Do not kill, or through intentional action cause physical harm to another human being, except in defence.
Every human has the right to their own body, thoughts and words, upon which nothing except the above law shall infringe.
Where it does not conflict with previous laws, respect physical property of the public and other individuals - it is not to be destroyed, taken or abused without permission of its holder(s).
Yeah it’d be a similar reaction if Jasmine & Aladdin were recast as northern Europeans. Sure it’s a fantasy tale, but the story is set in a fantasy version of Arabia.
In addition to what @LwL said - It has to do with how testing is done, and that some diseases can’t really be tested for. It is quite expensive, and is generally done on small samples from lots of people mixed together. If it is positive they split the batch and test again (look up binary search).
The lower the incidence rate of diseases, the larger batches can be done. Ditching certain denographics with significantly higher risks for certain diseases can make testing orders of magnitudes cheaper and faster. (Other groups, at least where I live, include people who recently changed partner, recently went abroad, have ever gotten a blood transfusion, have gone through a recent surgery, have recently been sick, etc. etc.)
Accounting for taxes and grid fees, between 0.05€ & 1.2€/kWh depending on the season.
It’s hypocritical, and I don’t like it. With that said, most politicians are hypocrites, which is why I generally dislike politicians.
Happened once a long time ago, incredibly vivid dream and it was quite nice.
Me and a few other drivers were parked by an unmanned gas station (late night near airport pickup that charged per minute from entry) - anyway, an early '00s renault hatchback swings into the station, pulling a U-turn before three unmarked police vehicles with sirens on surround it.
Officers step out and walk over, having a chat with the driver for a bit. Then, the driver steps out and the other passengers start to come out, one after another. After a little bit, there are twelve adults have exited this little hatchback along with a bunch of luggage. Driver is arrested shortly after.
Never seen anything like it before or after.
Most estimates (and all recent ones) put that number around 50 mln, the vast majority of whom died from disease, rather similarly to how the black death from asia killed the majority of europe and the middle east two hundred years prior.
Did it enable colonialism? Yes. Was it meticulously planned? No.
The moment that it’s possible to donate directly towards the development of firefox, there’s roughly 10€/yr with their name on it. As it stands however, Mozilla is not funding FF at all, but rather extracting money from the project.
Simutrans and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
That’s an impressive track record.
One presidency is more than a full-time job. Whilst I do like him cut the poor guy some slack.
University prof? Witty? Sharp tongue?
I’m down.
An astronaut for president? That’s actually pretty catchy.
Also seems like an interesting guy outside of that.
Seems like an interesting guy, and fits my two basic criteria: not being a geriatric and being a reasonable person. I’ve limited my expectations to avoid disappointment :'D
From the bottom of my heart - I hate it.
For some reason it caught on as the go-to messaging app for casual conversations for folks my generation (in my country at least).
Deleted my account roughly a year ago.
Not sure if it’s my favourite, but I definitely haven’t seen it mentioned on the internet: Kai Chronicles!
It’s an app with the entire lone wolf saga CYOA books in digital format, for free, no ads.
Definitely would recommend.
