London currently has 73 MPs out of 650 (11.2%) when they have 9mil out of 67million people (13.2%).
So guess you're right that they'd get stronger representation.
However on the other hand, people like the Green party got 2.7% of the vote in 2019 while only getting 0.15% of the seats.
Some voices get stronger, but it's not just cities.
It makes my blood boil much more than it really ought to.
I've never seen the tree and have basically no connection to it. But just seems so senseless and destructive.
I've a friend with one that I want to try sometime!
How will these protests lead to meaningful change? Do you think this form of protest will result in any more success than aforementioned 'right way'?
Sure - but what do the attendees of a gaming conference have to do with new oil wells being approved?
I switched the opposite direction a year or two ago.
Being stuck sat a desk at work all day makes me want to game on the sofa in the evenings and I find a console a much handier way of doing that.
Cause if you don't buy the $70 disc drive, then you save $50. That's the logic...
Long as you're happy to be limited to digital purchases and not be able to buy 2nd hand games.
I guess the disc drive is also good if you decide a year or two later 'hmmm, maybe I should've got the disc version actually'.
The idea a student was struggling with one way of solving the problem and teaching them alternative methods never occurred because it was “outside the curriculum”.
It's a tough balance of being 'outside the curriculum' vs 'they don't have time'. There's lot of methods of doing most things in maths. Teachers usually will be trying to take an evidence-based approach of which method is supposedly the most effective for the most people (but unfortunately won't be the most effective for everyone. And then with the amount stuffed into our school curriculum, there just isn't time to cover the alternate methods
Which countries are you referring to out of interest?
We do need more people to work in certain industries. Not necessarily more people in general, but there are absolutely industries that relied on foreign nationals to help them meet staffing levels and after Brexit they aren't meeting those. This is partly due to UK citizens feeling they are 'too good' to do certain types of work, though more and more are now taking these roles as there are no other options as our country becomes poorer.
I think the Internet is partially to blame.
The negative stuff happening in the world seems to spread so much faster and get so much more publicity that it's easy to end up in a constant negative spiral
