But where did he get the fish?

What about a small company? What if it's your own business and it only employs family? What if you are the only employee? It's okay to have an emotional stake in a business, just probably not when it's a megacorp you're on the lowest rung of.

For real, how much can a banana cost? 100 kronor??

This feels like one of those "VR in the 90s was shit so we should never develop VR" kind of things.

It is true that there's no Polestar manufacturing in Sweden and Tesla's dispute seems to centre on those workers in Sweden. However there are still a couple of thousand Polestar employees in Sweden, whereas the Tesla action is against only ~120.

It is not just factory workers that are striking and getting involved. Every field in Sweden is unionised and it is not even just Tesla employees taking action against the company. As the link above states, dockworkers who are not affiliated with Tesla are refusing to unload their cars.

Sort of. The parent company is Chinese, but you don't see the Swedish unions having massive strikes with Volvo or Polestar workers and they are headquartered there.

So what you're saying is, it's double hipster

I think I'm still alive, but I would like to order one death by Quokka please.

Nah, everything would be the same price but there'd be no salt in it.

I don't hate Jamie Oliver. I just recognise that his initiatives come from a slightly misguided sense of privilege.

The school dinners initiative was good. I'm glad kids aren't eating turkey twizzlers all the time (I don't think I've ever had one myself but I wouldn't begrudge people who want them).

The sugar tax however is a flaming pile of bullshit. Coke are pretty much the only company that forced the 5p increase onto the consumer. Almost every single other manufacturer kept their price the same and swapped out a bunch of sugar for sweetners, giving you no option but to have diet or semi-diet everything. It just allowed corporations to line their pockets by cutting costs and the general public doesn't drink any less sugary drinks.

Was the programme Jamie Oliver's sugar tax? No it fucking wasn't and now everything tastes like shit.

Nobody courts a slamming from Erdoğan.

It only means there was no intent to murder. If there was intent to do harm, but that harm results in death, it would fall under manslaughter.

It could also be the case that it's just deemed to be grossly negligent or reckless behaviour, but that seems much harder to pin down, especially in a professional sports setting.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to investigate. If someone slashes a person's throat, they probably shouldn't get away with it without question just because it was in the middle of a sporting match. I assume the arrest means they've identified some kind of intent.

Jesus christ.

Now that's a breakdown that should be in the article!

I don't think it really matters that much why they are bombing hospitals. I think most people are just upset about the bombing of hospitals.

Finding a little basement underneath with a small cache of weapons in is only upsetting in that some people seem to think that it justifies bombing a hospital full of civilians.

Right. I guess it makes sense not to return them to a non functional hospital. I'd just like to think that if you shut down a hospital that you are then able to provide the displaced occupants with the care they need or at least another place to go.

My main issue is with the scale of it. For me, 3 AKs, a couple of rockets and a box of grenades is not what constitutes a "large weapons cache". Nor does having those items and a bit of rope on the basement constitute "turning the hospital into a terror base". Wasn't the hospital above legit? Sure, it's a cancer that needs to be cut out, but this is equivalent to killing the cancer patient and making their whole town homeless.

If a bomb making terrorist were found in an apartment building, you would clear out all the paraphernalia and the bomb maker from their apartment. You wouldn't then make the apartment block uninhabitable and turf out all the other residents to fend for themselves. At least I'd hope you wouldn't.

For fear of being called a Hamas bootlicker... I don't get it.

So there was a secret safe house under the hospital containing some weapons and evidence that someone had been tied up there in the past. Maybe that justifies surrounding the place with tanks and securing it.

So... now that's been secured, what is the justification for not allowing it to continue to function. Are the IDF giving amnesty to all the displaced patients and giving them the medical aid they need?

I'm assuming the C in CRPGs is Character? I thought I'd open the article and learn the acronym, but it never states it!

Pretty bad writing ettiquette to just drop an acronym without first laying out the component parts. Especially so when the article is literally about the acronym and uses it pretty much every sentence.
