To be fair, for many, they recognise there is a problem with crime and they think the death penalty acts as a deterrent. All the evidence disagrees, but that’s not the point.
As you say though, do many cruelty is the point, of even as a vengeance piece.
Haha, yes. It makes nonsense if you are consistent with names. Meta and alphabet for Facebook and Google. Y combinator as a part is a stretch too. But it’s just a joke!
The uk doesn’t generally provide housing. It does provide a monetary allowance for those that don’t have a primary residence near Westminster. Places like downing st are for the convenience of the state, not the politician, like the White House. The royals, on the other hand…
This is very different. This is people getting given government housing because they are feeling unwelcome in the community. It’s hypocritical and, as the article points out, it’s pushing out the people this housing was designed to accomodate.
Of course it’s not really socialism, as it’s not for everyone. The point is the state is proving their wants (not needs) while they deny the needs of others.
No, when it provides all your needs.
Yes, the competency also seems to be in the hr department and the recruiting department at the same level.
Isn’t that socialism? Government housing for me, but not for thee is pretty typical, but it’s also good they don’t feel welcome when spreading hate.
Really, in my country, it’s whoever is at the residence on census night, visitor, or resident, citizen or not. So, you don’t for wherever you happen to be.
People follow it by agreement and the idea is they face sanctions if they don’t. It’s unlikely America will face direct sanctions. However they are unlikely to find many friendly partners moving forward. The more heinous acts, the less other countries can overlook it.
It’s not just USA. The more countries that skirt international law, the more others also do the same and the less others listen to America. Putin doesn’t care about international law when invading Ukraine. Then china stops caring about consequences for invading Taiwan etc.
It’s stuff like this that makes the international community more afraid of Trump. The grifting and grafting is an internal problem. The fascism is a humanity problem. The breakdown in rule of law is a global problem.
I was browsing Lemmy in general on the bus and my 6 year old tapped the phone. He instantly said ‘cute’ and tapped out.
There is a whole series in different time periods with the same family dynasty. There is already a tv show in the 80s with pierce brosnan for one set in modern times in Hong Kong. I haven’t read them, so I’m not sure how much they are linked.
Yes, and it’s all relative to what we see and expect. There has been a general trend of improving living standards. However, since the boomer generation, there has been a continued rise in standards but their kids are the first, in the west, that didn’t necessarily have a step up in standards apart from technological advances. Food and shelter being huge and sanitation being effectively solved.
Yes, wouldn’t want to make people upset. About genocide. And purposely killing children.
We’re a lot more comfortable these days though. I think more people are struggling and stressed, but what counts as poverty is still better than the poverty of 1900s recession, as living standards have risen. It’s when people get hungry that violence begins and I don know that enough people are hungry to cause violent upheaval. It’s a good thing, but a lesson to the ruling class about the limits hey can push.
However, with Trump in control, I don’t know that those limits will be as precise or as considered. So, we may speedrun to it.
Ime mostly heard it in the context of: I would do that simple thing the correct and sensible way, but you do you.
If this was a mistake about something that wasn’t literal nazismz it would be a witch hunt. However it’s actual nazi imagery and lies and cover ups and comments that align with nazi type beliefs. He may be reformed but denying it and pretending is not a sign of reformz even if human.
We should welcome Nazis who reformz that haven’t committed nazi acrsz only expressed their horrible views, but they should be denouncing those views and apologising.
I think the bad attempt to minimise it is what is giving it legs.
Healthcare workers are very sued to dealing with lots of different family arrangements and high risk situations. They won’t contact anyone unless they are asked to, or in an emergency and they are the listed contact, or there is no listed contact.
If you specifically ask them not to, they certainly won’t.
Yes, as it seems to be a texture rather than flavour issue and relish has a very different texture, while retaining the recipe taste.
For salad, consider cherry tomatoes. For a sandwich, consider a tomato relish. Big, but similar flavour profile, but different texture.
As a parent of 2 kids under 10, at this age they don’t care about brands. The school uniforms are much more expensive than any t shirts or shorts or track pants from Kmart or bigW (Aussie retailers). Poorer kids still get hand me downs and second hand, whereas richer kids get brand new. Most kids are only-child these days, so the concept of hand me downs is less prevalent within a family.
For teens, I can understand that point, but for teens I think self expression and exploring identity are key parts of growing up.
