   I honestly cannot imagine what it's like to think like you do. It must be hell.

   Yes that is what this thread of discussion is about. > I don't understand why a lot of people have a lawn in the first place > > Often times it is required by law or HOA.

   Many content creators do have Patreon accounts and I even support a few of them. But frankly I'm not going to subscribe to Patreon for more than a tiny fraction of the dozens of creators I watch on Youtube. I'd go broke.

   How about financially supporting the people whose content you consume?

   Yes, a lawn precludes an alternative usage of that space. That's just physics.

   Are you implying that not having a lawn means not having greenery? I would argue the opposite is true. While a monoculture lawn may be "green" it's about as barren a green space as you can imagine.

   "Huge dirt field" is not the only alternative to lawn. I would NEVER live somewhere where some busy-body group of Karens can tell me what I can, can't or must plant on my own property.

   The article you're commenting on is literally about one group's attempt to measure and tell the thing you say will never be measured or told.

   Perhaps because it's complete speculation with no evidence backing it.

    I have been using Twitter for 13 years and it's quite clear why they are pushing this so hard - because people aren't tweeting anymore. I follow around 400 accounts, constantly adding and removing accounts. My chronological feed u

    Yes, if we consider your completely imaginary numbers that have no basis in reality or even basic reasonableness then sure, it makes perfect sense.

    User who is receiving unsolicited messages from strangers should be the one banned because he decides to respond with a little joke?

    Well the point of using multiple reputable sources is that regardless of what basis it's reported, there is at least some widespread agreement. How does that "not help in anyway(sic)"?

    I disagree. I think the types of people this article is about - the silent majority of non-tweeters - are happy to compartmentalise different aspects of their lives within different circles. It's the tweeting minority who feel like the

    Literally the second sentence of the article. Is it that hard to read before commenting on an article? > This question will resolve positively if it is publicly reported by at least three reputable media sources or from direct statements

    I had my home built. I used a local builder and had complete control over everything that went into the build, from the type of foundation to the make and model of the oven. If you're paying the money you have the control.

    I just don't understand why people feel so strongly about this issue, nor why so many people are so confident in their belief. Both theories are plausible. We will never know which one is correct. And it doesn't matter either way.

    You're missing the point. The case was still counted in covid stats, because that is the accepted method from the WHO.

    Here in New Zealand a gang member was shot to death and was recorded as a covid death because he tested positive posthumously. This is apparently in line with international practices. If you don't see the absurdity in that then I don&#
