It's annoying, because production imitation is fundamentally a cool thing that should be normal and beneficial and enormously widespread. But Capitalism has to artificially limit it because eliminating scarcity prevents the innovator making money. (And as usual, 'artificial limits' can be bypassed with even more money, meaning rich people get to copy whatever they want at the expense of poor workers anyway).
In a system where everyone just lived a fulfilling healthy life either way, we could innovate enormously better, more openly and more cooperatively.
Dangit, I've already spent my whole life not liking Evangelion and having to humor Evangelion fans in conversation. Do I now have to do it for decades more?
Headline: MAMDANI TO CLOSE LAST EMERGENCY MIGRANT SHELTER
Further down: actually only the last established by emergency measure "migrant-only shelter"
Further: transitioning migrants to safer, more regulated shelters. All residents relocated to beds. Sites in breach of standards will be manageably reduced.
I'm ready to slam the guy for being a two-faced lib, but shall we wait until he actually does the bad thing?
This was my suspicion too. Their page and Amazon (illegally) suggest salt is the only ingredient, but the Walmart listing show it contains Sodium ferrocyanide.
My own safety concerns aside (this stuff literally degrades into (a small, but not insignificant amount of) deadly hydrogen cyanide gas in your stomach), it is made purely of mined and petro-derived chemicals. No organic production method is used these days.
So aye, it seems the 'non-GMO' is in fact meaningless in this case.
It's just strong evidence that 24/7 footage of most streets is clearly widely available. Doorbell cameras have become effective universal surveillance that effectively anyone can view.
I appreciate we can agree on the NATO wrongdoings, that's cool, thank you.
I'm not saying Russia never tortured or cremated anybody. Every party to this conflict has done that in the droves. But it's disingenuous to imply that peace under Russia means exceptional mass torture and death squads. "Peace" before Russia invaded was 8 years of civil war where Ukraine killed its own civilians with artillery every day.
Elections under the Ukrainian boot are no good either. Democratic parties were (and are) frequently made illegal on spurious grounds, corruption is rife, heck, the elected president got ruddy coup'd not that long ago. We certainly hear of more publicised political killings in Russia than in the west, what the truth is I don't know, but I think the chasm in difference of democratic 'quality' is a lot less than we care to tell ourselves.
Don't you understand we have to reach across the aisle to achieve progress? Even if doing that means we're actually regressing. Also even though the Good Guy team is in power the problem is that they're not in power enough to do anything so the only choice is to go rightwards
I don't see NATO wading into Ukraine wanting to torture and kill people.
NATO waded into Afghanistan and Iraq and killed two million civilians. NATO is funding and participating in an ongoing genocide. They've killed many, many more. Guantanamo Bay is an illegal torture facility, there are undoubtedly hundreds more we haven't heard of. The downfall of its hegemony would see the lives of millions of people saved globally.
Russian peace means russian torture chambers and mobile crematoriums for Ukranian opposition. Followed by generations of autocracy.
What makes you say that? You must understand that's a cartoonishly unreal accusation, right? Yeah, Russian democracy sucks, but not meaningfully moreso than Ukrainian or most Western democracies.
Fighting for the re-conquering and oppression of the eastern half of Ukraine (i.e. DPR and LPR), oppressing Russophones and continuing to explicitly deny the regions a right to self-determination. Zelenskyy already admitted they would not vote to stay part of Ukraine given the chance. That will not be a happy outcome for a lot of people either.
Interesting, I frequently heard as a UK child that "you shouldn't like Che Guevara because he killed people for being gay". Sounds like that myth may literally have originated as official disinformation propaganda.
Nobody here thinks Putin is a communist, he's a capitalist bastard, but he is the lesser evil opposing the even bigger imperialist entity known as NATO.
How is it "good news" that the Ukrainian war will keep being supplied and enable people to keep dying pointlessly for a long time yet?
The only real '"good" development here would be one that sees immediate and serious peace negotiations; instead of throwing Ukrainians into a blender for the sake of global posturing while shouting "Putler".
Socialists are just jealous of rich people unless they have money in which case they're hypocrites
The next election is already the most 15th most important one in our lifetimes in a row and it's still 2.5 years away. It's been a couple hundred years of vote blue no matter who but any day now we'll be allowed to vote for our real choice of party right?
