the proportion who have at least a high school degree: estimate 65% vs. true 89%

the proportion who have an advanced degree: estimate 37% vs. true 12%

So basically what they guess is ±⅓ has no high school diploma and another ±⅓ has an advanced degree, while in reality ±^1^/~10~ doesn't have a high school diploma and ±^1^/~10~ has an advanced degree.

Meaning while in reality 77% does have a high school degree but not an advanced degree, the estimate is that only 28% does.

YouGov would happily take your bet I guess:

The samples were weighted according to gender, age, race, and education based on the 2018 American Community Survey, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as 2016 and 2020 Presidential votes (or non-votes).

They really should have started selling ⅕ lb burgers to make up for their losses

Don't be too quick to judge what previous generations referred to as a lunch break, a replenished body can really help keep the workers functioning! ;)

To be honest, I think all Finland did was translating that saying to Finnish lol

a big major-label-backed advertisement

Not necessarily, but a big major label can obviously see a benefit of having one of their upcomming artists take part in the competition. But if this were really true we'd see much bigger artists joining or the top artists blowing up much more often. Most of them don't end up with that many new fans once the competition is over, I guess because their song is too different from the rest of their music and they end up as one hit wonders like Loreen (the singer of Euphoria). Sometimes they do get a large following at first but within a year or two their new fanbase just slowly disappears. The only group that ever made it big because of Eurovision is ABBA.

Not just their bigger neighbours, but also smaller ascension-candidates like North Macedonia

I think (partly) because Microsoft proved we have a point and the rest hasn't yet. Not as major as blocking a judges access to his email at least.

You mean my pico-retirement? Sometimes i lay thinking awake before i start it and yes, sometimes I have thought about work during it and yes sometimes I think about what the day holds just after coming out of it - but that's why you need to have a nano-retiremtent after every four to five pico-reti's you know.

I also try to stack them if I found myself to occupied with work. I'll allow myself a pico during a nano for example, instead of raving all night I choose to do some self-care. It's really about finding the right balance. Please leave a like and subscribe for more meaningful insights.

'This New Trend Called …' is to Gen Z what 'Breaking News: …' is to Boomers: it won't really impact your life straight away but still you feel you should listen to that FOMO calling.
