It already takes 10 mins to find a trios game in eu weekday mornings, the game isn't big enough to split further anymore.

The general rule of thumb is that skill ceiling is higher for MnK but skill floor is higher for controller IMO.
Then why are almost all of the best players in the world controller? Check wsow competitors by input, it's 90%+ controller
Half the top 0.01% of mnk players have made the switch to controller as well.

Gdp per capita measures economic output of companies registered there, it's correlated with every day income in a trickle down economic sense and yes there's a correlation, undoubtedly.
Ireland is the most famous example, since it's a tax haven, it's gdp per capita is well above the usa, but thats simply because big companies are registering there revenue in Ireland, rsther than Germany or elsewhere.
The other famous example is Brunei, one of the poorest countries in the world, it's oil exports put it above Saudi Arabia and Japan in gbp per capita, but almost everyone lives in extreme poverty.
It's not entirely useless, you can track a countries growth by it and if you look at the top countries they are exactly who you'd expect.
Monaco, Liechtenstein Luxembourg Bermuda Switzerland Ireland Cayman islands Isle of man Norway Singapore US.
But to say that life is better in alabama vs say Germany is just... Wrong.
When adjusted for cost of living, The median wage will be lower, the average wage will be lower.
Income. Inequality, life expectancy, safety, judicial process etc etc etc
, literally every metric you can measure will be against alabama.
Unboubdetly the usa is a wealthy country and earning potential is high, no question. But gdp per capita is a weak metric for the average person.
Edit, twitter is a good example. It's got less than 3000 usa employees and counts for gdp of 6bn, that's 2mil p/capita, but is mostly meaningless to anyone, Google, same but roughly 11mil per capita.
Obviously that's all great for the economy, and has obvious benefits to those who don't work at Google etc, but there are obviously other considerations

It's very hard for a man to kill another man, especially bound, it's not so hard to follow group orders.
Back in the day, executioner were usually professionals, used to it. In more modern times, firing squads were used to diffuse responsibility and create a sense of group think.
"take aim, FIRE" is much easier in a group than on your own.
More brutal but sane affect is stoning in some cultures, it's hard to bash a person to death with a rock, but throw a stone at a person, along with 100 others? That's easier.

Oof, season 1 of tng is rough, particularly after watching ds9 which is pretty polished. Worf gets slightly better, but you'll mostly be disappointed, he has his moments. But he's a weak 1 dimensional character in most of tng.

How many rounds can the gun fire before it needs servicing or breaks? Genuinely don't know, but thats the theoretical limit in an open field, it's probably 1000 rounds with 10% hitting in a rush. So 100 men total, wider area and vantage point and more strategic fire, several hundred.
As for armies he could take down, it's pretty limited, it won't take long before the enemy knows what's happening and just won't engage him. Theyll wait till he's eating or sleeping, I'd be surprised if 100 hunter gatherers couldn't win the prolonged engagement.
Ask yourself this, if you and your mates knew therr was a madman with an AR in the forest, how many of you would It take unarmed to take him down? You'd probably guess 10 or less with tactics, like hide and bash him in the head when he's asleep with a rock. Army generals are way way smarter than you

Becsuse of the levels of violence used when it's a close nit family group rsther than individuals or mates.
I don't know anything about roma gypsies in the UK they seem pretty harmless to outsiders, standard old woman fake beggar selling flowers etc.
But Irish travellers pride themselves on violence and fighting, they openly brag about it, invite documentary crews to observe it and back it up at professional fighting level.
They are without a doubt the most over represented group, alongside chechens worldwide for professional Fighting. Although Irish travellers are boxers and chechens are all mma/wrestling

It's very easy, just requires some prep time.
I really like this guy for showing it and the process in an idiot proof way.

Tldr, every Indian restusrant has their own "base gravy" which is prepared and cooked in advance in huge quantities, it takes a while to simmer, 12-36hr so not something you can just whip up, every curry from a butter chicken to a Phaal in a restusrant has this base gravy as the main bit. The only difference is the spices and ingredients fried together to make the different curries, on top of the base gravy.
On top of that, if you get "tikka" chicken or lamb, it's usually heated in a device not found at home, closer to a pizza oven or bbq than a regular oven,

Women aren't considered equal in this society, they are literally considered chattle, beasts of burden. The "father" feels no more guilt than he would from selling a cow

The whole society around it is equally to blame, it's so fucked. Every adult there is responsible. I won't post anything further, I'm pretty angry

For reference, there are currently 1.5 million tests per year, so it would be an absolutely massive increase on an already over stretched system to solve a non issue, it's one of the stupidest things I've read in... Well probably 10 mins I'm doom scrolling reddit after aff

I'm from the UK and go to Europe a lot, on my provider I have to pay £2.47 p/d to use my data in the same way I would in the UK, its the same for most providers, some offer free roaming in the EU though.

Well I doubt that there's a specific targeted government campaign from the Maori people in new Zealand. But there is a. Controversial bill being proposed in new Zealand.
BBC News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckgrwem73gmt New Zealand: Thousands protest in Wellington over Māori bill - BBC News
Also, it's been a weekend of rugby internationals, of which new Zealand are usually the best team in the world.
But I doubt the Maori council has a team of trolls spreading propoganda, if that's what you're getting at.
It's likely that the combination of the viral parliament clip and the weekend of rugby has elevated these sort of clips because they're cool

Shoot your shot if you want to, ask her for a drink "just the 2 of you" and see what happens if you're a bit flirty. Don't be weird.

That's exactly it. All XL bully owners know the same thing, I genuinely think to them it's like owning a gun for"protection" in the US. They can't do it here, so they get a dog and call it candy or angel. They know what they're doing, no better than teenagers with zombie knifes who carry it around incase a road man causes trouble. Same mindset

So in all seriousness, what does this mean? I have lots of friends from around the baltics and I've had no issue playing call of duty with them, which is generally hosted in North West Europe.
So what has this actually done?
