Just musing don't be angry with me, but seems rather circular that R&D needs public money in order to benefit the economy. Over-simplistic I suppose, but I'd think if it were economically productive it would be able to make a

My experience of it in Lisbon was undramatic. I was able to buy medication from the pharmacy. Life continued as usual more or less apart from some inconveniences, people playing cards in the street and a sense of everyone stepping away from

Any non-abserd definition of free speech concerns the expression of ideas rather than allowing hyperlinks to competitor platforms. I don't see this as a violation of free speech at all

Not a Twitter fan or a social media user but I see no problem with this at all. Looks like a private company playing hardball with competitors. I don't see any hypocracy unless you adopt some very neive definition of protecting free sp

No one is falling for that. Antifa is a fashion statement disguised as a "super radical" political movement (that just happens to align with all the global capitalist elites on every issue). Keep buying your H&M revolutionary

Try a different browser. Examples: type sleep noise into the android Play store and the top few. Waves, bird noises, rain etc. All useless to me - just want masking noise to block other stuff out.

Why is Israel held to a higher ethical standard than its neighbours in international media? It's almost as if not all countries are exactly the same and we have to talk about them within their context. "No one is talking about X&q
