How did you get friends from space?
The first hearing went well actually, South Africa’s claims were found to have merit.
Israel was ordered to minimise the suffering it’s causing, but obviously Israel has not done so and as long as the US shields them from the UN nothing much else can be done about it.
That it is, but they’re the genocide supporters who think Israel is in the right.
Luckily most of the world doesn’t buy into that disgusting narrative.
The UN has reported on Israels war crimes, this is documented and known factual information.
Smart thinking!
I remember back in the day in my state of Australia we would never shut down for weather and those little metal portables were fucking hell on those 40+ days. Cracking a window open does so little.
Regulatory capture, the taxi’s had lobbied for a permit system, where only a set number of licenses were handed out for taxi vehicles. Uber came into the market and side-stepped the whole thing by saying ‘lol we’re not technically a taxi so we can have as many vehicles as we want’. This is payment for lost profits/damages from the taxi companies little legal scam falling out from under them.
It’s entirely bullshit, but that’s the reasoning for it all.
Right, ignore the entirely obvious political ramifications of why China wants these people in positions of power and pretend it’s because good hearted party officials think they need protection.
It’s not a concern, it’s pointing out hypocrisy. China wants its foreign nationals in power elsewhere, but doesn’t want foreigners in its own country and makes it extremely rare for them to get citizenship let alone participate in decision making.
In Australia I find they’re great. Super cheap, can get a ride in >10 minutes, clean, drivers are friendly. Only real complaint is a bit of the talking on devices, but that’s rare.
Cabs had lobbied a highly profitable monopoly here, so any competition was a loss from their self assumed god given right to everyone’s wallet.
Fuck off.
Uber sucks but the Taxi industry were far worse. They lobbied for limited numbers of licenses that cost ridiculous amounts of money, so they kept supply low while offering the worst services possible. You’d be lucky to get one unless it was the most expensive rip-off of a trip they could get out of you, forget going a ‘short’ distance.
Those arseholes deserved to lose every bit of business that they did as soon as an alternative rocked up, disgusting to see them profit off their decades of horrible public opinion.
Cabs here fucking suck, Uber forced them to up their game a bit but they’re still the worse option.
My memory of cabs is ridiculously expensive, cancelling trips or never showing up, driving dangerously, racially discriminating, sexual assaults, refusing rides if not far enough, talking on the phone or radio while driving, reeking of cigarettes, etc.
Fuck Israel. They’re all complicit in the genocide.
Very alarming that the Chinese government is encouraging Chinese immigrants to get positions of power in foreign countries.
I wonder how many non-Chinese are in the CCP or running large Chinese firms?
Pirate it, don’t give the thieving publishers a cent.
It’s the Welsh equative form of Araf, which means slow.
If you want your shitty 8chan-esque absolute free speech platform go for it and make your own, just don’t moan that others don’t agree to such nonsense.
Most of us want to avoid the shit instances entirely and we certainly don’t bloody want to have to go around manually investigating and blocking the CSAM or other horrific ones.
But hey, you go do . . . somewhere far away from the rest of us.
Terraria is another example of the handful of games that actually provide free continuous content over their lifetime, same goes for Stardew Valley. Fact is that’s the extreme minority of games and when it comes to strategy games, Rimworld and DF are the only ones.
I’d put all these games on the same tiny arse pedestal of good value, and I’m happy paying $20 every few years to support a dev to keep doing what they do.
Attacking them over 99% of the rest of the industry is fucking stupid however.
Might even get uninhabitably hot in some of our life times.
