It's funny because the (far) left vilifies the police and then goes all surprised Pikachu when they turn out to not be manned by far left people.

Idealism in all honor, but you're not gonna change the system without being in control of the current power structures.

As though badges grow on trees

True, if there is no police it's not like cops just appear.

The mafia does.

Interesting that there is a fine difference between humanitarian aid and humanitarian assistance. I doubt many journalist are this strict about their wording, but good to know nonetheless.

Social welfare provides the exact same things (housing, food, medicine) but instead of some disaster zone somewhere it's for disadvantaged citizens in your own country. Of course, the logistics are massively different, as well as the timeframe during which the services are provided. But it's still basically the same thing: help other humans with fundamental necessities.

So I would disagree with your claim that it "isn't the same thing at all". It differs in some details, but the central service and fundamental reasoning is the same.

Additionally, this is total military spending vs foreign humanitarian support. So giving food to children in Gaza counts, but feeding the homeless in your own country does not.

I still agree with the conclusion, but the headline is kinda rage bait.

Actually, apple varieties are preserved via grafting. If you take an apple seed, the tree that will grow from it only has 50% of the DNA of the tree that made the apple. So there is absolutely no guarantee that the taste was preserved across generations.

Bro,we have an international standard for this. To count things you need to use the unit of mole. This town has 9.96323e-21 mol of people in it.

Ah, got it. Misunderstanding on my part.

For what it's worth I think the comment above ours meant this kinda plug: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug

Type F is also called CEE 7/3 (the socket) and CEE 7/4 (the Plug). Is that what you mean?

I am watching a lot of YouTube. Premium would cost 13€/month, or 130€ if paid yearly. I use an ad blocker and don't want any of the extra features that are provided to premium users. So until they manage to make unblockable ads, 130€/year could very reasonably be considered profit for the act of selling my data.

Lmao! This map is unreasonably funny.

The wheels are apparently really really loud when they are mounted like this. You just can make good enough ball bearings of this size at any reasonable cost and weight
