Yeah, racism in europe is largely stereotypes directed at whole groups that are rooted in truth but grossly overblown, eg “black people just want to commit crime”, “arabs want to install sharia”, “east asians want to eat your dog”, “indians want to outgrow the native population” and other nonsense.

If you ask the huge majority of the people who are saying these things if they interact with people in these groups, they’ll say “yes, but they’re some of the good ones” not realising it’s only a tiny fraction who aren’t, but also accepting that race doesn’t automatically make you anything.

Comparing that to the US where (from what I’m aware of) there’s both “I refuse to even speak to members of xyz race because they’re subhuman” and “xyz race needs all the help they can get because they have such a tough time” it seems so hard for individuals to just live a normal life in the US?

European racism is casual compared to even everyday American racism, even considering the likes of AfD

Us politics isn’t about economics anyway, especially when you’ve got Republicans raising taxes sky high and restricting free trade. It’s about social and cultural issues more than ever these days.

Threats to the US

A lapdog isn’t a threat except to reputation, even if they’re not on your side. Same reason North Korea isn’t on the list of threats.

Even if they have influence, it’s not exactly domestic policy, otherwise you’d have to add the IRA to the list also.

I did some experimenting - I can’t sleep above 67 at most, 65 comfortably.

Anything above 68 is too hot generally indoors and I begin to lose the ability to focus.

I don’t have AC but my house is from the 1860s when people had fires running pretty much nonstop so is designed to keep cool, so even when it’s 80+ outdoors the indoor temperature rarely goes above 70

It’s worth mentioning that Greece at the time was ruled by a foreign power who were more than happy to sell Britain the marbles, they were just planning on grinding them up to make concrete anyway.

It’s little different to if IS or the Taliban had allowed Americans to take significant parts of Palmyra or the Buddhas of Bamiyan before they blew them up - the ruling authority didn’t represent the people, but were still planning on destroying their history. Better to have it safe elsewhere than destroyed.

That said, there’s little reason for the British museum to still be keeping them.

If I’m driving, almost always, the exception being if it’s a highway off ramp I’ll indicate to go into the off ramp lane, then stop indicating as it should be clear.

If I’m cycling then very rarely, as the position in the lane or lane you’re in is far more noticeable than if you’re driving, so I’ll only stick my hand out to indicate if I have to merge into traffic to turn (eg a right turn from a single lane road, or to get into the turn lane to begin with)

The UK manufacturing sector for raw materials and basic products was on the way out anyway due to costs being so low in Asia, so it was more to be able to shut it down and save the government from needing to bail it out while also destroying labour unions while they were at it, hence why the advanced manufacturers (JCB, Rolls Royce, etc.) were largely unaffected

I’ve even seen van gogh paintings get wrongly labeled

That’s way less surprising than an indie artist’s art being wrongly labelled. It’s nothing about the quality, just that van gogh paintings are likely to be very overrepresented in the training dataset

What if it’s a convolution though 🤔

The thumb muscle being the intersection bayern the thumb and palm right?

For me it’s my middle finger but same effect I guess

Although listening it sounds more like the sound is coming as it moves past the knuckle

If it’s Hirevue, I stopped bothering after 5 or so, I’d never got through one and yet managed to get through every single HR phone screen etc.

It depends if it’s AI grading it or not I guess, as AI has no understanding of nuance so will just accept a very narrow range of similar candidates

You could say the same for Palestine and yet a lot of the same people who criticise China and Russia love to praise Palestine…

I think a lot more of it is based on either who is the aggressor or a deep rooted hatred of the west depending on whether or not you’re a tankie

If you can, put things on the walls - you can get cheap paintings from charity shops, posters etc

only if chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/lib returns a nonzero status code right?

That’s why we invented bridges and viaducts, we didn’t want the trains to feel left out

I’m not convinced on this whole “things happening in Austria” malarkey, it sounds very unlikely

On the /s, I somewhat unironically agree with that more than the case of just obtaining citizenship

woe is me, a news source that wants to remain independent of outside interests is taking steps to avoid having to get funded by big businesses or the government who’ll want to set an agenda…

I’d be more concerned about reading something free and not ad-supported (and like it or not, untargeted ads are next to worthless), as the money has to be coming from somewhere
