They're trying to get one

So Poland and Hungary already signed?

I wonder what would happen if those soliders were activated to enforce EU mandates on their own soil.

🤔

I don't think there's any command authority in the current proposal. It's more information sharing and standardization.

EU nations will never be able to standardize their arms and equipment, let alone agree to place their militaries under the command of others.

Anyone in path of Florence?

oh ok

... I’m in the indirect path, but I live in the highlands atop a hill unlike most peasants 😏 getting stuff buckled down just in case

“Don’t let children play in flood waters”- local weather station. Was really hoping they wouldn’t have to say that, it’s Darwinism after all.

youd be surprised. It may look safe, but you know, holes and infections

At least you guys dont have earthquakes

Do we have anyone in asia?

Well, I dont think ive had a single natural disaster here at all. Unless very heavy rain counts

California still on fire

not sure when we ever not

Maybe you need a hurricane to put out some of those fires.

Do u all enjoy the Mary Jane

Burn them to the ground, Belgium. https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1039586133489975297?s=19

Tbh Im more interested in what way EU parliament will decide to count votes <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

So if abstention will count or not for total number of votes.

Since it's not showing. The EU added a requirement to a vote on upload filters to "remove terrorist content"

Within an hour

It's new proposal independent of upload filters, that generally says "within 1h remove content we don't like, or else..."

So what happens to 'get woke go broke' at a level such as that..?

I used to think Get Woke Go Broke was just a meme then I saw it in practice and I was like "holy shit, wow, okay"

Stuff like the new Doctor Who trailer, they had a glass ceiling shatter around the new Doctor and then a big thing saying "IT'S ABOUT TIME" across the screen

When you put the focus on identity politics and not the actual merits of your show, people are turned off

You don't tell anyone about what the show is

How is this not obvious to ANYONE in marketing?! Focus on the damn product

Tell people why your product is the best, don't be like "It's okay to like our product, look, it's a product accessible to many markets"

If it *is* accessible to many markets it will be

By putting total focus on a new market vehemently, you oppose existing ones

*ostracise

The whole point of the consumer's feedback is to help you.

And when you TURN ON THE CONSUMER for their feedback, you're a fucking martian.

worse, they straight up attack their existing markets all the time for calling them out on the change

Exactly, guys

Maybe because show doesnt have anything more to offer anymore? I mean- moment when they build Doctor as basically a god was when problem started. How are you gonna top that?

The customer isn't always right.

But when you DISCARD LOGIC

Like the wage gap.

So they went full woke mode, hoping that it will bring ppl back, and they failed

"UGH this customer. Trying to tell me the wage gap isn't real"

Like when EA were like "If you don't like it don't buy the game"

Name one business who have told their customers not to buy their product

It's about operating within the market

Forcing change on the market DOESN'T WORK

"this customer. Trying to tell me the wage gap isn't real when i clearly pay my female employees less"

"and they say i'm the shitty person here? *scoff*"

Just a bunch of sneaky lying atheists, huh Grenade? 😛

lol

Nah but seriously like

How a business functions is on supply and demand, fundamentally. They make profit by meeting the demand. So *ignoring demand* is the most idiotic thing ever

They are leaving vast market vacuums

The problem is it's all the way up the ladder

There's a gap in the market for stereotypically masculine or right-leaning television shows but that gap isn't being filled because TV execs are denying those shows airtime, you feel me? Plus generally people on the right don't chase creative careers as often, but I don't think that's as related

Its not even ignoring demand, its forcing ppl to change their demand.
"Oh, so you want to buy apple? No man, im gonna sell you banana, and you will like it"

They're artificially creating an imbalance

Yeah

"If you don't eat banana you're discriminating against tropical fruit growers"

Meanwhile anyone who grows apples is getting fucked

The problem is demand for apples will grow so high that people *bypass the grocers*

The people trying to sell you fruit will get ignored because they don't wanna give you what you demand

If they cannot supply to meet the demand they lose out on a market and therefore profit

There's always been a bias in media, but the game's changed

It's gone from addressing and rejecting things respectfully, to an inquisition against wrongthink

Like, to give a historical example

Around one of Queen Elizabeth's jubilees, people were releasing songs to do with the Queen

God Save The Queen by The Sex Pistols comes out

It's basically calling the Queen a fascist and disagreeing with her a ton, because they saw her detrimental to the UK

i think its already happening, indy game scene is getting good, and you are starting to see decent looking alternatives to big original IPs like battlefield

Did the radio still play them? Fuck yes they did. They were #2 on the charts. SOME people banned the song, because it was offensive. But it was played

In fact some people believe the government and some businesses purposefully skewed results and records, and it was #1

It was censorship and disagreement. But the people still heard

Those were simpler times, when being offended by a product didnt mean product will be banned all together, and everyone getting that product are a nazis

Such nice times
