It's like you just ignored everything I wrote and went with whatever you had in mind. So there's not much point in engaging with your arguments.

From a global perspective, we do share common values and similar languages. A federal EU doesn't need to be exactly like other federations like the US. The EU has always been it's own thing, and an European Federation would also be a unique creation. Nothing of what you say would prevent that. Even within a country, people celebrate different holidays. And if you ask a Californian where they are from, they answer California, not USA. The only real blocker is mindless nationalism.

Someone at Ubisoft must want the EU to come after them.

It's true. Parenthood is under attack by conservative parties all around the world that want to destroy the safety nets that parents have earned. Parent leave, affordable child care, effective public schools, free school meals.

The article is total BS. Saying that having children today is crazy is not an attack on parenthood. It's just realism. I want people to feel safe to have children, but that's just not the case for the majority of the population.

Way to completely miss the point. Congrats, it's actually impressive.

OK, I had to double check this myself. I was operating under an incorrect assumption that salt inversely correlated with microbial activity, but it's not that simple. Too little salt allows unwanted bacterial to thrive at first, so fermantation is slower (or can fail). But too much salt can indeed inhibit good bacteria.

You can almost hear the batteries draining in mere minutes.

Either than or intersex. But definitely not bisexual. This is not what bisexual means at all!

I just use a magnetised needle and a speady hand on my hard drive.

Yup, had the same thing happen to me with wired earphones back in the day.
