Within the last few years they had such significant protests in response to a woman who died in police custody that they had to pardon 20k people imprisoned in relation to them and 80k people facing charges. Then they strengthened the laws around the cause for the arrest. That’s not what a functional country does when its people are unhappy.
If the only metric is money, sure. Iranian women aren’t exactly happy though
That sounds good, but I wonder if workers in fast moving fields still suffer from being out of work for however long the term of the non compete is.
So they can pay for a funeral and take time off to grieve without the specter of homelessness over their shoulder.
It can be incredible for sherbet, though.
Not only that, but they knew about it at the same time that they were aggressively advertising to black and Hispanic women, telling them to powder their crotches, which caused a bunch of uterine cancer
I wonder if that’s the only way it’s visible. Like, I would expect to hear some reference to reporters or their accounts of events if there were any. There are unfortunately a lot of options right now for war journalists and given the 18 month siege, I could see it being difficult for them to really get there.
Because of the quote from the article I included wherein he talks about banning prayer in public places.
You can argue that your prayer mat is a yoga mat. I still don’t understand what your issue with my comment is.
That’s something you can argue in court, but it doesn’t stop you from the hassle and it doesn’t stop the chilling effect that a law like that could cause. I don’t know what you’re actually disagreeing with me about.
Why would I ignore that the only way I can see to implement a prayer ban seems discriminatory against Muslims? That’s my whole issue and the point of my comment: a ban on prayer seems like it might be a whitewashed attack on Muslims.
Yeah, that’s it. I’m worried that this is just thinly veiled Islamophobia, because praying can occur in someone’s head with no outward indication that a person’s praying, so you obviously can’t ban prayer itself. You can ban public displays of prayer like a prayer mat, which means that Muslims must be on private property where prayer is allowed (good luck screening for that in the job search) at five spaced out and preordained times a day. I hope there’s another way to interpret a ban on prayer.
As I said, I hope I am wrong about my interpretation. What’s eyebrow raising about prayer mats?
I was with them until this:
The government has already tabled legislation to extend the religious symbols ban to all public school staff, and Roberge has also promised to ban prayer in public places.
I hope I’m interpreting this too cynically, but that sounds like something that’s not really possible (nailing down what is and isn’t a prayer just for this comment is giving me a headache, like does “damn it!” count?). What they could do is ban the use of prayer mats, but that would only really hit one religion. Hopefully that’s neither their intent nor the course they’d take.
Did we not just recently see the benefits of a healthy population with access to healthcare worldwide?
I mean, it’s a nice dish that takes some effort, but it’s not molecular gastronomy or anything. I feel weird bragging about an award winning recipe that’s basically a standard zucchini quiche.
I also forgot to note the red onions, but I initially added the balsamic because I was too lazy to want to wait for them to caramelize on their own and figured a little bit of sweetness would approximate caramelization pretty well. Turns out, zucchini, balsamic, onion and Parmesan work well together.
Actually thinking about the idiom, I wonder if people used to complain a lot about the types or quality of vegetables they grew. It might be purely metaphorical, but I can definitely imagine it, having lived in a place where the owners didn’t box in their zucchini and I had to eat it twice a day for two months. I have a bunch of bomb zucchini recipes, including a self created prize winning quiche recipe (it’s just good homemade crust with an egg and no water, blind baked, then filled with zucchini rounds about 4mm thick sautéed with thin sliced red onions, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary, a little bit of good Parmesan and only two eggs in a 2:1 ratio with heavy cream- I don’t have it more precisely at hand rn), but I couldn’t enjoy it for a decade afterward.
Yeah, that’s at least step three, after talking to him directly and talking to your boss one on one
Why not just make a poll if you don’t want discussion?
Okay, I’m starting from the position of: authoritarian countries are not functional countries.
