The usual distinguishing factor is choices vs innate. If they’ve decided to make “cheap plastic surgery that already is outdated from cheap plastic surgery trends” their identity, that is their choice.

They both look like they’ve had a lot of gender-affirming care.

You haven’t posted two interviews. You’ve posted two screenshots, and made vague contentions that they indicate some kind of conspiracy.

The first rule of this community is “Please only post links to actual news sources”. When are you going yo do this?

English could be my 10th language and I think I’d be more “transparent” than you still.

Why are you posting memes to a news community, again?

(Would you like me to write in Ukrainian if you read it better?)

What’s a debatebro?

Well, did you see the only question in my last comment? I know you don’t like answering questions, but if you’re going to ask what needs explaining, I’m fairly sure you’re familiar with what, when, how, who and why.

If “fishing” means “trying to get someone to explain why he’s posting memes to a news community, again”… yes.

I’m sure I’m being very transparent, Yogthos. Why would I be opaque or obtuse? Life’s too short to spend a long time with some hidden agenda. For example, I’m sure if you were clearer about what you think is the direct cause and effect relationship between CNN interviewing or not a foreign leader and the decline of western civilisation, while I might not understand it, perhaps superior intellects might. As it stands, we don’t know, because you haven’t tried. You’ve just linked to a meme.

What argument? I asked you a question that you ignored. Thanks to getting to it eventually, and for answering the obvious followup that indeed you do believe this was orchestrated by “The West” (CNN). It’s really shed light on your reason for posting this as it didn’t seem to fit with last week’s theme of how The West is in decline and America was no longer relevant on the world stage.

What’s it called again when a worker steps in to take the place of a worker who has refused to do something on principle because of their rights or conditions?

Just so we’re clear, you didn’t answer the question. Should different individuals have a choice about whether or not to wear a headscarf?

Or is the answer that you instead believe that the choice wasn’t the interviewers but instead directed by, uh, “The West”?

Are you against headscarfs as a personal choice, Yogthos?

You can disable the built-in apps.

They can’t be removed as pre-installed apps are part of the OS image. It’s a bit like the immutable distros now popular in Linux. Any update to the OS would just re-add them anyway.

These apps aren’t exactly huge in disk size so disabling them is safe and effective. It will reduce battery and memory usage if you would ordinarily have them running in the background for some reason.

Hello Keir, can we borrow Northern Ireland for a bit? Very quick. Should only take a few days

In my country you’re not allowed to have them on public roads. Because they do pretty much nothing additional to protect your life (only your property), while obliterating others.

Yes then people take them on or off if they want to take an agricultural/industrial vehicle on public roads.

Do you hold it in front of your face?

Why does that person have a bull bar on their truck in a garage?

The infobox from Wikipedia is the source for all but the Irish elections and American elections, neither of which are finished counting (although Ireland’s was only this weekend…). It really isn’t that much work to type “election turnout (country)” into Google and click the first result. I’m not writing a dissertation, so I’m afraid that will have to do you.

“Couldn’t be bothered” is an extreme oversimplification of the matter, but regardless, most people are voting, and when higher than usual numbers do vote - as in America - it hasn’t meant defeat for the right wing.

Turnout in the UK this year was 59.7%. Ireland’s 60%, Japan 54%, France 63%, South Africa 59%, Mexico 61%. Indonesia 82%. India 65%. Sri Lanka 79%. America’s around 65%.

In 2022 Italy had 63%, Brazil 79%, Australia 92%.

In 2021, Germany’s was 76%.

What does “most of the world isn’t voting at all” mean?

That’s what I meant about Kotaku’s misrepresentation. Read the paragraph you didn’t quote, and they are saying they believe the guy was using multiple accounts. That’s what they mean by “these identities”, which news which isn’t a glorified gossip rag have been pretty clear on.
