We don’t need musks shit over here, but I am really worried about next elections. Labour is unsurprisingly not doing much, but if we slide back into racist politics, that be much, much worse…

She needs to dye her hair for the 130% bonus

That looks really comfy, I want to get one for my cat… To ignore 😂😂😭

How on earth did this get approved by labour? This is crazy! They were pushing for publicly owned energy company as part of their manifesto and now this? Well this is going to go down even steeper hill

So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn’t know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It’s not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don’t keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don’t fall in line.

I suppose they are also offering some kind of guided meditation as well as meals? I mean yeah it sort of sounds expensive, but also you do have designer handbags and jewellery that gets ridiculous prices.

Anyway yeah I stopped doing meetup for a long time and absolutely detest SAAS business models of alot of digital vendors too.

They are just a bit early with their Xmas presents!

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!

Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.

Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction, I guess it depends if the deposit is basically to stop people reserving the place and backing out last minute, so they organiser gets to keep the money. Its like a non refundable hotel?

Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction

It’s about $110 per night, with included food and organised events of some kind. While I don’t know if this is expensive or not it doesn’t seem unreasonable to charge money for food and board of this particular event? Isn’t meetup just handling bookings and payments here? Or am I missing something.

Saying that I stopped using meetup probably a decade ago. So not sure where it’s at these days but from the other rooster mentioned, meetup+ sounds like crap twitter move

The system is only broken because humans are dicks to other humans

In my complete lack of knowledge of SK politics it appears to be an unpopular president accused of corruption trying to stay in power to avoid… The said corruption chargers

The perspective aligns with what’s being reported in various pro-Ukraine telegram channels, a lot of aid that’s been promised is simply not (hopefully soon) arriving.

Without looking at posters history, he is kinda right (about the gas guzzling, not fear mongering)

EU had years to start to diversify/start goverment run energy supply from a) polluting and b) “come on, look what laws they were implementing at home” Russia.

Could have put two and two together and realise that funding Putin might not be the best idea…

But no, let’s just keep buying things from obvious dictators…

Lammy, mate you were saying right things… And then you got into a position of power… What happened 😔

You just described my previous job 😞😭😞
