Not really. British are from Great Britain (the island).

Whatever Asmongold.

I’d rather smell like a rose than smell like shit.

It is easier than it’s ever been to host your own website. You could have what most personal websites were like in the 00s without ever once coming out of the free tier in Azure. Domains are still gonna cost you, but actual hosting is pennies.

You can’t even get regulatory bodies to have an RSS feed. In my last job I was really annoyed because the only way you could figure out if the EU had changed their chemical regulations is by being in either a very specific LinkedIn group or just checking their website again and again.

It’s hard to write software for regulatory compliance when the regulations and data schema change seemingly at random.

I didn’t subscribe to HBO when Game of Thrones was airing, I’m not about to start now.

Last time she talked about Harry Potter on Twitter, she told everyone that wizards just used to shit themselves until someone invented the toilet.

Or you could just raise the minimum wage to a point where employees earning it are earning too much for food stamps. That’s how the UK does it. They lower the benefits bill by putting the burden on businesses rather than the state.

Science isn’t a belief, it’s a method.

What’s the difference between an application and a program?

Does Superman often throw cars at people? Why throw a car when a punch does more damage when you’re Superman? Hulk would, but that’s just because he likes to throw and smash things, not because he’s being logical about it.

In the UK you can quit before you sign your employment contract, but by accepting the job offer, your contract with your new employer has already started, and so you’re protected. They can’t legally pull out without compensating you.

Would you not be able to sue the employer on the grounds of promissory estoppel? You bought a new house, you quit your old job, and incurred financial harm as a result of the job offer, and so by rescinding that offer (assuming the offer was unconditional), they have harmed you, and you have grounds to sue them.

The Nazis found all sorts of excuses.

My point is the genocide of the Palestinians is more than just Gaza. The bombing of Gazans is a war crime, yes, but that in and of itself is not genocide. The settlements in the West Bank and overall encroachment on Palestinian territory is genocide, and that’s been going on for decades. If Israel and Egypt suddenly allowed people to leave Gaza and go to the West Bank, it wouldn’t stop the genocide, nor would stopping the bombing or the killings in Gaza, because the fact that Israel is allowing their colonists to displace Palestinians at all is enough to say that their intent is genocidal in nature.

You’re so caught up in the emotive rhetoric about Gaza that you’re ignoring the actual issue at hand. It’s like if the bombings weren’t happening at all, you wouldn’t actually give a shit.

You’re ignoring the West Bank. Palestine is not just Gaza.

That’s not entirely matching what I learned from history books. The German Nazis absolutely commit robber/murders. They just extended their murder spree to those of the same ethnicity and other “out-groups” who didn’t own anything to steal.

It wasn’t “Those people have money, therefore we shall rob them” though. It was “Those people are Jews, therefore they deserve to get robbed”. They were an acceptable target because they were Jewish, not because they had any money.

Doctors do still work more hours than someone in an office, meaning their pay is much lower than their salary would first tell you. Also considering the hours they have to work, and the way shifts are operated, their pay needs to be much, much higher. There’s a reason doctors are fleeing the country to Australia where the pay is better and so are the conditions.

The ‘relocation’ wasn’t based on anything the Jews had that the Nazis wanted though, not in terms of physical land anyway. Wealth, sure, but the Nazis weren’t going after Jews because they had money. The Slavs were gone after for land, definitely, because the Nazis wanted all the land to the east and were happy to just murder anyone and everyone living on it, but even that was based on genetics because the Nazis believed the Slavs to be an inferior species.

Again, what Israel is doing is definitely genocide, there’s no arguments there, but it’s not the same as the Holocaust. There’s a reason the Holocaust is seen as more evil than the Holodomor, and it’s because of the sheer industrial evil of it all. A systematic extermination of a people based purely on genetics has some extra weight to it.
