If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler’s bidding.
A divided, unorganized Left cannot possibly hope to win against the fascist party and large militarized institutions corrupted by fascism, the Left needs to organize first.
Unfortunately the “heavenly mandate” is just made up by power-hungry narcissists who are searching for an excuse for their corruption and incompetence. Democracy always leads to better long-term policy outcomes than dictatorships.
Isn’t the definition of an autocracy, a system where laws are used for leaders to control the people instead of people using laws to control the leaders?
Actually a fun fact there, they’re both owned by different Aldis.
[Aldi] was split into two separate groups in 1960 that later became Aldi Nord (initially Northern West Germany), headquartered in Essen, and Aldi Süd (initially Southern West Germany), headquartered in neighbouring Mülheim
The brothers split the company in 1960, reportedly over a dispute about whether they should sell cigarettes. Karl believed they would attract shoplifters, while his brother, Theo, did not. This led to Theo running Aldi Nord and Karl running Aldi Süd.[22]
in 1976, Aldi Süd opened its first store in the United States in Iowa,[a][29][30] and, in 1979, Aldi Nord acquired Trader Joe’s.[19]
From your source:
These are used in zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) – a way for two parties to validate that one of them asserts a fact without learning what that fact is in the process (this is super cool stuff). Users can send their subcredentials to a third party, who can use a ZKP to validate them without learning anything else about the user – so you could prove your age (or even just prove that you are over 18 without disclosing your age at all) without disclosing your identity.
All the arguments against ZKP on the following paragraphs misunderstand the way the state and intergovernmental institutions, and the rule of law work in the EU. Many EU countries already have digital identity providers that are used every day by their citizens. I think very few people are arguing in favor of dismantling them.
Just watch out for Kristi Noem
Unfortunately, Trump and his goons have already appealed to SCOTUS.
Nah the EU has GDPR. Any age verification is completely anonymous.
It seems like they have 3 manufacturing regions:

Also pick a brick probably ships from a Danish warehouse, so it’s all manufactured in the EU.
I’m pretty sure that Danish shipping companies simply don’t want to deal with the new Trump bureaucracy.
The Danish postal service has stopped all shipments to the US:
Lego is manufactured in Denmark, with a super advanced fully-automated factory. They could build new factories in the US, but then it would be far away from their engineers and based in a country with a failing economy.
Heres a presentation from the Lego engineers that automate the computer systems:
The worm demands kids with more ATP!
Yeah I mean I guess every war technically ends with a treaty or status quo ceasefire, but you’re skipping a lot of steps where all of the most egregious nazis were killed or captured first.
You don’t have to go as far as the Romans did to Carthage to demand an unconditional surrender through force.

You can’t prove that Google isn’t shipping backdoored versions of the app to targeted individuals
Trolleybusses and trams are basically indestructible. Normal busses only last like 20 years, electric busses even shorter, but trolleybusses and trams will last 100 years with proper maintenance. The only big wear part is really the tires on trolleybusses, which doesn’t affect trams.
The main reason why old trams aren’t run anymore is just because they’re a bit small and noisy and not wheelchair accessible. That and car companies convinced cities to pave over their tram lines to be able to sell more cars.
Remember to thank your chatbots!
probably less than a terabyte, even with flac
yeah but we’re talking about the Dutch here
The funny thing is that the DSA explicitly protects citizens’ free speech on internet platforms. You know, the whole thing that was conservatives’ #1 issue when it came to digital policy?
