Another government related one. The UK government were until 2015 still paying compensation to families that made their wealth in the slave trade, for it's abolition. Another way to read this is that some wealthy families accepted tax payers money as compensation for their ancestors no longer being able to profit from the abuse of humans.

I know too many people that think Starbucks is the only place that makes good coffee and refuse to go anywhere else. No, you like strong roasts, lots of sugar, and plenty of advertising, most of which you can get anywhere else if you just ask.

More like 1-2 thousand. Our politicians are surprisingly cheap to bribe

Because the genetics that build the vocal tract could be different, which in simple terms could mean a change in pitch. There are also more cultural differences such as speech cadence, accent, and inflection.

It does safeguard to some extent. The goty editions will typically have all patches that didn't exist on the launch version. This is usually an issue for offline play/preservation where the platform that would provide you with updates no longer exist.

Is it really? Can someone not just like the potter series and either disagree with or ignore the politics of the author?

I think enforcing some universal API for this would be a decent compromise. This would allow browsers to handle the UI which means the user can set a global preference or set it per site. At the very least the UI would be uniform so you wouldn't have to fight dark patterns trying to disable them.

The problem with psychiatry is that it's expected to have quick fixes like other schools of medicine. Often the conditions are chronic and the treatment is long term at best which makes it slow and expensive. Drugs can help in the short term but they're often not able to be replaced by correct treatment due to funding.

Is this a joke about every day being a 0-day?

There's a concept that should be familiar to a business owner called value based pricing where you charge based upon a (usually service) product's perceived value rather than the cost of producing it. Make a game worth giving time and money to then you'll have success. Fill it with pointless content to pad out the hours and it is neither worth the time nor the money

Really depends what you want to create but there's nothing wrong with just writing html and css. They're as portable as you can get.

If you're planning to do a lot of editing/posting then a static site genarator would be the next best thing as again you just end up with html and css which can be hosted anywhere. The generator can run on your system. Most are powered by markdown files so the content can (with little work) be migrated to another generator.

Beyond this you're starting to get in to cms or other complex systems which i think is out of the scope of your question.

Fun stories like this remind me why my country (UK) just never feels connected to Europe. We've got this amazing continent on our doorstep but the poor state of our language education prevents many from feeling comfortable to explore it. I would love to share a story like this.

Unfortunately we can't pick winners this way. Even if actiblizz come out on top it's still a win for alternative stores so i'm happy with that outcome.

I see your distant highway traffic and raise you the sound of a distant railway, especially at night

What's wrong with living in India?

Go on Mr totally-not-nazi-leader Putin, open up the war on another front. That worked out so well for the last one, as your country should know.

It's mentioned in the article

although there will be an exemption for delivery drivers.

Thanks for the perspective. I'm not a member of the community (or much of a potter fan, other than enjoying the movies as a kid. Nostalgia) so it's probably a lot easier for me to separate author from work.

It just concerned me that people would be unintentionally flagging themselves as an adversary. The generalisation also seemed unfair and alienating in the same way many marginalised groups are. I do understand though that one side is something you enjoy and the other is something you are.

What makes them fallen?

Bobby fingers came in swinging with high production value from day 1. He doesn't have many videos but the quality of them is so good.

I'm not an expert by any means but just happen to have some knowledge on the subject.

It really depends on the condition, how severe it is and if there are any compounding issues. Take something like depression as an example. In my country, UK, you'll often end up on antidepressants, and get a referral to a specialist if you're lucky. The specialist likely won't have the funding or at least a huge backlog of patients to work through so they'll be trying to get you out on your own as soon a possible, which means getting you to 'good enough'. As a result you'll likely remain on antidepressants when continued therapy would be much more beneficial and could take you off the medication. Drugs are cheap but time with a therapist is not.

Fears also takes more forms than staying away from something. People with what you might define as more conventional phobias would avoid the thing they don't like (maybe spiders), many would hate the thing and others may even seek to destroy it.

I know better vibes going on here

Its great that you're concerned about your safety online but when considering that you should also think of the fact that these celebrities are also people and deserve the same safety you expect for yourself.

In Rowling's case it seems to be due to her being alive and directly benefiting from the financial success of her work. Pirating seems like a fair compromise. "I like what you make enough to consume it, but don't like you enough to pay for it"

Maybe good creators are just horrible people

Which part? The verdict or the rapings?

This sounds reasonable to me. Starbucks is everywhere. But when you do have options they're far from the top choice.

You could have a look around to see if you have any local coffee roasters and then find out who they supply to try and get something a lot fresher.

I've only just realised that with the way federation works, each user effectively represents their instance and it's community. Now I know to not give anyone at fanaticus.social any attention.

I don't agree that this type of response is productive, there's a lot more nuance to these arguments. It is however interesting which things we're no longer allowed to like. Disney for example, despite their history of anti-Semitism don't nearly get as much hate as they deserve and at a time where even suggesting something that Israel did to Gaza is bad becomes conflated with hating Jews
