Now I need to know which one is cheaper! Please tell us your tricks.

You can read about the context of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell on Wikipedia.

Or the article itself also explains why the other commentator wrote that ;)

Correct on the first part, I don’t know if he did it for other companies as well.

Just a small correction: Horus is not the god of death, but the god of ruling, war and the sky. The role of god of death fits better to Anubis or Osiris, depending on how you interpret the role.

The source for this picture is from Vermis, a guide book for a fictional video game that doesn’t exist. It is interesting and full of atmosphere.

No they didn’t?

If I’m not getting whooshed from you playing the act:

The joke is that everything in the meme is already in the established TES canon. But capital G Gamers™ (which I hate that those assholes made that word negative), being media illiterate and being “anti woke”, often don’t see what their loved games contain, even if they complain about those things.

… Please read my original comment again carefully. I said nowhere that a dictatorship is better at governing. I said that Switzerland is rich because of their companies being capitalistic assholes that would or better ARE right now fucking up the planet and the rest of humanity. You can read on Wikipedia about Nestle, the Nazi gold and tax haven, the Russian influence, etc. That is how Switzerland got really rich, not due to their direct democracy (which I find awesome).

You could argue that there is a small connection between both, since the neutrality of Switzerland was part of why so many companies and banks managed to get big.

You are muddling two different concepts in your Switzerland argument. You are probably referring to the fact, that Switzerland has a direct democracy for certain political decisions in addition to having a parliament. But that is not why it’s a rich country. That’s because of their big companies who are by no means anything else but die hard capitalistic and self serving. You might know some of them for their evil deeds, for example Nestlé.

I mean… have you heard about the attack on Sender Gleiwitz?

False flag is a true and tested tradition for fascists

The question wasn’t about the efficacy of dogs but about the “only respond to handler” part and you didn’t provide a source for that.

Edit: another comment provided a study for that.

I know what you mean, but I still find it wrong to write future when it is literally happening already now.

I never considered it, but you are perfectly right. Prometheus was the first pirate and anti copyright activist! That makes me like him even more.

Both from Germany:

I remember that in my high school time many in my year went to plasma donation as often as it was allowed to collect the compensation. So while you are right that is legally never called payment, people with a need for cash for sure sell their plasma for money.

Oh and in the public sector there is or at least was in the past also the possibility for donating blood and you get the 2 hours or so for that paid as normal. So the government donated the money for a good course.

They didn’t say that, but the other commenter still speaks about a point that also caught my eye:

It doesn’t matter if donating blood or plasma is able to be longer stored. When you need one of them, you can’t substitute with the other. So the medical area still needs both. So you still need people donating both. If a medical institution is telling me they only collect plasma, I would question their motives, because both are needed for helping people.

Maybe the donating place just gave the short explanation and they meant, that for blood donations there are other better places, but it could also mean, they don’t earn enough money with that. And THAT is I think what the other commenter meant with their admittedly short comment.

Or you can use the billions you invest in that and invest it instead in renewables and batteries. Because that is cheaper per MWh

Arrested is such a weak word here. Somebody is arrested for breaking a law. Those were just rounded up and imprisoned for being Palestinian. And if that is a crime, that in itself tells more about the jailer than the jailee.

It’s not automatic everywhere! I’m pretty sure deciding where the money from the budget goes is the biggest decision the current government can take for shaping the country. But in other countries this is mostly passed by Parliament, where the government has the majority by design most of the time (that’s why they are the ruling party or coalition). On the USA, the Congress and Senate thing is responsible for the deadlock.

That’s also the part I’m glad about. Not to put the Nazis on a pedestal or anything, but propaganda was something they took serious. Now it seems more like the right accidentally hits the notes their followers want to hear.

Soviet Russia never really said it was communist, neither did the other east European states. They said they had socialism and communism was the goal to reach in the future.

2020 there were at least 247 emu-adjacent birds (nandu/rhea), after some intervention. The highest counted was 2018 with 566.
