I also found it really annoying. Fortunately it could be turned off by going to Settings in the sidebar -> "Look and feel" -> and set "Preset for swipe gesture" to disabled.

This isn't the end to the case, the provisional measures are supposed to be temporary until they make a decision on the case

I don't think you realise what the current state of a lot of Europe is, it is not good. Capitalism is bringing a lot of people into poverty and ruining the nature.

It's socialism or barbarism.

Studies have been done on this, and lower speeds correspond with less noise pollution.

She has been running a blog called Skepchick since 2005, and is a youtuber focused on feminism and critical thinking. Although she doesn't talk about marxism, she is an outspoken anti-capitalist.

Based on the stuff mentioned in Rebecca Watson's video on it, I'd say it's probably best to skip it. Video: https://youtu.be/avWOnnhjxM4

While not cheap, headphones with active noise cancelling is much better for public transport imo. E.g. the Sony WH-1000XM4 would set you back $350, which is a bit, but probably much cheaper than a car

Further research is needed, but when digested casein breaks down into casomorphin which might bind to opioid receptors and release dopamine.

I agree with you. I was just saying what seems to be the logic of the EU in this letter: https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un-new-york/eu-explanation-vote-%E2%80%93-un-general-assembly-draft-resolution-combating_en

Which basically is "We oppose Nazism, but Russia uses fighting Nazism as part of its justification for the war in the Ukraine, so if we vote yes it'll look like we support Russia in the war".

Which I think is bullshit of course.

They would rather be considered fascists for refusing to oppose nazism than hypocrites for supporting a Russian draft resolution 💀

 

While many citizens of the former Yugoslavia miss the lower prices and global recognition, others warn against over-romanticising the Tito era

A common narrative during these years was that Tito had, for nearly half a century, forced different peoples to live together against their wishes.

Of course they have to find some angle to convince people that a good thing is bad actually!

As someone who hasn't seen either of the versions, but just seen what people wrote about it. The live-action Mulan succeeds in her endeavours because she is the chosen one with magical powers, while in the original she did so through hard work and being clever.

 

The units of society [...] can deprive all such antisocial adults of political rights (except the old, the sick, and those dependent on private or public subsidy)

Freedom to live [...] even at the expense of individuals who voluntarily tolerate one’s exploitation.

[Whoever] wants to live in society must earn his living by his own labor, or be treated as a parasite who is living on the labor of others.

-Mikhail Bakunin, Revolutionary Catechism

If society were only relieved of the waste and expense of keeping a lazy class, and the equally great expense of the paraphernalia of protection this lazy class requires, the social tables would contain an abundance for all, including even the occasional lazy individual.

-Emma Goldman, Anarchism: What It Really Stands For

[The] most tempting delicacies ought to be kept for the sick and feeble – especially for the sick. Say that if there are only five brace of partridge in the entire city, and only one case of sherry, they should go to sick people and convalescents.

-Peter Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

-Karl Marx, Critique of the Gotha Programme

[Humanity] will inevitably be confronted with the question of advancing further from formal equality to actual equality, i.e., to the operation of the rule "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".

-V.I. Lenin, The State and Revolution
