I ran the numbers and got 17 months.
Although realistically if I stopped receiving any income my monthly spend would drop - I would certainly spend less on food and luxuries, which would buy me at least an extra 2-5 months.
I know you excluded it, but again if my income stopped then at some point I would sell my house. if I used the sale money to pay off the mortgage and then start renting a flat I could go without income for about 8-10 extra years (that surprised me!).
The Satanic Church? I didn’t realise they do charity work. Who do they benefit?
can’t argue with that
My sample was not random because I went to populated areas where people/tourists are likely to go. I wasn’t saying it’s literally true that you cannot go anywhere without flags. But it was striking to both me and the person I was there with the sheer number of flags that seemed to be everywhere. We joked that there must be an unspoken rule that a business without a flag would be snubbed and seen as as an enemy of the state.
I’m sure random google maps locations don’t necessarily have flags, but if you visit you can’t deny the overwhelming prevalence of them in e.g. malls/high streets/the beach/in restaurants/etc.
No.
Americans don’t realise how strange this hyperpatriotism is.
From the outside, “pledging allegiance to the flag” is cult behaviour; it’s seen as brainwashing.
I visited LA last year and you almost cannot exist in any space anywhere in the city without having at least one american flag visible. Often there are dozens of flags visible from any given sightline. This is not usual. Most countries will fly a flag over important buildings, or maybe in any given city there will be a few national flags in key locations. If the city has a good flag design, maybe the city flag is displayed frequently, such as in Amsterdam.
But outside America, people don’t have this need to express how much they love their country. In America it looks like a competition as to who can adore their country the most. That’s really not healthy citizenship as imo it discourages criticism.
I find that often the player will spin like this for 10-20 secs before starting to play. I wonder if it’s trying to play an ad, and the ad is being successfully blocked but the video doesn’t start until the length of the ad is over. If you see the black screen and the loading spinner, try just waiting for 30 secs and seeing if it starts on its own.

Fascinating news!
Why people are upvoting this drivel is beyond me.
Oh, it’s dangerous and harmful all right : to their business model.
But… is it? I have Plex and Jellyfin, but I host my tv and movies library. I don’t watch tv or movies on YouTube. I watch youtuber videos on youtube. It’s different media.
Are people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?
The bottom comment in the op image? Yeah I agree, I came into the comments here to see if anyone else picked up on it.

SponsorBlock. I watch hours of youtube a day and it’s improved so much by SB. It’s the creator’s full-time job so I chip in to support the project. I’d be devestated if it went away.

I’m looking for the chatroom that you’re addressing but I can’t see it
That can’t be the reason. I feel like that would be pretty easy to implement. I can’t see manufacturers saying “well we could put cellular capabilities in laptops but if we also have to allow emergency calls then we’ll just not bother”.
sure, but I tried this and they all suck. I only have 8GB of ram so can only use the smaller versions of the models, and they’re much much worse at just making up random shit
There are a load of resources online. The UKPersonalFinance subreddit is a good place to start, and a lot of the advice is applicable outside of the UK too. If you don’t want to read or think much, then just pick a broad index fund with 0.2% or below of fees and put your savings in there.
