can we get more genderbent!141??? por favorzinho 🙏🏻

YES YOU CAN MY PORTUGUESE-SPEAKING FRIEND!

More Genderbent!141 thots: Off-Duty

Simone Riley drives a motorcycle. I do not make the rules. When she's off duty, it's often the shops or petrol stations nearby will be visited by a woman in all black riding gear who uses her helmet hooked on her forearm as a shopping basket. Loves to go on cross-country rides. Wears those STUPID sunglasses of male Ghost's when driving. Chews gum 90% of the time.

Johanna MacTavish, despite her long hair, is surprisingly not a girly woman. She's also not 100% butch but she's somewhere in between. LOVES a good pair of shorts. Stick her in a pair of daisy dukes, combat/hiking boots, and a black sports bra with an unbuttoned tartan flannel shirt on top? Yes. She likes sports, likes watching them, and definitely challenges men to arm wrestling/darts/pool at the pub.

Kylie Garrick has THE cutest outfits out of uniform. You'd see her at the shopping centre and wouldn't even realize she's military. I'm talking high-heel sandals, cute frilly tops, dresses, jewelry all over! She loves colors and is the only one that hasn't yet surrounded to tomboyish practical clothes because she's young and is determined to let herself BE girly despite her career.

Jane Price craves the days she can be at home without SOMEONE busting her metaphorical balls about work. She's surprisingly domestic and finds just being home and at peace the greatest relaxer. Don't call her to drag her out to the pub, she won't go, she wants some tea and to try (and fail) at growing a tomato plant in her back garden.

LIBERAL MANIFESTO 2024 SUMMARY

tldr: tinkering reforms to existing structures and services without bothering to fix the overall problems or their causes. literally less ambitions than their previous manifestos. their whole campaign is mostly just getting u to like ed davey by making him look silly

their five basic points:

small business aid

public service investment

deal with the shitwater

as much bilateral eurointegration as possible

democratic reform

💷ECONOMY

reverse tax cuts on the banks and raise business tax to the international standard, raise the tax on digital businesses

abolish the two-child benefits cap, bedroom tax and WASPI discrepancy

create a railway agency to manage rail systems rather than nationalising the international humiliation that is the private franchise system

rewrite wedding laws, though not necessarily marriage laws

Well, the Netflix password sharing ban has reached the Netherlands. Quick survey says that there are several workarounds, but my mom is not tech savvy enough for that level of trickery, so I'll advise her to change her subscription to only one screen.

Count that as two near instances of screaming rage at corporations in two days.

And no, that's not about being unable to live without Netflix. It's the relentless trickle of shittery they keep pulling.

My bank raising its fees just because, and I would have switched but I am on this family arrangement so I can't.

My bank app deciding my phone is too old for it.

Another price hike in the supermarket.

The fees for my building's upkeep have been raised by €5 a month for shits and giggles.

A tax hike of €2 a month for my car and don't get me started on paying more than €2 for a litre of petrol.

An insurance price hike and I can't switch because of a misunderstanding with the building upkeep company. Seriously it's the only way of beating constant price hikes, constantly switching.

The ticket prices for the train have been raised.

On and on it goes. And my main problem is that this could easily all be outlawed. But it isn't. Because higher prices on everything also means more tax revenue, as that is a percentage of the total, not a flat fee.

The Netherlands have already protest voted the Nazis in, and the party that calls itself "New Social Contract" means by that, that the whole country should function like the Dutch Bible Belt: with strong solidarity among neighbours instead of state intervention and also trans people are evil. If the government does not try to further the wellbeing of all its citizens, against exploitative corporations, who tf is it for? Like, I know who it's for, it insanely favours capital, but shouldn't there at least be a pretense of something else?

I find it fascinating that government always goes "This is fine" until there are physical mobs outside of their gates. They don't do anything an hour before.

I don't really understand why they keep pushing people to the brink of that. Whom does it help? Nobody. Every revolution simply ushers in a new elite, only that first, a lot of people die - some rich, most poor. The poor mostly stay poor. I'm not saying don't riot, because the revolutions, if survived, often cause a minor uptick for the starving, but not half as well as a government that ensures a high standard of living for everyone.

And make no mistake. They're literally having people starve. Because they can. Either on no food, or on food that is so substandard it causes disease.

It only took 40 years.

Why are they so stupid? People may not understand nft's, or substandard loans swaps, or whatever they come up with next to cheat pension funds, but they do understand being able to afford heating your house, being able to afford to keep a roof over your head, or "I can't afford dinner."

But what do I know. I simply studied humanities.

Reforms in the energy sector, which has accumulated nearly 3.6 trillion Pakistani rupees ($12.58 billion) in debt, has been a cornerstone of the IMF talks. The IMF said it would want steadfast policy implementation by Pakistan to overcome challenges, "particularly in the energy sector", where it expects a rise in electricity prices.[...]

[the Finance Minister] announced a 7.5 rupee a liter increase in diesel prices late Friday night, saying petrol prices will remain unchanged for next 15 days.

