For entry to private events? I doubt it, it’s not just searching people randomly on the street.

He’ll be a grovelling serf, and probably not end up in the actual firing line

Holy racist Freud lol

Camelcase in python, ew, a fundamentalist would do that

Just start wearing a “make fascists afraid again” hat and let him do the escalation (or something more subtle if necessary in your workplace)

Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.

Your approach and understand seems realistic and solid. Go with any of the beginner-friendly distributions, as people have said, Mint or Ubuntu are good choices, because most of the support information online is available for them. Because Mint is based on Ubuntu, instructions for Ubuntu will almost always work on it too.

The Linux mint installation guide is IMO very clear and easy to follow, so I’d start there, and for the first time you can just go up until the “the live session” section and play around with it before deciding to install. The guide for Ubuntu is very similar.

Good luck and have fun!

Another Brexit success story

the increasing commercialisation pressure leading to the dismantling of cold-war era institutions

Another thing achieved at gunpoint (or rather nuclear-warhead-point).

Also, it’s not prejudicial if I’m judging you on your actual words.

The point I’m making is that it’s naïve to think that legal mandate has so much less a power to influence people than social pressure, ideology, marketing etc.

That’s why Coca-Cola are more powerful than most governments.

lmao.

What an embarrassing thing to say. I’m sure you think you’re very smart, using a diaeresis, but stop and think about what you’re actually saying for a minute longer.

If it doesn’t become clear to you, no, social pressure is not stronger than physical coercion with the threat of death from a police force nearly indistinguishable from the army.

And the thing about Coca-Cola is a complete non sequitur. It’s possible that they are more powerful than many governments because they have unfathomable amounts of money and most countries are tiny with only a few million poor inhabitants, but it’s got nothing to do with marketing.

Depends on the parents

Ok, and also the most extreme islamophobes (India, Sweden, Czechie, Hungary, …). But the division on this map is notably different from the usual one.

What do you mean how would that work? Polar bear habitat is declared national park, inhabitants get assistance moving elsewhere. Extremely expensive? Yes. Complicated? Not really.

I get that people aren’t gonna go for this, but I stand by the position that it would be the ethically correct thing, and we should be honest with ourselves that we are compromising on that.

I wouldn’t say it’s sufficient justification, to be honest. I guess it depends on the population to some degree. But since we caused this problem, I would say moving even a whole village out of polar bear habitat is worth the cost of shooting even one, and we can suppose there will be more to come. I think we have a responsibility to get the hell out of their space, even at a huge cost to us.

Nah it’s you that is not thinking. It is specifically the USA which is the problem. You can see that this map is, unusually, not “always the same map”, with many right wing neoliberal countries (France, Japan, New Zealand, …) voting for this. It’s not at all about the internal political alignment of the countries and just about who is a US proxy.

Ukraine may have a terrible, far right regime, but this vote doesn’t really say much about it, given that their survival currently depends on not pissing off the USA in any way. If their major military support was coming from a country that wanted it the other way around it would’ve been that way, there’s no principle behind it.

There’s no such thing

That happened the other way around
