NZ - 95.37% native Anglo speakers
Aus - 72.0% native Anglo speakers
Can - 58.1% native Anglo speakers
USA - 78.0% native Anglo speakers

The answer is New Zealand by far, followed by USA and Australia roughly close together, and dead last being Canada. Makes sense, considering so much of Canada is Francophone and immigrant languages like Spanish and Chinese are widely spoken throughout America and Australia while being almost completely absent in NZ. The only real non-English linguistic influence on New Zealand is Maori, spoken by about 4% of the population.

The 95.37% statistic is not about native language and is from a question where people could choose multiple options (I believe it just asked about languages spoken overall) which means the total add up to more than 100, therefore the comparison is faulty. In fact I'm fairly certain NZ has a higher proportion of Chinese speakers than the USA.

And for that matter, there a lot of immigrant languages being spoken in the UK as well.

If we're not talking about native language, then 98% of Icelanders knows English, so it must be super Anglo.

Do people actually pay for pornography? I'd bet a lot of money that greater than 99% of people who regularly watch internet porn have never spent one penny on it, lmao.

Singapore

Very Much No; really can't think of that many points of similarity at all.

Imagine if he gets convicted like 2 hours before this rally starts. I'm pretty sure he would remain free, but is he still going to go?? lol.

Edison Research has Twitter losing nearly a third of its American users between Jan 2023 and Jan 2024 (mostly in the late summer when the Twitter to X name change happened...hypothesis is a number of the more casual users literally didn't recognize the X app on their phone).

The pattern seems to be that the more casual users are drifting away while more hardcore posters continue to post steadily but with fewer and fewer people hearing what they're saying. Generally less impactful vs its heyday.

Slowly but surely a number of people who are big account holders with 500k followers will realize that only 300k of those are people who ever actually use Twitter anymore and their microphone is way weaker than they think it is.

Where are people who have left X going?

Hopefully out to breathe some fresh air.

It's not just building new homes that the government has interfered with, they've also essentially encouraged deadbeats to not pay their rent by making it impossible to evict them. They're also just making apartments worse for the rest of us to live in. It's harder to evict problem tenants who trash the place or make noise, and the government recognizes scams like "Emotional Support Animals" so it's even harder for leasing offices to keep filthy, noisy animals out of what used to be nice properties. Crap like this contributes to the declining quality of life in this country.

VOX, if anyone on the left still cares about them, I know how you are about canceling entities that don't toe the exact line you want, suddenly remembers that free speech is important

ROFLMAO

Between Elon Musk buying Twitter and universities crushing the protests, conservatives (and libertarians!!!) are really now having the last laugh in the "free speech" debate. You really don't hear "it's a private company, they can do whatever they want" or "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" from leftists these days.

I think plenty of people have said this about Twitter/X, specifically people who have voted with their feet and stopped using it. Twitter is still huge obviously but it has shrunk pretty dramatically and is an openly bleeding money wound with a lot of advertisers wanting nothing to do with it.

Twitter usage hasn't dropped dramatically, where are you getting that from? I see still it used just as much as before, just look at this thread (or really any thread in this forum).

No, and it's pretty clear the Catalan people don't either.

It's obviously close to the courthouse on a day he's in court. But still LOL. That's in the congressional district where the Republican nominee lost 97-3 in 2008.

Gain In DC is very fragile about Biden losing the election. He can't stand it, even when you tell him deep blue territory drifts to the right. bloody murder to him.

These are polls not votes like we are gonna believe these silly polls that Pred a Red wave in 22 and were wrong
