Fair, but this is kind of a "not all men!!" thing to point out. The vast majority of sex workers are women, the vast majority of people being victims to sex trafficking are women. The vast majority of people paying for sex are men. Just face it.

So, to clarify. Sweden has for a very long time a system where buying sex is illegal but selling sex is legal. This is to make sure the man buying is considered criminal and the woman selling a victim. This new ban is just a way to keep it that way online as well.

What becomes illegal is paying for custom personalized performances (because a man can say "I'll give you $1000 if you stick this painful thing up your ass", which can be a difficult request to deny if you are poor), but selling prerecorded stuff will not be banned.

Stalin is literally the closest thing we have to Adolf Hitler that isn't Adolf Hitler. You realize Stalin did mass-scale ethnic cleansing? You also realize Stalin was ALLIED with the Nazis in the beginning?

Thing is, even devoutly Christians in Europe can't relate to their US equivalents. They're way different.

Canada is also a member of the Commonwealth, so the UK would pretty much be forced to go to war against the US if Canada was invaded.

Capitalism-lover hates competition. Interesting.

Ha, that's really interesting. Swedish has an interesting example of this as well.

Plural you ("y'all", basically) used to be "i", but because of an archaic inflection rule, there were often an "n" at the end of a word before "i" (like, "när kommen i?"; "when are y'all coming?"). Because of this, "i" eventually turned into "ni" since the n of the previous word merged with i.

If the US wants to be involved or not is up to you guys, that's fair. It's our cause, first and foremost. But what Trump is doing now is not "not getting involved". He is actively sabotaging and siding with Russia. I'd be fine if he just shut up and minded his own business, but he is very much involved right now and even says Europe should not take part in negotiations. So on the one hand, he says it's Europe's cause, but on the other, he acts like it's his his own cause. It's once again Trump being Trump.

This is false, the EU donated more than the US. Trump says otherwise, yes, but he is lying.

Nuclear war is exactly what Trump is risking right now. Russia will go to war again if Trump gives them "peace". Only next time, they will attack a NATO country.

Because Russia did not want peace. "Why are Russia interested in a peace deal now then?", you might ask. Because Trump is not going to negotiate them a peace "deal". He is going to give them victory.

Depends on how many you follow. Lemmy is way more dead than Mastodon for me.

Exactly this

Awesome

That wasn't my point at all. I just meant that it is sad that this shit is happening but that it is what was elected by the majority. I am absolutely not saying people should not protest. My "good luck" was not sarcastic or anything, I really meant it.

Late reply, I didn't get a notification until now for some reason.

Ubuntu 6.04. It was really simple to get it up and running even back then.

Good luck... But I'm afraid this is what you voted for.

What's the deal with linking the NATO membership with random fighter jets

Sounds like a great place to live!

Damn that must be so extremely emotional.

Yes, but I am European as well (Swedish), and up until like three years or so, I would fully agree, but the damn american trucks have become really common here the last years.
