minus-square@Demdaru@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-24 months ago18%. 18 fucing %. For the love of god that’s 1/5 of your bloody nation, wtf? Edit: Nvm, tired and can’t read for shit.
minus-square@myplacedk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•4 months agoIt went up BY 18%, not up TO 18%. This says nothing about how bad it is, only that it’s getting worse. It went up TO 0.23%.
minus-square@Demdaru@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•4 months agoYeah, I…yeah, thanks. Way to go for me, eh? xD
minus-square@ATDA@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•4 months agoOh just give it say I dunno 4 years or so we’ll be there soon enough and you can unedit the post…
