Meanwhile, we in Europe have American Billionaires constantly attacking any government or legal body that enforces their own national laws, by threatening to sue and throwing childish insults for suppressing free speech.

Many of us haven't ever had legal freedom of speech in our constitutions, but the reality is we have a lot more than Americans right now.

Inevitable but stupid.

If they choose to still vote for more of this madness and the obvious damage to themself economically and socially, they're clearly in denial and there's little you or I can do to change their mind.

Nice map, very clear.

For anyone wondering, one of the biggest reasons for changing fertility is the education of women. There's a provable trend that better educated women have fewer babies.

Globally observed data is that: Women with little or no formal education tend to have more children. Women with secondary education have fewer. Women with university level education have the fewest children on average. So if you compared this map with one of women's education, I suspect there'd be a fairly close match.

That education also comes at a general trend of improved living standards for the whole population, so improving countries have an overall lessening fertility and the improved education is a product of that.

(I'm not an expert by any means - I'm just someone who fell down a rabbithole some time ago and spent an evening trying to understand this correlation. )

""Keep in mind, the alleged comments are made by an IT person, who has nothing to do with how we make our food."

That's from the spokesperson for the company, ignoring that the comments were from the C-Level originally, and simultaneously seeking to discredit the source. (And casually insulting all IT people)

Given the allegation is about a toxic culture, that's not a good statement for the company to make.

So, just like any vehicle that downloads software updates from its manufacturer?

If they do that, the manufacturer can add whatever they like to specific vehicles, including kill switches.

Needing to put food on your table is a good motivator.

Also - you might want to check something - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_and_open_source Even allowing for the three Es, MS has employed a number of people who worked exclusively on FOSS projects.

Beat me to it. This unskippable sequence has stopped me replaying Skyrim at least twice.

Frankly, it's a bloody weird thing to do unless medically required. Leave him be.

But... Hasn't imgur been SFW only for a while now?

Maybe they got sent one of offcom's shitty letters and are kneejerking to prove a point. Bit poor there's been no statement from them before doing this.

You should contact a local history group or museum. That could be a significant find - it' clearly old, possibly thousands of years.
