Hmm I can see why that would be so tempting, and also why it’s so horribly dangerous and unethical. You’d literally have to pick to invest specifically in a country of people you want to fuck over for it to be anything other than turkeys voting for thanksgiving
What do the everyday investors get out of that then?
So if you’ve lost your license because of multiple drunk driving convictions, amazon has a job for you.
A job which technically doesn’t involve driving. It’s the state’s responsibility to rehabilitate or punish drunk drivers into never drunk driving again, right?
But I’ll leave it at that before I run any cover for Amazon.
Is this a satire site? All their stories are about Donald trump and his entourage. All of them. Very outlandish headlines
I don’t really see how violet works as a bit though. A bit specifically has to be funny right? And get “laughter” as a reaction - well, violet is more like “how many people can I trick into believing this dumb objectifying bullshit”
All violet’s posts ever conjured up for me are memories of male redditors pretending to be ladies, posting or responding to sex question threads all the time.
Violet is the same person who did the “Saudi Arabian housewife” larp, right?
(Not trying to be argumentative. It’s an interesting topic and I want to get to the objective truth of the matter)
I think many people don’t enjoy DP as much as they think they might, and I actually entered the comments just to see if anyone else was saying this, but no
To be fair Lemmy was created by communists, and I think it was partially created to have better spaces to discuss political ideas like communism in. But also: i totally agree.
Thank you!
Yes, Reuters has covered it extensively.

Does sound familiar.

Killing tapeworms is murder, but they’re parasites rather than humans so we don’t care.
Got to the airport really stupidly early once and stayed there all night, because I was travelling with two people who also couldn’t drive. One’s dad was going to drive us but injured himself so we took a train over there 8 hours earlier than we would have.
Tl;DR trains make people do long visits at station.
And weirdly there were a lot of other passengers entering the airport at 6AM or sooner and they were having a great time wasting their money on everything.
But also I presume the pizza comes already made and kept warm or something. If not, then some authentic Italian pizzas, the basic topping, softer and chewy ones, can take just 6-12 minutes to cook. People have time to sit down at cafes and restaurants sometimes :). Maybe only the USA has the speedy aeroplane infrastructure you’re used to
He’s probably a LinkedIn poster
Cheeseburger - provides a bunch of protein, fat, some salad and bread; it’s an ultimately balanced meal and one designed for sustain people (e.g through flights or staying up at night/in the morning)
Some of us don’t eat them that often because of our culture, anyway.
It’s definitely what I would get. I always need extra protein packed all together.
Pizza - You just know it’s going to be nice. Need I say more? It’s less about comfort but about safety and not wasting money
Don’t worry about it
In the context of biblical history, I’ve heard that, because of the Alexandrian empire and it’s 3-4 off-shoot kingdoms, Greek was actually the ‘Lingua Franca’ (default language for international communication) throughout the middle east; from before the Romans arrived, to Jesus’s time, to until after the Roman empire split in two for good.
I guess it is hard to supplant an existing Lingua Franca. France today is a good example - they are very defensive of their language, once the Standard Internationale, and so France sees less English speakers proportionally than other European countries such as Spain, Nederland and Germany.
So… The middle East’s dominant languages were Greek and Persian, Greek and Persian, Greek and Persian - then Muhammed shows up with Islam, and they conquer surrounding states. Arabic is spreading. And this is testament to Persia’s linguistic domination, right - Arabic calligraphy comes from the Persian alphabet. That’s bonkers; a group of people, B, subjugated by A, manages to get A to assume their script for all writing.
At that point, the whole(-ish) middle east now had a different alphabet - neither greek nor Roman - to write in. Languages don’t tend to change their script once they’ve settled on one. The only examples I know are Poland, who did it because of catholic church’s influence , and Mongolia, who were forced to by the soviet union; it doesn’t happen naturally. Oh also Turkey, which was again a government mandate.
Certain scripts are better for certain language sounds; I don’t expect Arabic will ever be written in Latin script in general practice. It didn’t spread at first because Greek was already so dominant, then because the catholic church wast spreading into Muslim territories in the middle east, and now because it is not Lingua Franca, languages have settled on the correct scripts, and Christianity isn’t spreading in the middle east, same as usual.
