There are definitely some bad actors on here who are trying to manipulate the election in Trump’s favor. The sort that claim to be leftists and come to every US politics-related thread (or even ones that aren’t related to the US until they make it so) with their list of talking points about why no one should vote for Harris, but conveniently have no answers for who deserves votes more.
Excluding laws in certain places meant to protect children from a life of ridicule, you can name your child whatever you want.
The issue of trademark, which is what this article highlights, only concerns applications where there is a business conflict. For example, it is normal for an actor/musician/artist to trademark their name as their “brand,” which means I can’t just form a thrash metal band called “Taylor Swift” to profit off of some confused music listeners. And even if my legal name was Taylor Swift, I could still be required to change my “stage name” to something else when promoting myself as an artist to avoid any confusion/conflict with Tay-Tay.
Last I checked, Warner Bros is not in the passport industry, so this is a dumb argument that should never have occurred. If I had to guess, it was probably just some random disgruntled government employee who felt the need to play armchair activist and “punish” a parent because they didn’t like the name they chose for their child.
I hope broader international recognition of Palestine helps spur more recognition of Kurdistan.
Hard to compete when the government heavily subsidizes the local industry while simultaneously making it very difficult for foreign companies to operate.
This is funny to me.
Oh, it costs too much to educate kids? Just put them in schools at a younger age, rip off that bandaid sooner.
No, let’s not talk about the wound that bandaid is covering up in the first place, that’s completely unrelated.
How does that fix anything? You keep some parts of the world as human breeding mills and send them to the places where quality of work/life balance is so bad that they can’t have kids there either?
From an end user perspective there’s not that much to think about, thankfully.
Basically, it’s like having two websites that mirror each other’s content. You can sign up for Forum A and be able to read and write posts that users on Forum B can also see. People’s names are tagged with the name of the forum they are registered at, but otherwise everything you do and see happens on your own site of choice and there’s no difference where it comes from.
If Forum A doesn’t like Forum C, but Forum B doesn’t mind, Forum A can choose to disconnect from Forum C and hide their users and posts, while Forum B can still see both. It only gets tricky when someone from Forum B makes a post that people from both Forums A and C are in, but all of the posts from C users are invisible to A users.
Millennials are in the “Oh fuck I’m ‘the Man’ now” phase.
White people in former colonial power that committed genocide being racist? Color me shocked!
Yeah, I ended up installing that to bring back my previous swipe gestures.
I like button navigation, but I don’t like having the buttons on the screen at all times where they’ll eventually burn in, so just being able to swipe where the buttons otherwise would be was working for me.
I tried to switch to the new gesture mode they implemented, but having the entire left and right sides of my screen get turned into a back button, preventing me from swiping the edges of my device to open and close menus like I was used to, was just too inconvenient.
GoodLock brought me back to how things were and I’m happy it exists, but the only drawback is that it doesn’t seem to support long pressing the home button to bring up Google Assistant. Or rather, that Google Assistant no longer supports that mode of being called, opting for Circle to Search instead, which GoodLock can’t call up either.
Not with Sync at least
For republicans, feelings are facts!
Better that than to hurt the feelings of someone who cares a whole lot about people wearing masks.
I don’t know who that is, so I guess I don’t think anything at all.
Is that the kid from American Dad?
But Europeans are better than Americans. There are so many more white people, and they’re really sorry for all the colonialism (but thank you to not ask for all the stolen artifacts back).
That’s the global measure of success, isn’t it?
Israeli logic: “If you help Palestinians, you help Hamas. If you help Hamas, then you are Hamas.”
“Everyone but me is a Hamas.”
They have a claim. Whether the country, organization, or individual in possession of said artifact(s) chooses to recognize that claim is another matter, however.
But it was her turn!
What the OP did was try to justify an ongoing genocide by calling the other side terrorists.
I don’t believe that is what their comment was implying at all. Again, both things can be true. Hamas can be terrorists and Israel can be guilty of exceptionally disproportionate violence fueling an agenda of unforgivable genocide.
Reality doesn’t exist in black and white.
I don’t think any ideology has not had brutality committed in its name.
