So, OP's claim that Lenin "legalized homosexuality entirely" in the USSR is wrong because, as @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works pointed out, it remained illegal in some parts of the USSR, such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Therefore, it was never entirely legalized across the entire USSR until Stalin banned it entirely again in 1934. During that decade, homosexuality was only legal in the RSFSR and not because of a standalone law advocating for sexual freedom, but because the Tsarist legal codes were abolished (which also included abolishing the Senate, the Tsarist courts and the private property, which were more likely to be the target of this move) without introducing a specific ban in the new legal code.

So it's also misleading to claim that homosexuality was legalized like it was an intentional move towards sexual freedom (which Lenin cared very little about with no public record of him on this topic) instead of just the kind of accidental outcome of abolishing the Tsarist legal codes.

Even if everything else were true, the USSR still wouldn't have been the first country to legalize it in modern history, which was France in 1791.

I don't see any reference to 2023 in that article, but this:

Pornhub has not worked with Mixpanel since 2021, which means that the stolen data would be from that year or earlier

Sorry, but I don't think we're emphasising enough that Pornhub shared details of its users, such as their search history and watched videos, with an external company and that external company kept that data for over four years after their relationship ended.

No, it seems you are a bit confused.

You are talking about autossh, which is a completely different third-party SSH client tool that you have to install separately (as the link you shared describes) to have persistent SSH client connections and has nothing to do with systemd other than that you can start it as a systemd service (like any other third-party service).

OP is talking about systemd-ssh-generator, which is described here by Lennart Poettering (author of systemd) as working exactly as OP described it.

The tweet did exist: https://web.archive.org/web/20190509030728/https://twitter.com/bk_moldova/status/1096658546077376512

But the account is obviously fake and not really associated with Burger King if you see the content they were posting before being suspended: https://web.archive.org/web/20190515130134/https://twitter.com/bk_moldova Also, it tweeted everything in English, which is not an official language in Moldova.

Well, I am not a lawyer so I don't know if that can really happen, but you are supposed to be judged by the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not any different scenario that could be applied to your case in the future (nulla poena sine lege, non-retroactivity of criminal law).

Consider, for example, something that didn't use to be a crime. For example, buying alcoholic drinks. If now they ban alcohol, they cannot start prosecuting people who bought alcohol when it was legal. Even if they announce they will ban buying alcohol, they cannot wait for the law to come into effect to start prosecuting people who bought it while the law was being written and knew it was going to be banned, because it was not banned yet when they bought it. This is not the same case, but it's similar.

What matters is the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not when you are being judged.

But, as said, I'm not a lawyer.

I know you shouldn't judge someone by their appearance, but have you seen those guys? They are literally like that famous Preacher comic panel. And they even dare calling others 'obese' and the n-word.

A comic panel with an attractive young guy, with dark curly hair, wearing a dark jacket and a light shirt; his posture and confidence project a charismatic presence as he speaks in a challenging manner. In front of him is another person who is visibly less attractive: they have little hair, look older, wear a blue shirt, and are notable for having barely any chin. Behind them, there is a group of young people watching the scene.The dialogue highlights the confrontation. The attractive person asks in a speech bubble: “Why is it the greatest champions of the white race always turn out to be the worst examples of it? You!” The less attractive character, confused, can barely stammer before being interrupted by the first, who sarcastically adds: “Where the hell is your chin?”

As it seemed to be a campaign to promote a cryptocurrency, they have probably already carried out their exit scam and have no need to continue with this.

Have we already forgotten Battle Chess? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Chess

That's exactly the thing Norway warned about just before Brexit: https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-referendum-look-before-you-leap-norways-pm-tells-brexiteers/#%3A%7E%3Atext=In+return%2C%2Cas+the+U.K.

To get access to EU market, they still have to comply with many EU regulations while not having influence on what those regulations are and no access to EU agencies. So very much like still being in the EU, but worse.

I cannot provide advice about this specific case. But as a general advice to everyone, unionize before it's too late. By the time you realize that your boss has been fooling you for one year in a way that will make it harder for you to claim a resolution, it may be too late. Don't wait for problems to appear, unionize sooner to get advice and prevent things like this from happening in the first place.

 

This is really not a new finding, but just consistent with what was already found by previous studies, but here we go:

The report found that 98 per cent of respondents that had socially and/or medically transitioned had significantly higher levels of happiness and satisfaction.

The researchers found reasons for detransition were due predominantly to transphobia and “challenges related to social acceptance”, such as not being accepted by friends or family for being trans.

“Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth at some point,” the report read.

“Only four per cent of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36 per cent.”

Russia fined at least seven people for “looking too gay” after a police raid on a nightclub in Tula in February which videos show was carried out by men in military-style uniforms and helmets.

It comes as the Kremlin ramps up a push to promote “traditional values” that has included tightening anti-LGBT legislation and banning “propaganda promoting a child-free lifestyle”.

One man had “crosses of black tape glued to his nipples” and a “women’s style corset” on his “naked” body.

Another had “pink socks … an unbuttoned kimono over his shoulders, his hair dyed bright orange, and red tattoos on his face”.

“Although a man, he was wearing a short top covering his chest, black leather shorts above the knee, on which there were several chain-shaped ornaments, and fishnet tights,” read another description.

“The appearance of the detainees is inconsistent with the image of a man of traditional sexual orientation,” judges were reported to have said.
