Came here to say the same thing.

How about I feign surprise? Does that work, EU?

This is a bit of a catch-22, isn’t it? And I’m saying this as someone that grew up poor and lived in communities where people lived on $1 a day. This isn’t the solution it thinks it is.

Poverty rates in urban areas mean that a lot of people who are food insecure live in places distantly removed from where food is grown. Even in Brazil. The crops spoken of here are popular specifically because they travel well, store well, are cheap to mill, and common commodities so a bag of rice from Thailand can go to Brazil or the US or Nigeria or France or India and everyone knows what to expect. But other than high value crops like flowers, cocoa or coffee, it’s exceedingly rare that large numbers of farmers grow crops that they don’t consume even a bit themselves or sell locally. Post-harvest waste products for most staple grains are their own market, and plenty of broken rice makes it to the market for sale as well. I’m not saying this is a perfect or good system, just that it hits a lot of very basic human desires that do, in fact, feed most people on earth already.

A right to food system is nice, but it’s expensive, especially as populations continue to urbanize. Many countries subsidize agriculture, focused on smallholder farming, because it’s a cheap way to get votes and funnel things like fertilizer contracts to your friends.

If this was such a good idea, the logical conclusion is to just make exports of edible products illegal and only allow imports. Flood your own markets with food that would be so cheap no one would bother farming it because the inputs alone would run you at a huge loss.

Of course not! That’s crazy.

If all the regional neighbors also got dragged in then that would mean that when the US went into Iraq that Kuwait, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia…

Oh, never mind.

In his book, Trevor Noah mentions this. Everyone knows the name Hitler! So it’s like borrowing fame.

Across West Africa a few years post-9/11, tons of merch would feature Osama Bin Ladin. T-shirts, watches, posters, etc. Most people didn’t fully understand he did 9/11, but his name and picture was always in Western media, so he was famous!

No no no, it’s one of those Blue Zone things! It’s definitely not pension scams!

“Ugh, really? Do we need to rent a second dumpster to get rid of more stuff they hid somewhere else? WTF? They didn’t even leave us enough money for the first dumpster!”

It should be noted that in cases like these, LOCAL labor laws outside the US typically say that staff can’t be furloughed or asked to work without pay. Like any sane person would just naturally assume.

It’s rare that a country doesn’t have those protections in place and would let the local staff fall victim to bad employment practices like this.

As I understand it, the reason was she wasn’t some perfect anarcho-socialist, so until the Mainstream AF Democratic Party that intentionally sidelined Bernie Sanders in 2016 fields a national candidate that is the most far-left progressive imaginable, it’s not worth voting at all because it’s an act of protest against one’s self, which is morally superior to giving a flying fuck about other people who are 100% bound to suffer and die as the result of that action. Basically spoiled rich kid logic.

I’m not yet too old to utilize my second amendment rights, but the people that think like this are the ones that push things in that direction. They’re accelerationists of the same magnitude as the hard-right Zionist MAGA fools and don’t realize how easily and completely they play right into the hands of every single thing they hate by acting like this.

Now smash the down arrow, crush that report drop-down, and spam me with Marxist diatribes all you little .MLers. It doesn’t absolve you of the part you joyfully played in making these crimes happen to all of us a year ago. Y’all are disgusting.

Gotta save them for Venezuela and Nigeria! That oil ain’t gonna liberate itself!

A friend saved a flyer from her high school days that was this entire image of Burt nude from Cosmo, hand-traced onto the middle of the flyer with Burt’s arm replaced with a sizeable dick hanging out there taking a nap on his thigh. Then totally unrelated “King Kong with Slint - Dave’s Bar 1234 Fourth Street, Friday 10:00pm” or whatever text around the drawing. It was just messy enough of a tracing/drawing that it wasn’t immediately recognizable, but when you looked for more than 2 seconds it was like “oh - OH. OK, uh, wow.”

Hey, if the Etsy Witches did CK, no reason why HH can’t be worried about this, too.

Also, for real this will carry a significant sentence to a witch camp if convicted.

Typical Newsweek, I’ve seen several people who have worked in Nepal say that corruption was spiraling out of control and people have been livid about it for months. The protests were already ramping up, which is why social media platforms were cut off, so videos about the corruption and investigations and means to plan protests were cut off. The “they didn’t register in time” excuse is for the government to save face internationally.

You’ll have yellow shins and calves on every pair of pants you own.

That’s what Google wants, because people gave up on Jailbreaking iPhones because the loss of features wasn’t worth it on the other side. Google probably doesn’t love that their flagship is the best model for use with custom ROMs, plus they’re also trying to lock out Xiomi as well for what that’s worth.

While giving up is an option, someone somewhere needs to coordinate this entire OSS ecosystem to focus on singular projects. I would love to see a privacy and FOSS non-profit do exactly this.

I’m in the same exact boat.

At some point when Google kills custom ROMs, everyone working on customs ROMs won’t have anywhere else to go other than a Linux phone.

Same. Never use these things on Android.

That’s about the connection to Car Play, not GPS

When customs ROMs and most FOSS apps are killed next year on Android, we’re all going to find out very quickly how much the trap has closed around us.

Same reason I loved to Linux on desktop, something that used to be cool and open and at least work mostly has enshittified beyond repair. I’m not going to let the bastards get me if I can help it.
