Before WWII was also very bad

Unfortunately, it’ll just kill their kids

Your point stands, but 2019 was more than five years ago

Merkel famously hated Putin. They worked together, for better or for worse, but she did not personally like him. She has a phobia of dogs and he’s a dog lover, which she would have obviously been fine, but he brought a large dog to one of their meetings after her office had requested otherwise, which she felt was an attempt to intimidate her.

Good management is just good people skills. If you don’t have them, intentionally defanging your speech/correspondence helps prevent blowups. Unfortunately for people working under managers with bad people skills, this doesn’t actually make up for and mostly just highlights their managers’ deficits.

Tl;dr: management speak is intentionally harmless in and of itself, but is an obvious symptom of bad management.

They didn’t fall off the cruise ship, but off of a container ship nearby.

Sixteen containers fell from a cargo ship near the Nab tower lighthouse off Bembridge, Isle of Wight, at around 6pm on Saturday.

The cruise ship is stuck because the container ship needs to recover the containers to protect the environment (and they don’t explicitly say, but moving a cruise ship through the harbor will kick up sediment and might damage the containers).

I mean, ideally they want to stay.

It’s not evenly split, it’s $50/week for each week worked between 2021-2024, up to ~$7,700/worker.

It’s still not enough. Especially because that’s roughly equivalent to 200 minutes of minimum wage pay for NYC.

a “worrying escalation” of the conflict

An attack with no injuries is a worrying escalation of the full blown war in which the other party keeps vaguely (or not so vaguely) threatening nukes?

The world should follow Canada’s lead and nobody should visit from anywhere.

I’m American living in Germany and married to a German. I brought him to meet my family last November, because I suspected trump would win or there would be a more significant version of January 6th. People keep asking when we’re coming back, but why the hell would I endanger my husband like that? It’s simply not safe for anyone right now, but especially for noncitizens.

I miss my family and friends, but they can come visit us. We’ll even help them get started learning German and help with their visas and housing if they want to stay.

The former CIA asset who was just recently granted asylum? Yeah, it’s a false flag.

I used to work in long-tailed litigated liability insurance claims. Think asbestos, lead paint, toxic exposures, etc. Insurance comes into play for defending companies against lawsuits made by people suffering from those exposures. I rationalized it to myself for a year and a half (if we don’t pay for the company’s defense attorneys, we couldn’t pay the claimants their settlements; we’re just following the contract; at this point, the big players are bankrupt, so the claimants are just going after easy targets; etc.), but it makes the world worse and I eventually quit.

I looked at other aspects of the industry, but there really wasn’t a role that I could feel totally comfortable with. At best, I felt like I I worked for the organization which gave earth “adequate notice” for the hyperspace bypass in hitchhikers guide.

I went back to school and now I teach new immigrants the local language. It took a lot of work and I make less money, but holy shit was it worth it.

Both from good omens, I think

He should just use “safe spaces.” Much clearer and surely he’d get the full support of everyone who supports this

I don’t even believe in free will, I can’t talk shit to anyone

They might, but it happens a lot, so it would be a big change. Countries that don’t allow dual citizenship tend to have a lot of former citizens visit, because anyone who marries someone from another country and lives with them there will have an easier time of things if they become a citizen of their new country, but they still have family back home to take care of (and the CCP is invested in keeping former citizens attached to their families, so they can use them as leverage).

That doesn’t mean that Chinese citizens cannot become citizens of other countries, just that they can’t do that and retain their Chinese citizenship. It’s also legal for former Chinese citizens to visit China, you’re not exiled or anything when you give up your citizenship.

Yes, but most large food companies aim for consistency far above and beyond legal requirements to foster brand recognition. That’s why commercially made and canned soups without them exist, they’re just not nearly as widespread.

There’s a restaurant in my town that serves totally different dishes in house, but they also have a vending machine that sells canned jars of soups, curries, and stews; and you can find them in some of the local grocery stores. The ingredients are basically the same as the ones I’d use at home (though probably with a lot more salt and fat), and they’re perfectly safe and legal to sell.

Regarding the first point, this is what he said, emphasis mine:

I want to be clear on where I stand. I believe both Nicolas Maduro and Miguel Diaz-Canel are dictators. Their administrations have stifled free and fair elections, jailed political opponents, and suppressed the free and fair press. And yet, our federal government’s long history of punitive policies toward both countries, including extrajudicial killings of Venezuelans and the continuation of a decades long blockade of Cuba, have only worsened these conditions. Democratic socialism is about dignity, justice and accountability. And above all, it’s about building a democracy that works for working people, not one that preys on them."

It feels misleading to call someone’s statement denouncing the blockade as an effective endorsement of it. Did I miss him saying something else?

Tbh, I would actively authorize this for my next of kin if they wanted for a private pension. Doing it for public funds is fucked though. I would also stipulate that they be safe with the biohazard that is my corpse, because just keeping it in a bag in the living room is stomach turning.
