  • Good morning, please have a thought you probably never had before.

    Jump

  • Who can define what a ravioli is, is a complex sociological and political topic. The statement is only funny because it bulldozes tradition in the name of absurdism. And there's probably some point about capitalism somewhere in there.

    So this involves politics.

  • Company

    Jump

  • Banks are too risk averse, they prefer the devil they know, and they like having a few rich people to point fingers at if the business goes sideways.

    There are a few funds investing in cooperatives, but I've never looked at how they work, and that's not where most of the money is.

  • Company

    Jump

  • Because most businesses need initial capital to scale enough to survive, and too many workers live paycheck to paycheck.

  • nah it's natural

    Jump

  • It seems that the top 5% globally are above the limit. If you live in Western Europe or the US, that's significantly more than half of the population.

  • How to Win a Legal Dispute

    Jump

  • Usually it's about having permanent access to a lawyer to cover your legal ass before you get caught, as that's where the best legal loopholes are, and about what laws were broken. GoFundMe campaigns are usually for laws affecting mostly the poor, which tend to be much harsher and broader than the laws that rich people usually break.

  • He was a shy guy, IMO

    Jump

  • I had never heard about them before. TLDR, the highlights are:

    • Hedge funds
    • Sending data of motel guests to ICE
    • Child labour
    • Deflorestation of the Amazon

    Nice company /s

  • That would be good

    Jump

  • AFAIK the number of fatal incidents involving kinder eggs is in the single digits in the last 35 years and they were caused by the toys inside of the egg not the plastic egg itself.

  • Quokkas!

    Jump

  • Jesus fuking upside down Christ!

    Do we need to unleash the emus to cull the Australians population again?

  • OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent casually clicks through “I am not a robot” verification test

    Jump

  • Someone should do a game where you need to guess if someone was said by a Drug Cartel boss or Sam Altman.

  • I'm not a lawyer, but, if this doesn't break anti-circumvention laws everywhere, they need to be rewriten ASAP.

  • Ireland parliament member says high-visibility jackets should be mandatory for all pedestrians

    Jump

  • And the next measure is to tell women to wear chastity belts to stop rapes. /s

  • Zero-hours contracts: Peers accused of ‘trying to block stronger UK workers’ rights’

    Jump

  • said the Lords was “doing the bidding of bad bosses” and ought to “get out of the way” of the plans.

    I think someone didn't notice who the "lords" are yet.

  • Well this explains why I like both.

    Jump

  • Even in TOS the Klingons weren't as flat as orcs are in LOTR.

    Roddenberry always tried to make sure their motivations made them "heroes in their own story", while Tolkien wrote orcs as evil by nature.

  • What's a good country for an Israeli-American to move too?

    Jump

  • France, UK, and Germany have the biggest communities (100k plus). Of this France has the biggest (440k and 2.8% of the population), but at least my perception is that it's also the unsafest country in western Europe for Jewish people right now - I would advice you to reach out to Jewish organisations in Europe to get an accurate picture on this point.

    Hungary comes next, but I wouldn't recommend the country to anyone that self defines as liberal or progressive.

    I think Netherlands and Belgium also have relatively big communities in the big cities.

    I think all European countries have synagogue, but some have pretty small communities.

    Jump

  • In most of Europe, including almost every big city, you can survive with English, and learn the local language after you arrive. It will be a hard blocker if you are looking for teaching position though.

    One thing you don't mention that would be important to figure out which countries would be a good fit for you is how important (or not) is to have access to a thriving Jewish community for you.

  • Off topic

    Jump

  • Hyperrealistic acting also doesn't help. Lots of actors insist on mumbling in a way that makes it hard to understand even if in a cinema.

  • They don't know

    Jump

  • From my experience a disturbing number of Russians have a mayonnaise based diet, so he has competition.

  • YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless"

    Jump

  • In terms of private banks, a basic savings account wouldn't really be a big risk for them nowadays because it's a bare bones account. It doesn't include things like access to credit cards or other forms of credits, or any form of long term investments.

    If anything, banks might even like the idea, because it gives them a way to offload their riskier (and let's be honest less profitable) customers without making society fully collapse.

    If the system is implemented properly it's a win-win for everyone.

    Jump

  • For all other Europeans out there, avoiding this situation is another thing the EU did for us.

    For the Americans, write to your representatives demanding the same rights.

    Excluding people from having a bank account in 2025 is basically condemning them to ostracism even without sending them to concentration camps.
