This seems misunderstood overseas. The referendum wasn’t about our identity. That had already changed. What we voted on was whether a new flag to reflect it was worth a costly process to change it. Change lost but only because the British empire is so irrelevant here already.
The public debate at the time wasn’t on which flag was a better reflection of our identity. The debate was whether we should be wasting millions of dollars voting on it at all. The cost of changing our symbolism would have been even more.
I find it more curious when we say loanwords correctly. Most people say “tsunami” and “lasagna” in the correct Japanese or Italian. We don’t have these sounds in English but we all know them.
I prefer the long form:
“Disclaimer: the work was outsourced to a third party with a reputation for unreliable and poor quality results. These have been vetted but may still have irregularities that have not been identified. Use them at your own risk of loss or liability.”
Data cleaning is probably the most transferable skill you can learn in this day and age. Anyone not training their team to do it is doing them a disservice. Researchers need experience with large complex messy data. This is one of the few things academics do well.
I think the more valuable question is:
What’s a lesson poor kids hear at dinner that wealthy kids never get?
I think there’s a lot these people take for granted or are ignorant of.

Oh really? Ask it “what happened on 4th June 1989?”
My prediction for who will win the India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir is … Chinese manufacturing companies.
If you don’t like it, then leave, they said. Fuck this.

So economic dependence, peaceful coexistence, free trade and a shift to a service economy is good in Europe. These people are just incapable of acknowledging that Clinton and Obama did the same in North America.
It’s telling that the first thing the AI-powered “artists” did with GPT-o1 wasn’t to innovate or adapt. It was to make a cheap knock-off of a very particular director of a specific animation studio from a country fiercely protective of copyright. It’s not inspiration, it’s theft.
