If you're religious, you pay tax. If you're not, you can opt out. https://www.welcome-hub-germany.com/blog/church-tax-germany

Thanks for sharing. Indeed no hole, but definitely refillable. I agree, It's not the most user friendly option, but still an option.

I've never seen a "disposable" lighter that didn't have a gas filling hole.

And every one forgave him, and even voted him into power.

All because South African Apartheid was fundamentally evil.

People forgave him because he actually changed his tactics, asked forgiveness and sued for peace instead of revenge.

“People tend to measure themselves by external accomplishments, but jail allows a person to focus on internal ones, such as honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, generosity and an absence of variety,” Mandela once said, according to a quote at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. “You learn to look into yourself.”

What's going on in the middle east is horrible. But, let's not change history to fit your narrative.

The U.S. is not part of the ICC.

If we're already talking about spelling mistakes... It's Enshittification.

I guess I just found your wording strange. Plenty of people are interested in different cultures. People read Greek and Norse mythology, Japanese or Slavic folklore without even being from those parts of the world. Do you think that the Conjuring or Exorcist are only scary if you're Christian? Or the Ring is only relatable if you're Shinto.. Or you can only enjoy Thor movies if you're pagan..?

Why is it only scary for Muslims?

Are you going to apply the same rules to pedal assist bikes? Or are you planning to single out e-scooters only, like tfl did for some reason?

Acoustic bikes? What kind of witchery is that? Do you sing to unlock them or do they play music while you ride?

40% of that figure is international students, who tend to be wealthy and live in student accommodation which wouldn't house regular people anyways. They also tend to leave after they finish their studies. So that would leave us closely with the recommended number of building new houses. People should really find another excuse to blame immigrants or bother reading the details of the stats they use. (Also, ONS and other think tanks said that this number is not going to continue going forward.)

I like what Mike Lynch (famous leader of one of UKs biggest union) said during his Novara media interview.. I'll paraphrase from memory. "Back in the day, your retirement was secured with your job. You'd get a pension from your employer when you get to retirement age. Then Thatcher and Reagan happen.. Now days, there's no security, benefits or high salaries anymore. So people do whatever they need to do to secure their retirement. And if it's buying another property, so be it."

Quick edit: before anyone gets angry. Neither myself or him want this to continue. It's shit and we should fight to bring back dignity to people's careers. But until that's sorted, I think it's ethical to care for your own and your family's survival.
