Just came to say you’re a coward and an idiot. If you want change, run for elections or lead a direct action movement instead of insulting people actually trying. What bad logic are using to insult the person who ran and lost instead of the person who won and who is threatening to make everyone’s lives worse? again coward and an idiot

Thanks, I will export and import my profile. Hopefully things will be smoother in the future, but being able to export the some of the profile is better than nothing

Thanks for answering. I will do this

Thanks! Will do this

Thanks. I wonder why this is a low priority. If the people attracted t the fediverse want decentralization and interoperability, it would make sense that many people would want to migrate from one instance to another as easily and smoothly as possible.

Thanks again for the detailed answer

“The Chennai plant is Samsung’s second-largest in the country and generates nearly one-third of Samsung’s annual revenue in India, which amounts to $12 billion (€10.8 billion).”

Jesus, the plant makes nearly $4 billion annually but these workers are only paid around 300 USD a month and want increases to 428 a month within three years.

Also, I always appreciated how he stood up for Lisa when the king was being disrespectful

Good to see people calling out NYT for their nonsense

Homophobia unfortunately has a strong hold through most of Africa at the moment. Hopefully we will overcome it as a continent. Anyways, I wish Senegal success in curbing corruption and looting.

"The German government has said the deal does not specify the number of workers who will be allowed in. "

I think BBC edited the article after you posted this but I couldn’t find the 250000 number from the title.

In any case this is great news for both countries.

This price is impossibly cheap even compared to other Chinese built trains in other African countries. Something must be off

Makes sense! I think France, and all countries that had slave colonies, should pay back the equivalent of the profits they made from slavery with interest. It won’t take away the atrocities that were committed but it is part of justice.

More rail infrastructure in Africa is great news!

For everyone commenting about debt traps, from an African perspective both Western debt and Chinese debt (or any type of debt) favor the creditors but Chinese loans are relatively advantages because

(1) they tend to focus on infrastructure that the respective countries can use to their advantage as opposed to the WB or IMF loans which promote neoliberalism that has never worked in Africa (or really any other place) and push Africa in a position to only be able to provide raw materials and never be able to switch to value added products.

(2) They push other richer countries interested in African to invest more if they want to compete with China. The US for example has made plans to invest in African infrastructure to compete with China:

(3) If the debtor countries default on the loan or want to renegotiate, China (at least so far) doesn’t use its intelligence agencies and military agencies to destabilize your country or force regime change

I like that in the netflix version they added scenes that weren’t in the original. My favorite is the scene of Lu Ten’s funeral. Iroh is just sitting there silent but you can see on his face that is he is broken inside but everyone comes up to him and congratulates him that his son died a hero. No one says it but for me it felt like in the fire nation culture you’re not allowed to mourn the death of those who died in battle, which is a crazy concepts but fits with the Fire Nations fascist ideology.

I couldn’t find the whole scene, but here is the last part of it (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=hwPn2gJ1B_U). For context, Zuko has gone up to Iroh and said that Lu Ten’s death is great honor. But when he was about to leave he comes back and thats when the above video starts.

These scenes add so much to the character of Iroh, Zuko, Lu Ten (whose character we did know anything about in the original) and to war-time Fire Nation culture. It’s amazing!

Tried neal.fun based on your recommendation and its been keeping me amazed all day!! Thank you!

I thought *Ffmpeg * meant something else

This is a really interesting idea. Are there any case studies where this has been tried?
