Well the simple answer is that doing that is the easiest way to divide the masses and turn them against one another, thus allowing the rich to maintain control and do what they want

This whole screenshot is basically one state's propaganda machine vs. another.
Just because the Chinese propaganda machine is acting the straight man in this particular interaction, doesn't mean they don't have skeletons in their own closet
Exactly. Most people get into crime because their backs are to the wall. They're stuck in debt due to medical treatments they had to get, they're struggling to pay obscene rent prices and risk being kicked out their home - there's plenty of reasons, and much of it is down to poverty.
If you give people legitimate, easily accessible support nets that are enough to actually survive on, then you'll get less crime. It's rather simple.
In all fairness, the concept of owning things isn't unique to capitalism - it's Personal property vs. "Private" property. Whether it's money or bartering, the things you bought you own via your own hard work, and that's your personal property.
Private property shouldn't be a thing. A corporation shouldn't own anything - there should always be a person on that contract that can be held to account. If you want to profit from your enterprise, you should be prepared to go down with it.
Working in a field were I have to perform a lot of these types of tests, you'd be surprised how many look like Covid tests at a glance - always look at the labelling.
Also, in this form factor you'd pee into a container and pipette a very small amount into the test using the (usually) accompanying tiny pipette.
I'd do another test to be sure, but even a faint line can indicate a positive result (similar to Covid tests of the same form factor)
It ia very much an English speaking world thing, but I wouldn't say US-centric as we have basically the same greeting in the UK.
Yeah, that wouldn't fly as much here either - if somebody asked how my day was, I'd be inclined to think they want a summary at least.
Unless Anon is willing to put in some serious work, like properly going back to school or busting their ass learning (and getting good at) a trade, then their life is kinda fucked.
You can't just crawl out of almost 20 years of NEETing into really any kind of job, especially without the charisma to at least try masking it.
Also fuck knows why Anon's parents just let them drop out of school and basically cease to exist outside of playing videogames for best part of two decades. That's plain bad parenting.
As others have pointed out, the problem is "How are you?" on its own is generally a greeting not a question.
As such the answer is largely irrelevant - so while it doesn't have to be outright lie, the answer shouldn't be longer than a single statement and shouldn't make the other person feel like they need to be concerned.
If you want a slightly less beaming answer you could go with "Alright", "same old, same old", "same as always", or "Eh, could be worse", or any of the other suggestions already made.
Well it's good to know everyone is starting to agree with the Remainers... Nearly a decade too late.
For her part, the chancellor told BBC News that she thought “sustainable aviation and economic growth go hand in hand"
As said in the article, the technology to reasonably decarbonise planes doesn't really exist yet - so the only path to "sustainable aviation" is to reduce it to the point it can be properly offset by other decarbonisation efforts.
That makes these two concepts almost entirely mutually exclusive without proper planning, and just slapping multiple airport expansions down then saying "It's fine, we'll plant a few trees at some point" doesn't fucking cut it.
I've been using protonmail basically since its inception for money-related stuff (due to it being secure), and the one time I've had a fraud flag appear while using it was due to being on a VPN at the same time.
... But I've had that also happen when I used to daily drive Gmail, so I can't imagine the Proton part made the difference.
Obviously anecdotes aren't very good evidence, and maybe in your experience it was your email - but if that is the case, I'd be weary of any provider that automatically flags non-"big tech" addresses as fraudulent. That likely means they're rather lazy about their cybersecurity.
