Theory: they know. They know we're in trouble, that we need to take action, that we can fix the problems. They know that they're wrong and that they're making things worse, but they don't care about being right or making the word better, they only care about winning. To change is to admit defeat and, therefore, lose, so the only way to win is to make sure that your opponents lose too.
It's not half anything. More like 85%
A bit of guesswork here, but: back in ancient times if you flipped or rotated an image your computer would actually unpack the compressed image, transform it, then repack it and every time you did that it added to the JPEG Crunchiness, so more modern transform software instead just tags that the image is rotated and the viewer software renders it that way. My guess is that the software that makes the thumbnails doesn't know how to read that tag. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Now you can speak Welsh. Well done or, should I say, Yakkie-Cymru.
Yeah, kind of. One thing of note is that a lot of presenters on GB News are not just paying members of right-wing political parties, but are actually "serving" or former MP, MEPs and, now, PMs.
You bought the computer and paid a subscription to be able to replace the computer with a new one every year or two.

- If you know how to speak Quack, wouldn't that be the obvious language to try ahead of Spanish, German and French when addressing a duck?
- It's pretty obvious that a language made up of nothing but the word "quack" couldn't work.
- Ducks can't talk. Why would you even try speaking to one in the first place?
They did win. It's tautological. They won because they think they won. If they loose they shift the goal posts so they win. You have to bring your arguments to them and they decide if they are valid. And when they get into a corner and can't possibly win they win the only way possible: by making sure that when they lose, you lose more.
My theory: there is basically no-one left who remembers WW2 first-hand, and a lot of people only know that the atrocities were commited by "evil monsters". And we're not evil monsters, right? We're sophisticated modern humans, not evil monsters, right? We are, therefore, incapable of atrocity or even mistake and it cannot happen here, right?
On all lines the total amount of available bandwidth has to be split between upload and download. If you've got gigabits or even hundreds of megabits to play with then symmetric is great, but on slower connections is makes a world of sense to heavily favour download just because humans are better at consuming information than creating it. Consider how many hours of videos the average person watches per week versus how many they create in the same period. Same for photos, emails, articles, etc. There are people who have parity but they are in a pretty tiny minority.
That said, I hear there are people in the US getting 300Mb/s down and 10Mb/s up which is pretty fucking nuts.
