Randomly drawing citizen. Sure politics require some training, but it can be done on the job

Also, countries with proportional votes tend to force politicians to talk with each other more than countries with single representative per district.

Limiting elected official mandates to one or two. If you couldn’t do something in 10 years no reason to think you’ll do it latter

A quick search tell me that in Belgium the minimal wage is 2000€ sauce before tax.

So yes one million is above a lifetime of work for many persons, definitely rich

The whole political discussion about Internet media licensing, like a 10-15€ tax to finance artists while making piracy global. In the end we have the same except it’s financing Internet millionaires over artists

What about spicy oil? It’s at least how I see it served, but may be there it even more traditional

Outside, they do organizer’s targeted drones strikes, special force operation against terrorism. Pretty sure it’s a documented fact.

Inside? I am naive enough to believe that they don’t beside some leeway from the other room section when elite cops involved in counter terrorism shoot someone

A French environmentalists organization which was disbanded for being “eco terrorists” for Conservative use the ground symbol as a logo.

Alice is missing : Content warning, it’s a game about a missing kid, Bullying and sexual harrassment will be at the table, it’s also a game with a lot of bleed potential. The game mechanic using text messaging is pretty great, and the sound track is amazing.

I had a really good surprise when discorvering the Forged in the Dark mechanics which are PBTA with a bit more rule. Works quite well, but like many other story first game, it pushes more improv style and less prepare awesome stories

Wouldn’t this be illegal under GDPR as you didn’t consent?

TIL, thanks

I speak english well enough to not need translation/subs when watching obscure American movies :)

(Since you talked about foreign movie, I assume American movies count as foreign)

Do it on dedicated communities. I don’t see why US election deserve more credit on global communities than French. German or Belgian ones.

Pretty sure there is a /c for US news and politics

Issue is that “old people” had to spend their time in the army, sometimes even in a foreign land (Good old time of the colonial war), so kids these day feel so privileged

I mean, we can blame the boomer for a lot of thing, but in the 60’s and sometimes 70’s (In many countries) young men had no option but do a military service which way involved going to fight to keep the colonies.

Babies can get a passport from day 1. Bring the local birth certificate to the consulate and get a passport. It may even be possible to get an emergency one (but I doubt many mother and kids are deemed able to travel internationally within the first 1-2 weeks)

I got my Kendo first dan during winter, and work toward the second (and the Iaido first dan).

Obviously not for self defence because I don’t carry a katana, but hitting people with swords while yelling is fun. I feel like the whole mold the body and the mind through the sword in order to build better human feels a bit like bullshit. That said, it’s a great patience school both with the slow learning and the don’t do anything stupid, and wait to be 100% sure before attacking

It’s not self explanory. It’s strongly tied to a culture or even a person.

I don’t see anything bad in not being married nor having different skillet than your parents. Let alone honor being used to kill women and in general justify violence from the powerful to the weak

Everything is political. Bill gate’s letter to the hobbyist in the 70’s is a political pamphlet

What does "without any connection to LW means ? There is a lot of lemmy instances, plenty being active. Which language do you look for ? Which kind of content do you like ? Do you want a big generic instance (SJW, Lemmee), a niche instance (ttrpg network, grad), a national instance (feddit), do you want downvotes to be turned off (Blahaj) ? Do you want to use lemmy or mbin ?

Actually, lemmy’s communities tends to be way more laid back than reddit or twitter. It’s a small social network, even when counting the whole fediverse, and you always see known face on their alt accounts.

Just avoid trolling and go too far in the politics/news section
