Individual Jehovah Witnesses are nice. The organisation as whole is incredible evil even by organised religion standards.

If you work in tech in Europe, lots of people are already on mastodon.

Money. Plastic is probably still cheaper.

The imbecile in chief didn’t know Puerto Rico is an American Colony. Do you expect him and his lackeys to know about the Virgin Islands?

Save that for the eventually of the plebs not understanding your brilliant meme. Nothing like a good old scandal to sweep less successful endeavours under the rug.

You are illuminating wrong. First you do the meme, then you replace 3 governments, start one regional war, engineer the merger of two global entertainment companies, and make sure the right actor gets cast into a movie you’ll make into a cult classic to make the meme relevant.

Android Location manager can get the location without Google Services and there are alternative notification services like ntfy.

EDIT: The location manager is part of the official API and ntfy is available on the play store, so apps using them will also be allowed. Besides, it’s android, you can install alternative app stores or install apps directly. Maybe it’s a good time to teach vulnerable communities how to do it safely, because using Big Tech services is not safe for them.

The CIA fucked the entire world more than all the cops put together and it’s not even close. And they are not even that good at hiding it.

International intelligence agencies are like a having a bunch of police departments all competing with each other for universal jurisdiction, if some of the cops were on everyone’s payroll.

NATO requirements are also fully met if the US deems that doing nothing is the necessary action and informs the Security Council.

Article 5 has:

such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force

which might also be thoughts and prayers while Trump is in the White House and

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security

which is basically what was offered to Ukraine.

By the same logic neither does NATO’s article 5.

You could make it more woke by replacing Kevin Sorbo with an actual human being, but that only affects the crossovers.

The protection is usually framed under the natural right to be safe at home, it has nothing to do with legal entitlements. i.e. someone considering a dwelling home makes it safe, not an arbitrary paper.

You are thinking about dignity and imagining a British aristocrat drinking tea from a fine porcelain cup with the pinky held up while plotting world domination. That’s the vernacular meaning of dignity.

In the context of human rights, dignity is the natural right of every single person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically.

You don’t infringe it by saying that your government is being managed by incompetent or immoral people. You infringe it when you say women belong in the kitchen and not in the office, or that black people are naturally inferior to white people, or that gay people don’t have right to love who they love, etc.

Every one else becomes a hero. Even Frieza was well on his way to anti-hero.

As a potential independent candidate Cuomo didn’t poll that bad if you don’t consider that:

• the 39% he got are the same as Mamdani, so it would be 50/50 at best
• as a known quantity, this 39% are probably his ceiling
• it still didn’t factor Schumer effectively endorsing Mamdani on social media

Political players are in still in flux, but, for the right wing of the Democratic Party, moving against Mamdani is getting riskier and riskier by the day. Not only would they lose the “unity” argument to mobilize the left close to the midterms, but the risk of suffering an humiliating defeat is too great.

The same way your right to wave your hands ends before they reach other people’s faces, free speech can’t include speech infringing on other people’s dignity (in the legal/philosophical sense).

Regulating speech within this frame is as bad as stopping a bar fight by dragging the instigator away.

FPTP will always lead to dysfunctional parties.

There are at least 3 “natural” parties inside of the Democratic, and at least 2 in the Republicans. At local level primaries can mitigate the issue somewhat, but a national level it will always lead to conflict.

Such brave heroes of the nation, who feel the need to intimidate a six‑year‑old leukaemia patient with a gun. /s

Absolutely evil and pathetically coward.

While he’s not as extreme as Órban, Magyar is also against helping Ukraine defend itself, and he’s being at least ambivalent about letting join the EU and NATO after the war.

We might have a Hungary problem, not a Fidesz problem.
