Oh, I don’t actually think it’s objectively likely that they’ll take action against Israel. I just think it’s more likely than expecting action from the US or UK

I wish them luck. The EU is much more likely than anyone else outside the Muslim world to hold Israel accountable for war crimes.

Which sticks will they use to be sure that this funding actually develops charging stations rather than lining CEOs’ and bureaucrats’ pockets?

Same here

Also, don't forget that many younger people don't read books that much, simply because they consume different media.

Good point.

Isn’t Germany still part of the EU?

This looks like there’s a rough inverse correlation between average temperature or hours of daylight and number of books read.

I'm not the one who brought athletics into this. I'm just following the conversation. But no, "esports" do not meet the definition of "sport."

"Sport" is defined as athletic activity, and "athlete/athletic" refers to physical exercise, agility, stamina, and strength. So no, playing a video game doesn't count.

If girls make you sweat, good for you. Sex could arguably be athletic, depending on what you get up to.

Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

Not sure if you’re an artist yourself or if your handle is meant to poke society’s nose. :)

Either way, yes, I know what art is. I also know that it is very much in the eye of the beholder. I just don’t happen to agree that playing video games rises to either an art form or a profession. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I did seem to find a soft spot, didn’t I?
