“Behold, the Atheists nightmare!”

I’m happy to know it is only found up north.

I’ve had an eSIM for years. Zero issues, quite happy with it.

You invented 67? Damn, how’s it feel to have something be globally popular.

Insert Australia-Hungary joke here.

Woman took her own life after $35B tech company cancelled health benefits during mental health leave, parents claim

The headline misses that they fired her after they demanded she return to the office and she begged for a bit more unpaid mental health leave.

MongoDB the company who drives its employees to suicide?

What? There was multiple back and forth discussions. It was an ongoing process for a long time.

Because they didn’t refuse, they took too long. Britain wasn’t taking it seriously, because they assumed they had all the time in the world, so they used the slow boats over planes for communication - after all it’s not like the USSR was going to ally with the Nazi’s or anything. And France naively took a backseat and let England do all the talking because they were still too weak after WW1 to really care, even if they were more keen on the alliance. It all fell apart because the Soviets felt they weren’t really committed and the Allies felt it was too demanding.

Likewise the French had earlier entered into a mutual assistance pact with the Soviets in 1935 , but this failed due to how conditional it was and became largely symbolic of nothing.

There’s a lot to fault Britain and France for in regards to the talks, but to say they refused is in bad faith.

Isn’t it theorised that an elephant/mammoth skull was the inspiration for the cyclops?

And who has long floppy ears?

And are those nipples protruding from the bottom lip possibly tusks?

This must be a drawing of an elephant.

"People will die because of this,”

Aren’t like hundreds of thousands of people expected to die due to the shit Elon did to USAid?

Mate we call it a Beef Gumboot in Australia.

This misses the point that every progressive society needs some number of conservatives (even dogmatic ones) to be asking “but is this a good idea? Does progress here actually benefit people?”

No it doesn’t and that’s not what conservatives are. That’s a right wing talking point myth like “You’ll get more right as you grow up”

Conservatives are reactionaries who want no change. They blindly rage against anything different or new to them, they don’t care about the wider social landscape as is evident by how often they’ll support a leftist ideal once their child is a victim of their rhetoric.

“Progressive” people want change, and they ask themselves is this good all the time. You cannot progress if you don’t review and analysise.

Enjoying a succulent meal.

Half-Life

It’s never happened yet, but any day now the US military is going to become ethical and do the right thing instead of following orders.

The US does not control the Fediverse.

Promote Loops not state run garbage.

Why do you want to promote state owned and not citizen owned social media?

Do you need a big strong government to come tell you what you’re allowed to think?

Tankies would rather push a Chinese state controlled app over a Fediverse replacement ran by real people.
