Nope, politicians are not military targets. And that makes sense. Nobody would ever talk and try to settle things diplomatically if they could be legally assassinated while doing so.

Also, you can’t have a Nuremberg-style trial with the responsible people if you kill them. The military are following orders and doing what they are told (well, hopefully). The politicians are the ones with the highest responsibility for an invading army. An army serving the state won’t invade unless politicians tell them to.

Exactly, no one here played Street Fighter 2 on SNES?!

Might just be that those three cars have legitimate reasons to be driving. Like, it could be a carpenter’s or electrician’s van on the way to a job site in the city.

Fair, but this is kind of a “not all men!!” thing to point out. The vast majority of sex workers are women, the vast majority of people being victims to sex trafficking are women. The vast majority of people paying for sex are men. Just face it.

So, to clarify. Sweden has for a very long time a system where buying sex is illegal but selling sex is legal. This is to make sure the man buying is considered criminal and the woman selling a victim. This new ban is just a way to keep it that way online as well.

What becomes illegal is paying for custom personalized performances (because a man can say “I’ll give you $1000 if you stick this painful thing up your ass”, which can be a difficult request to deny if you are poor), but selling prerecorded stuff will not be banned.

Brilliant

Ha, that’s really interesting. Swedish has an interesting example of this as well.

Plural you (“y’all”, basically) used to be “i”, but because of an archaic inflection rule, there were often an “n” at the end of a word before “i” (like, “när kommen i?”; “when are y’all coming?”). Because of this, “i” eventually turned into “ni” since the n of the previous word merged with i.

Depends on how many you follow. Lemmy is way more dead than Mastodon for me.
