I mean AMD heavily relies on Taiwan being independent to even be the company they are. If China takes over most people in power and all the shareholders are fucked - so in this instance it actually makes sense even from a company standpoint to do malicious compliance
Libertarianism is just the extremest form of liberalism though?
Libertarianism also means EVERYONE is free to live their lives how they want - murdering someone is the very antithesis of liberalism
I’m not a native speaker - I just wanted to say that for a very long time, most podcasts where hosted on iTunes and that was (and kind of still is) the go-to place for podcast-reviews/ratings
And as I said: they kept the system open despite their market position
It’s one thing to rule them all and a whole other to lock users into your platform
Apple monopolized the podcast market for a decade but never stopped people from using the podcasts there with whatever client people wanted to use it with
Spotify is just going the shitty route and forcing people to use their client and not just their servers
Brazil first, Australia 2nd and hopefully EU third nail in the coffin for that clown’s platform
Illegal immigration surging? The numbers are lower than any of the previous years? I’d consider thinking about which echo-chambers I’m part of in your place if that’s really the main issue you’re worried about right now…
I mean there are enough (closeted) homosexual right wingers with loudly voiced homophobic opinions for it not be a problem
*unless you’re working for public infrastructure, service industry, cultural industry, energy production, some parts of transportation or some parts of manufacturing where you can’t shut down a plant for a single day.
There are so many exceptions to that law I’m really wondering how much difference it would really make it supermarkets and regular shift works would also continue on the weekends - just with the standard 5 days workweek still applying and having to pay a bit bonus for working on Sundays, the same way the other jobs are also getting paid more for Sunday work
I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about democratic parties working together on issues in a functioning democracy with more than two parties. And if those parties have different ideas of how to reach a goal and compromise on it to get to the same goal - then that often results in them losing voters to parties pointing out how they broke their promise of doing it a certain way and how they should have insisted on their solution
Is this an US thing? I’m fairly certain I’ve never seen that in Germany
Too many people see compromise as a weakness and it’s destroying democracy which is built on this very principle that all different kinds of people have to come together and make laws to create a common denominator.
But for some reason political parties today catch flak left and right if they compromise on some of their positions in order to achieve at least a bit of progress instead of being unyielding on it but not changing anything since noone else would agree on it.
Imho that’s one of the reasons why populist parties today gain so much ground: the very act of compromise is seen as weak by many and they capitalize on that to attack the other parties
You mean the one pretty much every manufacturer did that just got associated with Volkswagen since they were the first to get caught?
So many humans are so incredibly bad at being content with what they have - the grass is always greener on the other side…
You kind of can depending on where it was made
Also great for city climate since heated up cars are acting like a heat battery making it significantly slower for a city to cool down once the sun goes away
Ideally there would be no openly parked cars but I guess this is the next best thing
And the conservatives attack them on every front because of how much they stir up things - it’s so sad how well that propaganda works…
My rule of thumb is that “recyclable” is 99% greenwashing and 1% a clueless business actually meaning well.
Everything is recyclable to some degree - if they wanted to do something for the environment it should be made from recycled material instead of advertising that it’s possible to recycle the material they used
I only look at 1 sar reviews for that reason and decide if the problem those people have if relevant for me or in general
