Simple, it’s against Eurovision rules for broadcasters and governments to advertise their acts or tell people to vote for their acts.
Hasbara, the Israeli state propaganda outlet, routinely spends around a mil a year aggressively advertising the Israeli contestant and telling people to vote for them. Interestingly, these campaigns are done in multiple languages.
I actually wonder if it’s the opposite, to some extent? Giving you a prescription that costs 300$ for three cents of pill is a great way to make money, and mental health, being on a spectrum, can be diagnosed easily.
There’s probably some class difference, too. I’d expect extreme over-diagnosis (especially for the cool diagnoses that get you Xanax) among the wealthy with under-diagnosis among the poor.
The citizens of other countries have their own lives to deal with, which are being made more complicated by the simple fact that screaming against it this entire time just was not enough.
They have no obligation to stand in solidarity with citizens of the country making their lives harder. This is not collective punishment, this is the predictable outcome of a series of events.
It’s like getting hit by an uninsured drunk driver: It may not be our fault, but it will be our responsibility to fix.
Your rights could be slowly getting eroded away right now. And if there are any billionaires that exist in your country at all, I guarantee they are. It’s easy to talk shit, but the impactful thing is to stand in solidarity and do what you can from your side of the pond.
They’re doing about as much as what Americans are doing to help themselves.
The only solidarity we deserve after re-electing the orange fuck is a solid kick up the ass. This is on Americans to fix, and if we can’t fix it, the world doesn’t owe us shit.
Nah. Not really. Time zones don’t follow state boundaries because they generally follow natural population boundaries.
You’re not wrong (generally speaking, specifically speaking I use the NYT rent vs. ownership calculator to see if it’s worth buying or investing in the sp500)
But the problem here is entirely the lack of flexibility. Once an employer knows you are less flexible than the guy in the next cube, you’re picking up the slack of the guy that can up and move his ass to the next town over in a week.
All this cybertech looks cool as hell until your eyeball cooling drivers crash and your optic processing unit hits 100C like my GPU.
I don’t know if you intended “get put out with them” as a euphemism for “killed” but it fits very nicely.
Yep!
And as cameras get smaller, pretty soon any glasses will be suspect, meaning that those that need vision correction without being able to wear contacts for whatever reason will also end up lumped in with the creeps.
This is like Batesian mimickry but stupid.
Sit and do nothing.
Money is an abstraction of time and resources. If you are interested in investing time and resources, your only option is to wander off, come back later, and hope that the problem fixes itself.
This is an interesting corollary to the “anything you say can only be used against you in court” adage.
