Nah buddy, we all went to school, and it’s abundantly clear that in modern English, an animal is part of the Kingdom Animalia.
So, the only people (in the English speaking world) who don’t think of insects or fish an animals, either are of a much, much older generation, or didn’t do very well in school.
Most fucking 6-year-olds, in Australia at least, would be able to answer yes to “is a fish an animal?”.
Your “left wing” democrats are further right wing than our mainstream conservative party coalition. (The Liberals, and probably the Nationals too, to be honest)
And that’s with an extremely right-wing owned press (Murdoch & Nine Fairfax, Australia).
Let that sink in.
And please, for the love of God, actually riot. I don’t enjoy the notion of being under the thumb of the US with the fuckwits at the helm.
It was bad enough with vaugely competent imperialists in charge.
The No Kings marches are piss-weak given people are ALREADY DYING and more will die because of the Dems capitulation.
I’m not a revolutionary, but I damned well would be in your country.
Seriously, and kind regards from the provinces.

If it makes you feel better, this may be a mistranslation from German where saying “eine Software” is appropriate.
I’m sorry, but the rules for how your government works are so confusing.
And requiring budget bills to pass every year or you entire government shuts down is a bug most other democracies patched out last century. (You just make everything roll over by default if you can’t pass a budget). The US Government seems to be constantly in shut down. It’s kinda dumb folks, it doesn’t need to be this way.
I could have sworn I heard that the 100 person US senate only needs 51 members to pass a bill, but I vaguely heard they don’t want to do that because it overrides the option to filibuster?
What???
Very lost over here
I think this is just what the average American looks like these days.
But yeah, they certainly would not have been part of the Master Race ideal of the Nazis.
From the outside, I really hope the tide turns. The only good Nazi is a dead one.
Thanks for filling me in :)
Ooooh. Thanks friendo.
Not sure being any age makes some of those messages remotely acceptable (I’m not enough in the loop to know much about it, other than a couple of things that were said).
I have never understood the appeal of marvel universe movies. It just always came across as bad world building.
The whole reason super heroes with secret identities works is they are unique, and not a fundamental change to society.
Having a world that’s basically the same, with truck loads of super heroes makes no sense at all.
I have seen only a handful of these movies.
This is the real answer. Really, really gross, just not necessarily illegal.
Age of consent varies. Example in Victoria Australia is it’s within 2 years until 16, anyone from 16 as long as they’re not your teacher or someone else with authority, and then 18 anyone older than 16.
Prevents stupid shit like I’ve heard from the US where an 18 year old gets booked because the parents don’t like that their 17 year old is having sex…
Don’t look up the age of consent in China, they’ve really dropped the ball on that one 👀
I’m a big defender of China when the “China Bad” crowd comes out, but this graph is meaningless beyond what people’s perceptions are.
Real trade unions are banned. All must be part of the party, workers rights are routinely not enforced, and given the lattitude the government has to act, there isn’t really much of an excuse.
The CCP enjoy massive support, though, this is undeniable. The reasons for this support is debatable and vary from person to person.
I for one, very much enjoy when the Chinese government does things in line with my socialist ideals. But let’s not pretend like they’re actually keeping the capitalists in check. There are many, many billionaires in China, something that ought not be possible under an actual socialist country.
It doesn’t take a genius to look at their system of voting to quickly conclude that you don’t really have a say, the People’s Congress functions as a rubber stamp for what the inner party has already decided.
Again, my opinions aside, people in China generally are supportive of the government at this present time.
I feel like this is shifting the focus to imperialism, where the US is overwhelmingly and undeniably worse.
However, domestically, if you wanna pretend that someone as a random citizen, has any chance of receiving political representation in China, well you enjoy your fantasy.
The US and China are both deeply undemocratic places. I’m saying this as someone from neither country.
Anyone who’s actually been to China would know this. It is authoritarian. It’s not even something viewed as bad by most people in China. It’s just the way things are there.
There is pretty strong support for the government there, albeit that could be argued as product of censorship, repression and also genuine support. Many see the CCP as having done a lot of good things which they are grateful for, which in addition to the bad things, in fairness, they have done.
I’m getting kinda tired of some leftists knee jerking “China Good”, just as much as I’m getting kinda tired of the “China Bad” crowd, when the truth is neither wholly good nor wholly bad.
We can be leftists and not have a hard-on for any country claiming to be socialist, you know
I bring a portable screen from home, bringing me to a total of 4 with the laptop screen.
But I just like lots of monitors
WHO IS USING AI TO RESPOND TO EMAILS? Like, by the time to “craft” the ultimate response, you could have just written the email.
This may be my bias as an engineer (not software, but chemical), there’s not really much faffing about in an email. You just politely respond, or politely make a query. It’s not very long, typically, and even if it is, an LLM isn’t gonna help you.
You don’t have to sugar coat anything unless there’s some fuck up you’re trying to soften. You just go “Hi xyz, could you please clarify when the design temperature is changing here?”.
Wtf is there you can use an LLM for in an email?
I have only used it for software troubleshooting, as it’s quite nifty there, even if it’s information is out of date, it gets versions confused, etc, still gets me out of a bind or spits out random ideas to try.
But emails? Those short form messages, just barely longer than texts?
Are we actually serious? It’s not a report
In addition, cooperation with traffic police has intensified and more traffic cameras and automated enforcement systems have been introduced.
Man, if I had a dollar for everytime I’ve read someone from Australia write online: “they’re just revenue raising!!!” I’d be rich.
We’re not as brain-dead as the Americans with cars, but still not great.
They mean not guaranteed the same way by law.
Practice of course is a different matter
If they’re making profit, how in the world can they possibly think it’s charity?
Top comment is about how Chinese censorship is not overt, but behind the scenes to stop your speech from spreading. It’s definitely censorship, but no one is going to arrest you for criticising the government online (to a point), they’ll just stop you from reaching others with your message.
I’m just saying that there definitely is censorship, just not what some “China Bad” people imagine.
My comment was in opposition to the “China Good” crowd who also pretend like everything bad said about China is not true.
Reality is inbetween, in my opinion. It’s a country with good and bad points.
@[email protected] thanks for the assist. This is indeed what I meant.
