    “I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,” Vance added. “But European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech.

    The US ranked 26th in the world when it comes to free speech, with several members of the European Union higher up the list, according to the 2024 Global Expression Report.

    My beautiful new currency is taking the market by a landslide, and we are not even there yet. We have just started. And you know what? We’re doing great. But we’re getting there. You know, they say that if Trump doesn’t start his own crypto, it’s over. It’s over, folks. If he does, no currency is ever going to be better. They’re never gonna — he’s got such great ideas. He’s done an incredible job for us. So we’ll see what happens, but I’m telling you, this is one of those things.

    In February of this year, they laid 11,000 children’s outfits along three miles of Bournemouth beach, to represent the children killed in Gaza. “We wanted people to be able to feel what that many kids is like,” Sadri says. “1,000 kids, 10,000 kids, there’s absolutely no difference when you’re watching Channel 4 News. How do you turn that into something experiential?” What’s happening in Palestine is affecting how he sees everything,

    Salute to these guys. It is painful to read about all these children murdered by Israel.

    you couldn’t just hall off to the Bahamas or whatever

    You absolutely can, with a child.

    It may not be a ‘job’, but it is still work

    Nope. Of course you can define "work" as anything you do, including brushing your teeth and watching telly if you want - but looking after the baby is not something I would ever describe as "work".

    I looked after a baby. First two weeks were very difficult. After that you get used to the routine and I definitely wouldn't call that time "work" - it was a pleasure being able to spend time with my child. It was definitely a time off - I didn't have to go to work every day, I had time to get some more time for myself etc.

    I thought I would put my comment here to avoid ridiculous Guardian censorship which they call "moderation":

    Actually this is a year off work so very much a "year off".

    Of course just exhibiting one symptom, doesn't mean he is schizophrenic.

    He is not. He is just a cunt, without any mental disorder apart from sociopathy and extreme narcissism.

    Portugal job market

    Hi all, I have some questions regarding jobs in Portugal. I was going through the adverts and I have noticed they are all missing a salary - is it normal? How would I know what they are offering? Would they respond with a salary if I just email them? Are there international companies in Portugal where working language would be English rather than Portuguese? How do Portuguese companies look at working from home? Is coming to the office once a week an option? I am referring to more senior positions.

    In Brighton, a very small group of right-wing protesters are facing down hundreds of counter-protesters

    From the Guardian: "In Brighton, a very small group of right-wing protesters are facing down hundreds of counter-protesters outside a law office designated as one of the targets on a list circulated on social media. The counter protesters are chanting “Fascist scum, off our streets”, and “refugees are welcome here”, receiving some hoots of support from passing traffic. A person in the building across the road has just put up a sign in its window reading “Fuck off fascists”. The police have encircled the right-wing protesters for their own protection, and are closing down the street." https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2024/aug/07/uk-riots-far-right-latest-unrest-southport-stabbings-politics?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-66b3ba3c8f083a2e0d340434#block-66b3ba3c8f083a2e0d340434

    Flag is just a piece of cloth

    I don't understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump's rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - "it cannot touch the ground" etc. At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    "Drowning" of Patryk Palczynski

    Patryk Palczynski was 24 years old when we left his family home in June 2010, supposedly for a boat/yacht cruise where he was supposed to be a sailor. Unlike previous times, this time he didn't tell his mom any details. He packed his belongings and took with him 50 dollars in one note. He turned off this phone that night with no further contact with his mom. His body has been found ashore 14th July. His hands were tied behind his back. Pavement flagstones were attached to his body. He had with him 20 dollars in one note and a turtle medallion which his mother claims wasn't his. The police and the prosecutor ruled that he pulled the pavements stones, attached to his body, tied his hands behind his back and finally jumped into the sea in the Gdansk harbour. Then allegedly currents moved his body where it was subsequently found. That is despite: - no such currents in this part of the sea - no CCTV capturing him doing either of these things - no any evidence he was suicidal - him having things he didn't have with him when he left (20 dollars note, medallion) which is an evidence he didn't commit suicide that night (which is what the police claims) Not to mention ridiculousness of the theory about the guy tieing up his hands behind his own back to commit suicide.
