I’m just curious, could you expand on what the rules are pertaining to this subject here? This is the first I’ve heard of it, since the Rules on the sidebar don’t mention it.

“If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.”
Anyone who has followed this conflict closely can see alarming gaps in the Forces’ equipment. The lack of systems like self-propelled guns, rocket artillery, and weaponised drones / loitering munitions would put our troops in a seriously bad position if push came to shove.
The brutal reality is that Putin’s Russia embodies everything the Trump Republicans dream of for America: a boundlessly corrupt, white supremacist, ethnonationalist fascist state whose oligarchs possess limitless power so long as they obey The President.
They call themselves the “party of Reagan”, while they trip over themselves to sell the geopolitical future of Europe down the river to Moscow…
I see that they used the wrong tense for “described”, but that could be a typo. Other than that it seems grammatical to me. I guess “alluded to” and “described” are redundant, but that’s more a stylistic defect than an actual error imo.
I know here in BC the Labour ministry has job centres called “WorkBC” that not only help with resumes and job searches, but actually have dedicated classes specifically for newcomers from Ukraine.
P.S. Welcome! We’re glad to have you, and I hope everything works out without too much trouble :)
“Chinese officials visibly nervous at the outpouring of public praise for dead leader [who they had sidelined and demoted].”
Русский, no — Российский, yes.
Well, it’s a good thing that the Bad Foreigners are to blame for the issue — otherwise the Kremlin might be forced to engage in critical thinking over the implications of their incessant agitprop for the stability in minority regions, and we can’t have that.
I admire your optimism.
The monthly prices users pay per maid are according to race, the website states – with employers charged less for the services of a black maid. “Filipinas AED3,500 ($952)/month” and “Africans AED2,700 ($735)/month,” it states
The website states that Filipina maids require a bedroom of their own to sleep in, while African maids do not.
Nobody does racist slavery quite like the Gulf Arab countries, do they? I don’t know which is more grim, that or the disclaimer:
“Zero legal liability. Maid stays on our visa, so you’ll never have to worry about any legal consequences. If anything goes wrong (eg runaway maid, pregnancy), we’re responsible to deal with any lawsuits or visits to police stations, not you.”
IE, you can sexually abuse your underpaid migrant worker without fear of legal consequences, and the employer can then revoke their visa. What a great service! /s
“State-sanctioned criminal violence”?
No, sorry Mr. Modi, you’re thinking of Gujarat in 2002, not Canada in 2023.
Where was that? I hadn’t heard of it, but I fully believe you.
This summary leaves out that said “cease and desist” notices also threatened execution for noncompliance — at the same time as the head cultist was urging her followers to kill nurses administering vaccines, prompting her followers to post pictures of their firearm arsenals.
It is only a matter of time before the cultists kill someone.
Yes — there’s no such thing as an armoured vehicle that can’t be knocked out, but there is such thing as one that can be knocked out without its crew burning alive.
Sounds about right. The internal narrative is to actually tell people what to think, the external just the “firehose of falsehood” to divide and distract.
Potemkin military.
True. I’d say this disinfo angle is targeted towards apathetic/low info RU public (which is most of them frankly) and western sympathisers in denial about how ruthless the regime really is.
They’re just going to blame it on the Ukrainians, and/or “the collective west” to muddy the waters
It’s genuinely great to hear that that wasn’t the overall goal or intention of the idea.
That said, I think it also does need to be acknowledged that there absolutely were prominent influencers on social media who preached HAES literally - as in, posting videos vehemently declaring the doctors are lying to you and obesity is actually perfectly healthy.
I guess as with many other things, it’s a case of the extreme outliers (who in this case, as you say, didn’t even get the point) getting the most attention and spoiling things for the sane people.
