In a worldview it is entirely not uncommon. I think you find this quite often in enclave/enclosed communities where the native language is not that of the general populace. Also in more closed religious communities. I’ve seen this first hand in Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and even Protestant communities.
You’ve not been to parts of New York, have you? This is quite common.
Yeah, no kidding. You don’t get to act like a red hatter, acting like your decisions about what constitutes “freedom” disqualifies all others, without being called out for it.
I’m getting so sick of Lemmy… It’s just like the worst parts of Reddit now. No opinion, other than the hive mind. No discussion, besides name-calling and finger pointing, and yeah, they did it first. This place is for children.
So it just shows you to be petty. Was that what you hoped to achieve?
And yet, here we are. Get it yet?
I read that linguistically, Australian English is closer to American than British versions. Having never yet been there but occasionally having a Violet Crumble when available, I can believe it.
Muh sovereignty and mah freedom might be cousins.
…You forgot your red hat
Apple haters have ALWAYS found something to wrap their hate around and then march on parade; this is just the latest. Just join the line at the back…
Or buy something else.
Sounds good to me. Then these annoying posts might stop.
Depends on who “we” are. WE’RE feeling a bit safer.
Then? He’s geriatric now.
Ah, the miracles of plastic surgery and not moving your expression much.
I live next door (Netherlands) and I’m proud of today’s Germans. They know how to fight back on the extremist Right, unlike my country where they make them Prime Minister.
Yeah, but if you just used css variables, this would’ve been a doddle. One and done.
I’m sorry but the solution to every argument is not just to throw of the word “semantic” in the sentence. Context is everything.
How would you know when that is?
They hit you with a tracking beam, you deploy glitter, it flies away at the speed of the missle, still being tracked, and then they zap the missle once the glitter is gone.
I know you’re just being facetious, but this shit is real and it’s really out there, and the fact that someone’s taking this seriously is probably the only reason we’re safe.
Only if you can deploy glitter faster than the speed of light…
Can’t we ban them?
Nope - US manufacturers are NOT pulling the same shit. Kia/Hyundai are the only brand in the US without immobilizers because they thought they could skimp there instead of a posher interior or more electro-gadgets. Only in the US because the law at that time didn’t require it, but other brands who also sell worldwide (where it is absolutely required) didn’t consider this an option. Kia/Hyundai clearly did. It was a stupid, stupid call and it should impact their reputation. If they skimp on something as elemental as security, where else have they skimped…?
Location is irrelevant … That was choice by Hyundai/Kia, to cheap out and remove the immobilizers.
So, Bali then. Then you’d know this one - maybe you’re a stupid influencer, and if you take a photograph in a bikini up against the wrong tree – a religious symbol which is unmarked, but yet supposed to be duly noted as being off-limits - you can kiss your visa status goodbye, fined and deported. There are unwritten local and religious rules, managed through local groups which coordinate with the local government. That’s what this is as well.
Please note, I’m not criticizing this. When you are in another country as a guest, you should not just think you can transpose your culture over the native culture and not suffer repercussions.
