Sounds like Reddit is a better fit for you then.

Sarcasm can be conveyed non-verbally. Through facial expressions, gestures or situational context for example. The core concept is not bound to specific languages but to the social/cognitive ability of the communicators, I'd say. Young children have a very hard time with sarcasm, regardless of where they're born.

They absolutely do. Even within the same language, regional accents can have very different prosodies.
I recall reading a Nature article iirc about how neonatal cry melody can reflect prenatal exposure to parental language! How nuts is that!? Brains are cool.

~~truly~~ become more knowledgeable.

Newspaper articles and news media in general have biases and editors with agendas. One should read multiple reports and apply critical thinking imo.

Here's some fuel for your hatred:
https://news.sky.com/story/the-uk-has-been-colonised-by-immigrants-says-ineos-boss-and-man-utd-co-owner-sir-jim-ratcliffe-13506333

"The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it? I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it's 70 million. That's 12 million people."

Goes around, comes around, eh? Meanwhile he's an immigrant of Monaco for tax purposes...

Seems like a lot of people replying need to work on their reading comprehension...

Use private trackers only. Public trackers are way easier to identify you on.
Disable DHT, PeX and Local Peer Discovery in your BitTorrent client. This will prevent you connecting to random public peers.
If you're just interested in movies/TV I recommend streaming sites with an adblocker. Just so much easier and safe enough. Find sites on fmhy.net

Otherwise Ebenezer Scrooge would have to spend that whole trip with the ghosts with his dick out.

You are.
I've been trying out a few apps when shopping, like Boycat (poor database for products in my region in my experience) and No Thanks! (works best for me so far but is focused on Israel, although I wish it gave you more info on scanned products/companies) and I've recently been made aware of Open Food Facts which I'm looking forward to trying, it seems to have a large crowd-sourced database.
They're very convenient to use, just scan the barcode with your phone before dropping the item in your shopping cart.
No need to wait for useless corrupt politicians to tell you what to do!
