I'm just hoping this doesn't end up being the first step of many. But time will tell, I suppose. Would hope the German regulators could be reasoned with, but of course simply the fact that this happened must eat some confidence on future.
Just worried that the US-non profit might get pressure from donators from US-legistlation, or that the board of directors start to influence the direction of the development.
More like: is internet big because a whitehouse (among other institutional actors) has a webpage? Is email big because whitehouse (among other..) has an adress?
Just to air my related pet peeve: US people think they're the world to the extend they don't even bother to put their location on their profile. And if there's something that can be read as location, it's a place that's so "other" that they don't even think it's an even theoretical alternative.
Just the day before yesterday I made an error by thinking someone was Syrian..
Hey, was scrolling past the live feeds and came across this.
Don't know much about transitioning, but I thought to say the following: I'm sure you're right when you say these problems are temporary, but that doesn't make them any less valid. And it feels horrible when you feel you're alone with your problems. It's not true (the cause of all our suffering is common), but it's hard to see, when you're down, or when people are getting lost in their own life.
Godwin's Law (the first) helped me develop my debate skills. When I couldn't just say "this is like Hitler" but instead had to resort to things like "it's hard to find any good things with these policies... poverty will rise, among other things".
Even as fascism is on the rise, I find it more helpful to speak of the results of these policies instead of referring to shorthand, as pop culture has mixed the actual Nazi policies with fictional stuff.
Have you considered military surplus? The Polish officer's coat I bought two years ago for 60€ is the warmest winter coat I've ever owned, warm even in -30°C.
I know finding these is a bit of a dice roll, but Varusteleka seems to get shipments semiregularly, you can subscribe for an inventory alert, and they sell these on both sides of the Atlantic, I believe.
You can button these to both directions, if that's a criteria, and the backwaist can be adjusted, somewhat.
This has more to do with the fact that major labels own most of Spotify, so shafting independent labels/artists allows gaining monies from those who didn't sell their business/music to labels directly.
It's a bit unfair to blame Spotify-the-company, which has historically (and probably still) doing actually quite badly, as it's just a pipe from consumers to labels, without enjoying from a strong position like Apple with Itunes.
40% is still a significant improvement over personal cars which lay dormant 95% of time (iirc). Don't rightly know how it improves over taxis who have tried to improve efficiency longer than there have been automobiles.
