  • FPTP is not the only form of being limited to two (or fewer) choices. Look at Georgia, Cambodia and Thailand as a few examples. Vietnam, Russia and China for other limited-choice countries. Not sure what the "english-speaking" part is relevant for.

  • No, in systems where there is a dictator, corruption and no realistic opportunity for other parties to get a foothold.

  • Those are very good points. It's very monetised so that will help. Would I submit right to erasure through YouTube?

  • That campaigning starts over a year in advance... then you don't even have a switchover for two months.

  • That's very common though.

  • There's a reason you didn't ask me and asked everyone else, because you know there's harm. Stop weaseling.

  • People that grew up in poor neighborhoods (e.g. in the ghetto/barrio/sticksbackwoods), what behaviors, customs, and beliefs did you change when you moved on up?

  • It's short for council estate. We also have the same connotation if you own an estate, a large parcel of land with a big house or whatever.

  • It would cross borders which I will not be remaining in very long.

  • Thanks. I told them as much and that it was odd, but I don't have the opportunity, nor the desire to make it a big thing outside of getting myself taken out of the video. The copyright/DMCA concern requires a lot of detail which I just don't have, so I went through the recording-without-permission route which seems to be a goer.

  • You're right, found the relevant reporting process. Feels a bit too late now but yeah, did it anyways.

  • I tried reporting but didn't give me a relevant option.

    This is in Europe. I just did a quick search and you're right, consent is needed where this was recorded.

  • Or, it's knowing how fancy something is and then having to one up people. Money is involved but perhaps not explicitly mentioned, depends on the purpose though.

  • "the sticks" doesn't mean poor, it just means in the countryside (at least in the UK). On the estate(s) would be correct for us.

    I didn't grow up particularly poor, but became poor upon moving out of the family home. This led to making do with very limited ingredients, finding bargains, and that has stuck with me ever since. I've saved a lot of money down the years, can live very frugally for a period of time when I really need to, and as such became a homeowner because I knew how to knuckle down and avoid unnecessary expenditure, perhaps to the detriment of my health at times.
