It will still happen is a bit of a fallacy. It’s one less person doing that job but I agree that one person won’t make a meaningful change

However the thing that changes is that if you reject that job you reduced by 100% your direct contribution to people killing missiles. Someone else will design that missile but at least you won’t have to live with the guilt that you did

Now, if it’s between that and a much worse life, I won’t blame anyone. But it’s a choice that everyone has to make for themselves. Personally I have possibility to reject those offers, and so I do.

FYI when we’re talking about taxing the rich and wealth we’re not talking about doctors and lawyers even if they still make a fuck ton because they are still getting paid for their labour and they need to work in order to maintain their lifestyle even if they would be considered rich.

What we’re talking about are people who make their living through their capital I.e. due to the exploitation of other people.

Not to be a downer but I’ve talked with a deputy of the European Parliament that opposed chat control and they were getting so many emails that they just had to create a filter to immediately get rid of these emails as otherwise their email inbox would just get full and they literally couldn’t work (as they wouldn’t be able to receive other emails).

And this is from someone that is on our side. I assume that people that are actually for this bill will be getting blasted even more and will care much less, so I’m not sure how much are emails effective.

Bars already have schedules like that and it’s not an issue

You can add time to due dates to. It wouldn’t be that problematic. Or just keep the day only

Then use a time zone that makes sense for that?

Like it changes at midnight?

I mean that’s not really the issue

The issue is like restaurants opening for dinner at 7AM and such

It would be a big cultural shift

But who else other than Israel has the motive to attack a humanitarian vessel? Not once but twice in two days and also has done the same to every single mission towards Gaza?

There’s only way to spin it. Did Israel even deny it?? They didn’t because they want people to know it was them. It’s a scare tactic and that doesn’t work if it’s some random guy with a drone

Meanwhile they’ll lose their shit if they see a small boat with refugees trying to enter their country

And why aren’t they getting political support from abroad?

Serbia is just showing us in really time that peaceful protests are only allowed because they are an inefficient tool to enact change (at best) and a harmful tool at worst.

These protests were massive, lasted for months on end, spanned the whole country, were asking for extremely reasonable and mild changes and still haven’t accomplished anything of note.

I know that the violent side didn’t come from the students but it will be interesting to see if this changes things

Or for me it would make CP2077 and hundreds of other games free to play on the Steam deck (since I already own them)
