I don’t give a shit.

You drink diluted piss. Think about it.

Meanwhile this was a stupid proposal over here in Slovakia: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/20/slovakia-targets-wealthy-book-buyers-with-steep-vat-rise

Announcing the new VAT rate this week, Slovakia’s finance minister, Ladislav Kamenický, claimed studies had shown that books were “primarily purchased by wealthier segments of the population” and could therefore be taxed at the new basic rate of 23% rather than the current rate of 10%.

Sometimes there may be mention of dangerous words like “gun” instead of “pew-pew” or “killed” instead of “unalived”.

Have to keep the kids safe.

I’ve used a debit card to verify being 18+ when I was 15. My own debit card.

Does it just assume that you’re 18+ if you have one?

How the hell do you forgot you have child in a car?

This situation aside, quite easily. Especially if not your own, you don’t drive kids places often, are exhausted or feeling unwell, have too much other stuff getting overwhelming, and of course the kid being nice and quiet. Possibly also just leaving the kid there for a short time at first, and then forgetting, which would be the irresponsible way under these conditions (heat, closed windows, no escape).

For me it’s 10 days. I expect some automated monitoring with unencrypted messaging services. But automated things should work more or less immediately.
I wonder what went on for the 10 days. Was most of it waiting for manual review, FBI taking the time with… something, whatever else.

Slightly less related, but what modern day paint has lead in it?

No, no, you will. It doesn’t apply to human meat.

Also there are a lot more types of meat than beef.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_syndrome

The alpha-gal molecule is found in all mammals except catarrhines (apes and Old World monkeys), the taxonomic branch that includes humans.

Sounds like you could still eat fish, human and chicken (and other bird) meat as usual.

In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappeared

Wouldn’t that mean they’re far more used than ever instead?

That’s real, by the way.

Here, you lost this: \

In November 1967 the Israeli authorities issued Military Order 158, which stated that Palestinians could not construct any new water installation without first obtaining a permit from the Israeli army. Since then, the extraction of water from any new source or the development of any new water infrastructure would require permits from Israel, which are near impossible to obtain. Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation continue to suffer the devastating consequences of this order until today. They are unable to drill new water wells, install pumps or deepen existing wells, in addition to being denied access to the Jordan River and fresh water springs. Israel even controls the collection of rain water throughout most of the West Bank, and rainwater harvesting cisterns owned by Palestinian communities are often destroyed by the Israeli army.

Poland, Slovakia, Hungary.

Czech Republic, don’t fuck up too.

Ah, right, I get it! It becomes a hidden problem that I can’t see, just like I technically can’t see you eating shit, because you hide while doing so.

Oh, wow, really.

Officials can swear using any book or document meaningful to them – or none at all.

There’s also some actually used examples like a stack of banned books, Superman comic book, and even a Dr. Seuss book.

Yeah, look at Facebook when there’s news about some 13+ male kid who got raped by a woman. You’ll get grown men saying how “lucky” that kid was, and that they wish the same had happened to them at his age.
But hey, other way around it’s also often shit like “look at her clothes, she was asking for it, can’t be surprised”.
