It's funny that the chud line is to question the loyalty of the festival goers, when they're going to bat for an organisation that murdered three British citizens last year.
Republicans are going to republican. Democrats at least have the pretense of representing their constituents interests.
It's like if an oil tanker that takes ten miles to stop was bearing down on a small passenger ferry. Sure it might be the fault of the tanker's crew but they can't stop and they won't stop. The democrats driving the ferry have the capacity to easily save everyone on board and simply refuse to do so. That's why people shout at them.
Doesn't that just describe 80 years of US foreign policy?
The pothole thing has to be one of the dumbest arguments.
There's no problems with reporting potholes.
The delays in fixing them are because councils are skint and have to plan when best to fix them to minimise impact.
You buy several matching sets and can't match the lids to the tubs so you buy more sets and make the problem worse.
Just checking if Lemmy supports image responses

I thought terrorism laws were designed to prevent jury trials.
Isn't part of the reason these laws exist to suspend the sixth amendment for "national security" reasons.
Solar panels on cars are thought of the wrong way. The responses in this thread really demonstrate that.
It's true that they're kind of pointless on EVs, because they're never going to supply enough power to not need a proper charge, which makes the panels redundant.
Where they could be useful is hybrids, sold as something that makes the engine 10-20% more efficient.
It's half way to self management.
Software exists in a world that kind of exists outside of property. Cynics like to think that Agile got big because as some kind of fad because the kids love it, but the reality is that fully hierarchical models just cannot keep up with self organising teams.
The old model - the model that most of the rest of the world of work still uses - simply cannot compete on a level playing field where the means of production (a cheap computer) are available to all. A landowner can stop you building your own house, but Microsoft can't really stop you building your own software, so they still have to put in work to collect rent.
Imagine what we could accomplish as a species if the goals and distribution of resources were also decided democratically.
I hate that "soviet MLs" is used as a label here, because the failure of the USSR is down to the undermining of the soviets.
The economy being centralised and then destroyed is why post-USSR states are disfunctional, and it's the same vulnerability the EU faces.
Were the economies actually managed democratically, they might have been able to weather the storm instead of getting fucked over by the world bank and IMF.
Instead of cooperating to sort out their affairs post-empire, countries are expected to play monopoly and somehow magically not have the same end game as monopoly.
Do you think "still love the truck though" is like the Tesla owner's version of "in Minecraft" for people that don't want Elon Musk to personally/legally harass them?
The underlying tech was designed with HD video conferencing in mind. It'll happily max out your connection. As long as the server has enough bandwidth to upload one stream and the average peer can handle uploading one stream it's theoretically infinitely scalable
