  • They can't get kicked out but their voting rights in the councils could be suspended. That would require unanimous approval by all other member states.

    In the past, Hungary under Orbán and Poland under Morawiecki had some kind of pact to protect each other from such a suspension. With Tusk now the Polish prime minister, that's no longer the case, but there's some fear that Slovakia's Fico could shield Orbán instead.

  • Brigands and thief (both from around 1400) stand out from this list as a little too modern

  • I assume that 蚤の市 is a loan word and フリーマーケット a calque. But I don't speak any Japanese.

  • Japanese fleama though appears to be a loan word and not a calque like the rest.

  • Archive

  • They're clearly Bernie Bros, all of them

  • You can change your display name but your user handle is fixed.

    I imagine being able to change your user handle could cause issues with federation. If you changed your user handle, your instance would have to notify all other instances. If one instance didn't get this information, your account before and after the change would look like two separate accounts on that instance.

  • I don't understand these comics. Are they pro religion? Are they anti-religious satire?

    The first comic seems to both warn against satan and attack religion. It might be talking about all religions but the right one.

    The second comic is even more confusing. First it seems to associate education and the theory of evolution in particular with satan. But then it seems to associate rejection of education with punks who aren't necessarily known for their religiosity.

    The third comic, finally, is pretty clear, painting wealth and entertainment (sports) as detractions from religion. This could technically still be satire though.

  • She would still have to either trust him or take birth control herself as well.

  • Are you sure he wasn't liquidated? To keep him from spilling secrets on that intelligence service?

  • Wrong, that's a particle. An article is a spot on your skin where hair grows.

  • Do you have the template without the text?

  • The CNN headline is a bit misleading. It's not the International Criminal Court as a whole that is seeking these arrest warrants but the ICC's chief prosecutor Karim Khan. The judges have yet to decide on these warrants.

    [Side note: This is the same kind of lazy journalism that uses terms like EU chief or EU leader interchangeably for the President of the European Commission (Ursula von der Leyen) and the President of the European Council (Charles Michel). If this was limited to a short headline, I could excuse it, but CNN continues with the same wording in the first sentence of the article: "The International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for ..." which is absolutely unnecessary, even if CNN clarifies things later.]

  • Luckily, Carl is no Alpaca. The human sacrifice ban though...

  • Giving your young children alcohol could still get you in trouble though for neglect.
