This could be a slippery slope for me ... I don't even use a torch

Have been using the Sync reddit app daily for years after paying a couple of quid to remove ads whenever I did that. Felt like a steal then and expensive now so, on balance, I'm comfortable having paid the ad randsome. I feel better knowing it all goes to the developer for his personal efforts.

What do I know better?

I don't really like this take. The death penalty isn't cultural and people who oppose it are free to vocalise it. Singaporean culture is great because it is a unique melting pot of many different cultures, the death penalty is a legal matter and isn't drawn from the composite cultures of the people that live there.

you can't disagree with the results

It's the third hanging this week for drugs offenses so it would seem that the policy isn't completely effective

the people there feel it is a tradeoff they are willing to live with.

They may be willing to live with it, but i wouldn't presume that they are in favour of the policy. Singapore is a one party state and rated a 'flawed democracy' in The Economist democracy index. Frankly, Singaporeans aren't consulted on the matter.

who the fuck are you to tell those people how they should rule their own country?

On a micro level, who the fuck are the authorities of Singapore to take another person's life.

I have a few accounts on different instances and flick between the seamlessly in the app I use. It has worked well for me when experiencing the issue you describe.

Does reading this comment count as me doing my own research?

I used to love browsing /r/rugbyunion before leaving that platform. It is out of season at the moment but with the world cup a couple of months away, does anybody have any ideas on how we can use the run up to the WC to grow this community?

Haven't they been providing protection services to gold mines in Africa in exchange for mining concessions? I think that it how they are primarily funded now as opposed to being funded only by Russian intelligence agencies.

I'm just regurgitating what I heard on the radio this morning but sounds mercenary like to me.

Severance is the show I will always recommend to anyone else that will listen. It's fantastic.

It might be out of the way for most people but Norwood Park next to Crystal Palace is a gem. Big park with amazing views of Central (think Primrose Hill but southern aspect) and ridiculously quiet, even on a lovely day.

Parking at the o2 (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Serpent@lemmy.world to c/london@feddit.uk

Does anybody have tips for parking at or near the o2 for an event?

My wife is heavily pregnant so we would rather drive in but venue parking is pricey and on their website they are warning about traffic due to roadworks.

My sisters one would steal balls from other dogs and spend hours evading you in the park to avoid giving it back. He grew out of it eventually and is generally a lovely boy.

Anyone know how I get the link in the post to open in the Jerboa app?
