The data comes from the FAA. It's public data. All this guy has done is put an interface on it. Unless Swift's legal team can prove that each individual stalker used an interface hosted by this guy I don't see how he can be thought of as responsible for anything. And even if they did use an interface hosted by him, he's still not doing anything other than showing public data. Data that the FAA clearly believe is in a legitimate public interest to make public. If she's got an issue with that, they're the people to go after.

Progressive ideas that have the concept of putting people first at their core. Creativity, imaginatively expressed, as art, code, music, literature, poetry, media.

Basically most things that aren't made with the express purpose of generating money.

No I mean two nations that have been heavily involved in the situation in question from day one, keeping one of those nations afloat financially and making them the main military power in the area standing by and doing nothing whist the gvmt they've created and support steamroller a whole set of people but perfectly happy to protect their financial interests. I can imagine why that might be.

Personally I'm beyond thrilled to live in a country that ignores what's happening to people in Palestine but jumps into action the very second profits are in jeopardy.

I'm not saying you're wrong but there's also a LOT of men in their 20s-30s and upwards who've bought into his shit. And even teens (speaking as parent to some) know that someone who's been arrested for sex trafficking isn't someone to listen to.

the cops might have did it on purpose because they were ordered to stop it

Yep.

The UK gvmt have been increasingly cracking down on the right to protest. For example, during the proclamation of Charles coronation (royal officers go to towns and read an official proclamation out loud) a man who said (direct quote) "Not in my name" was arrested on a public order offence and dragged through the system until the CPS said they weren't going to take it any further.

At every turn the current Tory gvmt have urged the Police to be heavy handed with public order 'offences' and sort it out later.

You've already got for-profit prisons in the US where inmates (slaves) are hired out.

What do we know about how a for-profit system works? That's right - profit must always keep growing, or to put it another way, incentivising the process of creating criminals in order to increase the potential for a growing slave labour market is a growth industry.

Just because something doesn't have the literal name 'slavery' attached to it, doesn't mean it isn't actually slavery in every respect that matters.

Very biased source but to be honest, they're right that Iran trains and finances Hamas. I'm not sure how that might lead to a prosecution of Iran for genocide though. Could the UK, US etc be found guilty of genocide because we finance and supply Israel? That's a genuine question by the way, I honestly don't know.

None of this detracts in any way from the genocidal statements made by Israeli gvmt ministers about nuking and starving out Palestinians though.

If you consider Andrew Tate a meaningful source on any subject I really don't care what generation you're a part of - you're a fucking idiot and you need to sort yourself out. All you are to him is a gullible mark to extract money from.

I agree that it's good he was (presumably) not hitting people any more and I agree its good he had enough self perception to see that it was an abnormal thing to hit people as a means of expression.

However I guess I'd feel more comfortable about that admittance if I knew how the people he abused feel about it and him. Did he ever seek out those women and sincerely apologise? Maybe he did, I don't know. And if he did, did they accept that apology? Because it's all very well adopting a peace and love attitude when it makes you a lot of money and using your past as a means of contrast to highlight how much you now value peace and love when you don't have to actually face the people you abused.

"All that 'I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved' was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically - any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women."

I've never used it but Leantime promotes itself as tailored for ADHD and neurodivergence in general. I believe it has a free option, or you can self host also for free.

Ah OK. Glad I bookmarked the mirror then.

It absolutely was.

It's a comparison of mainline browsers - they haven't included any forks in it.

I've been using them for nearly 3 years now and never used (or even knew they offered) email support.

Not ideal they use GMail of course but they could be using private keys (as most business users do I believe) which means Google couldn't see a thing anyway.

It's an isolationist policy. The US military doesn't have military bases/presences across Europe (and elsewhere) out of the goodness of its heart or to protect Europe. They also do it because their military realises that its much, much better to have bases somewhere where they can strike an international enemy quickly from. It's a militarily mutually beneficial arrangement.

So, the US would lose that early strike capability. They'd also lose all the intelligence benefits having people on the ground brings with it. Also, should it happen and Europe was successfully invaded, US businesses would either temporarily or permanently lose access to one of their biggest trade export blocs and a large amount of access to imports too.

Unlike most, I don't believe its possible (or even a very good idea) to ignore the news. What I do is limit my news source to two places a day, BBC and The Guardian which I know are not perfect but I believe they can be largely trusted. Other than that, I read the odd link on here but I won't doom scroll.

I also do things that have a tangible effect for people who have it worse than me. Hands on in my immediate locality, and via donation nationally and/or internationally. I have a list of charities that I support and donate to two for 6 months then switch to another two and repeat. Doing this means that most importantly, people are helped in some small way and less importantly it offsets the shitness of life a bit. If I can feel a bit happy that I'm doing something, that's a good thing.
