He probably means the website translation function. Very useful for translating local websites, that aren't available in english, if you don't speak the language or not fluent enough

There are some translation extensions that are much better than the built-in one. Still not as good as Chrome tho

Unlike sewing, fabric manufacturing is mostly automated

Fast fashion still uses fabric rolles as raw materials.

The fabrics used in fast fashion are chosen for cost and workability, not durability and environmental impact.

premade fashion does produce fabric waste, it's unavoidable. However, the waste is lower than self made clothes due to the differences is production volume and optimization.

If you make your own clothes, you get to choose better materials, remove at least one step from the chain of exploitation, and learn how to repair your own clothes along the way.

If you are not disabled in anyway and still need to take a transport bigger than a bicycle to buy basic groceries, the design of the city you live in is fundamentally broken.

Not as a title, but if i recall correctly, the first first article of the old constitution states that the Syrian Arab Republic is a Democracy. Also for what it's worth, the Baath party was also officially "socialist".

The lack of a monarchy isn't enough to qualify as a republic, the people need to also hold some sort of power.

from a linked article

Victims include a landscaper snatched in a Home Depot parking lot in Rialto and held for days despite his son’s attempts to show agents the man’s U.S. passport; a New York resident locked up for more than three years fighting deportation efforts after a federal agent mistook his father for someone who wasn’t a U.S. citizen; and a Rhode Island housekeeper mistakenly targeted twice, resulting in her spending a night in prison the second time even though her husband had brought her U.S. passport to a court hearing.

kinda hard to believe they're just mistakes, if the article to be believed.
