'How are we going to escape?': Indonesian working holiday-makers say they were 'scammed'

    _The couple said they had not made a complaint to the authorities.

    "We didn't want to get involved in things that are complicated, because we are afraid the problem will become more complex," said Dimas._

    if they did they might make things a little bit better for people coming after them. I hope they change their minds.

    Well, and that being said, my very personal perception is that the will to leave is more significant (without going into whether it's majority or not) in Catalonia, Galicia and the Basque Country. The other highlighted in my opinion would be happy with greater recognition of their peculiarities (namely language) and less dependence of a central government.

    I'm sacrificing a lot of accuracy and nuance in order to keep my comment short.

    It's a complex issue. It would be more accurate if it showed the share of people in each region that feel one way or another.

    But to be able to do that, we should count them.

    And Spain made very clear in October 2017 that such a count (ie. a referendum) is illegal.

    So right now whoever says "the majority of X wants to secede/stay" right now, independently of being right or wrong, is doing so without data to ground that claim.

    The Jews in medieval Catalonia were an important part of the banking system, but not the only ones. Non Jews, specially from Lingua di Si countries, and also members of the Court, engaged in loans and taules de canvi.

    There's a page somewhere that, if you allow it to, opens hundreds of tabs in the background pointing to a bunch of lifestyle and commercial sites so your shadow profile ends up looking nothing like you. I will try to find it again.

    Clearly he wasn't afraid of the dog.

    That isn't the problem about the dog being off leash, the problem is it being able to go after the wildlife.

    Maybe he should have been colder headed maybe not, we could critisize his being in the right but being an asshole about it, but we cannot equate that to her being in the wrong and doubling down by consciously making use of her white privilege to make a false accusation that could have ended very badly for him. This is not a both sides situation.

    What so many people probably want is homeless having somewhere safe to go and resources to go out of homelessness. They get hostile architechture instead.

    I just told it to >Make a cheatsheet with two columns: on the left, Markdown syntax; on the right, the ReStructured Text equivalent. and it started well but after a minute it seemed to enter a loop outputting the same thing over and over again. Is this something one should report, or is it something that sometimes happens with ai chats?

    It was a huge thing for me when it was released, due to my discovering queer activism around the time; and I think it was a huge thing, culturally speaking, for many queer people in many countries. I rewatched it yesterday but of course through the lenses of nostalgia, so I wondered if it has aged well, if it resonates with the younger people...

    Can you recommend me an .au registrar?

    Hi! I used to have a non-.au domain with Gandi because they had a reputation of doing things right and doing the right thing. My problem now is getting an .au domain because it's an extra $96 with them, apart from the domain fees. Can you recommend me a good alternative that is also less-shady-than-the-average-big-company? Domain only, I already have hosting somewhere else. Thanks!
