Where can I report this for drug promotion?

I like to mention it often, but in Germany state run water companies run self-sufficient and even make money to invest in keeping the infrastructure alive. In my city we have a water loss of less than 2% due to well maintained pipes. Thames Water is losing like 25%!

I still can't believe how this company got to grift the British people in broad daylight and is now asking for more to grift and government in charge still wants more of this.

So Israel did the same thing as Iran, an attack that signals strength but isn't really a serious attack, but Iran actually ended the current issue here. I wonder if that's a level of finger too, that Israel couldn't stop without having the last word, but Iran actually could.

Both countries don't really want direct war with each other at this point, and Israel specifically has its hands full with Gaza and Hisbollah right now, its allies urging it to tone down the carnage and they have to snarl at an Iran that isn't even willing to fight against the US wishes. I can only take from this that Netanyahu that war will end and he has to take his hat.

The grift is so unreal.

Hamburg Wasser made a profit of almost 100 million Euro in 2022 and since it's owned by the state of Hamburg it didn't shit that profit out to shareholders, but invested it into the infrastructure.

And the Tories are still reluctant to nationalise this vital service that has nothing to do in the "free" market.

Good question. Some say boycott the whole show or just Israel's song, I suppose you can boo if you're on location or be loud in the chat on the official livestream, generally use the buzz on social media. Generally, they will be aware that people will want to register their disgust and will probably prepare themselves for that.

I'd say generally, participate normally in Eurovision discussion and then make noise or boycott when it's Israel's turn. The media that love to report on the event, as it has a reach bigger than the Superbowl, will pick it up when it's enough noise.

Also watch out if some of the artists will say or do something. Iceland is always very itchy and gives no fucks.

At the very least, I think Eurovision next month will get even more awkward than it was already set out to be.

Heck, if you want, you can pay with hard cash by mailing it with your payment token to their office. It's pretty great when it comes to choice of privacy.

I mean, genocide is not a single event. Even a massacre is not necessarily genocide by itself. It's a systemic, large scale process. If we're going to the scale of genocide, it won't be about one or two events, but a multitude of events at which point it's getting hard to put the blame on a rogue person or on accidents.

That aside, it's of course something that the IDF went from "we are a modern, precise army, the best of the crop" to "no, we can't be at fault, we have no control over ourselves, everyone just does what they want".

Yeah, Mullvad was searched and they shrugged and said "well, go ahead" and could then proudly publish that the Swedish authorities could take zero info from there: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/update-the-swedish-authorities-answered-our-protocol-request

I also liked that it doesn't say that all followers of an ideology are good or bad people. A lot of media that tries to tackle ideologies just make everyone in the general direction of an opposing ideology horrible people. In Disco Elysium is not as black and white. There are good and bad people in every broad ideology. Are you a bad person, just because you believe in capitalism? No. Are you a good person, just because you believe in communism? Also no. Disco Elysium is very nuanced while making it's cases.

When people asked for the USA to take a page out of Europe they didn't mean from the 1930s

This is Hamburg and they do in Hamburg. The AFD barely made it over the 5% hurdle in the last election.

Given the soldiers that killed unarmed hostages against the order of their field commander they're not even doing that.

Some guy named Vinny "Vidi" Vici

I have a monitor above my bed that I connect the deck to with a hub. It's pretty chill.

Had to do it recently, because my Steamdeck couldn't use it. One firmware uodate and it worked like butter.

Also, Ted Cruz would be a domestic catastrophe that fills his and hid mates pockets with the money of others, but he would not be an instable insane nuke, ready to blow up something on a whim.

This is where we are right now.

Coal in stockings doesn't scare anyone. Godzilla bodying you home town, now that's a credible threat.

I would like to say something in return, but all I can think of is Americans driving Brits to death or into hospital and then America giving the middle finger to Britons asking for justice.

So much for the special relationship
