Great, now consulting a search engine on questions about vim the text editor will yield equally awkward results as consulting a search engine on matters concerning latex the typesetting system.

To me it sounded like tax dodging and corruption. Could have fooled me, sneaky bugger.
I bet that book also unironically mentioned the Invisible Hand of the Market™
The copyright industry is pretty much a legal protection racket. Nothing is sacred to them. In Germany they have been suing Kindergartens over singing old childrens’ songs with the children.
At least here, a good chunk of that money does indeed fund other cultural endeavors.
Cultural endeavors is a very polite way to put it. A large chunk of it goes to only a handful of big performers in the music industry, the small ones who would actually need money get very little.
Victory for the farmers, or victory for the pesticide industry?
In some places the food and agricultural supplies industry is running the farmers’ lobby groups and is pretty much lobbying against the actual farmers in order to improve their own ability to exploit them.
The trickle down propaganda is a western world problem, because that’s where the ideology of trickle down originated from and therefore has been most prevalent.
Why no canonisation of internal organs and bodily functions? Holy shit I’d love to have something like that.
There is one more choice that could easily improve everyone’s standard of living. Tax the rich. Which isn’t realistic because politicians across all large parties are in the rich people’s pockets and, on top of that, the rich own the media, so they can manipulate public opinion. Not that they would have to do much manipulating, this is a western world problem, everyone has been fed trickle down bullshit propaganda for decades.
It is a British thing in some way, because the UK chose to become a 3rd country.
They have little choice, as having rigorous border controls at your side of your border with the EU is pretty much part of being a 3rd country. If the UK wanted this to go away, they could simply become a signatory to the Schengen Agreement. I guess this one simple step is somewhat unpalatable to the Brexiters currently ruling the UK, because free movement goes both ways.
What even is “higher quality” and “lower quality” in meat?
Low quality is typically achieved by industrialised farming with the goal of raising the animals as quickly as possible, the criterion for “ready for slaughter” being just the weight. This leads to meat which contains a large amount of water, which will come out the moment you cook it, leaving you with a whole lot less meat once you’re done. Taste wise it tends to be underwhelming, too. Low quality pork from pigs fed with a disproportionate amount of fishmeal can even have a distinctly fishy taste.
Your employer denouncing fascism shouldn’t be any more concering than your employer telling you not to assault your coworkers.
That’s a good analogy. Both for what this vile ideology constitutes, and for the state of a society in which it has become necessary for employers to tell their employees not to assault their coworkers.
afd-blue
Are you sure the AfD is blue? I rather think they are good old Nazi brown.
No matter which color you paint a turd, it will stay a stinking brown turd underneath.
Too bad the TARDIS’ Chameleon Circuit is malfunctioning, the best known disguise against AI controlled security robots is a cardboard box, how well an old police box would work hasn’t been tried yet.
I envision this as an army of Dalek like contraptions following around site workers and harrassing them with their paint ball guns.
I guess you’re referring to this
I wouldn’t be surprised if that confidential document outlining the sanctions was “accidentally” “leaked” on purpose to increase the pressure on him.
I’m curious how they managed to persuade him. I hope it’s not by releasing of blocked funds so he can keep lining his pockets.
Unfortunately, it’s pretty difficult to do one without the other. Especially if the profiteers are capable of making big donations to political parties.
