Why would any woman want to... That's like being mad they don't have access to servant jobs on Epstein island.

Good thing the AI did not generate pro-Palestine videos or TikTok would have been banned already.

I hadn't meant to accuse you of pride, it was a poorly chosen term to indicate whether 'union of a limited subset of cultures' is a positive thing (= something to be proud of). I had no idea it would cause offense.

Some Belgian news articles mention bread mainly, also other wheat products like pasta.

Schengen is about free movement of goods and workers. You might infer cultures from there, but as soon as that culture is Syrian or Afghan, there is pushback, so I'm not sure a union of cultures actually exists here... Perhaps for a very limited subset of cultures, but I'm not sure that's something to be proud of, as that smells more of fascism than inclusion.

It was never a union of cultures. It started as an economic union of Coal and Steel...

Confiscating money held by a (private) clearing house to pay your debts seems iffy at best.

62% in Belgium, kind of surprising as the minister of Defense, a Trump admirer himself, is quite popular in the north.

Even more modern than good old surplus value extraction! We've been waiting for over 2 centuries now for these chains to be upgraded (again).

in the case of games in Japanese, it’s not so easy for developers to find alternatives. While games using English can rely on system UI fonts, cheap commercial fonts or open-source options, the sheer number of characters used in Japanese means high-quality fonts are extremely difficult and expensive to make, so few affordable alternatives are available. This is what made LETS an important service, but its revamped pricing and limitations have now put it beyond the reach of a good chunk of developers.

Interesting stuff!
