If you were able to see what IP addresses had visited a Wikipedia page, would you be able to take the lists here, assume a reasonable time period going back, and identify uniquely which addresses had visited all 5 (or more) pages listed by each commenter?

You would be right to be highly suspicious of this article. I have no doubt that tourism will decline in the US. Bigly. But in no other country by even a tiny bit?

What stats do they cite?

The United States is expected to be the only one out of 184 countries to see foreign visitor spending fall in 2025, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.

Ok, so right off the bat they mislead with their headline.

Now do those 184 countries the WTTC estimated for include war-torn ones? And they’re all expected to do as well or better than last year? Press x to doubt.

Imprisoning people over their sexually is destructive to society. Let’s hear from the commenter before speculating further.

Why do we think the comment was about Israeli religion?

Those people were incarcerated by Iran, which is a theocracy, due to religious beliefs about LGBTQ people.

You could probably walk faster if you didn’t have the bike with you.

If you cover 12.5 m/s you can walk 3 km in 4 minutes. Should be doable walking if you take 2 strides a second and are about 1500 cm tall.

If we’re going to ignore the degree of the issue, then I guess the PRC is just like every other country in the world.

Why " with no required registration"? Where can you simply share videos without any account?

Get a butterfly net and a decagram of pins.

It’s also a country where manufacturers do whatever the fuck they want until they get caught. Then they bribe the local officials.

Gently used?

This could actually backfire because the Evangelicals were already doing this. Perhaps the more liberal churches, although dwindling with membership, which had refrained will feel free to badmouth Trump using his name.

Why would I even be in a warehouse when I could be subsistence farming on a commune with Boris and Sergei?

Since you’re doing work that pays less, I guess you could negotiate a lower salary for the period of time you are pitching in. That’s only if you really want to stick to your principles.

Yeah. It’s just that we’re putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So I’d really appreciate it if you could just remember to do that from now on. That’d be great.

I have a salaried job, and from time to time when there’s a big order we are asked to help out the manufacturing team, which is paid hourly. It tends to be repetitive assembly-line stuff, but it can be a fun change from the office work.

It’s not unusual during specific times to redeploy people temporarily where they are needed more. The alternative is to hire a bunch of seasonal staff. You have to train them anyway, but at least by redeploying existing people you at least know they are reliable.

They should fear neither. Orders of magnitude relative risk to a minute risk is still very little.

Trump infiltrated the pedo ring to bring it down, naturally.

Fewer workers are required when their productivity is enhanced.

Different people have different tastes, for sure. The problem comes with the ratio. Whenever both types are served, the ratio of chocolate chip to oatmeal raisin is always too low. That’s probably because there is a minimum batch size and you would need a huge event to get the ratio right.

Inevitably the last people to grab cookies only have oatmeal raisin as a choice but will probably assume they are chocolate chip, because who hosts a party with cookies and doesn’t serve chocolate chip cookies? When you bite into something expecting one thing and get something else it adds to the disappointment.

It would be like having an equal number of left- and right-handed items but not enough where everyone can have their pick.

According to this totally scientific site, chocolate containing cookies (any kind) are favored over non-chocolate cookies by 75% of people in North America (probably just US).
