The same way the Israeli flag the CDU Bürgermeister put in front of the Rotes Rathaus does.

Wasn’t supporting the victims of Nazi concentration camps a reason of state?

The imbecile in chief didn’t know Puerto Rico is an American Colony. Do you expect him and his lackeys to know about the Virgin Islands?

Android Location manager can get the location without Google Services and there are alternative notification services like ntfy.

EDIT: The location manager is part of the official API and ntfy is available on the play store, so apps using them will also be allowed. Besides, it’s android, you can install alternative app stores or install apps directly. Maybe it’s a good time to teach vulnerable communities how to do it safely, because using Big Tech services is not safe for them.

French Guiana is only part of the EU because it’s part of France, and even then it needs plenty of exceptions to make it work.

Cyprus was already aligned with the rest of Europe in economic laws.

Canada would need to redo half of its laws to join the EU, and Canadian companies would either need to produce two versions of everything or drop the US market altogether.

It’s more realistic to aim for a close bilateral treaty than for membership, at least for next few decades.

NATO requirements are also fully met if the US deems that doing nothing is the necessary action and informs the Security Council.

Article 5 has:

such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force

which might also be thoughts and prayers while Trump is in the White House and

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security

which is basically what was offered to Ukraine.

By the same logic neither does NATO’s article 5.

Even if was an actual prince they would probably use him an expiatory goat to show the royal family takes the law seriously, which is particularly critical with Märtha Louise’s shenanigans already staining their reputation. Him being just the prince’s step-son just makes it a no-brainer.

It depends. Norway avoids sending people to jail willy nilly but it also has provisions to remove dangerous people from society if needed. And the court will probably be under pressure not go easy on him in order to not create even more resentment towards the royal family.

You are thinking about dignity and imagining a British aristocrat drinking tea from a fine porcelain cup with the pinky held up while plotting world domination. That’s the vernacular meaning of dignity.

In the context of human rights, dignity is the natural right of every single person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically.

You don’t infringe it by saying that your government is being managed by incompetent or immoral people. You infringe it when you say women belong in the kitchen and not in the office, or that black people are naturally inferior to white people, or that gay people don’t have right to love who they love, etc.

As a potential independent candidate Cuomo didn’t poll that bad if you don’t consider that:

• the 39% he got are the same as Mamdani, so it would be 50/50 at best
• as a known quantity, this 39% are probably his ceiling
• it still didn’t factor Schumer effectively endorsing Mamdani on social media

Political players are in still in flux, but, for the right wing of the Democratic Party, moving against Mamdani is getting riskier and riskier by the day. Not only would they lose the “unity” argument to mobilize the left close to the midterms, but the risk of suffering an humiliating defeat is too great.

The same way your right to wave your hands ends before they reach other people’s faces, free speech can’t include speech infringing on other people’s dignity (in the legal/philosophical sense).

Regulating speech within this frame is as bad as stopping a bar fight by dragging the instigator away.

FPTP will always lead to dysfunctional parties.

There are at least 3 “natural” parties inside of the Democratic, and at least 2 in the Republicans. At local level primaries can mitigate the issue somewhat, but a national level it will always lead to conflict.

Such brave heroes of the nation, who feel the need to intimidate a six‑year‑old leukaemia patient with a gun. /s

Absolutely evil and pathetically coward.

While he’s not as extreme as Órban, Magyar is also against helping Ukraine defend itself, and he’s being at least ambivalent about letting join the EU and NATO after the war.

We might have a Hungary problem, not a Fidesz problem.

I’m on page 12 and I already saw a false equivalence between human learning and AI training.

Cuomo’s speech seemed to go more into the direction of sitting this one out and wait for a safer way to attempt a comeback.

He’s probably going to do some polling but unless there’s some big advantage for him in a realistic scenario, trying to run and risking losing can damage his political career beyond repair. And yes, on an ideal world it would already be dead beyond saving, but we have the world we have.

If New Yorkers manage to elect a Mayor that’s not a bootlicker it’s a sign that everything has a chance to get better.

What kind of dumb fuck still goes to the US for tourism?
