The same level of thought as "the universe invented life to experience itself".
Welcome to ProtonMail, a Trump supporting service. He can't catch a break, can he?
The US sanctioning people who could request that US officials go to jail is about as dishonest a move they can make. They don't want a judiciary who speaks against them. The US is run by crooks.
That this was civil? We didn't cuss each other out. If you want me to be less civil, just say so.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. If this initiative makes it or not doesn't matter that much to me. I'm not buying the games impacted by this, nor do I support the game companies that employ the practices.
Have a good one.
I don't think you're reading my comment in its entirety.
So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it's deeper than just this issue.
This is the important bit.
Strongest military in the world can't defeat tariffs.
They abandoned the gold standard because they couldn't mine enough gold to back the amount they were lending.
I was just about to ask "I know that name from somewhere and it has a negative connotation. Do I remember that correctly?". This song gave me the confidence to say "yes".
They are dismissing the value of getting more of those small countries on board. Getting them past the threshold could also have an effect on the gamers in those countries. Who knows what kinds of people may have been untapped. Discarding them as irrelevant is counter-productive.
"Shut up, let the big boys do the lifting". It's the same attitudes that are pervasive throughout the union. The voices of those small countries are important. The line of thinking that small countries don't matter fits very well with the "I'm just one person, so if I don't vote, nobody will care". We should be encouraging our brethren from smaller countries to be part of the democratic process instead of just excluding them. The Union wouldn't listen to the Eastern States after Crimea's invasion in 2014 and shrugged them off during the renewed invasion.
Imagine if we said the same thing about queers. "Nah, we don't need their votes, they're irrelevant, let's focus on the hets".
So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it's deeper than just this issue.
- hey, we need a final push for these countries
- nah, shut up, they are irrelevant, concentrate on these instead
- sarcastic response
- the person telling you to shut up is being helpful, your sarcasm is rude
OK.
All my gamer friends know about this, because I told them. I've told them and I know at least 3 of them that signed.
Once a lead nucleus has transformed by losing protons, it is no longer on the perfect orbit that keeps it circulating inside the vacuum beam pipe of the Large Hadron Collider. In a matter of microseconds it will collide with the walls.
This effect makes the beam less intense over time. So for scientists, the production of gold at the collider is in fact more of a nuisance than a blessing.
sigh* "Send in the janitor to scrape the gold off the walls. Bloody gold is disturbing our equipment again!".
Yeah, nevermind then. Let's do nothing. Might as well just twiddle our thumbs and hope the large countries find another 500k people to sign the initiative. The small countries can be ignored 🤷♂
If "economist failures" were bad, let's turn someone else - left extremists who talk lgbt only (that is secondary to economy or whole non important factor)? or right extremists who promises moneys? Yeah, promises. Very same awesome moneys as whole world sees effects of usa and tariffs right now.
Yep, left parties really do fail at putting the wealth disparity left, right, and center. They get distracted with whatever or issue exists that would be great to be tackled, but not first :/
If you could share the initiative in the lithuanian spaces, that'd be great. Here it is in Lithuanian
So we need consumer complaints too. Pressure has to come from the public. If you see something wrong with a product or company, monopolistic behavior, send in a report to the consumer protection agency of your country.
I don't know if they can sue them, but I hope they can get other companies to join. Fighting google in court is a monumental undertaking for a company. But if they can get the EU consumer protection to sue for them, that would be amazing too.
Far-right populist Slawomir Mentzen, currently polling third, is virulently anti-Ukrainian and supports an "agreement" with Russia's Vladimir Putin ...
The Polish state should really be doing its utmost worst if a Russia sympathiser can poll third. Have they forgotten how many Poles died at the hands of the Soviets?
European Citizens' Initiative to "Stop Destroying Videogames" is missing ridiculously low thresholds.
Why does Australia still have 2 major political parties despite preferential voting?
Could wastewater plants simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water?
The European Central Bank uses Microsoft Forms for their surveys of European citizens
What if this community organised a campaign to reach out to the top 500 or so youtube channels to join peertube?
