Not necessarily. In Canada, an independent advisory board reviews applications and provides a shortlist of candidates. The Prime Minister selects a nominee from this list. The nominee may participate in a public hearing before being officially appointed.

That is why it has not been a partisan issue so far.

“Member states cannot continue the race to the bottom corporate tax policies that undermine European unity and social cohesion. Big tech companies like Apple should not be able to exploit their market power and avoid paying their fair share to society,” said EU MEP Kira Peter-Hansen.

Good.

I think the professor himself is fed up with the situation, because as a researcher he is forced to publish his articles to for-profit publishers, who are basically the mafia gatekeepers, who profit from information that should be open to everyone. And the university profits from this lucrative business.

Yes. I’m talking about the Talibans’ sick and perverse mind. The Talibans do not view women as human beings.

For the Taliban, women are sexual slaves whose sole purpose is to be baby making machines: they’re not human beings.

It is clearer. What I learned at work is to write documents in high school language so that everyone can understand them.

What in the actual f*&%:

According to park officials, the man, who was with three friends, climbed out of his vehicle and walked towards the animals to take photos.

So tourists think that they are domesticated animals?! They’re not dogs. Respect nature.

That’s why the French protest all the time. They fight for their rights.

A lot of people were given false hope that Brexit would magically solve all their problems. People now regret it.

One should read the history of Haiti. They were the first slaves to revolt and become free, so France wanted them to pay for “lost business”. So they had to pay off a huge debt. And the U.S. didn’t want Haiti to succeed because it would have encouraged slaves in the U.S. to revolt. So Haiti got roadblock after roadblock.

It’s all about the social capital. The social capital (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_capital?wprov=sfti1) of someone born in jail is going to be less than someone born outside of jail.

Not a good comparison. With Steam, you download the games to your computer. If Valve ever went out of business, they could unDRM the games, or you could crack them.

Either way, you download the games onto your computer. That’s not the case with Funimation.

I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but the new design makes it look more like a social media site than a forum.

Buying a digital copy of something you cannot download is an oxymoron. It only makes sense if you subscribe to a service.

It’s looks nice. I think you will enjoy KDE, we don’t have to worry about extensions compatibility when upgrading to a new version of Gnome.

Run them in Bottle, then disable internet access for the games.
