Doesn't really matter if you don't do business in the EU anyway, and AFAIK, no Lemmy instances are businesses.

Nah, it's a Next.js error.

Damn TIL! So much for my religious education.

...and where did all the people that came after Cain and Abel come from? Who was their mother?

Note that it's not "will have to be" sold off, it's that the demand is for that to happen. The case still has to play out (including appeals) before we know what the actual consequences will be.

Maybe it depends on the urinal? In the US I have seen urinals that basically reach from the floor to your waist, which I imagine involves some splashing. Here in Europe I've only seen the ones that are way smaller, around waist height.

Worst thing is that that usually cost more effort.

Agreed, although I'd posit that we were able to get the strong social safety thanks in large part to the multi-party democracy. But otherwise, yes, agreed on all counts.

In the EU, but my point is that the scale is way different. I'm in the Netherlands, and the far-right resurgence here is still being kept in check to some extent by the other parties. I shudder to think what would happen if they could do what they want just because they're the largest, but they can't.

Damn jongleurs!

(But thanks for teaching me something today!)

I'm not so sure. I'm from a multi-party democracy, and while the ultra-rich (or, well, mega-rich I suppose - the US's ultra-rich are at a different level I think) certainly have their interests catered to, I feel like on balance the scales are tipped to their benefit to a way smaller extent, largely thanks to the multi-party system.

Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.

Oh yeah, I mean, obviously, no contention there.
