Except Ukrainians, Taiwanese and others may pay a hefty price for this one.

I feel like the thought that Twitter was ever a mass social platform for everyone is very journalist bias view. Facebook, Instagram and Reddit were already massive players before the Xtermination.

People who love or tolerate left populism.

There are a lot of people and organizations that are just slow to move and don’t really know where to go.

Probably the two IT nerds who manage the Vatican systems.

I’m worried a failing economy could actually motivate them to get into war to divert the people’s attention and stay in power, I think it’s a common political tactic.

Does it also pull support for old Linux distributions?

They may actually use English if they don’t have the same native language, many have another native language than Hindi. Also if they want to be readable more easily by the rest of the world like I’m doing currently.

Good point, but I think it’s possible Indian and Nigerian, for example, user generated English content, will compete with USA’s. Cultural bubbles may remain, but the internet in some ways also make them more porous.

I think NA+EU+Commonwealth will remain an interesting rich market, so they will make it accessible to them, like the recent Chinese video game Black Myth Wukong, for example. Also India already produces a lot of movies with English version, and there are large parts of high demographic growth countries speaking English in Africa, for example Nigeria, projected to be 500M of people by the end of this century.

Doubt it will keep being the case in a couple of decades given the demography of China, India and Africa once they are all developed enough to produce as much media as the USA today.

Calm down and read again. The person said social disqualification as opposed to judicial conviction, and I’m saying social disqualification being a vague notion could lead to easier abuse by the political power to shut down opposition.

The theory was that any other social disqualifications would be handled at the ballot box.

That theory is now proven to be incorrect, but fixing it takes a constitutional amendment.

That could be a slippery slope too. Imagine a constitutional amendment making someone ineligible because of a “social disqualification” such as sexual orientation.

A state of confusion

I think it’s probably because it is informal or maybe ambiguous.

the cause of Gallant’s firing has little to do with security concerns and everything to do with domestic politics. Gallant’s dismissal centers on his vocal opposition to a planned law formalizing draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) men, a measure demanded by Netanyahu’s ultra-Orthodox coalition partners. Gallant, a champion of universal military service, had called the law “non-egalitarian and corrupt,” articulating the sentiments of many Israelis who view mandatory service as a fundamental, unifying obligation.
…
Gallant also struck a nerve by calling for a national commission of inquiry into the debacle of Oct. 7 — a position that projects integrity, because such a commission is very likely to be harsh with everyone in a position of security responsibility on the day when 1,200 people were massacred in Israel. That stands in extraordinary contrast with Netanyahu, who has been fighting tooth and nail to prevent any accounting for the failure – indeed hoping to drag things out long enough, and complicate matters enough, that somehow his culpability might be forgotten by enough people so as to enable him to cling yet more to power.

I had a Pycharm linter with “inconsiderate writing list” flag my use of “bi” as inappropriate, recommending to use “bisexual” instead. In my data job, BI, means business intelligence, it’s everywhere.

And the next year the t-shirt is expired because the player changed number or club, ka-ching! It’s like the football video games, they can sell the same low quality goods every year by just claiming that they updated the teams.

The funny thing is that the rich people know that those are 2nd class luxury. The real luxury clothes do not have big logos, they are made with expensive materials like silk, cashmere and other expensive hand crafted fabrics that most people can only afford exceptionally. Most Luxury brand sold their soul for profits by creating those 2nd class that wanna-look rich people can afford, but they still sell their actually valuable products to actually rich clients, without big logos.

P.S.: those 2nd class luxury are made in the same Asian sweatshops as the fast fashion like H&M, while real luxury are made by highly skilled workers, usually in Western countries.
