Not to be a defender of VW, but I really hate this arguably unfair flack they get for diesel gate. Basically every auto manufacturer cheated emissions, VW were just the ones that got caught. If anything, VW cheated their emissions much less than others.

I'm sorry but this is erasure of the very real homophobia these glam metal bands experienced as part of later backlash.

And the guys in Skid Row tell of going out in public in the late eighties with “their hair stacked to the sky” and fighting with rednecks who called them removeds (Konow 296). While I never had to duke it out with anyone because of my long hair (the extent of my glam look), I did have similar experiences in the real world. Once, when with my mom at Huntington House, a now-defunct furniture store, a female sales clerk came up behind us and asked, “Can I help you ladies?” And on another occasion, when looking at clothes at Joslins in the Westminster Mall, a woman approached me from behind while remarking, “What do we have here? A lady looking at men’s pants!”

You say that, but don't forget they rejected alternative vote (abolishing FPTP) then voted for Brexit

Is it possible for a US citizen to open up a bank account in a foreign country and transfer money to it from within the US? in c/asklemmy

[–] Meron35 9 points 4 weeks ago

Yep, just search for country + banks for expats. Typically a lot of the countries well known for financial services have banks which make it very easy to open a bank account online. They will require you to upload some ID for verification, and provide tax details. Expats (rich white immigrants) do this all the time.
