Fuck FIFA and their corrupt World Cup. If you have to watch, don’t do it live and give them viewership. There a websites that provide “match highlights” and FIFA won’t see any fucking money.

It doesn’t have to be. If you live in another place, you can host your own instance with your own rules.

!twnw@fedia.io ! It’s about time.

The conservatives will have a fit over this. “small government” and other brain diseases they have

Countries are just made up and this /c/Greentext . Nothing is to be taken seriously here

I make no claims about other gemstones.

What do you think the article is about? Read the headline.

TIL out of all gemstones, diamonds are the most common

That doesn’t refute my statement in any way. We’re talking about diamonds vs other gemstones. Had you said “gemstone X is valued more than diamonds both in monetary and world-wide cultural sense, here is a source”, I might agree, but all you’re saying is “we are mining more diamonds than other gemstones, and we could be mining even more but aren’t”. That says nothing about whether the are more gemstones out there than diamonds or not.

Imagine we had 1 billion gemstone X , 10 billion gemstone Y, and 100 billion gemstone Z, but gemstone X was the most culturally and monetarily valuable gemstone and the others were worth a fraction thereof. Gemstone X would naturally be mined more and thus be more prevalent. If you mined 1k of gemstone X and held back others from mining to control the number on the market, sure, you could say “we could mine much more, therefore it is incredibly abundant”, but that would be false because Y and Z actually are the more abundant gemstones.

The article doesn’t reveal any numbers whatsoever, so simply saying “it’s the most abundant gemstone out there” is a valueless statement.

Fuck the USA and their goddamn tipping culture. Pay your staff properly.

The article makes the claim but doesn’t back it up with anything. I could also write an article and say “although many people wear diamonds, the most abundant gemstone on the planet is rutile” without providing a single source.

This is what it says:

However, diamonds actually number among the most common gems. Ask yourself this: “How many people do you know who own at least one diamond?” Now, ask this question about other gems, like rubies, sapphires, or emeralds.

While we have much to learn about the Earth’s interior, our current knowledge of gem formation indicates that diamonds are likely the most common gem in nature.

That’s it.

Surely that’s because we value them more and they are thus mined more.

Danes have to be proud of fantastic stories written by somebody who never even set foot in their country because they don’t have any impressive architecture to have survived thousands of years.

I think it’s quite obvious what kind of landmarks they’re talking about.

“they built something 5k years ago, that’s unimpressive”

“lol, look who’s talking”

“we have something recent”

If they get a Mamdani-like president in 2 years, I bet you that will change and people will forget aaaaaall about the misdeeds of the U.S. “oh, they were always good”. It would be terrible for the rest of the world.

Built 5k years ago?

He won’t be sending out his troops, just providing land for Russia to invade from, maybe even places to refine Russian oil or provide reinforcements. When Ukraine attacks, he’ll cry foul.

More like somebody who believes in 12.5% of the bible, no?

Vote right-wing. I’m sure it’ll solve it.

Why is the EU letting in Russians anyway? I don’t get it. Unless they are refugees and fleeing conscription, why are they being let in? It seems like a big risk.

Why watch them live in the first place? Can’t you watch the replays or just highlights? Is football even worth watching live anymore? It seems like such a slow and boring manner to consume the sport.

People be dumb. Whatchugondo?
