They should also mention that most everything he says is a lie.

You’re a prescriptivist then I take it.

That’s your point though, isn’t it?

The “people” and the “territory” are not the same thing, but both words “country” and “nation” are used more or less interchangeably to apply to either.

Immigration isn’t real?

Yes but my point is that he’s not using the wrong word.

Edit: also Kurdistan exists

Both words refer to both concepts.

country

  1. A nation or state. 
  2. The territory of a nation or state; land. 
  3. The people of a nation or state; populace.

nation

  1. A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government; a country. 
  2. The territory occupied by such a group of people.
  3. The government of a sovereign state.

I don’t see any people in the pic other than the ones walking at the top of the frame.

Are there dead bodies there that I’m not seeing?

The only time I’ve been prompted to enter a PIN is when using the same card as a debit card vs a credit card.

Even though the you already have to use the PIN at an ATM.

No idea why there’s such a big functional difference between “credit” and “debit” cards.

That makes it worse! Clearly they did not get it right the first time around, or there wouldn’t be any reason to tweak and replace it all constantly.

Ah yes. Perfection:

Or maybe:

No? maybe this.

Edit I missed windows XP

No shakeups at all, it’s like a rock.

Perfectly reliable and unchanged from the beginning.

Edit since folks choose to distinguish “Settings” from “Control Panel” as if that doesn’t make the point even stronger. I’ll admit that it’s been pretty consistent since Windows 7. Still very different than the first iteration.
