i mean...they DID trespass onto a military airport and messed with military aircraft.
that was what they did, that got them the designation "terrorist organization".
the planes were about to fly weapons down to israel, afaik, so i think they were doing something worthwhile, but, you know...bad idea regardless.
I don't agree that this makes them terrorists, i think that's some insane hyperbole on the governments side...but it does fit a very draconian definition of "terrorism": simply defined a "using force to achieve a political goal"
the entire thing is stupid. this is the stupidest timeline, after all...
there is, maybe, a market for more specialized, niche platforms...but it's a huge maybe.
nebula seems to be doing very well, but again: highly specialized content, and a closed/curated platform.
other than serving video content, it has little in common with yt...hence the big "maybe"!
and there's been a few similar attempts in recent years, which i don't think really went anywhere either...
depends! do you wanna know how the system will evolve over long periods of time?
... then yes!
the downvotes are due to the bullshit "bias" claim.
let's you know they're a tankie...
they travel to the planet with the toxic slugs and ancient power plants.
i think it's the first planet (or one of the first) that gets settled.
the rocinante gets sent as a mediator for the two factions at each others throats.
think it's book 4 or 5? didn't think they'd manage to get that far in the series, because of the setting and SFX requirements, but it translated surprisingly well!

pretty sure it's thor:ragnarök
they do mean subverse!
yeah, there's an inherent problem with that:
in general, people choose adult games explicitly to get off, so putting a bunch of unrelated activities between them and that is not a recipe for success.
or in other words: good gameplay makes for bad porn, and vice versa.
i understand what you are asking for, and the solution for that is modding;
check out loverslab!
the biggest communities (i know of) for this are:
- Skyrim Special Edition
- Fallout 4
- The Sims 4
- RimWorld
all of these have what you're asking for, with varying levels of integration into the main game!
and since it's modded content, you even get to decide how much, and what kind of, adult content there is in your game!
and when i say everything is customizable, i mean everything!
so take a look and have fun ;)
Windows itself already splits those up in security and feature updates.....
no it's more like saying "desalinated water is fine, it's the brine that's problematic."
which is true.
and the same goes for teflon:
the PFAS are toxic, not teflon itself.
glossing over that distinction is disingenuous...
yes, you can't make one without the other, true, but the end product is not toxic. that's an important difference you can't just ignore in order to say teflon is toxic, because a requisite material in (cheap) production is toxic.
because that's like saying desalinated water is toxic, just because brine is toxic..which is obviously ridiculous.
are you dumb?
none of the links you posted talk about restrictions on certain materials within libraries, e.g. all of them allow you access any information at any time.
ALL of the links you posted talk about restrictions on the membership registration process, not what you can and can't borrow from the library.
this isn't about censorship, it's just about establishing who you call when a kid misbehaves on library grounds or damages something the library owns.
that's why a guardian is required to co-sign memberships: kids break shit. like, all the time!
so first of all: fair points.
but also to consider:
- the Vatican is the only not-country with a permanent seat at the UN (this in itself is somewhat insane)
- the Pope's direct influence might be limited, but the cultural influence the catholic church holds should not be underestimated. if the pope gets killed or injured or simply stubs his toe in gaza, europe will, absolutely, go berserk. it's pretty dumb, as you've pointed out, but it will happen.
- beyond religious influence, the cultural influence of the catholic church is actually incredible! (consider: every settlement, from village with population 5, all the way to metropolitan cities has at least one church in all of europe! every single one!)
- the pope is held in high esteem, even among other religions and their leadership. killing a pope is, effectively, a declaration of war to the entire world. that's the kind of shit that makes north korea go "wait, that's insanity, wtf?!" (and this isn't pure admiration, it's simple survival instinct: the leadership of all major religions is smart enough to realize "if it can happen to the pope, it can definitely happen to us", and that includes jewish leadership)
- even most people that feel contemptuous about the church as an institution (which i definitely am one of) would be extremely upset by such a blatantly hostile action against a major foreign dignitary. even just harming a pope is unthinkable to most europeans raised in christian households. even if we've become firmly atheist later...
- imagine the president of germany, france, italy, poland, spain, or really any other european country being assassinated in gaza. all of europe would revolt. it would cause absolute mayhem in geopolitics and most likely result in immediate International intervention, i.e. severe sanctions. (because israel has nukes, although they would most likely be forced to relinquish or severely reduce their capabilities and they would definitely be subjected to international oversight.)
- the US cannot, i repeat, can not ignore hostilities against the church. there will be riots, and it will unite people like basically nothing else could, because even conservatives would get severe whiplash from those news. trump claims to be christian, and even the nutty american christians would be upset enough to force a reaction out of the white house. yes, even this white house. because, as someone else has pointed out, not ever in history was a pope killed in a military conflict. never.
or to some it up:
✅: fuck the catholic church and fuck the pope!
🚫: but never, EVER, fuck with the pope!
Madonna really, truly, has a point here: the pope could probably end this genocide!
because as you've pointed out; having fans in gaza isn't really important!
...but the leader of THE most influential religion in the entire world?
hell yeah, that guy has influence! and hell yeah they could definitely throw their weight behind this cause!
and Madonna drawing attention to that fact is actually solid strategy to get the church to respond:
no response means complicity, but virtually any response other than a resounding renunciation will be seen as weakness.
she is putting them on the spot, forcing a reaction. that's how politics works, and this is a political move, and an honestly pretty great one at that!
edit; forgot this bit:
this is why Madonna pointing at the pope is more than just a rich person that could do more being cheap; nobody in the world has the sheer support of the pope and the catholic church. she's acting as a force amplifier. that's something that goes beyond mere monetary influence, although you are absolutely right that she could do more.
check your email addresses, then check for malware on your system.
that's definitely not normal...
workaround: zip the folder?
i know it's a little annoying, but it does make it into "one file" ;)

what a ridiculous idea. that's not how anything works:
copyright applies to the intellectual property, not the exact file.
so the code itself is the copyrighted thing, not the file you download.
it doesn't matter whether you download the gpl version, you type out the gpl version by hand, or delete all new code until only gpl code is left.
all you would need to proof is that the code is identical to the gpl code. how you got to that code is completely irrelevant.
you have some fundamental misunderstandings about copyrighted material, intellectual property, and fair use.
most importantly: copyright applies to intellectual property. the idea of a thing, not the physical thing.
so in the case of this emulator, the file and where you got it from is completely irrelevant; only the content of the file, the code, has any meaning. which means any files that contain the same code are identical in the eyes of the law, regardless of how you got them.
copyright is not a contract, but a license. and a license is a manual that explains how intellectual property (the idea of a thing, not the physical thing) is allowed to be used by someone. it's not specific to an individual, which is why contracts have to be signed by both parties. so no, you don't have a contract and no obligation to adhere to the new one at all. you can choose to use the old license, as long as you don't use any of the new code.
unless you want to modify and/or distribute the new code, the license (CC-BY-NC-ND) is irrelevant for the user.
and you can modify your own private copy as much as you want, you just can't distribute it, or modify and use it in a way that is illegal in some other way. but that's about it.
and all of this applies to both US and german law.
and none of this is remotely relevant, because the gpl version is still available for download!
nothing got replaced, so the gpl license is very much still applicable to that version of the software!
"new" does not mean that the old version went anywhere; it's still around. and you can still use, modify, and distribute it under the gpl.
you accidentally put a "/s" at the end as if that isn't exactly what austria is like XD
