> Can you even imagine that today?

Try to give in UK an opinion regarding the State of Israel not matching the Pro-Israel lobyy diktat and you will find yourself in trouble. Ask Jackie Walker.

Indeed.

> It’s not.

It is.

> Children are seen as burdensome

Children are burdensome full stop. They eat my money, which hurts me more than if they chewed on the furniture.

> Oh, and they’re humans.

Yes, they are. The waste of resources and pollution they imply is massive compared to dogs. But why caring about the environment, there's a lot of everything for everyone laying around, isn't it.

> non-human animal is slotting itself

He hasn't. He roams around freely.

> You’re choosing to allow a very dirty animal

Yes it's my choice and it gets as dirty as my kid does. Guess what, they're animals. Did you notice already? They're animals like you.

Yeah, I wonder what kind of back pain is that. On a dutchie your weight goes right onto your lower back (just like when sitting down), and it's the lower back what you use for your pedal strokes. Not great for extended periods of time.

On a trekking bike your weight is more distributed, since your torso is sort of laying down.

I guess it boils down to how comfortable you are with hypocrisy and double standards.

> It wasn't a picture of efficiency when the state ran it.

Privatisation didn't deliver what it promised.

Given the current environmental situation, that sounds like a good reason to dismantle the entire industry.

"As a centrist/apolitical"

Let's not forget that the radical center is a thing.

It's not that outrageous, it's not centuries, but yes, it's racist. A "white only" performance would have triggered outrage and comparisions with those "centuries" (whatever that means) of racism

Based on this bit the commenter's response, take a wild guess:

"with a possible exception for WW2"

>How is that 'the best'.

Hence the quotes wrapping sentence.

This might be worth checking: https://spacedesk.net/

"Here's what happens next"

I have a hard time understanding the "Adam curtis => conspiracy theories" trope. Everything he talks about is fairly well documented and easy to find in the open.

What do you mean by "normal users"?

For my parents it's simpler to go with OSX.

For working on print, Inkscape and Gimp pale in comparision with adobe's suite. Not to mention sharing files with the "de facto market standards" world .

For working on audiovisuals, no cigar.

For working on development, well, none of my external hardware was supported (my last experience was Ubuntu 18+) but ok, the IDE worked.

In any case, going to the original question: normal user who?

The short term benefit for the individual should always be regarded as more important than the medium term benefit for the community, which is essentially no one.

Technically yes but no. The source products are not great and the implementations vary much for the worse.

》London is shoulder to shoulder with Naples as the food capitals ^ yeah... <insert expletive here>

Policing remarks detract much more the conversation that a bunch of unlinked resources, which you can google anyway.

I hope the number of available hospital beds in the UK matches their statistics model.

About a couple of weeks, twenty days max.

So true. I love to be misled and click on links editorialised with low effort puns.

I wish companies could only focus on maximizing shareholder value while paying the taxes for the public infrastructures they rely on, such as law, transport, or education.

'“Americans don’t know” is just wrong.'

Not so much. Sounds to me that, if you consider your family american, by your description they sound more like "european immigrants with the paperwork done".

umm... well.. not exclusive, sure, but the title of the article is quite explicit:

"The Lonely Burden of Today’s Teenage Girls"

Girls. It says girls. Ctrl/Cmd-f "boy": 0 matches

It's an article about girls.

"means of drawing our attentions away from the things we really should be invested in"

Lifestyle contents you find online or tv do exactly the same. Having gardening or cartoons as a hobby has nothing to do with the infantilisation of society. Not taking responsability for one's own actions is where the infantilisation lies at.

It's not a "source of information" but a "specific example": the robotech RPG manuals (or at least some of them 90's editions, not the main one but the companions) had an appendix where they delved into the differencies between the US and Japanese translations. Looks like not just technical terms, but some plot lines diverted fairly from the original

It doesn't need to be Amazon: had such mistake been made by a small law-abiding worker-rights-observant webshop, people would still find moral arguments to justify "it's their right".

I despise Amazon as the next man, and would have loved to take advantage of the mistake; but, on double standards, this subthread is king.

You pretty much forgot fatuity and territorial pissing.

Well, agreed, in last instance, the letter was responsible, but it wouldn't have been written if the authors were not concerned about the autrian boi misdemeanors.

>Do you know who motivated the US to take on the Manhattan Project?

Perhaps it was more like an austrian boi looking for mehr lebensraum, but who am I to say.
