You gotta remember World Wars take a bit to warm up first. Skirmish here, escalation there, lots of sitting on thumbs for a while, and then everyone piles in after the rate of occupation starts to get out of hand and the aggressors show deft multi-tasking skills.

Seriously, they could be genuine some day. Like warn the world against some major catastrophe, but we'll assume that if China's upset, it's nothing to worry about or may even be something we want to happen.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Gotta suppress those aspirations before they get out of hand. Wealth is just the theme in this case, but could be anything else.
The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?
No ad blockers or nothing. And yet you also have ads that don't exist for me and no mobile header. It's the same in Thunder or my browser.
Unusual. Could be regional, could also be your OS. Sites can display differently depending on whether it detects your OS/native browser as mob, desktop, etc. So while the CSS is obv scaling to mobile, it may be displaying a diff version of the site.
Or malware 😁 No really, it can make sites be like that (force to desktop) to load in content. First signs of malware is unusual behaviour in internet-related applications not behaving how they're supposed to because something's sneakily altering the behaviour and hoping you don't realise.
Yeah, but our mate's phone here isn't even loading the mobile site. So either it's a dodgey half-assed phone with some random operating system or unknown browser, or something's telling it to behave like that. Forget the whole paywall part if you must. There's no mobile elements being loaded. The site's being told the device is not a mobile device or a normal OS. And I highly doubt that site's ignoring W3C standards, since it isn't run by a old guy named Gary still using Geocities.
Just sayin' this is a common malware indicator. The whole point of it is to convince that everything's normal, so at the moment I'd consider it C-grade success malware because apparently to everyone else this very abnornal behaviour seems normal.
But what do I know. Ain't my phone anyway. Forget I mentioned it out of the blue for no reason :) I'm sure it's fiiiiine. Especially if they're on an custom or cheap Android-based OS and don't know what they're doing (Note: Drenched sarcasm)
Ackchyually, he technically is. Semites, though now a defunct term, applied to any people that spoke a Semitic language.Arabs, Phoenicians, Jews, etc. It's only after WW2 people erroneously assumed it meant just Jewish people—due to certain events at the time—and the term remained alive and evolved that way.
So in a traditional sense, Little Ben is becoming his own Little Hitler.

However, you are on Lemmy where the vast majority of users are from the US which means they have their own weird skew on libertarianism and liberalism, thanks to their media and social media. Somehow it's distinctly Republican, conservative (lol, yes), and pro-capitalism, which obviously isn' correct because of their many, many, many, anti-liberal views.
Only in the US can socialists be mad about a school of thought that values social equality and welfare, because a form of media informed them it's pro-capitalism and the red-cap redneck that cries "Liberty!" with their AR-15 must be liberalism or libertarian.
The United States is focused on tracking down Hamas's Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, amid a new push by the White House to help Israel declare "total victory" so it can bring an end to the war on Gaza, US officials have told Middle East Eye....
Yep. There has been nothing to indicate Israel gives a single shit about this guy.
Biden: "What if we hunted down Yayah Sinwat?"
Little Ben: "Who?"
Biden: "The Hamas chief."
Little Ben: "Ooh, those guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure."
Like a fiddle. Again. Even after Biden admitted he got played at the start already. He's not great at seeing things that are so obvious to the rest of the world.

When the corners are very, very tight, and there's hardly any straights, it's often beneficial to maintain entry speed and get the car rotated in the right direction quickly, assuming you're capable of recovering the slide at the appropriate time.
Especially downhill where the car needs more front brake bias to stop harder, and that means even more understeer coming into the turn. Snapping into oversteer so you're pointing the right way, then ending drift when the car's ready to put that high rpm back into traction, that's one of the rare occasions where drifting will get through faster. And as you said, it certainly doesn't make for big showy slides. Even in tarmac rally, they're floating the car through the turn, not getting its ass way out the side for 20m.
European Policy Centre analysts say the general political climate and the upcoming European elections are, in part, responsible for the uptick in violence....
Cost for the taxpayer and a government worker named Sharon justifying her paycheck and patting herself on the back, after her team of six spent 3 weeks working out the details. I'm sure the office events committee organised cake and the afternoon off.
(Yes, I've had to do consulting work with federal governments before and it's like this)
I find that Americans that usually say this kind of thing are staunch Sanders supporters. The same Sanders that continuously blocked the bill with quite a few other non-Republicans in that cohort.
We watch such bills abroad too because they're international. There's no sides and parties to it, just an example of how dumb American politics is as a whole. Don't worry, I'm sure the Republicans are dumbest if that makes you feel better. But it is important to scratch a bit deeper below social media's handpicked articles and comments, lest you end up becoming the same as those you oppose without realising it.
There's slightly more to it than that in politics and voting, but sure. Let's go with it being a single party's decision over everything else if that suits the rhetoric everyone wants to hear. Life's easy focusing on just one of many things anyway.
It wasn't symbolic. He was (arg. rightfully) opposed to other parts in the propositions. This is laughable? What is the implication? You can read it directly on his site as well as those of other democrats and independents who ultimately contributed towards the bills not passing. These are the sources, so I doubt they're implying anything.
If I'm personally implying anything, it is that many Americans seem to not do the above. When they make a statement, it's based on a single component of a much larger picture, as though that single component is the entire picture. However, looking up information rather than being fed information socially would resolve this. Unfortunately, pekple tend to fall for argumentum ad populum quite easily. Additionally, pride rejects the claim that oneself has fallen to fallacy.
Also why people tend to not dream if using substances that have memory loss side-effects—weed is common. And same reason people get "black out" drunk or drunkenly repeat themselves. The brain just isn't noting anything down, but it is happening.
Without knowing of the Roman Empire, you'd be confused as hell on how Christianity ended up in Italy's hands. Abrahamic religions are one of our sloppiest punchlines.
It reminds me of people blaming a new leader for the problems the old leader created, as of they can be unravelled and resolved in a time short of several years.
Food was something that I ate when I had it. I spent a few months with mybe 4-5 real meals. Cornflakes and ramen where the bulk of my diet for a while.
That brings back memories. Oats and pasta were my wonder foods. You can do a lot with those and a couple extra dollars, or shoplifting a jar of sauce/bottle of milk if you're penniless and starving.
The UK government has revoked the student visa of a Palestinian student who lost relatives in Gaza after she spoke at a demonstration at the University of Manchester....
They've been in the news quite a few times, the quoted portion mentioned being the most infamous event so far. And governments like the UK generally don't do things that could be very easily defeated in a civil court.
Lemmy's extreme-left news posts are often as bad at telling the truth as Reddit's extreme-right ones. Propaganda comes in all flavours, so if something doesn't make sense, it probably is hiding some truth.
Can you please Google these questions for yourself? It seems a lot to ask of others, and on yourself to type up such a lengthy comment when you could just paste their name into a search engine and hit Enter.

The death toll from what authorities call the worst climate disaster ever to strike southern Brazil has risen to 90, after ferocious rain flooded huge stretches of Rio Grande do Sul state, displacing more than 155,000 people and forcing the closure of the main airport in the country’s fifth biggest city....
But in positive news, the new (returned) president has made some really aggressive progress on the Amazon. I think most Brazilians and the neighbouring countries understand well the predicament and how much the Amazon impacts the global climate.
Politically they have ended up authoritarian in many instances. However, capitalism has as much "authoritarianism", just economically. Try whatever -ism you like, enough percentage of population is psychopathic and will climb to a position of power in some form or another. It's in our collective nature.
What did people do before smartphones to pass the time when you were bored?
