I’m guessing you’ve never look inside a physical newspaper before.

It’s part of a series of articles called “Kindness of strangers”. Specifically highlighting interesting events where someone was helped and that changed their outlook on life, but isn’t some major event.

Here are some of the other headlines:

• a woman lay on the road beside me, holding my hand until the ambulance came

• I pulled over in hysterics – then a passing driver saved me from the spider

• when my cat died, my dance class pooled their money for a thoughtful gift

If Musk fully crosses Trump, I wouldn’t be surprised if suddenly starlink and spacex were labeled as threats to national security.

Although an Akira crossover with Alita could be fun.

Don’t you remember learning about Germany in school? According to history disabled people are going to the camps as well. And RFK has already annonced that they’re going on a list. Then it’s non-straight people. And then they came for…

Sadly, a bunch of things people buy are American owned but sold under a more local brand name, especially food or snack items, but also many other things.

For example: A scary amount of Europeans don’t know that Mondelēz International is an American company. It was started by Kraft, famous for their “processed cheese product”. And they own brands like Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Marabou/Freia, etc.

Coca-Cola also own a lot of “local” flavoured drinks.

I’m VERY glad they don’t have anyone as efficient as Goebbles. Or the “Ministry for Public Enlightenment” would already be in full swing making propaganda films.

I wish lemmy was less like reddit, and that commenters actually skimmed the articles or knew anything about the situation beyond the headlines.

But hell, here goes, I’ll try to use small words and explain things for you guys:

• If they instantly turned it off without a replacement, a lot of people would have died. And even if a country government tried, their own citizens would riot over the idea that old people would die.

• Coal is already banned.

• Oil imports have dropped from 27% to 3%

• In 2021 the gas accounted for 45% of imports in the EU, now it’s 19% and the plan is to have it at zero by 2027.

No.

The vast majority of ADHD memes made by self-diagnosed people who have no idea how it actually works.

They’re the same as the type of people who claim they have OCD because they like to clean up right after eating. While in reality people with severe OCD can end up standing outside their front door in the rain and get soaking wet for 20min, because they have to unlock the door in pattern they can’t get right.

The earliest urban dictionary entry for yeet was made in 2008, when you are literally part of the generation that popularized the word.

I am surprised to not see used much more yet

It’s because a huge amount of people in leadership positions around the world still think they can just keep their head down and pretend nothing bad is happening.

Such a profoundly dense thing to post, it could have only been made up by an American. How can anyone have such compartmentilized view of history is truly beyond me, unless of course they are incredibly ignorant or some kind of Putin’s lapdog,

It’s mostly narcissism with some ignorance.

I used to hang out in alternative communities. And if you listen to people who promote full communism as a good way to run a society, you realize that their entire proposition hinges on there being no “evil” people. Their mind seems to operate on the idea that their society will be so perfect that there wont be any corrupt people who lie, steal, cheat and try to take advantage of others or if they are they will instantly and always be caught.

Same thing with anarchists. They love to talk all flowery and nice about their mostly anarchist commune with 10 people. And just dismiss the idea that it wouldn’t work with 10 million.

I know people love to repeat that on social media, but he did technically win the popular vote.

Harris: 75,017,613

Trump: 77,302,580

They’re not doing anything because they are complicit. The DNC and the majority of Democrats are completely fine with fascism as long as it does not impact themselves.

It’s not even a question anymore, every single House Democrat proved it recently by voting in favor of the “Take it Down” act.

At the end of the day they’re just selfish.

My favorite example is the “Free Town Project”, where a bunch of libertarians from all over the country tried to take over a town in New Hampshire. After they managed to force through cuts to everything from firefighting to street lights, they had a single police officer left. And he couldn’t respond to any calls, because his cruiser was broken and they refused to pay for repairs so crime rose and sex offenders started moving there.

Then came the bears.

They didn’t pay for any sort of forest ranger and the cop couldn’t respond. So bears started getting close and some people spent years feeding them, while their neighbors walked around armed at all times and would shoot at bears on-sight. Which led to the first black bear on human attack in the state for over a century, where a woman was attacked inside her own home. And shortly after two other attacks happened in nearby towns. So the people went into the forest one night and allegedly shot and killed a dozen bears, which didn’t help. Some people suggested the city put bear protection on the trash cans, but it was not passed and was called “government overreach” by others.

So the freedom loving libertarians who moved to a town without zoning laws to live in improvised housing and roam free without laws, ended up having to put up big fences and walls around their homes to keep the bears out.

Yes…?

It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.

At this point, if a news outlet or politician refuse to call it what it is, I assume they actually approve.

So far it’s most of them across the world.

Yeah that’s how it goes.

Just earlier today I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying figure out an issue where the classic “debug print” didn’t give the correct value. And as is often the case, I had forgot to change print to the new test variable.
