Not voting or voting third party is letting other people decide.
Biden is a bad candidate. He’s too old and supports genocide in Palestine.
Trump is not fit for office. He’s too ols. He’s mentally deranged. He supports genocide in Palestine, fascism in USA, NATO being at war with Russia etc etc.
Voting least bad is a poor choice to make but there is a very clear answer.
I feel sorry for her, as it’s not a black and white case of inappropriate behavior.
Remember Hezbollah is not hamas. Lebanon is a different country.
Yes, but look at bud light. Boycotts can be hugely damaging. If people start boycotting Intel, Dell HP and other suppliers will happily offer amd instead. Similarly, companies with policies of not buying from suppliers with slave labour or supporting genocide may decide Intel falls in that category now. They do it as a PR exercise but ultimately it’s consumer sentiment that drives it.
Intel will need to decide if the sweetener is worth the risk. From war interrupting supply. From boycotts. From brand damage.
Or they are worried that Intel will pull out due to risk of consumer boycott and want to push the deal through.
You can, or could, in Venezuela and Iran. Europe trades in oil all the time, but the petrodollar reigns supreme for international trade with oil producing nations. That’s not in question. The point is how much that will impact on international trade relations, now and in the future.
As currencies diversify, as power needs diversify and as stability and increased trade between all nations increases, the majority of trade may still remain in dollars, but that provides less power for America than historically. Oil is less important and the traded currency is also less important. This also improves with improved digital process of payments and faster shipping routes. It’s assumed that is part of the reason Russia values the arctic, for shipping routes.
There may be limited appetite for more ruoee trades now, but a trial balloon is always the first step and there may be more on an ad hoc basis. India may start to trade with Iran or Russia in increasing volume but wish to have rupee trade. A large customer like that may find that one supplier plays ball.
If the euro doesn’t really threaten US as a reserve currency, a BRICS one certainly won’t. As economies diversify and become more intersectional, as has happened since ww2, the currency fluctuations are less, with increased trade. Then currency used matters less and risk is lower for both sides when non us currency is used. So, I think dollar as a currency reserve will naturally reduce over time but it’s not disappearing any time soon.
I still miss the fingerprint reader on the back of the Nexus 5x. And CyanogenMod added the ability to swipe it to see notification shade which was great.
The position is just a natural place to place your finger when holding a phone so the unlock was more automatic rather than a deliberate action being required.
Oh no.that’s disappointing.
The problem with blocking a community is if you block the one that eventually takes off, you miss out. I am just accepting it for now and assume it will sort itself out.
Another option would be to upvote one and downvote the other, to help speed the process up.
Well, it does see value of revenue generated by sharing. Lemmy is not for profit and has no advertising.
It’s not that it matters. It’s that if an acronym is new, it makes sense to clarify its meaning until it’s clear to all.
It still can be. However, it’s often just a demonstration rather than a protest.
The king doesn’t reset the government and him interfering with our politics would probably lead to more support for us to be a republic.
There is a balance between authoritarianism and sensible regulation. China is too far one way, the USA is too far the other way. Freedom comes from the abilitiy for more people to live their lives as they please.
Protesting is important. Protecting civil rights is important. Australia goes too far on quashing disriptive protest, but is tolerant of peaceful organised protest. Disruptive protest is more effective.
Lol, no. That’s a very USA and guns culture centred view. Australia has weapons. We just don’t allow everyone to have them willy nilly. You need a licence and to properly store them. We see it as sensible and lament the deaths of all the USA children who die for so called freedom. It’s much more free here.
However this is a worrying sign of overreach. Luckily the USA has no such laws, like the patriot Act or the current proposal to register your address against online accounts. You know, to protect the children you’re all so fond of killing.
Don’t you need to get paid to make bank? I thought he stiffs all the staff. I know lawyers are more careful now, but the good ones don’t touch him anyway. The maga ones are true believers and aren’t in it for the money.
Saying that, I think a lot of the grifting is to pay for legal bills, so it would be interesting to see how much is going to legal bills.
I loved aqua. Barbie girl is obviously relevant with the movie out, so it’s reminded me. However doctor Jones was also great for me at the time. I then went online and downloaded all their songs. It pretty much introduced me to mp3s. As an adult I still like it for the nostalgia and some of the lyrics are quite funny. Life in plastic, it’s fantastic or You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere.
However, O would not be breaking out the aqua for a party or dinner with friends.
I have a giant playlist of songs that are cheesy and fun but not intolerable to listen to for me, to play when my kids are playing. It’s got vheesey stuff like S club 7, which is probably more embarrassing than aqua, but don’t stop movin is amazing. It also has upside down by the a*teens. I pick songs that have words or concepts that help learn music appreciation or language skills.
Things like ROYGBIV by public service broadcasting teaches colours sits beside Gwen Stefani Hollaback girl teaching spelling.
And b*witched for the denim.
I just can’t answer that
It’s the same in the UK. I live in Australia, having moved from Ireland and living in the UK. It blows their mind when I talk about PR, yet we have it here in the Senate.
