A friend of mine has Long Covid. Prior to catching it in 2020 she was in great physical shape and an avid hiker of the Scottish Munros. Now she has issues finding an activity that doesn’t leave her winded, or extremely fatigued.

Long Covid is real, not something made up because a person was all ready in poor health prior to catching the virus.

In a letter sent to Uruguay’s Minister of Education Pablo Da Silveira, a spokesperson for Spotify said: “If the proposed reform became law in its current form, Spotify’s business in Uruguay could become unfeasible, to the detriment of Uruguayan music and its fans,” claiming that the amendment would force it to “pay twice” the amount of royalties.

Spotify currently pays out at 70%. Doubling royalties would cause them to pay out more than they make in subscription and ad revenue. This is why they’re shutting down.

Keep on building that strawman; it is a mighty one.

That’s what the headline says.

You know, you’d have an ally with a liberal if you weren’t so narrow minded that you decide to shit on them and deride them when given the opportunity. So you can still GTFO with your “lib” shit.

JHC, get out with the “libs” shit. Liberals (the Left) in the U.S. criticize this shit all the time, and constantly take shit from the Right for being anti-patriotic.

NO WINE AT DINNER!?!?!?

China has applied sanctions on U.S. companies over selling weapons to Taiwan on numerous occasions before, and it is not immediately clear how they work or what they are intended to achieve given that neither company sells to China.

Big old nothingburger here…

@stopthatgirl7, I appreciate the downvote, however I’d like to add that this contributes to the conversation and the trend of using the word “slam” in every article that poses a reactionary comment by someone, or an entity against something another someone or entity officially says.

It’s apparent that it’s low effort in the attempt to generate clicks. Quite frankly, I agree with Taiwan’s comments against Elon “I open my mouth garbage spews forth” Musk. I just don’t agree with the headline.

“Slams” equates to low effort shitposting, even by the likes of NBC. As a business bootlicker CNBC is no stranger to clickbait…

Alternatives to the word “Slam(s)” include: animadversion, aspersion, jab, obloquy, potshot, slap, slur, stricture, and swipe

Seems character count is apparently expensive even in bit format as a digital character.

Nobody wants to work anymore…

YouTube, Forbes…

Pillars of journalism.

The next day, nine days later…JHC within the microcosm of things it’s a gaffe. Something Biden is known to do, and based on his dyslexia it’s entirely possible he misread a teleprompter.

Mountain, meet molehill. Point is, Biden did visit Ground Zero. Whether it was the next day or the next week, he still did it.

In Havana, prosecutor José Luis Reyes told state TV that suspects are being investigated for crimes, including being a mercenary or recruiting mercenaries, and could face sentences of up to 30 years or life in prison, or even the death penalty.

I’m on kbin.social, and I still only see two downvotes on the parent post. So this is interesting.

You have a ghosts following you, it seems.

One single downvote, a brigade does not make.

He said there was no mechanism, financial or otherwise, to assist Chilean adoptees in their efforts to visit their home country. He said he sold a truck to pay for his family’s plane tickets and other expenses.

THIS is unfortunate. There should be a mechanism to allow these families to reconnect.

Since it’s an arms deals via NATO, with weapons provided by the U.S., it seems fairly obvious the terms of the treaty include consent and/or approval when repurposing arms to non-member states.
