So... another 9/11 basically

How many days do Pakistani weeks have?

It took a while but in the end we found out why the internet was full of Putin and Musk's memes a few years ago.

Actually this stuff has been going on TV since I can remember.

So you can trust the economist's too. Also "wanting more trees" is something you can measure, it is not a feeling. Asking them if there are enough trees in their city and comparing them with another, unrelated sample taken from a different place instead is throwing numbers around and doesn't tell you which city has enough trees.

🤣 Really? Even saying "how do you measure perception" has nothing to do with it? Are you sure?

Being in the Privacy community, I'd say microG is the superior solution to have the functionality you need without giving google access to your device.

That's a pretty good example I'd say. It's normal practice for most countries out there. I'd even say that as long as you have borders you'll find someone who wants to push them further.

Exactly, you can't trust such a survey, no matter the source.

So since when do you consider Brazil not a colony?

As you can see here, measuring democracy in this other way paints a pretty different scenario.

Why? Because the perception of democracy isn't physical reality.

There is no "coefficient" of freedom of expression to be coupled with that, so that you can start to try a comparison.

As a random example, that coefficient could be derived by the percentage of population that has been arrested for protesting in the last year.

The wars that waged even after the declaration of independence of Brazil, though.

Few years after there was the Paraguayan war.

I totally agree now Brazil is different, just saying they tried their imperialist moves, just like others.

For the same reason psychology isn't considered strictly scientific.

And where is the scientific method in all that?

No, that's not how it works. If you test something thatbis not even scientifically measurable over two different samples you aren't testing shit. You are just throwing numbers around that don't correlate to each other.

No, I simply have critical thinking that makes me unable to trust some random numbers.
