Pride events are about acceptance (and tolerance). Without pride events, there are no funds for the things you want funds for. So, while having fun while people are hurting can seem wasteful, pride events ensure less people are hurting.

Which is the point of the requirement we're talking about, lol!

As a non car owner, I'd love to agree. Banning car spots and cars is not yet feasible for most people. So, not having those spots available would make those kind of developments harmful for the rest of the community, further marginalizing them.

What is more likely to work is to make the regulation more flexible. So community cars count as 2 or 3 private cars. Then the complex needs less spaces.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. However, they are also creative or adventurous with graphics and art direction.

I wish you the best with dating and you sound quite mature from this and other posts.

As others have mentioned, you might find it tricky to find someone your own age that is ready to voluntarily take on parental responsibilities. However, I'd also warn to be cautious of older men, as some have suggested, as you may find that leads to a power imbalance, especially if financial support is one of the things you're looking for.

You've mentioned what you're looking for. I think it's worth reflecting on what you're offering for the relationship too. I'm sure you're a lovely person with lots to offer on a.personal and emotional level, but a lot of the post talks about what you're looking to, as benefits for you, rather than what you could both gain.

I say this more in the way of again, being concerned that if you seek to gain these things from the relationship, or you see the relationship as something for you to personally gain from, then you'll find someone who also is looking for things in the relationship, beyond the relationship itself. If you've already been in an abusive relationship, I'd worry that it reoccurs.

Instead of looking at what they can offer financially and looking at long term goals, of be looking at compatibility, friendship and respect as being the goals. If the relationship is to succeed and lead to financial interdependence and child rearing, it needs to start on solid ground.

I don't think, like others that it needs to be something you raise before a date, but it's certainly something you would need to raise before getting intimate emotionally, sexually or otherwise. That's likely to lead to more wasted dates, but if youre leading with lots of reasons not to date, from the other partners perspective, it will be less likely to make that first step. That is not to say you should be disingenuous. If it comes up naturally, or you're asked, you should be honest.

I know it's common in my city, Sydney, for apartment complexes to build enough car spaces for the occupants. Part of the issue is that of they didn't have that requirement, none would be built, I steady putting extra pressure on street parking and public parking facilities. Residents of those complexes also have no entitlement to a parking permit, which older houses without spots do have.

Nowadays, in inner city with less car need, the spaces required is reduced, with some spots reserved for car share schemes instead.

So, like everything, blanket rules aren't great but rules are needed for a reason.

They already are. Just with official approval.

So much for showing all sides. Does that only apply when it's anti trans? Or anti Zionism?

Yeah, even look at Sony. Recent franchises include a genetically modified clone orphan living in a land of sentient machines with vivid colours.

A father daughter love story told in the time of a zombie apocalypse. (Recent is doing a lot of lifting, lol,)

A samurai warrior, believed dead in a beautiful version of Japan, who sues the wind for direction. Here it's more the art direction.

Older hits, instead of using cars, used floating race pods. Some told stories using forward and back through time to allow a player and their inner soul/ghost explore areas differently. Others has you play as a set of androids staring to become sentient and making decisions for or against their programming, for their or others benefit.

The quirkiness has always been there. There is also lots of generic stuff and copied stuff. Wherever art and business collide, that's always the case.

Well, yes it has. Australia, and a person being assaulted, is the data point you were using to say dissent was not allowed. There have been weekly peaceful protests in Sydney, with police keeping it safe. ACAB may be true but there is varying degrees and Australian police are not the same as american. This was likely a case of police violence towards protest, irrespective of ideology.

All those different countries have people, as you say, with differing views. You're equating the act of government as being their belief and they have all had rallies and protests. Dissent is not banned by any means. The number of people opposed to genocide or aware of the seriousness of genocide is growing. That is changing the politics.

You should be aware that in Sydney, there have also been antisemitic attacks on child care centres, schools, businesses and there have also been false flag terrorist attacks against Jews too. So, the situation in Australia is nowhere near as clear cut as you are presenting.

Yes, in a thread about global permissions to criticize. As it happens a friend of a friends knows her as she's active in the green party. She (the victim) was there as a legal observer, and is a lawyer, so very unlikely she was doing anything to warrant the assault.

So, to answer your point, despite the post being about Australia, this thread is about the global response.

I agree, deportation if an EU citizen is unusual. That happened months ago. My point is that the tide has turned, even in Germany. It's been permitted elsewhere indefinitely. The deportation was a sign of Gen breaking norms to support. There were also indications that of netanyahu came to France or Germany, he wouldn't be arrested. There were also indications that he would, so he didn't dare. Just like Putin hasn't.

In Sydney, where this assault happened there are weekly peaceful pro-palesrinian protests in Hyde park since the October 7th response. So, are you trying to say criticism or Israel is not permitted in Australia, based on this, or just trying to shift the goalposts again?

The league of Arab nations. I think it is a body representing 50ish Islamic nations.

German politicians have until recently been saying that Israel is justified. They are now making statements that Israel has overstepped the line. Most people already see that. However, the point is about whether criticism of Israel is allowed. It is, both by people and politicians. There are also instances of EU(Irish) citizens being deported due to Palestine support. I purposely was pointing to mistakes most staunch supporter, to show that their support is diminishing.

Yes, there has been dancing since the October attack. Exactly my point. Criticism is not banned. Support for Israel is aiding genocide at this point. It seems the countries who support Israel most are those that sell them military supplies.

 

When I go to a post with video media, on iPad, there doesn't seem to be a way to exit. For images, they can be swiped away or touch outside to exit. For videos, ice tried different gestures and there is no back button or X.

I use Android daily, with a back swipe gesture, but there is no such gesture I'm aware of on iPad. Does anyone know how or should I submit a bug or feature request?

 

I’m trying to set containers for some websites on a shared windows terminal with multiple users under the same login. We use some cloud software and each user has their own log in. Manually opening websites in container manager allows this, but I’m struggling to do so for opening in container for the home page.

Each log in just launches in the default container (unassigned). I’ve tried using bookmark tree, which seems to support containers, but I can’t get it to work. Assigning a site to always open in a container doesn’t seem to work either as it’s the same site for multiple users (which seems to be the purpose of multi account container), so if it always opens in container A, person B still needs to manually open in their container.

 

I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

 

My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.
