Nope. I’m literally a digital nomad myself though mostly settled in Thailand these syas. Americans absolutely have an unmatched privileged here very few countries come even close to matching and can relocate relatively easily.

Americans have probably the easiest migration path in the world. Strong passport, very high wages and currency value, strong migration support and programs, remote friendly economy etc etc.

Nice.

Hot take but none of these admins should be anonymous. If you don’t want the responsibility/risk then let someone else do it. Crazy how the biggest subreddits are being ran by secret groups coordinating outside of reddit itself.

bananas have more rights and people in Britain apparently

No that’s simply not true

Seems like someone read Art of War for his bed time lately:

appear strong when you are weak.

I spray my garden with couple of cigarettes worth of tobacco water once in a while - works great as a natural insecticide!

I also used to live next to a tobacco plantation in Thailand once and the plant itself is quite incredible - basically untouchable by disease or insects so completly hands free and the fields are really cozy.

I’m not a lawyer but afaik the sanctioned ships are treated kinda like “legal piracy” as country can board it even in international waters if it knows it’s performing a sanctioned operation like transferring goods to a place it’s not allowed to or the ship is stateless or sneaky (no transponder etc).

At the end of the day these legalities are purely made up to satisfy treaties rather than ethics or rationality so it’s silly to try to look for rational meaning here.

Lol only on lemmy.megalosers you can find Hezbolah defenders. Go away troll.

That’s not how these types sanctions work though. It’s much more broad than “you can’t pass our waters” and it’s perfectly legal to board sanctioned ships in international waters.

AFAIK this is legal though I care much more about ethics than legalities as citizen of neither of these countries.

I feel like people are taking the bait here in siding with Iran and Hezbolah just to spite Trump. Both things can be bad and it’s kinda important to be woke to these games rather than blindly oppose everything.

People keep underestimating Trump and his stooges. Sure they are stupid but they do have a plan and they do scheme.

The ship was already sanctioned in 2022 tho

Yes, they should but Ukraine’s drones are already on it.

I hate trump as anyone else here but reading into this it looks like an absolutely legal and normal procedure?

The ship in question named Skipper was already sanctioned since 2022 for transporting Iranian oil to fund Hezbolah. So minus conflict escalation with Venezuela this seems like a good thing? Hezbolah is an incredibly evil terrorist organization and cutting off it’s funding is good.

I think the bigger subsidy comes from the seller as they’d rather lose 3% and score a sale than not.

This is kinda stupid. The centers shouldn’t be stopped but taxed appropriately.

We will never need less energy in compute period. So it makes no sense to artificially limit it, instead it needs to be priced to the point where it’s net positive for environment rather than net negative and if any industry has the incentives and money for this it’s tech.

I’m not sure but Ikea’s BNPL here has 0 fees.

Just don’t miss payments then. They make money from sales cut not from fees. E.g. Amazon will take 6% loss to get a sale giving Klarna 3% and losing 3% to inflation.

Looking at Klarna for example it’s 5$ late fee and then it gets reported to relevant authorities (credit, collections etc.) and they just block you.

It’s not that tricky like payday loans or similar. The issue at hand is really just people buying more than they can afford because they are not charged instantly.

Except many BNPL options are 0% interest rate. I just renovated an apartment with ikea stuff and they offered me 0% interest rate over 1 year - it makes no sense to not take this offer.

Many companies would gladly lose 4% (avg inflation) to guarantee a sale especially when dipping on loans are basically impossible today for the average consumer.
