It will make things significantly better in the short term.

Their entire infrastructure would immediately crumble. Nothing could be re-used. All successor parties would be banned automatically.

This means basically all their high ranking members are permanently banned from joining or collaborating with any future political party.

I don’t think I need to elaborate why this would set far right organizations back significantly.

True. We need more Margaret Thatchers alongside the Trumps of this world.

For anyone else wondering what a “MENSA” member is:

Mensa International is the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world.[3][4][5] It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardised, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test.

I was already questioning why school/university cafeteria staff should get any benefits that aren’t present in other jobs.

They also have decent records of relevant political figures which are in no doubt in the hands of the US.

Seriously, the nazis were able to compile lists of political enemies (suspected to be) in Brtiain 85 years ago.

It’s not a stretch to suggest the US knows exactly who is relevant to keeping the regime alive, whom to imprison and whom to kill.

Collapsing a nation is far easier than establishing a new one after all.

That’s cool. But come on, the headline should have been the obvious “Shining a light on dark matter”!

Sadly a mobile game so it’s not really worth your time as it has in app purchases.

But what could be worth your time is Devotion, a Taiwanese horror game which is not available on any store front (but their own) after an easter egg criticial of Xi Jinping was found.

Whoops. Completely missed that line.

Premature babies cannot be vaccinated against measles though. And you usually cannot determine who infected the baby.

Edit: If you don’t skim the article you can read the mother infected the baby.

Fair, “positive aspect” would’ve been significantly better wording. There’s nothing Trump can do to redeem himself unless he does an inverse John Fetterman.

Please.

The sole redeeming factor about Trump is being extremely unpredictable. He is a quintessentially ignorant American in that way. No one can reliably control him, he will flip-flop between diametrically opposed positions at will.

Hopefully chaos impersonated will turn on Putin for a while. Hell, if Trump continues to ignore legal precedent he may be able to harm Russia more than Biden ever did.

>99% of art does not make any money though. You don’t need to pay people to create art. You only need to pay them to create art faster. That’s how nearly all artists make money today: Comissions. Copyright only really benefits the most popular 0.1% of artists.

It’s not that much:

According to https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 it’s less than 10% of China’s total emissions, meaning 90% of their emission comes from internal consumption. This is pretty bad considering China’s emissions per capita are worse than the UK adjusted for imports and exports.

Prizes are income, otherwise companiea would hold a raffle each month to determine your salary.

Not quite. Immigrants intend to stay forever, while expats don’t (in my opinion).

That is, if these self-called “expats” do intend to stay forever and obtain citizenship they very much are immigrants who don’t want to call themselves immigrants.

Chambers, who has lived in Thailand for years, specializes in studying the influence of the Thai military, which plays a prominent role in the nation’s politics.

This is the sole reason for the arrest. Besides, why are you arguing someone who has lived in a country for years is just a guest?

They can do so currently by making a couple of minor changes and settling for a pittance because your lawsuit would bankrupt you.

“Chaos” is a better system than one benefitting corporations only.

Their source doesn’t seem reliable. They use a singular source (https://www.freedomforum.org/journalists-memorial/) for their WW1 and WW2 numbers.

It’s rather easy to see how these numbers are very much incomplete.

Why? It says that during WW2 a total of 10 journalists were killed in Germany - yet not one of them was German. With ~1.1 million German civilian deaths, I’d argue there were realistically a couple hundred German journalists among them at the very least. Sure, they were journalists for state propaganda outlets and I cannot bring myself to care about nazi propagandists. Yet they were journalists nonetheless who should be included in statistics.

And this doesn’t even begin to encompass all other countries where many more millions of civilians were killed. There is not a chance in hell the number of journalist deaths during WW2 is even in the same ballpark as ~60. 10,000 would be my lower estimate.

Those are the results from the 2024 European Parliament Election.

Here are the results of the more relevant 2023 State Parliament Election:

The state government is right-wing conservatives with centrist-at-best “social” democrats. Both are very supportive of police cracking down on people who wouldn’t have voted for them anyways.

Berlin is run by right-wing conservatives, not liberals. The federal government lacks authority for states deciding whom to deport.
