On the non-state-security side:

Not anything near what it’s like in the US. There are no incentives. “If you decide to blow the whistle you had better be financially independent”

“Rome wasn’t built in a day”

Has an entirely different message to me. It’s often used as a reminder to be patient, not to loose your temper, etc.

On the day Rome was founded Romulus killed his brother Remus and marked out the city of Rome, construction starts. This is my initial reaction.

The next thing the Romans, a group of men (probably criminals), did after founding Rome was to raid their neighbours and kidnap their women. Rome then makes war for the better part of a thousand years, eventually subjugating the known world.

I think it’s better used as a reminder subjugation starts out in small measures. “Parliament just passed antiterrorism laws, I’m sure they’re to protect us” “Rome wasn’t built in a day”

Start? Did they stop?

Still confused. They’re sinking shafts at an angle into rock, filling with water, the pressure towards the bottom breaks the rock.

And then? How is the water drained, the shaft re- stabilised, etc

Start your own business which has low overheads.

Worst comes to worst you loose a little on insurance and paper advertising

Tortilla chips, can of baked beans, half jar of salsa, microwave, top with hummus

Savory oatmeal.

Rolled oats with cold soy milk. Microwave 2-3 mins. Add chilli oil, spice paste, or ramen seasoning.

Tasty and not unhealthy. The plan is to prevent unhealthy food leading to a negative feedback loop.

Agreed, we’ve put it off for a while but it’s only a matter of time before the comprises and contradictions again lead us down the path to fascism.

An optimist might say it gives us more chances, but bed rest might only leave us weaker.

They’ve been asking us not to track them with cookies, so we’re tracking them with fingerprints

Surely the gdpr has something to say about this. Or did the US forget the rest of the wold exists again?

Have you tried aliexpress?

The last urn I got was from there. The crematorium was selling the exact same one for 10x the price.

Not sure about Zelda theme. You could try finding something that’s not an urn and call it an urn?

Sorry for your loss and good luck on your journey ahead

That’s what’s so concerning about the case. The USA tried to persecute an Australian citizen working out of the EU for publishing information.

As he is not a US citizen he was not able to use the X amendment to free speech.

As a terrorist they could torture and kill him without covering anything up.

He didn’t leak, he published.

If precedent was set they could kidnap anyone from sovereign countries based on US law

I think medical advancement could be as dramatic this century was in the last. However, patent law is likely to hold us back

This comment seems contentious. Are the differences in opinion political? An ideological opposition?

• Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC)
• China, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC)

Thank you for your comment, it provided more context than the article

I can see why they might think that. Churches bred and centeralised community. But it can happen anywhere, in Australia, where we have very few churches, communities center around sports clubs.

IMO, materialism and modernism has changed the populous’ focus away from community, shifting to the values of capital (which serves only capital) and forcing everyone into a 40 hour work week. While financial independence from a majoritively abusive male cast, a female member of each household could maintain social connections to their community and share in unpaid labour with households nearby. [To disuade docwhistle; the neo liberal solution to this is a 4 day week (not tradwives).]

There is simply no way to have societal mental health without community.

However, people who feel safe and supported by their communities are more difficult to manipulate and dominate, they are harder to proffit from as they pool their resources and keep their money within their community. As such, I do not think we will see a solution to this problem under the current system.

I love you mate, hope you have a good day
