Lies like this is part of the reason.

Which they do. Not on a global scale, though.

It is quite annoying to be Russia's neighbours. But you can work around it. In fact, it's not bad to train yourself to operate without GNSS. And it would be even better if the jammers decided to spontaneously combust.

I've never been to a Starbucks. But from the content I see about them online, they do seem like a typical American fakery outlet.

Venti, that's twenty in Italian, is a cup of twenty American stupidity units of coffee. And their new CEO has a commute in excess of 1600km!

Even if I enjoyed coffee, I would find somewhere else to spend my money.

It's not up to date.

Human medieval times? No, don't be silly.

Horse medieval times? Now, that's another thing. Irrespective of whether they work or not, the horses I've spoken to are generally convinced they have entered the renaissance.

Worker's rights transgressions? Yes. Bulldozing a frog pond? Yes. Dumping mercury? No, that makes no sense. I can't see where mercury would be introduced in any meaningful quantities.

Also known as the Scandinavian mile. It is very commonly used in Sweden and Norway to describe long distances.

Before the introduction of the metric system, there were many local miles. Some a bit shorter than 10km, some a bit longer.

It's been a proto-democracy for so long, that it has become a pseudo-democracy.

There's a good chance you are mistaken. It was not specified which type of mile they are referencing.

The only sensible mile to use would be the Scandinavian mile (10.000m). = 6000km range.

Another possibility is the nautical mile (1852m). = 1.111,2km range.

And there are plenty of other "miles" to choose from.

The UCI's stance on trans women is not transphobic. In line with other sporting federations, they have found that going through male puberty gives a person who transition afterwards an advantage over cis women. So, they have decided to have prioritise the fairness of competition. There are plenty of valid reasons for criticising the UCI, but this is not one.

Fun fact: J'aime la France, but I'm neither French, nor British. I just try to emulate my spoken pronunciation in my writing.

Congratulations to Lyudmila for winning bronze in the 20km inefficient running race.
