  • People tend to go where they have connections like friends or family members who are already there; or they are more familiar with the local language/customs. Basically, they believe that their integration into the system of their final destination will be smoother for some type is social reason.

    The reality is that they likely didn’t enter Europe in France, and they never had the intention of stopping there.

    This is obviously a very contentious issue, because, as you correctly point out, there is no objective reason to think a refugee would be safer in the UK than in France. So the anti immigration types will keep using this as their reasoning.






  • That was a very long article, so for anyone too lazy to click, here is the bit you’re probably interested in:

    But enough of all that vomit-inducing background on the Proud Boys. I’ll leave you with this. For all their hatred of marginalized groups and especially in consideration of all the vicious transphobic and homophobic attacks by its founder, Gavin McInnes, I’m still trying to figure out how he so readily, and more importantly – easily slid a big black dildo up his own a**, live on his internet talk show? McInnes deemed the moment as “owning the libs.”




  • Not much of this makes sense. Maybe we don’t have an equal understanding of private. If thats the case, this discussion is going nowhere.

    I will point out, though, that this is particularly nonsensical

    Govts are only after Telegram because they can’t infiltrate the company, ask for data etc.

    Telegram doesn’t use encryption. Everything is in clear text. Nobody needs a back door to get access. Not even governments. It’s all just out in the open


  • I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. You start by agreeing that telegram is simply not private. Then you move on to implying that it must be, because the CEO got arrested?

    How does that change the fact that it is, by your own assessment, not private?

    To answer your question, the answer from my perspective is quite simple. Noncompliance. If telegram had complied to local laws, like the others have and continue to do, he would not have gotten in trouble.






  • Sure!

    I used the integration to fill in the gaps I have in my personal collection. With tidal, I could start playing my own music and plexamp would just drop in some new songs for me.

    It would create some playlists based on what I listened to, which again helped to discover new music.

    I could just start using tidal, but that means turning my back on my personal collection. Or I could give up tidal, but that means losing the recommendations.

    I’m asking here for help with the latter
