    Something tells me it’s you who doesn’t read enough. Checkout some words whose pronunciation is different from the spelling. You’d be surprised to know why that is. Or why some words have changed their spellings (from colour to color or metre to meter).

    “Bigot” is not a good look on you.

    Yes I understood that in the second reading. I deleted the comment but I guess it was not propagated in time everywhere. Also you can’t add up the men’s and women’s percentages because the number of participates could vary between the two groups.

    Tell me this, why don’t “but” and “put” sound similar?

    What about “height” and “weight”, what’s the rule here? And what makes a letter silent in a word? If any of these rules have exceptions, then why are there exceptions?

    They are “descriptives” that’s literally in the name. Mocking them is equivalent to mocking historians for only knowing the past and not being able to predict the future.





  • There won’t be a conflict of interest because everyone is paying. So it’s not in the best interest of the other member countries if a corrupt country is getting a favourable report. Because their member fees are being wasted. So there’s checks and balances inherently built into the system.

    So in a hypothetical similar scenario this report requested by LMG is funded by GN, Hardware Unboxed, The Verge and all the other YouTubers including the LMG. So there’s incentive to find faults in LMG within the group funding the report.






  • Obviously not. That’s what I’ve been trying to say. There should be no conflict of interest. It would be exactly the same as what LMG did.

    Always follow the money.

    Why do you say I tried to change the conversation topic? All my replies are sticking to

    1. Independent investigation
    2. Crowd-sourced funds (or in its essence, no conflict of interest)

    Admittedly my wording could be improved in my original comment in hindsight. What I meant was that there should be no conflict of interest in where the money was coming from. So Linus paying for it is a major conflict of interest. I have provided several links that look into this subject in this post. I recommend that you read them.
