It appears that while content federates across instances, posts and their associated comment threads are tied to that instance. If the instance shuts down, that post is gone.

What content is there besides posts? Isn’t federated content not only ‘visible’ from other instancez but also copied to there? Maybe you don’t know either, i’m just figuring stuff out along the way.

In the Netherlands there is also a class-action lawsuit coming up, guess there is roughly the same amount of android users here. Maybe a bit more. Will be interesting to see how much lower that amount will be.

Only $47,000 lol

I once heard a theory we should not tax incoming money but outgoing money. So with income tax it is not that you pay over what you receive but your employer pays tax before you get it (like you pay vat when you buy something). I am no expert but it sounded like it would really work on big corps and rich people because the bank would have to pay taxes when they pay you interest, the broker would pay tax when they pay your profits on shares. Can’t imagine it be easy to overhaul the whole system, but it would take away the ‘responsibility’ of paying taxes from the person who owns the money and puts this responsibility on the person who’s parting from the money.

“It’d be like if a woman’s boobs suddenly got huge from May to August,” she added.

“Stick a guy in an ice cold lake in the middle of summer and his penis will shrink to winter size,” he said.

She. Did. Not. Ask. You. To. Fix. It. 📢

But thanks for the riddle, I liked it.

No it’s just the jeakini-bottom

“To achieve this, it is necessary to foster international cooperation in multilateral forums to promote and facilitate the implementation of evidence-based reforms and ongoing experiences regarding the taxation of large fortunes in different countries.” [the Spanish government explained.]

Really glad they’ve decided to counter the ability of the grotesquely rich to just move to another country. If we want them to pay taxes, we need international cooperation.

Where are you seeing owls being enslaved in the article?

To be honest I only read the title, bumped into a paywall when i clicked the link and couldn’t be bothered to put more effort in it.

And even if they were being enslaved, that’s better than minefields of (artificial) poison in our (natural) environment.

I do agree on this.

Even if you’re a vegan, there’s enslaved hordes of plants behind your survival.

But not on this, although i am not gonna argue why slave animals is a thing and slave plants is not a thing.

It’s always what’s better.

You’re right, it’s finding the balance - that was the topic of my comment basically.

Did i just read customer feedback? That is some dark capitalism right there, yikes. Demand and supply were not exactly balanced. Oof.

Dead rats is not uplifting news but rats not dying slow deaths by poison is uplifting news, but owls being enslaved to fix human problems is not uplifting but developing a new natural solution to fix an old natural problem is uplifting news. Sos moral error 404 help!

That makes sense, although a bit funny it’s news from their neighbours.

Roya News English brings you the biggest news stories from Jordan, the Arab world and beyond.

I’m confused though, when they write ‘Israeli’ farmers, ‘Israeli’ produce or ‘Israeli’ products it sounds as if they use it to show support for Palestinians as that’s were a lot of ‘isreali’ stuff comes from. But then they are also writing ‘Isreals’ war, which makes me think they use it to for some other reason. Or would they mean it’s not Isreals war, but Netanyahu? Or are they trying to play some kind of neutrality card?

Many people try to make Japan sound perfect, but they have a lot of problems

Japan lacks any law which prohibits racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination.

I am aware, but the difference in people’s view of Japanese people and people from US is astounding.

Agree with you and comment above, I don’t believe there is causation. Two system is surely not helping to make US peaceful.

This part of ‘what your bible says about murder and poor people’ makes it sound like the writer of the response believes it’s causational but i think they were just offended and not trying to make a scientifically sound argument. And i would understand that.

It’s almost racist because of how the first post makes Christianity sound like something superior. As if the Japanese being different in their believe makes them less.

also wouldn’t it make complete sense for Japan to have way less Christians since they were isolated for so long and have their own religious beliefs

Exactly this. Although Japanese rulers haven’t always been very peaceful, their culture is known for being caring and respectful towards others where as Americans are by many people seen as loud and obnoxious (also positive things, but i’m not trying to make a comparison between two cultures as a whole), making this comment about Japanese adoption of Christianity not only come across as ignorant but also very arrogant.

I hope you have more pixels once you reach 70 though

I agree, we dont need more than the rainbow flag. But I feel people can put on it whatever they want. Except their genitals maybe.

I’d watch that
