Haha. Jesus, the amount of people in these threads that NEED to believe that she's useless and a bad person is insane. Whatever lets you sleep at night, I guess.

There isn't one? Are you joking? What is This then? 1.2 million donated by the foundation as of 2022. Money from awards, prizes and donations. That's nothing, right?

What about This one? Which claims "started in 2018, when 15-year old Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate." They gathered millions of people for strikes and they name her as inspiration. But that's nothing as well, right?

Man, if only everyone in the world was as useless as Greta...

"What a silly thing to say.

I'm certain that pretty much every person in ukrain or gaza or a bunch if other places has more demonstrated bravery than Greta. "

Are you claiming that there's only 20k people in Ukraine? Cause otherwise, yeah, you did claim that.

Also, yes, they're brave no question about that. But they're protecting their own. Greta is helping others. I'd argue that that's braver.

Oh, damn. I didn't know 20k out of 20 million is "most people". That changes things.

Ever heard of strength in numbers? You can't organize shit without people. And these "celebrities" bring people. But sure, you go ahead and organize your friends and she'll do what she thinks is best too. As long as Gaza gets help, doesn't really matter who did the most.

The point of activism is to get more people to talk about issues and to bring about change. There's billions of us. A single person will never be credited with changing the public opinion on anything, that's not how things work. It's unfair to ask what she has accomplished because she's not in a line of work where results are immediate and obvious. And she's only 22. Millions of people are talking about climate change and other issues thanks to her. Can you name a more (positive)influential person?

Yes, she's successful. How many activists can you name over the top of your head? I'm sure the list is short. And most of them don't get as many headlines written nor do they gather the same amount of people.

Do you want someone to go around the world and ask each person who inspired them to be better humans? Do you want to ask politicians why they pass each bill and which protest forced them to finally take action? Or how do you propose we quantify her success if not by number of followers and articles written?

What makes you say that? She's choosing to put her life in danger for others when she doesn't have to. How is that less brave than simply being born in a certain place?

All 4 games are great. And I do enjoy the one and done deal of the first 2. I don't mind finishing a game in a few hours. If anything, that's actually a bonus nowadays. Most games I stop halfway and never finish.

However, if you were to just focus on finishing the main story and consider that enough, I think you could finish Hades just as quickly. So to me Hades is just the same kind of game but with more replayability.

Shame on you for not posting a link! xD Here ! Legit 10/10 album imo. Made me feel like listening to painkiller for the first time again. I'll never not take the opportunity to recommend this band to people. So awesome. Even if you dislike this song, just try different ones. They've got 23 albums, tons of variety. I promise you'll find at least 1-2 you'll enjoy.

2 articles with opposite opinions on the same site, posted at the same time. Ok, interesting

You don't really want charcoal taste in your cigar, so that's to be avoided.

Thanks again for these! Keep up the good work :D

All I said was that she doesn't have more power than money can buy. Because money can literally make you the president of the USA. Unless you think that's somehow less than the princess of Belgium than I've literally never heard of until today. But if that's simping, ok. You do you.

Ad hominem cause you have no arguments, nice. So you get called out for making stuff up about people and your defense was "WAH, I have to pay 40k taxes, why should others be filthy rich when I'm only rich?!"

And I'm the idiot? Ok.

What do you mean not really? Minimum wage in most countries is below 25k/year. If you're playing 40k in taxes, it means you're earning a lot more than that. Median is somewhere around 40-50k, so you're earning more than that as well. You have no idea how privileged you are if you think you have it bad.

Never said she was poor, just not "more power than money can buy".

Also, you're paying more in taxes than many people's yearly gross income so maybe you're not so poor yourself so... Yeah..

You're either overestimating the Belgium crown's power or underestimating the power of money. Also: "Belgium's monarchy has topped the list as Europe's poorest royal family, with the Belgian monarch King Philippe estimated to have a fortune of about €12.4 million"

Well, there's no "British cuisine" per se, but there are British restaurants. For example a pretty famous and influential one. Also, most pubs serve food and those are now pretty much everywhere in the world, that's quite British, isn't it? Dunno the history, but I always associated it with the Brits, maybe I'm wrong.

Your comment made me wanna google the two economies and related stats. They're a lot more Similar than I expected. Pretty cool. So I guess UK's plan failed? xD unless France used to be richer.

Lmao. That was good, ty
