I am 100% convinced that all the money in the world doesn’t matter when teachers don’t give a fuck and when students’ behaviour is beyond reproach. Took my kids out of a public school that was boasting about their certificates and digitalisation etc. and sent them to a private school (no, it wasn’t expensive and certainly more efficient than the bloated corpse of public administration) that made do with minuscule amounts of money, just offered old school care and attention.
The most sought-after private school in Silicon Valley, the Waldorf School of the Peninsula, bans technical devices for the under-11s and teaches the children of eBay, Apple, Uber and Google staff to make go-karts, knit and cook. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg wants his daughters to read Dr Seuss books and play outside rather than use Messenger Kids. Steve Jobs’s children had strict limits on how much technology they used at home.
TL;DR: long before all the studies and statistical analyses became vogue, our “captains of industry” were skeptical enough of the ubiquitous technology that their companies make, sell, enable, or otherwise profit from that they took steps to protect their own children from it.
To me, 30% of voters does not at all seem a "minority". This is democracy, the majority decides and elects their leaders, it does not matter if not everybody feels at ease with them. Traditional values represent a country's identity, historical legacy and in the case of Poland, it is what allowed them to survive across multiple foreign invasions and dominations.
TBH as much of a shitheel asshat as the guy is, he’s also a decently accurate representation of one of the various segments on the lower half of the American bell curve.
Elon very likely lives in his own bubble with no one around that can disagree.
A millionaire could surround themselves with other millionaires and get a reality check. There are few billionaires and trillionaires, and they are likely surrounded by people that depend on the billionaires for their life's stability.
This is a good argument for taxing billionaires heavily. They should not exist and will be destructive as they loose touch with reality.
That would homestly be nice. It's not about Eurovision, but about sending a message. If Russia gets banned from many activities for invading a sovereign country, Israel should get the same treatment for doing what is (at best) the same.
this party needs to really improve marketing their success in creating good laws.
i work with lots of people who buy into the shit everyone's spreading against them. if they don't tell us what they're doing, everyone will believe that things that are yelled the loudest.
and often times that's lies to gain votes to damage our country's integrity (again).
But the US seems much more concerned about sporting events being targeted in the US. I don't hear about security restrictions on theaters.
I guess a sporting event can have a lot more people, and if televised might be higher visibility. But I'd think that any vulnerability would persist across national boundaries.
Terrorists are always going to attack whatever has the most convenient combination of lax security and number of people for them. They don't go for cultural venues because they loath theater, they go for them because there's less things that go wrong for them.
The best governments can do is to have more security in places with more people - like sports events.
Yeah, the average terrorist is extremely rational, and would never do attacks if their needs were met. Simple needs like killing everyone who does not worship their god exactly the same way they do.
Consume less tiktok. Can't you see that it rots your brain?
islamic terrorists from one of the Caucasus "republics"
disgruntled vets
separatists
FSB agents
I'd figure it's some IS offshoot, although regardless of who actually did it the FSB will likely blame it on the Chechens as is tradition. Especially if they did it themselves
Free speech should not include inciting violence or hatred. Germany is well aware of the negative impacts that unchecked incitement leads too. It's interesting to see how they're walking this line in the face of the competing political forces in the country but it's good to see people standing up against hate in general.
Yup. Free speech should be free. Ai monitoring known terrorists is how one remains a free society. Looks like the US needs to invest in the technology and deploy it on campuses ATM.
I wonder if they would do that against zionist terrorists attacking protestors rn. Even the police isn't responding so it's highly unlikely US will implement this.
Nah, those heros are just standing their ground. They're entitled to be on campus, bigoted pro hamasians trying to force them out crying about losing the fight they started is hilarious given it's a mirror of what the Palestinians have been doing since they were invented in the 60s.
Bonus points because they're purportedly Iranian too 🤣.
Some more background from this article :
"Magyar has pitched himself as a centrist, focusing on domestic issues – combating corruption, improving healthcare, modernising the education system and aiming to unite Hungary’s highly polarised society.
Magyar, by contrast, has said he is in favour of a foreign policy that protects Hungary’s sovereignty while maintaining a constructive relationship with the EU and Nato."
I mean... "What are the farmers protesting about?
The main trigger for the protests are proposals in the Welsh government’s sustainable farming scheme (SFS) – its post-Brexit plan for funding the industry from 2025. One of the ideas is that farmers should commit to ensuring 10% of their land is under tree cover. Farmers argue this would be costly, unpractical and leave them overwhelmed with paperwork"
Russia appears prepared to create “environmental havoc” by sailing unseaworthy oil tankers through the Baltic Sea in breach of all maritime rules, the Swedish foreign minister has said.
Speaking to the Guardian during his first visit to London since Sweden became a Nato member, Tobias Billström called for new rules and enforcement mechanisms to prevent the ageing and uninsured Russian shadow fleet causing an environmental catastrophe.
Foreign ministers from the eight Nordic-Baltic grouping of countries met on the strategic island of Gotland a fortnight ago to discuss how to tackle the Russian fleet.
He said every state that was a member of the International Maritime Organisation had a responsibility to uphold IMO rules and regulations, and had the right to ask the captain of a ship not deemed seaworthy to take action before leaving port.
The former UK armed forces minister James Heappey said he kept a copy of the Swedish civil defence manual on his desk as a model for what Britain should emulate.
Like all foreign ministers, he said he was wary of the implications of a Trump presidency had for Europe, Nato and Ukraine, but doubted the bulk of the Republican party had succumbed to pro-Russian propaganda.
