He really feels the urge to make Blatter look like a saint in comparison at all levels doesn’t he?

Take note EU.

What do you think unblocked the EU trade deals with Mercosur and India? Suddenly almost all the grievances became small inconveniences in comparison.

This and the recent Wine patches to support Photoshop’s installer might open the door to Linux becoming viable for graphic designers.

Really good news on that front this week.

Deutsche Rentenversicherung should send you an estimate of how much pension money you are going to receive every year. Assume that is optimistic, but a good baseline. I assume the matching program you mentioned is a Betriebliche Altersvorsorge (bAV)? Those usually also tell you how much they will pay you as a minimum, and another estimate based on normal economic growth.

Chances are that those together will not be enough to match your wage at retirement. So you should plan your savings so you can cover the difference for at least 16 years (which is the current life expectancy at 67 years old in Germany), and overshoot that if you can.

Turkey attacked Cyprus not Greece. Greece was allied with Cyprus, but there have been other cases of NATO countries supporting different sides on war (which often involves Turkey).
Greenland is a territory of a NATO country, so an attack on Greenland is an attack on NATO.

You haven’t been paying close attention. Even his foundation is doing shady business to benefit Gates’ bottom line all the time.

I wonder how’s the weather in Madagascar this time of the year.

I expect even some bigger gaps, because top 1% is usually when you start having enough money to have good living standards efficiently. I.e. at this point you have the option of having efficient construction and waste less on cooling and heating, you can afford more sustainable clothing, both in terms of material and durability, etc. But unfortunately lots of people just decide to turbocharge destructive consumption instead.

The gay propaganda is broad enough that it means that people are allowed to be gay if they pretend to be heterosexual.

Like in all fascist regimes, application of the law is arbitrary, but if the regime wants to get rid of gay person, then they will happily label their “lifestyle” as gay propaganda.

This is probably the proposal that came out of the Berlin talks last week.

Deontology in engineering and applied sciences fiction

Sometimes everyone involved in a story are assholes.

Who could have predicted the risks of having an army of murder-rapists with PTSD? /s

Brits: the government has sold London’s public squares to private companies so we can’t protest there, they are arresting people for waving flags where they can still protest, we are against international human rights courts, but we draw the line at an id document.

From UNICEF’s Children’s Version/TLDR the Convention on the Rights of the Child:

3. Best interests of the child

When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children. All adults should do what is best for children. Governments should make sure children are protected and looked after by their parents, or by other people when this is needed. Governments should make sure that people and places responsible for looking after children are doing a good job.

5. Family guidance as children develop

Governments should let families and communities guide their children so that, as they grow up, they learn to use their rights in the best way. The more children grow, the less guidance they will need.

(emphasis mine)

19. Protection from violence

Governments must protect children from violence, abuse and being neglected by anyone who looks after them.

This, plus all the rights that state that the default should be children being raised by their families, means what you are saying is literal international law everywhere except the US (though it’s a application is still… frankly non existent in most of the world)

Currently it works just as frontend for git, but it theoretically supports other backends too. Allegedly Google has their own experimental internal cloud+db based backend for big monorepos.

DB is the definite proof that German efficiency is a lie, but tourists using urban transports in big cities will usually have a good experience. Even the public transports in Berlin have got their shit together in the last few years, even if S-Bahn/DB are still a level below BVG.

Yes. And photos should also have a disclaimer about what kinds of edits were done, regardless if they were done manually or by AI.

I keep seeing stupid ideas in social media because people believe edited photos match reality.

NATO requirements are also fully met if the US deems that doing nothing is the necessary action and informs the Security Council.

Article 5 has:

such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force

which might also be thoughts and prayers while Trump is in the White House and

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security

which is basically what was offered to Ukraine.
