u/Zagorath — Zagorath

I found this solution worked for me in Australia. It involved clicking a link to add the bundle to my cart, and then another link to check out, rather than going through the normal process.

“recognising” a government seems to be tantamount to acknowledging that government is legitimate and representative of the people

I agree with your conclusion (recognition *should* be based entirely on who has Actual Control, in cases where that can be *clearly* determined), but not with this particular explanation. Nobody "recognises" Taiwan, but it has nothing to do with believing it's illegitimate or unrepresentative. It has to do with the fact that China has a hissy fit if you do.

In what world is suggesting one army should attack another army *not* a "call to violence"?

Your rulings are just complete nonsense. There's no consistency. You're just applying it based on your own whims. One of which seems, based on how you're applying it, to be "genocide is ok when it's done to brown people".

So is saying "Ukrainian should beat the Russian army" "removable", then?

Speaking of Russian propaganda, is saying "Russian soldiers invading Ukraine should be killed" also bannable?

anyone should be killing anyone else

Or, apparently, causing property damage 🤦‍♂️

But we're not talking about killing people. We're talking about killing *an organisation*. If someone had said "death to Apple", that is *not* the same as "death to Tim Cook and all his employees".

Wait, you can't even say a *group* should be eliminated? Not even people, but a *group*‽

Is "defund the police" also a bannable offence now?

So I take it then, that *any* comment even vaguely in support of Israel will be removed as against the TOS? Because surely advocating in favour of genocide, even indirectly, is far worse than criticising the organisation actually *committing* that genocide?

Running shirts tend to be made of nylon or polyester. Unfortunately I tend to hang on to my clothes a *very* long time so all the tags are worn away and I can't check, but I'm pretty sure all my running shirts are one of those.

Cotton is *particularly* bad because it chafes and it hangs on to sweat rather than wicking it away.

Of natural fibres, you probably want wool. I've particularly heard good things about merino wool. But avoid cotton for running.

!Back of a T-shirt with a sketch of a running person. It reads "Bob Vylan Running Club" with bubbles that say "Run for peace" and "And from police"

Fuck that is an *awesome* design.

Shame it (a) appears to be cotton (*not* the material I want to be running in), and (b) is sold out.

Happy cake day!

They didn't even do the most *basic* of work to attempt to put forward a front of journalistic integrity. They didn't give Vylan a chance to respond to the article.

SpaceX is probably similar

Tesla is a publicly-traded company. There is no reason to believe SpaceX, which is still privately held, should be similar.

A 2023 Wall Street Journal article (linked here in archive form) claims Musk controls 42% of its equity has 79% voting control.

And yet the BBC makes no mention in this article about Israel's "genocide", no mention of their "apartheid", and the only result my ctrl-f for "crime" (aiming to detect "war crimes") was one of the promotional links to a *different* article where they invited "both sides" to argue in a debate, as though it's two equal sides.

Damn that's a really tough decision.

It’s technically not countries participating, but broadcasters and they need to be independent of state control

So...same problem as the geography question then. How the fuck does Australia participate? As best I can tell, it's broadcast here on SBS, a state-owned broadcaster.

A little more detail on how big this is. Since 1980, the Liberals and Nationals have been *so* tied together that we very often call them "the Coalition". Our news media reports on election results by saying how many seats the combined Coalition has won. In the state of Queensland, the two parties are fully merged into the Liberal National Party, or LNP, and the term LNP is sometimes unofficially used to refer to the Coalition elsewhere. In federal politics, LNP members choose whether they sit in the Liberal party room or the National party room. Peter Dutton was a Liberal-aligned Queensland LNP member.

For Germans, you can *kinda* think of this as equivalent to CDU/CSU splitting, with the main difference being that instead of different *states*, the Nationals represent rural areas and the Liberals represent urban and suburban areas. But it's fuzzy and they do sometimes softly compete against each other.

Also quick note: they're called the Liberals because they *ostensibly* stand for individual liberty. Personal freedoms etc. But they've evolved into crony capitalism and conservative culture wars.

Bye bye!

become less fanatical and radicalized

Bro's defending genocide in other threads and says *other* people need to be less radicalized. (Nice way to give yourself away, btw. Mr lemmy\.net**.au** clearly actually from America.)
