Apple bows to Kremlin pressure to remove leading VPNs from Russian AppStore
  • I can understand smuggled hardware, but it’s not like Russians can buy their localized App Store in India.. it would be much more helpful if they weren’t running it there, as the smuggled iPhones would be just bricks

  • What's the rule for which 'national identity adjective' suffix to use?
  • The German people, as a people, started as the unification of the Germanic tribes. The unified tribe called itself the tribe of all men, Alle Männer in modern German. The history of those times is narrated by romans and Greeks so we have a romanised version of that name, alamanni.

  • Heather Mills Tells UN Officials To 'Eat Vegan' If They Care About The Planet
  • Of course they are that’s not the point. The price of meat is artificially deflated by subsidies, while the price of (for example) soy is artificially inflated by the food companies selling it as a novelty with immense margins.

    It takes >20kg of soy to make 1kg of meat. There is no real reason, then, for a soy burger to be as or more expensive than a beef burger. Leave plant subsidies where they are, cut meat subsidies - suddenly it becomes financially sensible to eat that soy directly instead of through a cow, as it should be.

    Edit: I realise I expressed myself poorly in the previous comment. By “vegan stuff” I meant processed stuff like burgers, not whole food plants.

  • Heather Mills Tells UN Officials To 'Eat Vegan' If They Care About The Planet
  • “Without the money” - that’s the key. Meat is heavily subsidised, vegan stuff is not. Even though cows eat soy. Vegan stuff is more expensive than meat only because of fucked up market systems, nothing that can’t be fixed by adjusting regulations.

  • When you're writing a song, how do you know it isn't just a song you've heard before but don't recognise?
  • Nothing is ever truly original, everything you create is a remix of things you encountered after they are processed by your subconscious. And that’s ok. Even if your song will end up to be very similar to another one it will be your own spin on the musical “idea”. Go for it

  • Police beatings of pro-Palestinian schoolchildren spark outrage in Italy
  • It’s a bit more nuanced than that. Meloni is from the istitutionalised fascists, who are indeed generally Zionist. The grassroots fascist movements such as forza nuova are generally pro Palestine, and have been for decades. Just like in every category, you find both.

  • Brexit Britain has 'significantly underperformed' other advanced economies, Goldman Sachs says
  • I don’t get people who react like you do.

    Are you angry about brexit? Do you want to undo it? The first step is talking about it, admitting what a failure it was. Then we can build a sentiment for rejoining. As long as admitting failure is frowned upon - even by those who didn’t want to leave, ready to ridicule those who did - there can be no moving on.

    Why do you think rejoin hasn’t happened yet, if not for a sense of pride?

  • Trump will pull US out of NATO if he wins election, ex-adviser warns
  • Thanks for the info. I admit my experience was based on the Italian greens who are irrelevant and generally left leaning, which in Italy means Russophile like anything left of the dems, and on what I know of the German greens, which is that they lobbied for getting rid of clean energy and ramping up the use of coal / gas / petrol, all Russian imports.

  • Alternative Facts
  • That’s cope though.. as they are not going to get nearly enough votes to win, those candidates are irrelevant. It’s stupid but that is how it is. A vote for them is functionally speaking the same as not voting. Like yeah sure you’ll have “sent a message”, but it’s still a virtual vote for the winner. And you don’t get to complain about him: you could have helped by voting for the other one.

    It sucks that you have to choose the lesser of only two evils (assuming your vote even counts, because lol electoral college) but that is the American way.
