No totally fair, it's not your fault she had those expectations as well. Any parent should be supportive of their child and I agree you are not the one she should bother with those feelings. Wish you the best.
I'm confused, it lists collabora as not free? Or should the distinction be 'local desktop install' 'online service/mobile app'?
But I think that's not a weird thing for a parent (not saying it is normal to not want to speak to your child because they are different then you expected, or to dislike them for being who they were born to be).
I haven't seen the EU inspired by Hungary's policies, so let's hope that will be the same here as well.
To be fair, especially to parents I get the part of grieving of someone you love not being there anymore. But if that person isn't really dead but just a different (better) version of the person, I don't really get how you can believe you are greaving while you're simultaneously not keeping that person close to you? I mean, that will only make the loss worse, right?
I think she already knew, why else would she mention the people born with the intent of holding eggs (whatever that means).
What shouldn't be confusing?
In this particular case the available words are easily found in a dictionary, and if it comes to law you can easily write about cisgender women and transgender women.
The problem is people that want the word women to not include trans women. They want to say trans women are not women, while also saying trans men aren't women, and that's why to them it is gets confusing talking about what gender is. Because once they realise they are basically saying trans people are not people, they subconsciously know they are morally wrong. And it's confusing when you think you are doing something that is morally right, while knowing (maybe only subconsciously) you're not.
No true, luckily we have much stronger forces controlling the government. Also because they don't have a majority.
Well, might be because eastern-european countries have much more discriminating laws on gays compared to north- and western European countries. So even though it's getting worse, the rethoric isn't anything new. Hungary has a law forbidding queer 'propaganda' that is said to be an almost exact copy of the russian law. Facial recognition on the other hand is very new, and as far as I know hasn't been used on any other protest/celebration/public gathering anywhere in Europe so perhaps a part of the noise isn't from people particularly concerned about LGBTQ+ rights, but about their civil liberties and see this as a first step of using digital tech as a mechanism of suppression. But I don't really know tbh.
We'll see how this plays out, they both are sure trying to sell their cars.
PVV has been kept out of the government for over a decade because of their ideology, ultimately becoming the biggest party and indeed they are now part of the government. Turns out, they can't get anything done because they don't really have anyone in their ranks who is actually capable of doing the actual work. Let's hope the same will be true for Reform, AfD and FN.
Labour is very good at ignoring progressive or environmentally minded voices from within their own ranks.
Is a lot closer to what is said in the article than "some young women are being "radicalised" into voting Green"
You have not read it.
You have to whore yourself to the masses if you want to make money in art or literature.
I think that has been the case since forever maybe. Most people use the verb to market because it sounds less awful, but it's not like a medieval painter got a job without having made a name for themself. Same for dancers, actors, scriptwriters etc. It is much easier to sell people people food and beer and sweaters and baskets and whatnot. Marketing your work is as essential to running your business (= making a living) as managing finances. I can understand you don't like this, but it's not really been different.
Just read the article
If content breaks rule you can warn with a comment or act by deleting content, you don't need the permission of someone else. It's good you try to establish whether others agree with you, but you don't need it in order to enforce a rule is what I mean as alternative.
I think it's good you started this thread, but I don't think it'll be easy to reach a democratic decision based on the comments in a post.
I think the joke has to do with what Volkswagen was during the nazi-regime, there were no hippie busses back then.
That's true, I'm not saying it's unfair to artificially up the price with import duties, just wanted to point out price is also an important factor in people's decisions.
