I have a feeling that if you watch the actual video of those events, you’ll find some differences in the movement of their arms.

Yet another reason not to let US meat products into the EU

I bet some of them do.

You asked me to name a good service a government provides for a large number of people successfully. I named several. I get that you have ideological problems with goverments doing stuff, but governments not doing stuff results in what you can see in the US right now.

The original post is also not about a hypothetical ideological question, but that the US government was captured and dismantled by its corporations, and those corporations want to continue that societal rot over here. The EU cannot tolerate that.

They are not just funding existing projects like Lemmy, they are actively encouraging new projects by providing funding for “open internet” style stuff.

Though yes you are right, it is different from directly hiring people, since if they did that, it would be very hard to relinquish direct control of the project. Corps can’t act solely for the common good, governments have that as their stated mission.

I guess I was just being facetious that the guy sounds like a Taliban moderate, like he’s not so radical that he’d not kill women and gay people, he’s the compromise candidate who will only kill gay people.

It just feels like a strong parallel to US politicians who are all for not killing women via denial of abortions, but are still for killing poor people and workers via denial of insurance.

As i said, [greater] middle east :)

TF kind of weird American term is that. Kabul is as far away from the Middle East as Berlin or Moscow is. It’s as if Turkey or Iran went around talking about the “greater European area” and included everything from Vladivostok through Berlin to Anchorage just because the prevailing culture has christian roots.

Also, this guy is also “the Taliban”. They have their own internal struggles, and I think demilitarizing will soften them up a bit. That said, I also don’t expect a female Afghan prime minister in the next century.

It’s not noticing a sign next to roadworks in a city, sadly not uncommon.

I meant km/h, 30 is a fast cycling speed, 50 is the usual residential area speed limit.

Afghanistan is not in the Middle East, it’s solidly in Central Asia though. I think women can get an education in all of its neighbours - at least in India, Pakistan and Iran they can. They wouldn’t mind them catching up I think.

Is this where we say incremental progress is best because it’s actually lasting? Like with the Dems in the US?

You can host Libreoffice Online if you really want

I do since it’s a better service

US corps own the government, not seeing how that’s better. Also, the US does kidnap people who they don’t like internationally as well.

What if we didn’t do oppression olympics and needless political division for 5 minutes. Every gov sucks in its own way, so do corps, but people, including Chinese people are awesome.

Have there been cases like that already?

Depends on the jurisdiction. In some places in some conditions going 50 in a 30 is a criminal act that can result in jail time.

Yeah, they know you’re addicted, and won’t let you cut yourself off

Then if you have ever gone faster than the speed limit, you are a criminal. That makes most people in the developed world criminals.

That aside, the point is that naming someone a criminal has moralistic baggage, and by saying that anyone that breaks laws is a criminal thus immoral, you imply all laws are inherently moral.

What makes someone “criminal” as a quality? Breaking the law? Killing people? Are all health insurance workers criminals too?

He shot a man to death who killed thousands. He’s a vigilante if anything.

DDDOUBLE KILLLL!
