Nothing to do with that, China bans all explicit content, whether it’s porn videos, photos, or in suggestive text form.

Nah they want to attack whoever they feel like without having to go through a meeting.

Only the king or queen (if rightful heir to the throne) is immune, in accordance with article 5 of the Norwegian codex.

The king does have the right to pardon criminals though. He doesn’t exactly seem to be very fond of the kid though, and is generally seen as a very just man and close to the people.

That is just as bad.

I’ll throw post WW2 apologetics into the ring. Can’t blame Israel publicly without risking career suicide, both in politics and corporate.

She already said that she’d do just that. Let’s see how fast they’ll let her leave next time. If at all.

Yep, from highschool onwards the education system is fully in English. It’s pretty much an exact copy of the British system from that point on, thanks to the colonial past.

Finland has tuition free PhD programs for nationals of any country, Germany and Netherlands offer paid research positions where you basically are a full time student and still a part time lecturer - working hours can be tough though, since you need to balance the two. If you have some modest savings, Malaysia has some excellent universities and very cheap tuition (I’m doing my phd here and pay about 10k USD for a 3 year program) and cost of living is very low.

Excessive? It’s an entertainment show. Just like they tilt the camera to the sky and mute the audio when a runner gets onto a sports pitch during a live broadcast to not give them an audience, muting calls from the audience during a concert is just about the same. You might agree with the message, but that doesn’t mean it’s justified.

It’s a start though. As long as they can’t legally get elected, they can’t change the system from the inside. The NSDAP was a legally elected party.

Is that hawk tuah chick still around? I saw some Instagram clips showing her trying to sell some shit on a podcast I never saw before, and then literally never again.

Incorrect, according to German legislation, weapons may be used to protect life and prevent harm. Courts have recurrently ruled that an attacker with a knife approaching the police or innocent bystanders are considered beyond stoppable if they are in immediate reach of a potential victim (which has been said to be in a range of 6 meters and below).

What needs to be established now is whether the cop used unnecessary lethal force, since the guy has been hit 4 times (3 direct hits, once grazed), and at least one shot was from behind.

I wish that was true. But as someone manufacturing medical devices in China for the American market, I can tell you that some components can only be obtained from the US. Usually it’s some very specific sensors that are patented by US companies, so even if knowhow to replicate them exists, I couldn’t use those parts in devices I’m selling back to the States.

What that means is that I now have to buy several components at twice their normal going rate, which brings the total price of the machine up by around 20%, and then I sell the finished product back to the US with another 84% on top, making the product more than twice as expensive for the hospitals buying them. And knowing hospital practices in the US, they’ll tack on their standard margin, so patients pay at least triple for the treatment.

The investors have a seat in the board of directors in xAI, and for a shareholder deal you must have board approval. So at least more than 50% of the directors support this, meanings he is legally in the clear.

Lol, thanks for identifying yourself. I always like to get a head start and block deluded people before they get too annoying.

If the car owners sold the car, they’d have cash but no car. And apparently they need a car, else why have it in the first place. So no, the money was never going to feed the poor.

Now the owners will get compensated by their insurance and can make a smarter choice for the replacement vehicle. Tesla owners get a message, and they only one hurt is the insurer.

It’s not terrible, but not a proper substitute. All the niche communities are very much dead. On the other hand you have an overload of leftist politics, linux, and gaming. Nothing inherently wrong with those either, but I’m missing a fair balance.

With the exception of nextcloud and firefox, those are all crap.

Unfortunately there’s hardly any American product I use here in Malaysia, so I can’t make any sort of impact.

The only American things I use are various software applications I need for work (and no, as an employee I can’t simply switch to FOSS).
