You didn't mate.
>Why is this a thing now?
You seemingly not understanding why this is a thing.
> Artificial trees used to always come in 2 parts. You had to assemble the top to the bottom.
You commenting on top and bottom parts, different from a left and right part / only half a tree which can be put flat against a wall.
>Which was easier to decorate everything but the lights on the top portion.
More about the top.

Then say so. You only questioned why this was a thing and something about top to bottom.

>/r/funnyandsad people are living in smaller homes than ever before
Eh, sort of sad. In the Netherlands square metres per person has increased over the past decades. But that's because we are living with less and less people per household.
Of course, homes themselves might still have gotten smaller.

Reply to comment by mmarollo in [OC] Halloween has become more popular than Day of the Dead in Mexico. by latinometrics
>Hallowe'en isn't an American holiday. It combines medieval Christian All Saints with a far more ancient Celtic festival of Samhein.
Yes. Which is very popularly celebrated in its current form in the USA and is being (to some degree) also being celebrated around the world as a result of American cultural exports.
Halloween as the majority of the world knows it is an American holiday. Other countries that have (some form of) Halloween celebrations are not doing it due to Irish influence or something.

Odd tip. I think people realise that you can in fact own more than one set of bedsheets.

Swatting to my knowledge is very, very rare. And isn't it generally done to streamers? Also only a thing in the USA to my knowledge.
What are the other crimes?

It might take a second to grab your phone and a few seconds to process. But in five seconds you can still slip under your desk.

Someone near you could warn you.
And finish what you're doing? Why? For tons of power tool uses you can simply stop. It might take a second to stop but that might take a ton shorter than finish what you're doing. E.g. if I'm drilling a hole in a brick wall then I can stop just fine.

They would know your last name and your address...?
Only risk I can imagine is them robbing your house when they think you might be on a honeymoon. And they would have to be in your region to do so.

Reply to comment by DomesticApe23 in Women will have equal share of seats in [New Zealand] Parliament with Soraya Peke-Mason's swearing-in by giblefog
There is at least one party in the Netherlands who had as a rule that their candidates have to be 50% women. Hence, more women enter parliament as a result of people voting for that party (note: the party. Not per se on those women).
Is that not some form of affirmative action?

Reply to comment by flamingoeater in Hair straightening chemicals associated with higher uterine cancer risk by BoundariesAreFun
I think you misunderstood their comment. They pointed out that obviously it will cause more uterine cancer because men don't have uteruses and don't (or more rarely) use hair straighteners.

This should be 'to combat the effects of climate change'. This is negligible in terms of carbon capture.

Wouldn't call the beach a green space. Some might have it with dunes behind it, but absolutely not all.
And I live in Amsterdam with lots of water. The river Amstel flows through the city and we have a bunch of canals. But not every place next to those is a green space. While I do think we all really enjoy the water and you'll have kids swimming in it in the summer (and us adults as well).

"Around bodies of water" seems like a much better description.
