I’m shocked!!! Positively utterly and completely surprised and shocked!!! /s

People that don’t bother to vote are as bad as Trump supporters. The true foundation of every autocratic regime is not fear, it’s not their real supporters, it’s people that don’t care what happens as long as it’s not happening to them (yet).

Tides go in, demonic atomic energy comes out, can’t explain that.

Tell you have no idea how civil protection and emergency response works in Spain without telling me you have no idea how civil protection and emergency response works in Spain.

Emergency response is the responsibility of the autonomous communities not of the national government which only makes resources available to the regional governments. Valencians were abandoned by their own politicians.

“Czechoslovakia is not my problem” vibes. How did that end up?

So having western troops in Ukraine should also be fine if they stop at the russian border right?

When you consider the average of all the opinion polls Trump is still more likely to win Iowa though he’s hemorrhaging support there. What this means is that Harris has a real chance to win if people go out and vote.

The EU and several individual countries had offered help. Spain is basically accepting it after accessing the situation on the ground.

Colonialism is such a beautiful and logical thing. /s

They have no idea what weebs are going to do to the poor mascot.

More like democracy good, but justice is not a popularity contest.

In a well run country that requires a supermajority of some kind of council picked by different groups like some representatives for the judges, others picked by the legislature, etc. which avoids any group having full control of the courts.

The effects of the disaster were compounded by those cars in several ways, from climate change to almost every single surface in sight being paved with a material that can’t absorb water.

Most people would also press a button that will save a random human of their country over a random human from another country. Does that mean people have different value depending on which country they are from?

I have a gun pointed at your dog and another pointed at a guy that’s going around eating people’s pets…

You are mixing the rational component of the question in general with the emotional attachments of particular situations. This kind of “I know it in my heart” drive is the same that drives things like racism and xenophobia.

Fines need to be payable, otherwise they are a joke. A large chunk of global revenue GDPR-style is reasonable because it really hurts the profits but it’s still small enough that the company can pay it, and it will incentivize the company to change their practices. If the company (or anyone) gets a fine they can’t pay they will just ignore it, so it only makes sense if you want to kick out the company out of your country, in which case you should skip the extra steps.

He means Peter Thiel.

Just 440528634361233480160 times the global wealth. Sounds like a reasonable value, decided by a judge that was definitely not drunk.

By all means, defend the “joke”. I suggest doing it especially in Pennsylvania.
