I get it, you're okay with it. And I would allow then to continue funding it if their environmental conscience demanded it. And if they sailed there or even flew economy I'd still allow them to pull a trigger themselves. But I think overall this idea that rich and most likely Caucasian asshole money is required to keep conservation projects in Africa going smacks of a school of post colonial thinking that I don't subscribe to. Africans are not solely motivated by asshole money to preserve their ecosystems.

How is that legal?

Those considerations are always a trade-off. How much government should interfere with an industry, especially one that's been around since we monkeys climbed down from the trees? There isn't just the plight of alcoholics to consider. An advertisement ban would affect business and jobs. It would take a considerable chunk out of the advertising market that when gone world affect media, an already struggling industry. And AA doesn't quite have the deep pockets for lobbying. It's legal because it's complicated, not because it's just.

I happen to agree with you here; ads for alcohol should be banned along with those for any sort of gambling and prescription medication while I'm at it. This "drink responsibly" campaign is an effort to make it harder for lawmakers to decide. I'm reminded of that Soviet Union quote and i'm paraphrasing: we know that they know that we know that they know they're lying yet the lying continues.

One day at a time.

Hunting is part of conservation efforts. Hunting tourism is not necessary. Rich assholes flying around the world in private jets just at that they can shoot at a different type of animal than at home is questionable.

And I know they weren't hunting elephants. It's just if I were charged by a herd of elephants and I happened to hold a rifle in my hand, I'd probably be tempted to make use of it in self defense. And the animals could have hurt themselves while acting in self defense from their POV as well.

Keep in mind that you are talking about a German supermarket chain and you want to protest a company headquartered in Israel. Their reaction may lack rationality.

Do what you think is right. Just be aware of the possible consequences.

Let's hope we don't have to find out;)

The overlap mainly comes from using horizontal bands plus a triangular element, which are fairly common flag components.

Tbh I don't think this is a great explanation. So you accidentally landed on this design? Common components, yes. In this combination of an excessively high number of colors, of stripes, and a triangular feature on the hoist side, no. Your design explanation and assigned meanings sound incredible to me. By which I mean I don't buy that's how you came up with this. And if I'm mistaken it's still a bad design for a superfluous movement.

This is a cosmetic alteration of the busy (design-wise) pride flag. Which from a good flag, bad flag design point of view is also not great. But it was never meant to be adjudicated under those rules and serves a different purpose. In a way, it's busy design serves it as being immediately recognizable, even at distance.

I can see the pride flag being used as a visual marker at a protest or on a flagpole of a company that wants to seem inclusive. I cannot see any reason why this movement of temporary celibacy would need a flag. Much less why it would have to lift its design principle from pride. And personally also why this is movement in the first place.

It's more likely mealy mouthed Europeans would declare the end of NATO, let Canada fend more or less for itself, and donate thoughts and prayers in abundance. Too bad Canada isn't part of the EU! With its defense article it will rise from B team to prime time.

Yes, the US would lose a lot if its bases in Europe, though probably (and sadly) not all. But this sort of obvious strategic rake to step on hasn't halted the epic blunder in Iran. Why should it stop stable genius here?

My thoughts exactly. The skull looks so clean, the uniform in such good condition.

Google has no honor!

Whether it's plausible that a sexy blonde nurse would love Christ, ICE, and flashing her boobs for strangers is secondary to the fact that many, many people want to believe it is.

That's such a well written burn.

I'm torn. On the one hand this is like the third useful thing I've read that so-called AI can do. If the tech can only be used to help folks with disabilities, help medical research and diagnoses, and defraud MAGAs, I'd stop being so mad about it. On the other hand, idiots aren't only available in that sociopolitical group and the affluent princes of Nigeria locked in unfortunate inheritance lawsuits are surely planning a surprising comeback with this tech.

I'd question the success that "millions of followers" implies. I think the majority of people who follow such a profile on Insta will know it's fake. Maybe not initially but they will figure this out. There is s tendency for people on the left side of the political spectrum to scratch each other's eyes out over narcissisms of minor differences. On the opposing side, people are more likely to stick together no matter what. We are about ten years in to the MAGA movement and we are just now seeing worrying cracks in an otherwise often comically unified great leader facade. So even if a user figured out this boob flashing nurse is fake, they won't unfollow because the ends justify the means to spread the message. And continuing to follow is not an indication of abject stupidity but another win in the column of owning the libtards for them. And even among the paying morons on the OnlyFans knock-off, there will be users who know this is fake but our Indian medical student is scratching their itch. People jack it to anime as well. People want to marry the Eiffel Tower.

To Meta’s credit, however, emily_hart.nurse’s life on Instagram was relatively brief. In February, Emily’s account was officially banned after Instagram flagged it for “fraudulent” activity, though her Facebook account is still active.

Another piece of circumstantial evidence that Meta is just ugh.
