So that healthcare and education, among other things, are more equitable. Taxes are for subsidising a public good.

Reverse irredentism! Now what about historically German lands? From the Maas to the Memel…
Great comment. Refreshing to see some intelligence here from time to time, like the nice sour bready tang of kvass!
Purer ≠ cooler
Fucking American class culture and anyone who’s not an ignorant idiot is “a nerd”. Get fucked, The World
And fear overpowers intelligence yet again.
Occupational hazard. Doesn’t mean said engineer isn’t owed compensation though. On the contrary.

Glenn was named after Gdansk, not the other way round 🤘
So you want people to know you use GNU+Linux, and at the same time believe you have important “private information” you’re likely to disclose while recovering from a general anaesthetic?
Ask an expert: Is Arugula a super food?
Jesus, clickbait language in comments is worrying
Just a slightly higher barrier to entry really filters out the low-quality ignorant/belligerent/unconstructive posters, don’t you think? The relative absence of useless posts made either by bots or unhelpful users is refreshing too. It’s not perfect but it’s a huge step in the right direction.
I bet God’s dick is so big that when He wears protection it’s called the Kongdom of God
One guess as to who gets to define the meaning of the term antisemitism, too: “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Censorship of antigovernment criticism is common in China, North Korea, Russia and other authoritarian states, which include Israel and the United States of America.
I rewatched it recently and became aware of how much I’d missed the first time, which made it a rich experience up there with some of the best films of any genre. It’s pretty striking. Sometimes a universally respected piece of cinema doesn’t grab me either though - a horror example that comes to mind is The Exorcist.
It’s a VERY WEIRD place for a fire!
Check out Kill List
A lot of contemporary horror is psychological, sometimes with one or two gory/violent/jump scare scenes. If you like that, watch recent ones like Talk to Me, Relic or the Babadook (all Aussie incidentally).
Hereditary is probably the best horror of the past decade, and before that, my 21st century favourite was Kill List. But there were so many more excellent horrors, slashers, psychological thrillers, and ghostly dramas last century.
Night of the Living Dead invented the zombie genre and is still probably my favourite movie of all time. Dawn of the Dead skewers consumerism and is similar but in lurid colour. The slasher craze of the 80s started with Halloween in '79 and continued with Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and the many sequels from those franchises.
Other good ones in no particular order: High Tension aka Switchblade Romance, Dead Snow, Eden Lake, It Follows, Green Room, Hush, The Strangers, Martyrs, and if you’re really looking to punish yourself AND read subtitles, check out the works of Gaspar Noe, especially Irreversible. Deeply disturbing. Enjoy!
And that’s why I don’t like cricket.
