This GIF embodies everything cringe that I hate about modern performative D&D 🤮

@tiagopita @JoaoFern86 This is what Portugal is a failed nation. Incompetent, uneducated pseudo-intelectuals casting uneducated opinions and immediately reverting to insults and offended feelings when someone tells them they are wrong. Know your station and be humble.

@pedro____world *deve-se mudar de

@Ginja_not E quanto lhes foi exigido? Ou sente que revelar os valores específicos pode ir contra a demagogia que por aqui espalhada?

@Ginja_not Portanto, não vê sequer o problema em comparar reformas entre países com totais de descontos diferentes? Se em Portugal se descontou muito menos, de onde virá o dinheiro em falta para pagar as pequenas reformas de 2600€? (2 x o salário médio)

@Ginja_not Em vez de responder directamente, tirou um screenshot para vir continuar a propaganda sem oposição...

If you had trusted the settled science of the day, here is how it would have gone. 1890s: you dose the baby with Bayer's new cough syrup, the non-addictive alternative to morphine, marketed for children. It was heroin. They named it after the German for heroic. 1900s: you rub calomel teething powder on your infant's gums. It is a mercury compound, and it leaves a generation with pink disease. Swollen, peeling hands and feet, screaming for months, and some of them died. 1910s: you cook in Crisco, launched by a soap and candle company, because cottonseed oil is modern and lard is what your mother used. The process that made it solid produced trans fat, banned outright a century later. 1920s: you drink Radithor, certified radioactive water, on prescription. Eben Byers took fourteen hundred bottles for his vitality. His jaw was removed in pieces and he was buried in a lead coffin. 1930s: a chemist dissolves a new sulfa drug in diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze. It kills 107 people, mostly children, and only then does America give the FDA power to demand safety testing. 1940s: your doctor lights a Camel in the surgery. More doctors smoke them than any other brand, and the advert runs in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which sold him the page. 1950s: DDT is sprayed over your kitchen, your garden and your children at school. The man who found its insecticidal properties has already been given a Nobel Prize. 1960s: your wife takes thalidomide for morning sickness because it is remarkably safe. More than ten thousand children are born with missing and shortened limbs. 1970s: the country puts down the butter and picks up the margarine, on the instruction of the American Heart Association. The fat everybody switched to was banned in 2015 as unsafe at any level. 1980s: the fat comes out of everything and sugar goes back in to make it edible. Obesity begins a climb it has never come off. 1990s: your father is prescribed OxyContin, because fewer than one per cent get addicted. The company later pleads guilty to criminal misbranding, and the overdose count runs into hundreds of thousands. 2000s: you take Vioxx for your knee. It is pulled in 2004, and the FDA's own safety officer estimates tens of thousands of excess heart attacks. Not one of those was fringe. Every one had a professional body, a literature and a man in a white coat standing behind it. Nobody who followed that advice was stupid. They were obedient, to the most qualified people available. Settled is a word about money. It means the questions stopped being funded, so they stopped being asked. So which of today's instructions will your grandchildren read out in disbelief. The oil washed in hexane and built into every cell you own. The statin that blocks the pathway making your hormones, to prevent one heart attack per hundred people. The injection where a third of the loss is muscle. The infant formula built out of vegetable oil. All settled. None of it funded to be otherwise.

Já dar um tiro numa turista sueca em plena baixa de Lisboa não é crime e pode ir para casa, na boa. As prioridades e preocupações desta gente são seletivas.

The EU just ruined my small business I have worked on for five years. I did 12 hour days for months at the beginning. I have no words.

@JorgeXiguevenga @Manu1503 Por cada €1 na Galp: ~€0,47 é imposto (ISP+IVA+carbono), ~€0,53 é custo do produto+distribuição, e o lucro real da Galp fica por ~€0,02-0,03 (2-3 cêntimos). A maior parte do lucro do grupo nem vem da bomba, vem do petróleo no Brasil e do trading de gás. A culpa é da Galp?

@AstronautSurf @LundukeJournal Might also be an effort to force people/companies to pay for support for their linux. This will create an edge for large companies that can maintain forks or packages with additional support.

Elon: it says here we're spending $80b for "save the baby pandas" treasury: yeah Elon: hmm, well have we ever seen the pandas? treasury: no Elon: text them right now, ask for a photo of the pandas treasury: uhhh, we're not allowed to do that Elon: do they at least submit an invoice and have a "charitable Panda causes" code? treasury: no Elon: we don't even have invoice codes?! how do we know they have a contract with us treasury: it's kinda the honor system with these NGOs Elon: well how about an address, do they have an address treasury: I already know you're not going to like this, it's in Somalia Elon: 😑

@fodaille Tu alguma vez sequer viste uma enxada? É a capinar e a beincar aos agricultores que se melhora o país... Vai trabalhar em algo produtivo e deixa o planeamento para quem sabe...

@EuropeanPan Or again, plausible deniability. Voted indirectly by approving the urgent procedure and then go on vacation to be able to claim they had nothing to do with it. Fuck the citizen and claim to be their defender.

@EuropeanPan To make matters worse, you make it seem that the poor MEPs couldn't vote no because they were swindled. In reality they are just incompetent. Live off of the taxpayers and then put their personal fucking vacation over such an important vote. How unprofessional can you be?

@SimonHoiberg @planksdirect Let's test it. Tell me how you are gonna use a VPN in a way that your ISP cannot detect and I'll see if I can find a hole in your theory.
