Is this about the real estate dealer that’s going to pave over what’s left of a country to make Mediterranean resorts?

If you ignore all the folk tales about people one upping the devil or the local equivalent… everywhere, yes, it’s a uniquely American trait.

That can be a good thing. Iterative improvement is vastly underrated.

Never heard a Spanish person use diestra or siniestra on a day to day basis. I assume that’s like destra e sinistra in Portuguese (my native language) that are very rare synonyms used when someone wants to sound pretentious.

Depending on your definition of border, borders between two countries don’t always match.

Basically every single dot in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes#/media/File:Map_of_Territorial_Disputes.svg will cause the legal borders of bordering states to diverge.

That’s Italian, in Spanish it’s Derecha and izquierda.

I would like to congratulate the justice systems of South Africa, India and Brazil for actually caring for the international law even when it’s not convenient for their government.

Even from a Real Politik point of view, it never seems to amaze me how self-defeating the actions of some European countries are.

Except other works, both in sci-fi and fantasy, managed to solve the problem by either having the collective form an agent to act as a spokesperson or just have a random member of the collective speak - with the mandatory scene where someone shoots one of them and another finishes the sentence.

Mandatory copypasta:

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.

Even in terms of speech, it’s ridiculous to claim that boobs are more harmful than a social media diet of assholes claiming women or racial minorities aren’t people.

Did I say it was? Calling someone hypocrite doesn’t mean I’m claiming they are the only asshole in the room.

looks at how California treats their “normal” homeless

Is that America unconditional aid in the room with us?

Is this the same as, “fuck standards, pay for a walled garden, and promote crypto-scams” proton? I’m shocked 😮

What’s a New Zealand? Lazyiest hoax country, first they give it the name of a Danish island, then when someone points out Denmark didn’t have colonies in the Pacific, they come up with a BS excuse it’s a misspelling of Zeeland because it was named by the Dutch, and then they forget to include it in 90% of the maps. Most incompetent conspiracy ever.

The main difference is that the project will be owned by the non-profit foundation. This still leaves mastodon.social in the for profit Mastodon gGmbH but Mastodon itself is safe.

You mean the “justify American war crimes after 9-11” plot?

Oh no, poor Zuckerberg, what is going to do after he’s fired? He has no marketable skills at all.

What’s the point?

On Greenland, atlanticism fundamentalists could blame Trump, but this embargo is from the business as usual faction in the US.

And they basically did a spearfishing attack on all of Romania to promote a neo-nazi in their presidential elections.
