I thought paying staff properly was the cool hipster thing to do? Not wage theft and fines.

Personally, I boycott. It’s much easier to boycott companies with terrible overpriced products.

Oh no.that’s disappointing.

It’s not that it matters. It’s that if an acronym is new, it makes sense to clarify its meaning until it’s clear to all.

It still can be. However, it’s often just a demonstration rather than a protest.

The king doesn’t reset the government and him interfering with our politics would probably lead to more support for us to be a republic.

There is a balance between authoritarianism and sensible regulation. China is too far one way, the USA is too far the other way. Freedom comes from the abilitiy for more people to live their lives as they please.

Protesting is important. Protecting civil rights is important. Australia goes too far on quashing disriptive protest, but is tolerant of peaceful organised protest. Disruptive protest is more effective.

Lol, no. That’s a very USA and guns culture centred view. Australia has weapons. We just don’t allow everyone to have them willy nilly. You need a licence and to properly store them. We see it as sensible and lament the deaths of all the USA children who die for so called freedom. It’s much more free here.

However this is a worrying sign of overreach. Luckily the USA has no such laws, like the patriot Act or the current proposal to register your address against online accounts. You know, to protect the children you’re all so fond of killing.

Lost two out of three and the headline is a positive? I know politics is about setting expectations to frame a loss as a win, but that’s a bit rich!

When it leads to layoffs it might affect us all.

I wonder if those firms will be held responsible for the costs their misinformation incurred. If they don’t stand by them, what’s the point in contracting them to do it. They may as well make the numbers up.

The eu won’t allow another Norway or Swiss model. It’s created too many headaches. Of the uk rejoins, they will commit to the euro and lose their CAP rebate, just like any other new entrant. It’ll probably only take 10 years before accession talks.

Probably as she lives on coronation street, so she’s seen a lot of crazy stuff. Murders, rapes bombs etc. It’s not as safe popping into Rita’s shop for the newspaper and baked beans as it once was.

The thing with most carcinogens is they are cumulative. If people are going to continue to consume lots of red meat, cutting other carcinogens does help.

Obviously, the media would be better from a public health point of view to focus on the red meat. However, the media focuses on news and changes. Red meat has been a known carcinogen for a while. Not to mention bad for the environment and ethically problematic. It’s led to a raise in veganism and vegetarianism and many people have cut red meat in particular or are flexitarian.

The problem with sweeteners in partiyos that many people consume them in an effort to be healthier, cutting their sugar intake. Over time, we’ve found out that they are more problematic than we knew. Risks for diabetes as well as cancer.

I loved aqua. Barbie girl is obviously relevant with the movie out, so it’s reminded me. However doctor Jones was also great for me at the time. I then went online and downloaded all their songs. It pretty much introduced me to mp3s. As an adult I still like it for the nostalgia and some of the lyrics are quite funny. Life in plastic, it’s fantastic or You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere.

However, O would not be breaking out the aqua for a party or dinner with friends.

I have a giant playlist of songs that are cheesy and fun but not intolerable to listen to for me, to play when my kids are playing. It’s got vheesey stuff like S club 7, which is probably more embarrassing than aqua, but don’t stop movin is amazing. It also has upside down by the a*teens. I pick songs that have words or concepts that help learn music appreciation or language skills.

Things like ROYGBIV by public service broadcasting teaches colours sits beside Gwen Stefani Hollaback girl teaching spelling.

And b*witched for the denim.

I just can’t answer that

It will be good when there is an easy way to back up and restore your subs, your blocks and possibly even your comments. If you wish to change instances, it should be easy.

How does that work from a user perspective? If they were subscribed to [email protected] , would the subscription transfer over to the new community without them realising, or would they need to manually subscribe?

I don’t have a problem with communities being able to move. The users should be notified and have the option to transfer too or leave. Over time, the values may diverge.

I also think the power should rest with the mods to do so. However, it would be wise for them to consult the community. For larger communities, you’ll likely never have consensus, so someone needs to be able to decide. If any instance became hostile or overrun by undesirables, moving would make sense.

I imagine the current threat from meta will be divisive and some communities values may differ from the instance they are on.

Awesome Photoshop skills. Making zuck look like a robot (cyborg) takes a lot of work.

It’s speculation, but still relevant to technology. You’ll find speculation in most news sources about technologym, otherwise it’s just press releases. How large platforms develop is technology news.

In Musk’s case, he’s divisive so people are more likely to share or comment on posts about him. There’s also a large element of schadenfreude.

If you don’t think it should be here, downvote away. However, your low effort comment becomes more virtual trash than the post it intends to berate. Instead, you could post better content too.
