Guarantee you if we magically eliminated borders world war 3 would erupt the next day as countries desperately redraw them.

Good idea in principle, but not feasible in this day and age. Humans are simply not sociologically advanced enough to sustain that kind of political venture. For starters, humans produce more than enough food to feed the world and yet food insecurity is rampant even in countries with excess.

Open borders will happen when the rest of humanity’s shit has been sorted out, not the other way around.

The joke is that big trucks are just as frivolous as overpriced weddings, and both of these people are idiots.

Direct translation my ass. It’s「セブンイレブン」。

We can acknowledge that male abusers exist without minimizing the severity of female abusers.

You may not see it, but there is misogyny coded in what your say when you generalize women as less capable of being an abuser. Even if there are statistically more male abusers, it doesn’t make female abusers less terrible.

The reason why so many male victims are unable to speak up is because of statements like this. When you delegitimize female abusers, you are delegitimizing the suffering of male victims. This is a reminder that the patriarchy hurts everyone.

Friendly reminder that ‘bao’ (包) already means bun, so ‘bao bun’ is a tad redundant

I think people are misunderstanding my question. See: https://lemmy.world/comment/3216636

Nothing warrants domestic abuse because two wrongs don’t make one right. I’m asking why people here feel otherwise.

I don’t know much about their family history. What did Yoko Ono do that warranted the domestic abuse?

Edit: Yeesh don’t know why people are getting angry over a genuine question. I don’t know much about celebrities and just asking why people here feel that her abuse was justified.

Go back to hexbear or wherever you came from and kindly defederate yourself.

Spoken like a true pro-CCP mainlander who’s mom came over to give birth and reap all the social benefits while actively voting to tear down all the democratic institutions.

I’m from Hong Kong. This is reality.

Condescension and smugness doesn’t make you sound correct. It just makes sound misinformed and willfully ignorant.

Couldn’t he have taken the prize and shared it?

I’m sure mathematicians can divide amongst themselves.

For anyone claiming that this isn’t enough, remember that Norway’s population is 5.4 million. If the fine were raised any higher, Facebook can simply not do business there. The goal is to get Facebook to comply with the law, not to remove them.

"This decision “does not ban Facebook or Instagram in Norway,” Tobias Judin, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority’s international department head, stated in a release. “The purpose is rather to ensure that people in Norway can use these services in a secure way and that their rights are safeguarded.” - > AP News

At face value many people would say that Facebook pulling out is a good thing, but it’s not that simple. Lots of small businesses rely on social media. People would be losing a forum for political discourse, no matter how fake news infested it may be. People who rely on it to initiate social interaction will have to find a different channel now. They are so conditioned to the convenience of staying connected with friends and family through social media that it has eroded forms of communication. This isn’t a judgment on social media users, this is just stating how social interactions have changed and how detrimental removing these tools can be.

Facebook has around 3 billion users. It’s economic impact is estimated at 227 billion USD. It’s part of the fabric of society, especially for people with poor media literacy. Good luck pulling the plug on that.

Uncle Iroh would be proud

Many contractors for Alphabet companies do functionally the same work as employees yet get paid a fraction with a fraction of the benefits. Several friends of mine who are contractors and employees have affirmed that the work contractors do is for the most part very similar and both agree that this is a fucked up situation for the contractors.

Think of it like gig economy drivers who are frequently exploited for ‘contract based work’ when the reality is that this is a full time job for many drivers in everything but pay.
