If this was someone that I have regular contact with, I’d be kinda impressed that they managed to keep the secret. Though there’s degrees to wealth - I wouldn’t be impressed of the secretkeeping if I already knew that they were some kind of rich manager type, just not that rich.
That said, fuck billionaires.
That kinda requires intention and effort, you wouldn’t be doing it because the process is so enjoyable. I definitely remember syrup medicine being really tasty when I was a kid.
Lots of pill-shaped medicine already does. You’re supposed to swallow them immediately, if you don’t you often find that they are mixed with bittering agents (or just naturally taste bitter).
Where I live, cough syrup that might actually be dangerous (e.g. the purple drank stuff) is already prescription-only or fully illegal, anyway.
What’s your specific issue with France?
Washing hands with soap is definitely important. IDK that you’d really get sick from a trash can being carried around the kitchen, but it sounds like your mom just generally doesn’t wash her hands after touching dirty stuff. Some germs are more harmful than others, I wouldn’t trust her around chicken or when there’s actually someone in the household with an infectious disease …
Damn, I thought my parents’ kitchen looked like a mess, and I’m not exactly a neat freak myself. Good thing I live on my own and only have to live with my own messes …
Seems like the precondition to making it highly-publicised is that popular media actually wants to shine a light on this and isn’t prevented from it by those who buy their ads, sponsored articles etc.
It’s a bit of a catch22; to make the world better, the world already needs to be better. The media who would publicise this are probably already bringing stories about the evils of environmental destruction all the time, and they’re consumed by people who already know that environmental destruction is bad and want it to stop, but there’s only so much a minority can accomplish when big business can just pay off the people who could decide to really do something about it.
There’s Stack Overflow and Hackernews. I’d say that Stack Overflow tends to be a better resource than Reddit for tech questions - it’s not exactly a forum, and that’s both a strength and a weakness. And you can’t just copy Reddit 1:1, because then why would people move away from Reddit to another commercial site? It has been tried at least one time, and it failed (Voat). The threadiverse would probably also be considered a failure if it was a commercial operation.
Is this based on real, reliable statistics or just newspaper headlines?
“old” also means less healthy. No one wants to have backpain and the like, though the particular issue here is probably just the vanity of not wanting to look old (e.g. aged skin, thinning hair, those “I have pain in my back/legs/etc.”-postures, or even just having an outdated sense of style).
This stereotype isn’t China-specific, though. For Japan, the cutoff point would be WW2, which is the same as for most of Europe.
Interesting, seems like a very gendered issue.
Don’t east asian countries put tons of value on seniority? Is this changing, is china just not like that, or is there something else that I’m misunderstanding?
You can do that, but fediverse and threadiverse (Mastodon and Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin) are very different kinds of websites and it will lead to unexpected weirdness. Best to make a separate account for each type of thing (i.e. one for the twitter-like experience, one for the reddit-like, one for the instagram-like etc.).
Whether you use the same identity (e.g. same username on Mastodon and Piefed, linking your Mastodon profile in your Piefed profile etc.) for the whole fediverse is a matter of taste.
When in doubt (and if possible), keep your distance. You don’t have to slouch as much and I don’t have to look up as much.
Assuming they don’t already have copies through intelligence sharing agreements and have not already demanded access in secret, how exactly would most countries pressure the US, and specifically this US goverment?
I’d assume that there’s a lot of theoretically homosexual men who are in denial or very deeply closeted. I doubt these men have a large amount of man-on-man sex.
Judging by what “conservative” (far right) politicians in my country say, they specifically don’t want to give people time off. Their idea of “appriate worker’s/citizen’s rights” is more akin to “indentured servitude”.