Islamabad has taken a slew of measures demanded by the IMF since its mission arrived in Pakistan in February, including revising its 2023-24 budget and a policy rate hike to 22% in recent days. It also got Pakistan to raise more than 385 billion rupee ($1.34 billion) in new taxation to meet the IMF's fiscal adjustments.[...]

A wave of demonstrations across Angola has been triggered by a government decision to cut subsidies for petrol. 

The move to cut the subsidies was aimed at curbing government spending — but resulted in sharp fuel price hikes.

Thousands of young people — including many motorcycle taxi drivers — demonstrated on Saturday against the increase in fuel prices in the Angolan capital, Luanda, and other cities in the southern African country.

Heavy-handed police tactics

In Luanda, a heavy police presence patrolled the streets from Saturday morning, before firing tear gas to disperse a crowd that had gathered in the east of the capital. Several people were injured and the police made multiple arrests. 

"In Luanda, we arrested 32 demonstrators, and in Benguela, 55. The demonstrators were violent and attempted to set up roadblocks with burning fuel canisters and rubber tires," police spokesman Mateus Rodrigues told a press conference.

Activist Dito Dali, one of the organizers of the Luanda protest, contradicted the police account.

"We were peaceful. The police used violence without any reason. We have hundreds of photos and videos of the injured, some of which we have also posted on social media. It is only thanks to our composure that there were no deaths — as happened recently in Huambo," Dali told DW, referring to a protest in the central city during which police opened fire on a demonstration that authorities said had turned violent. Five people died in the Huambo protest. 

Fuel price hike was the last straw

The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had long been calling for Angola to reduce fuel subsidies, and their removal resulted in the gasoline price increasing from 165 kwanza (€0.25) to 300 kwanza (€0.48) per liter on May 3, 2023. 

Angola is one of Africa's largest oil producers;however, it does not have sufficient refineries to meet its domestic demand for diesel and gasoline and therefore has to import a large portion of fuel at high costs.

Consumer fuel prices were heavily subsidized, which meant that fuel prices for end consumers were kept very low. But in 2022, fuel subsidies burdened the Angolan state budget with approximately €3.2 billion. 

Street vendors at risk

Even higher costs are expected this year. Angola's street vendors have also been bearing the brunt of the price hikes.

"It is unbearable that the government continues to make our lives more difficult," street vendor Custodia dos Santos told DW reporter Borralho Ndomba in Luanda.

"That's why we joined the taxi drivers in their protests against the increase in fuel prices. Our survival and the survival of our children are at risk."

Custodia also mentioned the daily harassment street vendors face as Luanda's provincial government tightens measures against informal street traders. 

"We are regularly detained by security personnel or the police," she said. "We have to keep giving them money just to be able to continue working."

NGOs also under pressure

The protests have been further fueled by hundreds of NGO workers who are also very dissatisfied with their government which supports a new bill that aims to further regulate NGOs and associations.

Several Angolan NGOs launched a nationwide campaign against the proposed law earlier this week and warned that the government's goal was mainly to "control organizations." 

"If this law is enforced, we will find it difficult to continue our work," said Guilherme Neves, chairman of the human rights organization Associacao Maos Livres ("Free Hands Association") which has long been involved in helping persecuted activists and journalists.

The new law proposed by the ruling party MPLA is a kind of "license to erase non-governmental organizations that are not government-compliant," Neves added.

The OMUNGA Association — which has been promoting rural development and implementing rural projects for years — also sees itself threatened by the new law.

"Our government is becoming increasingly authoritarian. They want to control and regulate everything; they want to influence all activities of civil society. This is totalitarian," the association said in a statement.

"The protests of last weekend were only the beginning of our nationwide resistance movement," said activist Dito Dali.

"They will have to get used to the fact that we will no longer remain silent. The increase in fuel prices was just the straw that broke the camel's back."

Arnotts Tim Tams: Social media users outraged over high price of iconic chocolate biscuits

Aussies have been left outraged over the shockingly high price of Tim Tams after one shopper took to social media to reveal the cost of the iconic chocolate biscuit. A pack of the original Arnott’s biscuits are selling for an eyewatering $6 at Aussie supermarkets, with hundreds of frustrated Reddit users blasting the hike after a picture of the price was shared online. Some users deemed the cost as “un-Australian” and said Tim Tams are one thing that should not go up in price amid the cost-of-living crisis. One person deemed the high cost as “literal petrol station prices”. “I remember when a double pack used to only be about $4.50,” one user said. “That’s just un-Australian,” a third user added. Camera IconSome users deemed the cost as ‘un-Australian’. Credit: Facebook One shocked user recalled a time when a pack of Tim Tams was just a humble $2.50, a price shoppers wouldn’t see in any major supermarkets today. “This country is f***ed,” another Aussie complained. An Arnott’s spokesperson told FEMAIL the reason for the price hike was because of the rise in price of input costs. “Like most Australian manufacturers, we are experiencing a significant increase in our input costs, including the surging price of cocoa. This has led us to make the difficult decision to increase the price of our Tim Tam biscuits,” the spokesperson said. Source link via The Novum Times
