Yeah but guys, you've got to remember, money doesn't grow on trees.

So despite me owning multiple properties, owning so much land I must employ people to maintain it for me, and owning multiple cars that are worth more than you earn in an entire year, you have to remember it's the immigrants that are making everyone poorer.

Look! They dress and look slightly different from you, therefore it must be them at fault. Ignore that they're here because their country is currently going through war/genocide/famine/mass poverty, they're different!

What do you mean you want me to pay 2% more tax per year? Fuck off you communist scum!

For a decade, Russia has submitted a text denouncing the 'glorification of Nazism'

In the context of the war in Ukraine – and with Russia justifying its invasion, which began on 24 February, by the desire to "denazify" the country – many states that had previously abstained decided to vote against the resolution

In its explanation of the vote, the European Union recalled that it had been advocating "for years that the fight against extremism and the condemnation of the despicable ideology of Nazism must not be misused and co-opted for politically motivated purposes that seek to excuse new violations and abuses of human rights."

According to the press release published on the UN website, Ukraine called this text hypocritical believing that, contrary to its title, it was a pretext used by Russia to justify its brutal war against its country and the despicable crimes committed against humanity.

The countries opposing the resolution emphasize at every turn that they do not in any way condone the Third Reich. "We reaffirm our strongest condemnation of all forms of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," Ukraine insisted in 2019, while recalling that 8 million Ukrainians died in the Nazi offensive.

Before the vote, Australia managed to get an amendment to the draft resolution adopted (63 votes in favor, 23 against and 65 abstentions) inserting a new paragraph in which the General Assembly "notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism."

Hmm...

The amount of Americans that claim to be Scottish because their great great grandparent once farted in Edinburgh is pretty damned high to be fair.

The difference between the amount of Americans with genuine Scottish ancestry and the amount who arbitrarily claim Scottish ancestry is absurd. I dunno if they all saw Braveheart and decided "Freedom! Fuck yeah, I want some of that!" or what but it's ridiculous.

Well that headline is ambiguous. I thought at first it meant customers which sex workers deem dangerous will be criminalised. I.e. if you hit a sex worker then it's a specific crime outside of standard assault, like assaulting a police officer is a separate crime from standard assault.

But no, we can't have safer working conditions for sex workers, it's just a standard pearl clutching "think of the children" bigoted conservative proposal.

Fuck Alba, they don't even know how to pronounce their own party's name let alone govern. They're a poison on the independence movement and bring nothing but intolerance

Turkey knows how to respond to Russian aggression.

In addition to what the introduction says about giving multiple warnings to the pilot, the Background section covers that they had also given multiple warnings about previous similar incidents and told Russia that if they kept doing this there would be consequences. This was therefore those consequences, and guess what? Russia backed off and stopped entering Turkish airspace.

In addition to dieting you can try replacing fork reps with barbell reps. This gives a source of dopamine and increases your resting metabolic rate, making the dieting a bit easier.

Plus being stronger just makes day to day life easier.

Good luck, you got this!
