Does punctuation count towards character count on Twitter? Cause that could explain a complete lack of it

I see, the common "Americans will use anything but SI", but in this case it's also the Brits lol

Thanks for explanation

Since when 1000kg is not equal to one tonne?

It assists with refining your writing by rephrasing your sentences, modifying your tone, and tweaking the length of your text based on your preferences.

I don't remember when was the last time I wrote a full sentence in Notepad yet alone needed an Ai redaction. Because it's a fucking notepad! It's for writing notes not essays!

To register on that website I need to agree to Privacy Policy:

This means that your identity, the number given to the petition and the personal data contained therein: (1) may be disclosed to the recipients mentioned in the paragraph above; (2) may be mentioned in public meetings held by the Committee on Petitions, and thus webstreamed (which means that they may be watched by anyone through the European Parliament website); (3) may be mentioned in the plenary session, and thus be recorded in the minutes published in the Official journal; (4) may be made available on the internet website of the European Parliament.

Do I understand it incorrectly or does it allow them to webstream my home address???

In my country for administrative cases with short deadlines courts have fast tracks. So in such a case the court probably wouldn't issue any final judgement but could order everyone involved to stop further committing potentially illegal actions.

How dare people use games for recreation! Why would they not think about the shareholders!

This is, reportedly, a comment under, reportedly, a post

But it's also a 10% over which in western world we have quite a lot of control. You can vote for local governments that want to expand public transport. You can demand more bike paths and pedestrian friendly infrastructure in your neighborhood. There are multiple examples around the world (even in the USA) of communities or even whole cities significantly reducing car-centrism over several years.

It's wrong to blame people for using plastic packaging when there's no feasible alternative. It's wrong to force people to go beyond their comfort by using less electricity or heating because governments didn't transform the energy sources.

But each gram of CO2 matters and when reducing emissions doesn't require much effort or sacrifices (like voting) then we all absolutely should do our part.
