Why are countries still supporting Israel? Is it shame for past actions? Do they feel like they are on the right side of things and it will score them political points? What’s going on?

If Winnie The Pooh could do us all a solid and stop supporting Russia for a goddamn second, they could easily take over the 1M km2. What’s Russia going to do?

Israel is doing its best to be hated by the world.

Companies are supposed to be the nimble ones, not the government. Most of the time it’s companies that drive adoption of something, not governments. Governments are normally the slowest at adopting anything that makes sense.

To now turn it around and say “no, we will wait until the government adopts the tech” is backwards.

I’ll believe it when I see it. It’ll probably take 1-2 decades before the majority of companies have cut the cord. Many people I talked to expected the government to make the first step, not industry which seems completely backwards but oh well.

If Canada got rid of FPTP, proportional representation and ranked voting across all its provinces (Texas and Florida would become provinces) and federation (get rid of the monarchy), Florida and Texas would be much less of an issue.

They won’t leave. It’s inexhaustible. Best learn to live with the pollution!

Straight to jail

For the “#1 country in the world” with (2nd?) largest economy, it ranks below Costa Rica (6), Mexico (10), Slovenia (19), and UAE (21). It’s in the 20s with friggin Kosovo (29) and Belize (25). Belize btw is the #1 in perceived freedom.

For the news coming out of the US, yes it seems quite high. For the economic power the US wields, not even getting into the top 20 is quite bad.

Not centralised you say?

My bad, I meant deadly for longer. It was quite deadly in the first year, but that quickly changed.

Was it just me or was the video light on details? It didn’t mention how they are deshittifying, what they use, their current progress, satisfaction, and so on. If companies want to leave Microsoft, having some kind of track record of other companies doing so could help.

Wow… pro-climate action from a right-wing government? A raise of the minimum wage by a right-wing government? What’s going on?

Great. If it stops people from taking planes and driving all over the fucking place, good. COVID maybe gave us 2 years more in the climate crisis. It changed our way of working for the better. It revealed the failings of our educational system and outed the idiots among us. Had COVID been deadlier, it would’ve killed way more idiots. Yes, of course there were many innocent people that died, but there were so many fuckwits who didn’t take it seriously and that were lucky to have been dumb at the right moment…

I recently learned about Québecois cursing using every item in a church. They must have some hilarious-sounding mock names for companies there.

Goofle. Takes the evil out of the name, but still makes fun of it, so I’m for it.

Could be name of a dang good pizza place actually.

Those are relative explanations as in relative to the region. Compare it to Africa where the crime rate and murder rate is quite different despite there being active wars on the continent. Violence is of course present but not at the same level as in South America.

Why would they ban this? Is it revealing anything new? I thought it was common knowledge that they were treated inhumanely. Go to any prison in Latin America and I doubt you’d be treated well. El Salvadore erected these ones quickly and under the promise of stopping gang violence - it was expected that they’d be even worse than normal prisons.

Folklore is so based. Current traditions are so soft. I blame the USA for imposing their stupid puritanical views on the world.
