other than that the British people don't want to be in the EU.

So your point is that regardless of the euro thing the Brits don't want back? Then why are there so many polls with majority wanting in, and so many talks about it? It's all media manipulation?

New ones have to to become full members though?

I totally get that, and that a lot of them are dead now because of COVID and age. Still, it's not the citizens that have privileges, it's the country, and the majority decided out.

Y'all being on equal footing with other new members shouldn't be seen as punishment, it would be incredibly unfair to other new members if y'all got privileges when joining back. Those other countries also have people that wants to join as much as yours did that didn't want to leave.

Look at those gerrymandered counties! Precious!

I though the username was something like "It's Morty" but in a cute way.

Or are you saying that you dislike people mistyping your username as smarty? Makes sense that it makes you feel as pretentious.

Have fun Maria!

If you are smart, you manage it better and people perceive you as smart.

Uh... Duh? You basically said "if smart, smart".

If you have to work harder than other to reach the same level and to keep it, you are not smarter or dumber, you just have a disability that makes it harder.

Aaand don't come back!

You clearly don't live in a tourist heavy zone. Also the fact that you generalise what some locals in selected very tourist heavy cities are doing with the whole fucking country is very telling. We are better without you <3

Why are you selectively choosing to consider only the "new kingdom" part of the whole thing? Overall it's from 3150 BC – 30 BC

I can also reach to whatever conclusion if I decide to ignore what doesn't fit and modify what does to make it fit better. That's wrong...

Not many do. Yours didn't, for example.

Average out of which number? There has not been enough empires in human history to get any kind of valid statistical conclusion.

Also, the ancient egyptian empire lasted over 3k years, for you to get an average of 250y with such outlier you would need to include what, several 10y "empires", or divide empires by ruler. Which would then make the conversation moot since each US president would be a new "empire".

The claim comes from John Glubb, and he used this chart to make the average out of... 11 data points!?! While missing tons of other ancient empires that lasted thousands of years?!

This is the book where he makes such claim

So to answer your comment, yeah math is easy. Impossible to reach such average number with all the data though, given that it was made with a wildly incomplete and incorrect data...
