How though? Ukrainians were in the same boat as the polish as undesirables under nazism so I don’t see why it would be a necessity.

A lot of them on Reddit, they even go through the trouble of censoring the flags before they post them.

Sure but to an external observer it matters, especially if my country is explicitly supporting their cause.

It’s not the same, it’s very, very explicit in Ukraine.

I hate Putin and his regime in Russia right now but Ukraine (atleast from the pictures I’m seeing) seems to be overrun with explicitly neo nazi groups. In my ideal scenario they both take each out without effecting the actual EU.

I wish I could code in the time when there were no deadlines and you could gradually plod away at incredibly complex assembly code while hanging out with some like minded folk. That probably stopped being a thing in the 70s though.

I mean it seems like in the vast majority of cases torture wouldn’t leave a lot of marks at the bone level, which means skeletons of tortured people don’t really look all that different.

What do you think inflation is?

Drugs, marketplace/Craigslist stuff, farmers markets and food stalls, all tips unless it’s a restaurant, a lot of my landscapers/contractors etc.

No, we should have billionaires like in my comment above but it shouldn’t be easy to pass all of that to the next generation. Inheritance should be reasonably taxed and if the next generation has the chops to become a billionaire again then

Yeah I’m in the camp where I want to see rapid progress above a decent quality of life for everyone. I feel like we’re rapidly approaching a point where technology can realistically solve all of our basic problems and want to get there as q

You just can’t achieve really big things with a medium amount of money. You can have the government do it but you never really see that much innovation. There’s a reason you don’t see a huge amount of innovation coming out of Europe.

A credibility issue which is quite relevant. Is she making up everything in that article?

I don’t think so. The very rich can really try things and build industries that we wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. Elon musk wouldn’t have been able to do anything he did without the money from PayPal. Same thing with the Rockefellers and

The electricity can come in a variety of other ways, doesn’t have to be just burning natural gas.

There’s the Indian Mahindra which is advanced but still basic. I’ve seen a lot of them in the Midwest. Their tractor is the best selling farm tractor in the world.

Probably not, you can always get a mix of less qualified people/contractors over the short term and build back up.

How do you validate yourself as the owner of the bank account especially if that validation happens over SMS? Is there a password or pin that is secret? Or do you have to go to the bank website and initiate an SMS send to your new phone? Ho

What happens if you lose your phone? There must be some way to transfer the account right?

It does except we don’t shame people completely as a society, we have a lot of niches and self assuring peer groups that negates the shame coming from some segment of the population.

Asians consume a lot of alcohol including Japanese, Koreans, Chinese and Indians.

Asians effectively use body shaming and community/peer pressure to essentially mold people into staying fit.

How can you even tell? Any human can just claim they made it.

There would be way, way more translators in a highly globalized society like today if it wasn’t for machine translation. Also translation is an exact science for the most part, art isn’t.
