"At least he is more civilised"

To me, that makes him scarier. He can keep a mask on while stabbing you in the back. Trump, at least, is pretty open with who and what he is.

Hindenburg and others thought Hitler wasn't scary at first. They thought they could control him. Look how that turned out. Civilised doesn't mean moral. It doesn't mean he'll do right for the county and people. It just means he knows his airs and graces when they're needed.

As Backlog said, there's no such thing as a good Nazi.

I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom's Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.

And the carrot plant looks near identical to Giant Hogsweed because they're both in the same family. One has a delicious carrot underneath and will do you no harm, you can even eat the green tops. The other will cause you severe burns even just by brushing against it. The plant itself doesn't even burn you, it destroys the skin in such a way that sunshine is what burns you.

"A group of four of us around level 80"

Level 50 was the original maximum. You've completed the game. Presumably by now you've unlocked everything, of course it's easier. Try starting from level 1 again and see how you feel.

As a modern Brit, this list is just fucking weird. It's only a very specific type of middle class English that would relate to this.

Signal only delivers a promise that their E2EE will be enough to make the information govts get useless.

Signal do more than just a promise. Their encryption techniques are available to see. You can confirm if it's enough protection for you or not. Telegram are the ones making a promise. I'm not saying they've broken their promise (as evidenced by the arrest).

But it is just a promise when Telegram still has the ability to see messages. Signal can't see messages and therefore don't have to rely on a promise that can be broken (willingly or not). They instead rely on encryption, which appears to be far stronger than any promise could be.

For all we know, this is performative and the French government already has access to Telegram's servers and can see everything. If they have access to Signal's, oh well, they can't see shit.

Surely you can't be advocating for for-profit private companies to pay for their own mess? What would the shareholders think?

How are we supposed to continue to create wealth for those who don't need any more wealth if we demand they use their own ill gotten gains to clean up their mess?

That doesn't make any sense at all!

What a strange story. First, they call the middle of Lidl infamous, not famous. What's infamous about it?

Second, they do a mass product recall because of one complaint? They claim the product has had stringent testing and has sold for years in Europe without issue, but they recall it due to one complaint?

If the complaint is legitimate, then this is a good thing, but I just can't wrap my head around their claim of stringent testing and crumbling at the merest mention of an issue. I also don't understand what the issue with the igloos really is, they appear no less dangerous than a fence or hedge
