Better a muzzled monarchy than a power vacuum every time, it's worked in the UK, Spain, (um... probably elsewhere but it worked well enough in those two places after their autocratic dictators kicked the bucket, and look where it left Russia and to an extent Italy - mafia, economy stagnating etc)

For mammals we are, sure, but there's loads of things that'd kill humans that other animals chow down on perfectly happily, especially when it comes to microorganisms, mushrooms and the rotting things they're often found in/around

I don't think scavenging is right also given that humans used to mainly pick fresh fruits and persistence hunt, both of which are very fresh food which is not overlooked or left by others... Given the fact we picked fresh fruits and hunted for fresh meat, being resistant to berry and fruit based poisons was more important than microorganism based ones, so it makes a lot of sense that so many of the non-intoxicating poisons we like are from fruits and berries

what like "Tommy Robinson, Whose Real Name Is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon", where you have to use the full name at all times

I'd love to see Bing or Qwant or Yandex (to be honest ideally Bing as they share their index) get a similar deal for StackOverflow or Github just to give Google a taste of their own medicine now

4-5 years is way too much, yes, but when your "peaceful protest" is causing ~~deaths~~ hospitalisations by causing car crashes and delaying ambulances I think you both deserve some sort of repercussions and to lose the right to call it a peaceful protest

It makes sense to support the Arabs who got displaced from their homes by Israeli settlers, as well as Jews who were forced out of theirs due to their religion and had nowhere else to go but Israel, but if you're a member of one of those groups and can't empathise with the other (eg Hamas, IDF and their supporters) then you should get no sympathy at all.

I mean that situation describes almost any student in higher education, along with people in long term relationships who are yet to move in together - frankly those two cases more than likely make up the majority of people with two homes

On Fairphone, they flat out refuse to even discuss adding a headphone jack (check the posts in their forums - it's a "hands over ears" no) so I'm sticking with Sony/ASUS (the latter atm as they've been slightly less anticompetitive recently but I'd much rather go to a decent company) until they do... It's not like you notice a phone being 1mm thicker when you have a 3mm case on it anyway

Elf employment isn't cheap since they passed all those workers rights laws... Gotta get funding somehow and mall appearance fees only go so far

Same in my office in the UK, I got asked if I was not taking enough breaks or doing work outside of work hours as I was doing more than they expected and my manager was worried about me burning out, but having a chill atmosphere and a nice place to hang out and chill in the office just means that I can be more productive and happier at work so it's a win-win... A lot of HR types don't realise that it takes a nice office in both material and culture to make people productive and just go for the former which has the lower effect of the two when used alone.
