    Trump's order to "protect" voting could disenfranchise millions.

  • Wow, thank you for the detailed response!

    That final article isn't quite relevant though and doesn't exactly instill confidence when it took 2 years and 108,000 searches (180 per day) before anything was done...

    I'm glad to hear there's supposed to be some form of accountability, and checks and balances but we've seen throughout history that those sorts of checks are always open to abuse or intentionally ignored when it's convenient for the powers that be. You may have a benevolent police force just now but that doesn't guarantee anything in the future.

    Mandatory government ID on your person at all times is still dystopian.

  • At all times? Even when pished at 3am stumbling home? That sounds rather dystopian and I say that living in the country with the most CCTV in the world.

  • Investigators say South Korean president’s bodyguard asked ChatGPT about ‘martial law’ hours before coup

  • The head of the security service isn't just a meathead bit of heavy muscle there to jump in front of a bullet.

    Martial law also isn't some obscure policy, it's an internationally understood term that replaces the democratic civilian parliament with military rule.

    This is definitely something someone in his position should be very aware of and should be willing to do something about.

    Calls grow in Serbia for investigation into claims ‘sound cannon’ targeted protesters

  • It's only crazy effective if it's not expected. If it becomes the norm then everyone just starts wearing foam ear plugs, maybe ear defenders if they're fancy.

    It's easily defeated and incites the wrath of the populace. It's dumb to use, especially during a moment of silence for the dead.

  • To those downvoting blakenong, have a read of this.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_February_2003_anti-war_protests

    The day was described by social movement researchers as "the largest protest event in human history".[1]

    I don't want to burst the feeling of optimism, but unless there's consequences, a general strike, riots, whatever, I don't know, something, nothing will happen.

    If everyone goes back to their day job after standing out in the cold for a day or two and then pats themselves on the back saying "yeah, we showed them", then nothing changes.

    Protest is dead. The powers that be don't care if there's a million people shouting and screaming. Unless they suffer consequences, nothing will change.

  • Danish super market who started marking EU products receives heat for selling American products with it

    Jump

  • There are legal requirements for knowing the origin of foodstuffs in most liberal progressive democracies, I'm sure Denmark will have some. If a supermarket cannot discern where their foods are coming from I think there's far bigger issues at play than European star labels.

    What you're suggesting is that large corporations are so incompetent, and being incompetent is profitable, that they should be left alone to continue to be incompetent. So that they can profit and we, the consumer, are told to jog on.

    If they cannot confidently say an item is European then they shouldn't label it as European.

    If they cannot confidently say which continent an item they expect you to eat comes from, then they shouldn't be operating.

  • Danish super market who started marking EU products receives heat for selling American products with it

    Jump

  • If the idea is to avoid American, and support European. Purchasing from a middleman European company is hardly supporting European.

    Most of the money ultimately still ends up in American hands, just the tiny bit of profit added on during the final sale to the consumer remains European. Everything else goes back to America.

    If I sold you a packet of bananas, and told you they're Irish bananas because it's an Irish company selling them, you'd call me a liar because obviously Ireland doesn't have the climate to grow bananas. It's the same principle.

    If it's not European, don't put the star on, it's pretty simple.

  • Can you give me some tips about your niche hobby?

    1. Make a list of necessary gear before your trip, then check it off the list as you pack. This helps ensure you don't forget anything. You can even categorise the list, so you can easily see what kit is in which pockets/dry bags.
    2. Dry bags are incredibly useful if you hike in wet weather or ford rivers. Different coloured bags can help with categorisation, for example, you know the yellow bag is fresh clothes, the green bag is camp kit, the blue bag is water filter and chlorine tablets, the red bag is electronics, etc. This makes finding stuff a piece of piss and saves rummaging.

  • America is racist.

    Not every American, obviously.

    But as a nation, institutionally, America is racist.

    Some times it's more so than others, but it always is, to varying degrees throughout its history.

  • Depends on the country, in Scotland it's free.

    Well... Free at the point of use. We pay what's called council tax which is a tax on the value of your home (even if renting) to cover services like street lamps, sewage, water, libraries, rubbish removal, etc.

    But, it's free to use as much as you want. I could leave my taps on all day if I wanted, there's no meter, no charge per litre. So considering I have to pay that tax just to live, water is essentially free.

    Obviously some countries have more access to water than others, but those without the worry of drought or rationing should definitely have free at the point of use water.

    Fuck private interests, fuck profiteering, water is essential for all life, socialist public controlled water for all is the way to go. You only have to look at the water scandals of England to see what private control of water gets you.
