More pirates vs pirates memes when it should be pirates vs executives

This is why groups like Extinction Rebellion are so important. They use non-violent protests to get massive participation and awareness, which in turn gives the politicians an issue they have to take a side on.

But I wonder how long this can last until violent protests, or even revolutions start?

Heatwaves like these always happen in south European countries during July, nothing new>

Ah right. Guess that hottest temp ever recorded last week was nothing to be concerned about.

Just a climate troll doing your thing based on your comment history.

I think the benefits of going high speed rail now would outweigh the negatives of upgrading at a later point.

What are some open source projects that I could use instead?

It doesn't have to be this way

Well said and yea if you find a "unbiased source" for news, you've only fallen for their bias.

Be critical even of what interests you, and read things you don't like as well.

I have a few since I'm a historian:

The revolutions of 1848 Europe, particularly Berlin or Paris. The atmosphere in that year was confusing, conflicting, and explosive. People wanted generally better lives, and put their own on the line to see it happen in numbers that shock us today.

The fall of the T'ang dynasty and the early Song dynasty. I'd love to see if the Naito Hypothesis holds up as a viewer of that time and space.

The Atlantic Revolutions between 1770s to 1800. So American, Haitian, French, etc. The birth of nationhood (in Europe), a new consciousness found its footing, and what it meant to have liberty, to be human, and to be unfree were changing.

And Japan in the 1930's. How fascism developed in the country. It's a question that's big in Japanese history, and not so clear today.

Just want to drop this here because of how ridiculous these entertainment cartels can be:

Piracy aides in creating sales.

Up to 3% more for movies in theaters: https://hbr.org/2020/10/the-digital-piracy-dilemma

Agree 100% and I've been seeing this "debate" in other instances and communities recently

Piracy is moral and ethical. Small businesses are not the targets. I would download a car, I would download a better life if I could

I think they really botched Worf's development as a father. Or maybe this was intentional?
