Can confirm. There are a lot of strays in my country, my parents always leave food in the garden, so they have quite the colony in the garden now.

Yes they are. It’s a bunch of armchair political experts confidently talking out of their buttholes.
There IS a racist political movement, which is often referred as Grey Wolves abroad who think they own the symbol, but leaving an ancient cultural story to a bunch of fucks is the stupidest thing ever. This is the same level of stupid as saying Pepe the Frog is a white supremacist symbol.

No they are not right. I can’t know the political views of someone in some shitpost, but the original grey wolf symbolim comes from Turkic mythology, which is today being co-opted by racist fucks. It still gets used ironically to make fun of those fucks (just like posting Musk’s Nazi salute doesn’t automatically make you a nazi if you are making fun of him).
In addition, some people want to reclaim the symbolism, because it’s ancient mythology, why would we leave it to them, right?

- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 1 week ago:
That’s only part of the story. Seeking more wealth to spend more is not healthy in my opinion but humanly understandable.
There is an inflection point, I don’t know what level of wealth brings it, but after that it is not about earning more to spend more, it’s just growing your wealth for the sake of growing it. It becomes a game of increasing some numbers at the expense of everybody else.

So the hardware is capable, but refuses to work until someone pays for the licensing cost. Yay capitalism bringing innovation!

There is no middle class. There are only working class and wealth class. Just because you are high earner in an office job doesn’t mean you’re not working class.

Besides, it can still be made consensual. Change the contract. Elves prefer being servants? Let them stay as servants willingly while having the option to leave if they prefer so. Keeping only the two extremes yall are slaves and yall are fired also is a pretty much pro-slavery position.

America is the big mixed bag. I think we’re better and stronger that way.
You answered your own question.
- Comment on Had to look this up 1 week ago:
That makes the whole SPEW thing even more hilarious. Imagine a black girl starts a campaign to end slavery of house elves, and everybody makes fun of her. The fucking author’s position ins that the elves actually prefer slavery and Hermione is stupid for trying to end that.

That’s the main delusion of every MAGA,fascist,racist, Islamist, whatever “I’m superior by birth” ideology everywhere: they believe they are the elite.

Not exactly that but Jolla might be interesting for you. I had the first edition of the device in 2014 and I loved it.

Qualcomm is getting close with Elite series, but Apple still has the lead. Others are pretty behind in performance. Mediatek is fine if your only use case is watching YouTube.
