The Trolley Problem meme originates from a philosophical thought experiment that presents an ethical dilemma: whether to pull a lever to divert a runaway trolley, killing one person instead of five. Initially proposed by philosopher Philippa Foot in 1967, it has evolved into various memes that exaggerate the moral choices involved, often depicting ridiculous scenarios to highlight the complexity of ethical decision-making.
I think the strongest brand America has ever had is capitalism™. And I don’t think anything would change in the entertainment industry if America was openly autocratic. I think the US is organized that way for a very long time, just with a veneer of democracy to keep the people somewhat happy.
As a European, I can’t see any difference. It is true that Bush junior - just like his father - shamelessly exploited his supremacy to bring Iraq under his control, but I don’t see what has changed since then.
That’s right. And the US is well on its way. It is unfortunately almost an exact copy of historical events.
Unfortunately, Trump will do exactly that regardless.
Oh, Prince Andrew again. Well, this news is at least a little more flattering - or rather not quite as damning - compared to the last few times I’ve heard about him. Seems like a really great guy with very reliable business partners and kind-hearted friends, this prince.
C’mon, we can’t expect the coroner to blow the whistle on the actual cause of death. If we did, there would soon be no coroners left.
Maybe that one?

Can you please write a review on Google or something? I would love to know how you would rate the Pelican’s performance in your upcoming battle.
It’s crazy that such measures are necessary at all. Why are today’s fascists still such fans of book bans? Because Hitler thought it was great?
Any girl who would touch him we would think could lick the arse of a diseased hangman.

German guy here: What’s with the cult of personality around exceedingly unattractive and politically unappealing people? I’m asking for my grandfather.
I know, but why should someone other than Jones pay up? He has obviously put aside a lot of money that is due to those affected - he will make even more in the next trump turn. If he gets away with that and shows that it’s worthwhile to run a business as immoral as his, others will do exactly the same.
Edit: nvm, I forgot that Trump still owes the state of New York half a billion dollars for massive financial fraud that he will never pay because the US citizens elected him the next president. Well, too bad the US legal system doesn’t prosecute anyone personally - especially not with criminal charges. Sorry, I always wrongly assume that the US has a semi-functioning legal system. My bad.
I hope they didn’t pay more than a sack of onions.
Yes, and fuck this shit in particular:
A resolution adopted by the German Bundestag last week on curbing antisemitism and protecting Jewish life could negatively impact civil society and free expression in the country. (…) There are major concerns in Germany about the resolution, including from civil society, academics, Jewish artists and intellectuals, and lawyers. There are fears it will open up new avenues for abusive enforcement, further chill free expression, peaceful assembly, and free association, and risk stigmatizing migrant communities, while downplaying homegrown antisemitism in German society including from the far right.

Sincerely, another German.
It’s probably just a simple HTML tel link that is supposed to open a phone app so that you don’t need to dial. But macOS and iOS opens these links with FaceTime if that is configured as your standard “phone” app. So it’s not the website that opens an app with camera permission, it’s the OS.
This can be quite annoying for web developers because HTML alone cannot prevent FaceTime from being opened instead of a normal phone app, as the OS dictates what happens when a tel link is clicked. This can easily give the impression that the camera is being accessed illegitimately, even if this is not actually intended. That’s probably the case here. I can’t imagine anyone expecting their customers to book a table in a restaurant via video call - that would be stupid on many levels.
I’m always impressed by how little understanding businesses have for basic online stuff, even when it’s very important to their business.
Neato, thanks! Now I am the master of life and death! Very cool that you can also see how others have decided.
