It's what happens when a country of 1.5b goes from poor-as-fuck to not poor-as-fuck.
It is an issue. Provocations need a response. Boundaries need to be set and signalled.
They don't mean it seriously. It's a provocation.
Let's not forget that gay men by definition don't have to chase the pussy. They don't have to consider whether women will start avoiding them.
I'm just so glad we are not on reddit and character background can be posted.
I'm not gonna interfere in this matter only to get a shiv in the back from the beneficiaries. When irl-women start begging me to "do something!" then and only then will I.
Ddg is mostly bing, but they have some few things of their own too I believe.
What the hell? Screenshot or something? I had no idea this was going on and it is certainly concerning.
Never heard of that before. What else did they do?
I wonder why it was removed though. Maybe should double check it seems legit.
EDIT: He did seem to know a lot of internal stuff when asked.
I thought you might find it interesting because it talks about
Every story came out at the same time and cited "sources" or "people familiar with the matter," but barely had any other details. This is typical of story planted by PR.
PRs will tell every reporter on the street "hey I got a tip for you but don't publish until Wednesday after market." And every reporter thinks they have an exclusive and types up the article. And then PR gets the most bang for the buck as every outlet publishes the same bullshit at the same time.
Yes this makes sense, but then plastic surgery is just a symptom and not itself the cause. The interesting question is why they are less willing to settle.
How does a plastic surgery operation lead to lower birthrate?
Aren't the kpopstars popular with the women though? I don't think the connection is obvious at all.
I don't hate it. Modern homes are fine. "McMansions" are fine. But I do prefer older more elaborate styles of business and apartment buildings. But it's often more a matter of not being beautiful than being actively ugly.
This is important to document thanks for doing it. It's a common misperception that only fringe views get banned. And if it hit #13 then by definition it is not fringe.
The interesting thing is that the Aussies can't post news either, because of a falling out between the news industry and social media over money. So with news gone and debate gone, the only thing left to do is post updates about your own personal life. Which might turn out not to be too bad of an outcome.
mastodon.social is just one mastodon server among many. Others have very different rules.
(nytimes) Will American Ideas Tear France Apart? Some of Its Leaders Think So
Politicians and prominent intellectuals say social theories from the United States on race, gender and post-colonialism are a threat to French identity and the French republic.
Europe is realizing it, slowly positioning itself for a future where America is a genocidal enemy.
You are right that there is a time preference, but currently it's very low, hence why rates have been slashed to nothing. There is also the risk which needs to be compensated. For this reason the person who takes a loan must pay more than what he originally borrowed. So far we agree.
But. And here is where it gets interesting. What happens when the unexpected happens? If you earn more money and want to pay back quicker, what should happen? Does it mean you pay less for paying quicker or not?
And if issues happen and you are not able to pay back on schedule what should happen? Should the debt keep accruing interest? Or is the total interest fixed when the loan is taken out? Can the creditor reposses your house to pay for the debt or not? When that happens does it clear the debt (even though the house has dropped in valued) or not?
There are many ways of making these decisions, and some may be better or worse. Because I find these questions interesting I do pay a little bit of attention to islamic banking.
I'm really excited to see how this will play out.
Psychopass had a neat illustration of this. People thought they were just playing a videogame but actually they were remote-controlling killer robots.
500,000 is a small city. It's absolutely mindboggling how they destroy something that big so quickly.
I 100% agree with the need to build community and institutions. I think voice chat would help a lot doing that. I think many of us have stayed away from voice chat over very justified concerns regarding discord. Both a fear of getting banned, and a fear of eavesdropping.
A matrix server would give us (voice) chat without reducing us to sharecroppers on discord land.
I agree with the overall point you are making about compartmentalization and applying pressure. But in the details you miss a key point. 3d printing has made huge strides and that means that disarming the population just wont be possible.
Edit: Idk about ammo though, that might be easier to restrict.
