I wish it polled for each possible position:

• Harris/Trump increasing/decreasing support for Israel

Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?

It’s simple: They promise easy solutions for complicated problems. Banning immigration will fix all crime and the economy, opposing LGBTQ+ rights will ensure a return of the better olden days, climate change is nothing to be worried about etc etc

And even people depending on social support will gladly shoot themselves in their feet if it means someone else will have it worse.

That’s what I thought too, but wouldn’t it be mentioned somewhere in the article? Like a line saying:

“The city government plans to demolish the bridge due to risk of collapse.”

But why though?

Blind serbian nationalism would be my guess but there seems to be more. Why now and why dismantle a working bridge without replacement?

Hey baby… wanna watch Jellyfin and dismantle the patriarchy?

But that would be worse?

The solution to women being treated unfairly is not to start treating men unfairly too. It’s to treat women fairly.

Keep in mind that purchasing a gasoline truck is better for maximum climate change acceleration. Diesel sadly produces less CO2 than gasoline, especially for heavy vehicles. Its advantage is mainly poisoning people’s lungs a bit more, especially if you remember to remove all filters.

Couldn’t there be an implementation thay leaves everyone satisfied?

Sort of like implementating a new optional tab for discovery and allowing users to choose whether their posts appear on it. The implementation should of course be fully honest without dark patterns, though due to the lack of profit incentive it shouldn’t be difficult to achieve a satisfying implementation.

Two reasons:

• Sleep data can give some information on your health but isn’t regulated as strictly as health data. Health data == Money
• Companies want your time and attention. TV manufacturers want you to use your TV as much as possible, social media companies want you to use their platform as much as possible, video game developers want you to play their games as much as possible. Nintendo successfully gained people’s time when outside through Pokèmon Go already. Now they’re trying to expand to your time sleeping. There’s not much time left which isn’t utilized by companies somewhat. Maybe there will be a Pokèmon School/Work soon?

Germany shut the remaining two or three down. The others were shut down years ago, some in the 2000s others in the 2010s and replaced with renewables and gas power plants.

When the remaining one’s were axed, they barely provided 2% of yearly power.

I’m sure he isn’t pro-zionist

Yeah, safety == security in German.

none of the countries have killed as many children as Israel

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Chechen_War

100,000–130,000 civilians killed (Bonner)[21] 80,000–100,000 civilians killed (Human rights groups estimate)[22][23] 30,000–40,000+ civilians killed (RFSSS data)[24] At least 161 civilians killed outside Chechnya[c] 500,000+ civilians displaced[citation needed]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Chechen_War

Estimate total number of casualties: 30,000 civilians dead (25,000 killed and 5,000 missing) according to AI[24] ~80,000 killed in Chechnya (GfbV estimate)[25] More in neighbouring regions 40,000–50,000 civilians killed (Kramer)[26] More than 600 killed during attacks in Russia proper.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War:

11,000+ civilians killed (confirmed)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Syrian_civil_war

Number of killed civilians by Russian forces: 6861 - 8729+

Add a couple hundred of killed Georgian civilians and you have a range for Russian civilian kills in the last 30 years of:

80,000 - 230,000

If we count genocides perpetrated by Turkish nationalists in the Ottoman Empire and continued by newly founded Turkey we have:

• 600,000 - 1.5 million Armenian civilians killed
• 300,000 - 900,000 Greek civilians killed

As to genocides perpetrated solely by the state of Turkey:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dersim_massacre

Turkish Kurdish anthropologist Dilşa Deniz estimates the number of deaths to be between 46.000 to 63.000.[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] Historian Hans-Lukas Kieser writes that 40,000 is implausibly high.[73] Historian Annika Törne estimates 32,000 to 70,000 dead as a result of massacres

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilan_massacre

Deaths: 5,000 - 15,000

Several hundred more Kurdish civilians have been killed in the past few decades by Turkey.

But you’re right that in the past few decades Turkey hasn’t killed as many Kurdish civilians as Israel has Palestinian civilians. Turkey is “just” commiting cultural genocide right now.

Simplification is great for language learners but an outright flaw for lossy communication. Whenever you lose some part of a sentence through interference (like a movie that decided to have a scene with people whispering at actual whispering intensity) the redundancies help in understanding the correct meaning of the sentence.

Additionally, native speakers of any language (usually) have an intrinsic understanding of more complicated grammar so there is no real advantage in simplification for them.

Not necessarily, bombs that don’t explode usually land on very soft ground - presumably the hole closed itself on top of the bomb right as it buried itself in.

Banning a party has significant affects on far-right organizations and money-streams. Much of their propaganda will become impossible to finance and any successor parties are automatically banned as well. Fascist voters cannot become disillusioned without a ban. Their beliefs are as solid as a flat-earther or anti-vaxer and only destroying their echo chamber has a chance to take them out.

I dislike the .not() method a bit because it inverts the meaning of the previous code snippet you’ve read.

if (list.isEmpty()...

“Ah, so if the list is empty…”

if (list.isEmpty().not())

“Goddammit”
