Can he not be prosecuted on tax evasion. Clearly these are benefits in kind, or income, that is not being declared.

I'm a dentist. You get surprisingly adept at removing and placing piercings in ears and noses. Often they need to be removed for xrays and lots of people don't know how to do it for their own jewelry.

Universal basic income means no requirement to do anything.

However as a worker in healthcare, I'd probably continue as I am.

Crashed the family car on my first day driving. Into our house. Our driveway is a mini hill with a turn to get in and then loop to the side with the corner of the house being at the corner. Accelerating up the little hill meant the house jumped in front of the car! As it was my first time driving, the blame was placed. Firmly on dad, as teacher.

Luckily the damage wasn't too bad to repair, but still the two most expensive things were broken on one day.

So not only does each stock holder own less of the company as a percent but the actual value of their stock is also lower.

This is normal for a company, when it releases more stock, as the cononay foes not magically become worth more. What's odd is releasing more while its already tanking and needing the funds so soon after it floated.

I winder where the money is going?

It used to work years ago. It's not a technology problem. They changed their policy around location based reminders. One of the reasons I'm degoogling. I got rid of apple products too when they got rid of Google maps in favour of apple maps. Forcing a poorer product on users shows contempt for users.

Is this seriously and article about a cartoon that doesn’t sound very critical, with no image of the cartoon or link to it? What awful click bait journalism. How so many upvotes? I assume nobody else is reading it, but just upvoting due to schadenfreusde?

If you’re attracted to both genders, then you’re bi whether you act on it or not. I think it’s more than just being an ally. People are recognising their sexuality more and not afraid to express it. The Kinsey studies would show it’s more of a spectrum than a binary. I think some older people in the lgbtqi community are less accepting of bisexuality as a concept, probably due to people using it as a deflection, or phase when exploring their sexuality historically. They might then choose not to express it due to intolerance, which led to people misunderstanding that bosexual people are just as valid. If you’re bisexual in a cos heterosexual relationship, you’re still bisexual, just like in the past gay people would live heterosexual lives. It didn’t make them straight. Being part of the lgbtqi community is not about having a shared experience of prejudice. The whole community activism purpose is to ensure that there is no prejudice in the future.

Hamas using hospitals as human shields is horrific. Israel ignoring the human shields is horrific.

IDF are just clarifying they are awful, as much as Hamas are.

Yeah, nah. It was an oppurtunity for aboriginal and Torres straight islanders to be heard.

There has been years of inner dialogue, and discussion with both parties. That led to the Uluṟu statement from the heart, which called for voice, treaty, truth.

The first step was voice. It was not designed by white people but came from within the discussions between mobs.

It was not divisive or destroying equality. As it stands, the constitution was changed to allow Lars specifically targeting ATSI people. This was a way to ensure they had a voice of reply. On all measures, they are faring worse than all other Australians.

Many people voted no with good intent, or because they were unsure, but make no mistake, this was a step backwards for our country, a step backwards in race relations and a victory for racists.

I’m not saying all those who voted no are racist. However, all the racists voted no. Sometimes you need to look at who’s on your side and why.

The point is to say they are non combatants, not to perpetuate gender norms or stereotypes.

To be fair, the companies are raking in huge profits on the vaccines still. They can afford to do faster research themselves. If the public coffers pay, they should get equity.
