There are a lot of elderly American women staying in this hotel.

...No scientific rigour to look at how their numbers are created, the enormous amounts of aggregation bias and points of failure in choosing the data for what counts for inflation, nothing. Just "our numbers are an objective truth, everyone else is lying about their lives".

Awful people

The staggering intellectual incuriosity and disregard for the scientific method that is displayed by economists on here is wild.

When people tell them their numbers don't reflect reality, instead of asking why that might be the case, they instead shit on people and tell them that they're wrong...

The problem with walking around Amsterdam doing cool stuff on holiday, is that my feet are in a great deal of pain now.

That being said, the Keukenhof was well worth it. I think it's probably the single best reason to visit Amsterdam.

A new side hustle for millennials selling vapes to kids is emerging.

Gonna be like prohibition, I can be the Al Capone of Candy Floss vapes.

The only people who think AI is good are scam artists; people being scammed; and paedophiles. Which one are you?

I wish the Mystical Archive cards in Strixhaven 2 had opaque text boxes instead.

I hate the translucent text boxes, give me a text box that looks like a scroll and is easier to read plz

The UK would be 100% renewable energy right now if the fossil fuel lobby hadn't been perverting our politics for so many decades.

My friend has already Photoshopped this image into a psychedelic folk album cover in the vibes of The Incredible String Band lol.

A picture of me in the middle distance surrounded in flowers. Yellow and white tulips spring from a bed a hyacinths, in the background are some trees and pink and white tulips In the midground tall stalks with yellow flowers erupt upwards, looking like Exeggutor.

And here I am looking totally normal, surrounded by flowers, and apparently also some Exeggutor Pokémon.

A spread of tulips. Yellow shark shaped ones, purple wider and stouter petals on another. There are a few red ones in there and hyacinths in the background

Yellow tulips with hot pink patterns on the petals

A flowerbed of different flowers. Red star shaped tulips, pinky purple star shaped tulips, hyacinths and some light pink tulips also

A flower bed, on the left are wide raggedy edged.white flowers with reddy pink patterns. On the right there are darker mauve flowers with white edges to the petals

Some more spectacular flowers

Many tulips. These ones are a pinky red with yellow pattern at the tops of the petals. In the background you can see some purple tulips with more star shaped looking petals

A picturesque view of a small stream surrounded by soft grass verges covered in tulips In the foreground there are hot pink ones with shorter wider petals. By them are some hyacinths. In the background there are some yellow and orange ones and pink and white ones

Close up of some tulips They are pinky purple with yellow tips on the petals, however the petals are shaped in a raggedy fashion and make it look almost spiky. Small yellow daffodils surround them

Pink and white tulips with red tulips just behind them. Is it a sea of colour.

I saw many millions of flowers today, here's some pictures to brighten your day

I think you are the one who doesn't understand how the system works if you think that your politicians aren't vested in protecting the wealthy and powerful.

The USA is a bastion of corruption on both sides of the aisle.

Today I am going to see a shit load of tulips

It's so transparent how Labour are trying to use Olly Robbins as the sacrificial scapegoat over the Mandelson scandal, even though the UK Gov website said Mandelson was appointed before Robbins was placed into the role lol

It would be very funny if spy got banned in pauper before Legacy

You've made the mistake of thinking Labour are anything other than right wing.

The truth is that Tories and Labour (at present) are both pretty much the same and represent the same interests. There are just power plays between the powerful to leverage them against one another.

They had ample access to make arrests and did not make any.

The entire establishment was very aware of Epstein for decades. The elite protect their own, it's why Epstein was killed to keep him from testify and exposing others.

Your use of silly names for Trump is embarrassing. He's a fascist ffs

Also, what percentage of your post tax income do you spend on food a month (Excluding restaurants and take aways)?

If anyone feels comfortable enough to, let me know how much your Housing costs (rent/mortgage) added to your energy+water+council tax costs are as a percentage of your monthly income after tax.

The Democrats had the Epstein files for a long time which includes video evidence of grave crimes and they made zero arrests, leaving offenders free to re-offend.

They had no interest in punishing the powerful.

Neither do the Republicans either.

He's got some religious zealot energy about him tbh

Average water bill is like £50 a month, Average energy bill is like £150 a month,
Average council tax is like £200 a month,

The idea that housing costs are 30% of the weighting is preposterous IMO

It includes council tax, water, gas, electricity, other household fuel and household maintenance.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say.

I think the Democrats should have prosecuted people in the Epstein files and published them in full, but they didn't.

The Republicans publishing some of them was weird because it was self incrimination when they could have just done nothing.

Do you think the UNs condemnation of Labour's human rights abuses are right wing media lies?

Or the Lemkin Institute for the prevention of Genocide giving the UK a red flag is right wing media lies?

Labour are polling 4th in multiple polls, there are more than two alternatives to Labour...

Firstly using AI is a piece of shit thing to do, so jot that down.

Secondly, posting fatphobic content is also pretty darn grim.

Your list of "good things" is mostly misrepresentations or flat out lies.

I would not describe a human rights abuser as "not perfect"

What are you on about?

Mandelson isn't a guy who knows how corrupt politicians work who can deal with corrupt politicians, he IS a corrupt politician, and has been for decades.

By that logic, you think the child sex crime unit of the police should be staffed entirely by nonces?

Why do you think he dropped his plans for a digital tax on global giants just after Google gave him £100,000?
