Is that (homeowner associations with far reaching powers) a thing in the U.S.? I mean, I do consider that the public authorities should press more on issues such as standardizing sidewalks here in Brazil, but here a private association with the power to regulate housekeeping would be outlawed and forcibly closed in the first lawsuit.

ogg vorbis, already mentioned above.

you elect a clown, you get the government of a clown, i've already said that.

i love a country.

Freedom to protest*

*Conditions apply.

work on your self-confidence and self esteem. go check a psychologist.

i'm all for it. let's build concentration camps in the astral plane and lead these untergeister to their second deaths!

undead undead undead

while i love guthrie, that machine only kills fascists if it's shoved up their milled ends.

in addition to my native brazilian portuguese, i'm fluent in english and basic to intermediate level in spanish and french. i can understand and speak roughly some german and russian too (started the courses, but never finished). my objective is to someday learn both german and russian up to intermediate level, and then go for some arabic, mandarin, kongo, nheengatu (an old creole language that mixed tupi-guarani and portuguese) and esperanto.

that's a great testimony.

more or less. my grandparents are already dead, but as far as i remember the last one living of them which i had contact with (my mother's mother) was ok with lgbtq+ people (as far as defending their right to marriage) and quite concerned with the rights of disabled, but was somehow racist towards black and indigenous people, and could not stand demonstrations of social movements (i.e. sit-ins from landless workers and squatters, strikes and the like). my parents go about the same, but my mom is much less racist.

now go check out who's got the best rail services around the world. with the possible exception of japan, who's still got some measure of trouble with some of their private operators, nearly all of the rail operators who are consistently good are state owned.

average global-northern leftist elected politician, unfortunately.

you vote for a clown, you get the government of a clown.

poor latin america who got these elites for starters.

that sounds too adventurous. most of the time it's just red dwarf.

in a sense you did, but some people do sweat too much, beyond what would be reasonable given environmental factors. it's called hyperhidrosis and can be treated, and you could even find another underlying condition that may cause it, instead of simply bad regulation of the sweat glands or nerves that control them. go check a doctor, don't suffer for no reason.

someone bring the hero of socialist labour insignia to this working class champion.

most gun enthusiasts are straight-out idiots, if not fascists/authoritarians. you can fit nice people within this hobby inside a samba bus.

my take: there's no class struggle without recognition of other oppressions, such as those of women, black people, indigenous people, immigrants, queer and so on. because they can happen even within a revolutionary context.

changing and expecting people to accept that change unconditionally.

diametrically disagreeing with your partner on some important issue of your relationship and only mentioning it way after things got serious.

bad hygiene (for olodumarè's sake, bathe daily, and if possible brush your teeth at least twice a day).

as mentioned before, being a jerk towards service providers and elderly without reason, and towards kids in general.

they dated vicki from small wonder.

right? i mean, i'm balding and i find the alternative of growing the little hair i have left far more unpleasant than just having a buzz cut. but hey, that's just preferences.

i don't think being a smoker necessarily makes you an a*shole, but surely makes other people live with the smell and the taste of tobacco. and you can't force people to do that.

seems like someone is making a jazz solo in the war drums set.

you've just described every decent public health system in several countries, many of them not really rich, such as brazil.

shout shout let it all out

watching from abroad it seems that keir has got no incentive or menace to make him go more to the left, which means he won't do it and sees this victory as a reward to his positions. meanwhile tory tactics of incorporating farage's discourse has finally broke down, and the votes they made out of it have returned to their rightful (pun intended) owner. libdems did their homework. sad for the snp and well deserved for the dup.

the first contact i had with linux back in mid-90's brazil was with my isp's login terminal, which displayed some arcane text reading "red hat linux version x.x". after that, during my father's final years working in bank of brazil he had to deal with cobra's homemade distro in his workstations (cobra had developed an unix in the 80s that run on m68k's, so no surprises here). it was an absolutely esoteric system to those who only knew the dos/windows 3.11 duo, since w95 only arrived in our country in numbers only in 96. the thing really caught on during the early to mid-2000's, with faster and cheaper adsl connections, and with them, abundant knowledge and downloads available to any script kid.

i'd have problems with that pic even if it was some sort of stalag kink.

with dutch assistance, i'd say.

it's a hazard. for bezos, of course.

me and most of the developing world have mixed feelings about the war in ukraine. at the very least it's white people's problems. at the limit we're pissed by the west trying to rally us behind a country that stopped black people from leaving when the invasion came and that is receiving many times the amount of help that many of us have received during catastrophes, against a country that, wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.

that being said, this is war and russia cannot complain that it didn't knew what was coming. deal with it (spoiler: they will).

they remained on dell, but have willingly forgone the oportunity of progressing in their career within the company in order to remain at home. some are even looking for other jobs in organizations that don't whip them back into offices.

if they d!e upon reentry, will someone pick up them cursing boeing on amateur radio?

you guys had your biggest un mission in congo, right?

good riddance, black banana asylum. you won't be missed.

and he will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

My biggest concern over .NET is exactly how closed Microsoft-land can be. For what I've seen so far, with the notable exception of perhaps Unity, pretty much everything else gravitates around MS and there's no way of leaving it.

Thanks. For the record, the Brazilian government, where I work also loved Java.
