France doesn't have conditions for recognition.

This is good news and yet another reason I am happy with my voting decision this year.

I still find music the old school way, either through people I know recommending it or hearing it randomly in my travels.

They need to get their heads on straight.

Having them slanted to the right is a big part of the problem.

It is really weird to me that you felt the need to do this.

I wasn't able to find any 3rd party sources verifying this.

This is fucking terrifying.

We need to deal with these people yesterday.

I say this with the express purpose to "Knock some sense into you", and in no way intend this to be offensive to you:

You are not ready for a relationship. That is clear from your behavior, and emotional state. You need help if you have reached this point in life, and have no understanding that you aren't the center of the universe. This is clear because you "allow" yourself to disconnect from them when you need time, and lose it when they have time with others.

This is an incredibly toxic way of being, and you should not "work on yourself" in the course of a relationship knowing how unstable your emotions are, and how immature your thinking process' are.

All of that to say:

• Yes, you should prioritize being alone right now. Not isolated, but single. Have friends, don't pursue romantic relationships.

• Find hobbies you enjoy and get good at them. Read books. Make yourself a person who you like to be around.

• Talk to someone you trust about how you are feeling. This is important. Ask for help dealing with these emotions and thoughts. If no one in your life can do it, seek a counselor. They can help you gain the skills needed to deal with your thoughts and emotions.

When you are done working on yourself, and you are able to be comfortable being alone, then you can start thinking about romantic relationships.

Right now this situation is not good for you or her, and it is best to hit the brakes and get yourself together first.

He has given no indication of it, and it is currently canceled.

"To support those negotiations, the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States."

Seems that the rescinding of this legislation is tied to a "mutually beneficial and comprehensive trade arrangement" demonstrating that the DST is not currently completely off the table. In fact, the legislation to rescind it hasn't been tabled yet.

"The June 30, 2025 collection will be halted, and Minister Champagne will soon bring forward legislation to rescind the Digital Services Tax Act."

What information do you have that says we won’t institute the DST in the future if no deal is reached?

I don't honestly believe it is possible to ever truly "know yourself", so I would say all traits are unknowable.

The reason I say this is because one doesn't ever know how they will react in any given situation until it happens. One can train, one can prepare, but until they are in an exact situation with exact circumstances one cannot declare with certainty what they will do.

I do not believe in free will as well, so that is another point against "knowing yourself" for me as all "you" are is an observer to the experiences that aren't controllable in the first place.

That is not to say that one cannot predict with some accuracy how they will behave, but with so many unknown factors involved with simply existing (like the fact that we forget things that happened and remember things that didn't; Can be impacted by unknown emotional states; etc), I do not believe anyone can be certain of themselves even with detailed notes and 3rd party help.

Nuclear weapons are the single biggest mistake humanity has ever made next to the Industrial revolution.

We still fight horribly bloody wars even with the threat of nuclear annihilation. It is obvious that nuclear weapons do nothing but make everything worse, and the materials used to create them would be better used for energy generation.

If we were smart we would decommission every weapon on the planet and ensure no group or person can make another one, and put the materials to a better use.

I am guessing they are referring to the education programs under UNRWA that allegedly were unaltered and issued by the Palestinian Authority which promoted and instilled hate of Israelis.

If anyone is interested in the details surrounding that entire situation.
