That would be the new world narrative yes. However, the word comes from the Greek σαρκασμός (sarkasmós) which is taken from σαρκάζειν (sarkázein) meaning "to tear flesh, bite the lip in rage, sneer"[0] Greece being in the EU, I th

Let me rephrase it for you: "If you don't let us steal every bit of income we can while operating in your countries where your local companies don't have a value larger than the GDP of Switzerland or Mexico, then we will get

"Among the goods to see an impact from the widened net of additional duty are European made wines, which will attract a 25% duty, and French and German-made aircraft parts, attracting a 15% tax." As a French person, I can't h

You know what, I started by writing that I don't think Facebook has to do 10x the work but as I was going through examples of behaviour from Apple, MS, Google, and even worse (the absolute crappy companies outside of big tech like Equi

Your first answer is ethically debatable in a way that entirely depends on what is perceived to be "right". I'm not sure it's as clear cut as anyone would want it to be, but your approach is consistent with a specific ki

Worth noting that rates don't necessarily tell the whole story. In some countries you will avoid prison entirely for a whole range of offences including even some "heavy" things. It's not impossible that in countries lik

To think that there is a singular defined answer to any possible thing and that we know it for any given field is to conflate models and reality. For some reason, and after many collapses, we've started to understand such distinctions

The DSM is a guide on average, not a book of truth. For one, it offers SOMETHING to discuss in the first place. The names change, there are sometimes huge mistakes in those books, etc.. That's absolutely true. It doesn't mean that

IIRC higher altitudes definitely register more radiation, the latitude effect being relatively minor in comparison. Interestingly enough, average background radiation is actually the highest in the US exactly where you are[0] and I've

Phones aren't addictive on their own, and I can prove it in one step: just disable any ability to connect to the internet for a whole week and tell me your phone usage during that time. If nobody had phones the interest in them would f

You could always use an older version of a browser for the specific purpose of playing those games. It's not great but it works (I have done that with an old version of Firefox for java web applets)

2FA through SMS is unfortunately the norm.. I own a "dumb" phone and a yubikey, and guess what: 95% of servies online from Jira to Uber or Instagram/Facebook will not let you use a yubikey without setting SMS as the main and

Yeah, since I've moved away from an AZERTY to a QWERTY I cannot imagine ever reverting back, but on the other hand this means no accent is directly accessible. As of right now I'm on a mac and I feel very comfortable with the way

Similarly in French, some accents are casually going away and certain differences are also slowly eroding (for example in English you put no space between words and punctuation while in French you do[1], but a lot of French stuff online is
