Its a lot harder for poor or powerless people to have child sex orgies on yachts though.

Virtuous people become doctors, social workers or kindergarten teachers.

People who spend their entire life in front of computers should not be the ones with the keys to society yet here we are.

If there were drug dealers selling meth outside schools we would not leave it up to parental responsibility.

Hamas is not the same as Palestinians.

But I understand that Israeli soldiers need justification to shoot at children and raise houses- just as Germans needed justification for their genocide.

Highway patrol back when the regular police drove Beetles.

They did research on how many people you need to keep the human species alive. It was not ten billion.

I would want my kids to be happy. Who gives a shit about what job they have.

It's almost as if there are some very powerful forces that want to discredit political dissent.

Its especially funny in light the US is always complaining about EU regulations.

I would still prefer bureacratic laws to the chaos of the White House.

If the Kremlin calculated that European countries would just back off it was a very bad call indeed. Any reasonable leadership would have cut their losses yet here we are.

World cup games are played on public broadcasting networks- communism! Which in reality means FIFA gets a nice paycheck from taxpayers. But no commercial breaks except during half time.

Paying for email will never be the future of email.

Another subscription for software- and people outside HN hate paying for software- when outlook, apple and Gmail exist?

This is hilarious to me. In my country people prefer to have wind turbines 20 kilometres off the coast line instead of near their house...

Offshore wind is the perfect NIMBY solution.

Yeah obviously they still teach letters at school. People can read their name.

But reading a long form article about the Iran war? It looks bleak.

A family member of mine is mayor of a provincial town. She has to deal with protesters reenacting the Neurenberg rallies, angry drug dealers and the run of the mill psychiatric melt down citizen. There is a panic button in her penthouse.

Nobody is crying about Jihad and ten years from now she will be living in the green zone.

In my country it was eventually accepted that some people are too far gone. The junkies got their daily ration of drugs until they died of natural causes.

I don't think America is culturally capable of doing that though.

It's really a disgrace that the only country who stops Israel is a brutal dictatorship. It should have been the EU- self proclaimed protector general of human rights lmao.

Piracy is and always has been the only way for more obscure stuff.

Personally I do not feel guilty pirating a decades old TV show or movie. And I really doubt the industry cares much either.

As an atheist I dislike all religions including Judaism which would make me an antisemite?
