It’s really not that the Canadian government is necessarily any good or even better than the one in the USA. But in case of an invasion there would be a war going on and violent deaths would be expected. Although the part with penises in mouths would most likely constitute a warcrime.
Thats assuming that the current states are able to keep their voting rights.
While the situation in the US is indeed very dire, I would say that places like Hungary did fall first. I am also afraid that the US wount be the last to fall. Many countries in Europe are shaky at the moment.
Care to share whitch book did you borrow?
Beautiful place. I know next to nothing about Hong Kong, but I’m glad to see that it is greener than in my imagination.
Where in Lapland was this image taken?
Check BBC. They have pretty cood coverage of global news. Other might be Deutsche Welle, which despite the name is in English.
The best option would be to follow the news in Italian if at all possible. I actively follow the news in four languages and it really helps to show how differently they report on the same events. If you ever wonder why, for example, Sweden, Germany and USA have so different opinions on Palestine vs. Israel, just checking how their respective medias report about it in their own languages makes it clearer.
While I might make similar choices, it still sound like a horror story. My immortal soul stuck eternally among the empty make-believe-people of GTA or the solitary existence of Minecraft?
I might still prefer the peace of non-existance.
Do you have the means to reach this place? Lets say that you get the warning tomorrow, are you able to reach the island?
Well… My health conditions mean that I am unlikely to survive long term after apocalypse. Even if no zombies get me. The first week would be fine, the first month maybe, but I wouldnt be alive to see the second year. I could try to do a camping trip to see if the “apocalypse” passes over quickly. If not, then there is no point trying to plan for long term survival.
I watched similar thing happen in my own country. It was just one decision (so far) and made with a very comfortable parlamentary majority. The problem was that it was supposed to be unconstitutional according to wast majority of constitutional experts. That turned out to be absolutely no problem for the parlament and the administration.
It’s not even that I am too much against what they decided, but it did change my views on the nature of law. Any law or constitution is just a paper if it isnt enforced and will carry no weight, when it is simply ignored.
It feels strange seeing this kind of talk in Lemmy and Reddit, while the mainstream media of my country (not-usa) speaks surprizingly little about it. It’s not that I believe them to be MAGA-minded, maybe they are just not sure what to make of it. This just makes me wonder how real it is, when I don’t see anyone “reputable” speaking of it.
If a country gets away with not having a mandatory military service, then it sholdn’t have one. Forcing people (usually just men) to spend a substancial amount of time in something, they might have zero motivation to, is unjust.
That being said, I absolutely support the fact that we do have a conscription based army here in Finland. There simply is an existential imperative for an army that is wastly larger than what could be achieved with volunteers. Maybe an initial fighting force could be mustered, but we would have problems refreshing it throug years of heavy attritional combat. Like Ukraine could most likely never maintain a fighting force through volunteer only.
That being said there is an option of civilian service here in Finland. I hold no grudge against anyone choosing that option. I agree that the system is fundamentally injust. I just see no alternative.
Amazing! I’m happy for you. Life isn’t often great, but if you can be happy for your gf and seeing Sonic then it could be worse.
I’m in a situation where I work only three days a week and get by just fine. As much as I love not having to work 5 days a week, I’m not really feeling “free”. Mostly because I still can’t find to do stuff.
I’m douptfull that such a list exists. At least not in a comprehensive form.
Olen parin viimevuoden aikana opiskellut saksankieltä ja seurannut täkäläistä mediaa. Siellä on hyvin voimakas jako eri kouluihin oppilaiden koulumenestyksen mukaan ja minun silmääni ainakin vaikuttaa, että järjestelmä on kauhea. Ihmisistä tehdään nuorella iällä eli yhdeksänvuotiaana ratkaisu senhetkisen pärjäämisen perusteella. Tuo ratkaisu sitten voimakkaasti rajaa yksilön mahdollisuuksia opinnoissa ja uralla läpi elämän. Tätä kannatetaan kuitenkin hyvin samankaltaisin perustein, kuin miksi persut nyt haluaisivat tasoryhmiä.
Omasta mielestäni varsinkin nuorten lasten jakamista tällaisiin ryhmiin tulisi varsin pitkälle välttää.
Tuntuu et ajat huononevat päivä päivältä. Ei sillä, että kaikki tarjolla olleet uutislähteet ennenkään hyviä olivat, mutta pahaltahan tää näyttää.
Very traditional sleeping schedule you have.
ALL planes land. The question is, whether or not there is someone left to clap afterwards.
