Does this count as actual fascism yet?

Neat, maybe they’ll extend it to other groups in the future once the infrastructure exists - many illnesses aren’t “terminal” but untreatable and extremely limiting and/or painful.

At 13, they are both basically and literally teenagers, which comes with the legal consequence of being liable for criminal actions.

Good find! And yeah, the referral order sentence seems to be rather obviously aimed at rehabilitation instead of punishing, would be weird if that was combined with a lifelong criminal record that is visible to potential employers and the like.

Teenagers are minors, but not children, my guy.

“child, 13” - a 13yo is a teenager, not a child.

That article was a pain in the ass to read, horribly structured.

What she did: “The court heard the girl was taken to the protest outside the Potters International Hotel, which houses asylum seekers, by a parent of a friend. Police body-worn video showed the teenager briefly bang and kick at a door of the hotel while voices could be heard telling her to stop.”

Her sentence, a “12-month referral order”: “A referral order means you are required to attend a youth offender panel. The panel, you, your parents/carers and the victim (where appropriate) agree a contract aimed at repairing the harm that has been caused and addressing the causes of the offending behaviours.” (https://unlock.org.uk/advice/referral-order-18/)

The conviction seems to be on permanent record, though, which does seem a bit much for this considering her age.

I made a shell script titled “update”, it updates system packages, flatpaks and python packages. Too many lines for an alias for my tastes.

The only thing that’s stupid about this IMO is that Skywalker is supposed to be a last name, not a first/given name.

He says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

He [the father] says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

Sounds like that office doesn’t know how their own rules work.

Doesn’t work that well when the way is constantly twisting and splitting. Cave layout can be extremely confusing.

Minecraft probably. I avoid legitimate horror games (and movies) and the fact that you don’t have saves can get a little stressful when you’re down in a cave, don’t know how to find your way back (and thus probably won’t find your body) and then basically get jumpscared by dangerous enemies or holes in the ground.

Workers rights activists are leftist activists by virtue of advocating for workers rights, IMO.

Unfortunately, the tankies are also impeding the change we actually need (e.g. expansion of workers rights). It’s harder to get involved in leftism when such a large part of vocal leftists are tankies.

How is that a “flavor”?

China has a different flavor? 🤷‍♂️

?

Think maybe as humans we just forgot how to build houses or something.

There’s some legitimate issues (e.g. investors buying up housing and trying to squeeze out as much short-term profit as possible, increasing prices for raw materials), but the main issue seems to be that most governments refuse to take effective measures for whatever reason. IDK, maybe they’re just all strapped for cash after the recent pandemic.

People are leaving New Zealand in record numbers as unemployment rises, interest rates remain high and economic growth is anaemic

AFAIK they also have a somewhat severe housing crisis. No idea whether it’s actually worse than e.g. in Australia, though - who doesn’t have a housing crisis these days?

What about gun adverts? YouTube has a terrible track record for policing its advertising content.

Who said anything about open flame? I’d assume most of them are going to use electric grills. No oil involved.

But maybe you can link me a picture of the kind of frying device that you have in mind - maybe we just disagree on whether that’s a grill or a fryer.

No frying pans anywhere, either. That would be very impractical in the standard sausage-and-fries shop that sells currywurst.
