Well, at least you got a bit further than we did in the US with our most recent corrupt head of government.
Just like how maths was invented so you could count your money, writing was invented to keep track of who owed you money and what they paid.
I guess you can lead a horse to water but cannot force it to drink
You know things have gone to shit when one of Hitler’s speeches not only becomes relevant again but literally describes the situation in facsimile
Harris’s plan: Gazans continue to suffer with constant bombardments and crumbling infrastructure. The US offers minor humanitarian aid and pays lip service to their plight.
Trump’s plan: Extermination of all Gazans in a massive US-backed and Israeli-executed ethnic cleansing campaign in order to turn Gaza into a vacation spot for rich Israelis. Possible location for the next Trump hotel and casino.
Obviously it is. But not all insurrections are wrong.
Committing an insurrection because you lost an election is far less laudable than committing insurrection against an increasingly fascist dictatorship.
Cool post but how is this a shitpost
Can’t wait for the “I’m not voting for Harris because she’s the same as Trump” Americans to be suspiciously absent from this thread

Flathub is almost the perfect distribution system for software on Linux. The only thing it’s missing is a billing system. If it had that, it would probably attract more game developers to make their games available as Flatpaks.
How has he not died of scurvy? None of this stuff contains any significant quantity of vitamin C?
Edit: Upon some further searching, it appears that fresh meat does contain a small quantity of vitamin C, and this is sufficient to not contract scurvy. Eating a lot of meat also reduces the amount of vitamin C that you need because one of the main uses of vitamin C is the synthesis of collagen, but this is abated because the meat consumed already contains a lot of collagen.
The sources for these claims do not appear to be scientifically rigorous but seeing that there have been people who have followed a “carnivore diet” for years without contracting scurvy, it appears to be at least somewhat true.
Or maybe they’re just taking supplements on the side. That would be the simpler explanation.
The media will always exist and people will always base their decisions on the information they receive in the media. This is inevitable in any society with the degree of complexity we have today. It is just not possible to gather all the information ourselves about any but the most personal of topics. That is why free, unbiased, and independent media is an extremely important part of liberal electoral democracy. And for the greater part of the past two centuries, this is what we more or less had. Yes, major media outlets have always been somewhat controlled by the upper class (whether in the form of media companies or local media magnates), but until quite recently, most of them didn’t care about using those outlets as propaganda pieces; they just cared about continuing to collect their subscription money, which is likely the best-case scenario for privately owned for-profit media. It is astonishing that this system lasted as long as it did.
Okay, you got me there. I’ll admit that’s a pretty good use for cryptocurrencies

For those confused, “virgin” olive oil means olive oil that has not been mixed (“adulterated”) with other substances. “Extra virgin”, in the United States, refers to olive oil that has the lowest acidity content and the strongest olive flavour, and this comes from the freshest and most quickly-pressed olives. Olive oil that is merely “virgin” is still unadulterated but may be used from olives that are not in their prime in terms of ripeness or have been sitting around for a few days, and thus has a higher acidity level.
“Refined olive oil” is virgin olive oil that has been chemically refined to produce a more stable oil which generally doesn’t have the taste of virgin olive oil nor the health benefits.
“Pure olive oil” is a mixture of mostly refined olive oil with a small amount of virgin or extra-virgin olive oil.
“Light olive oil” is olive oil that has been adulterated with other, cheaper oils.

China’s official narrative doesn’t deny that something happened on that date.
They paint it as the protestors’ fault. They say that the army broke up a dangerous riot.
You can absolutely have a democracy of unemployed people. This basically just describes a solar punk utopia.
This is a real advertisement from an Israeli property development firm advertising their plans to develop and sell land in the Gaza Strip to Israeli settlers after the Israeli military evicts or kills off the current residents.
This is the heart of the evil of these Israeli settlements. It gives the people of Israel an incentive to oppose justice for displaced Palestinians. After all, if the Palestinians regain control of their territory, what will happen to these settlements? Is the land going to be returned to the people it was taken from? Oh, no no no! You can’t allow that to happen! You paid hundreds of thousands of shekels for this house!
Say what?? The Palestinians want compensation to those whose lands and houses were taken from them? Oh, no no no! You can’t allow that to happen either! Your taxes will go up! Why should you, an innocent taxpayer, have to foot the bill?
And even to the Israelis to whom none of this directly applies, they probably know someone to whom it does, or at least the sympathise more with their fellow countrymen than with Palestinians, who for decades their government has been describing as less-than-human savages who would kill them and their family and grind their bones to make their bread. Someone’s going to be losing a million shekels either way, better those Palestinian terrorists than a fellow Israeli, right? Or so the thinking seems to go.
Propaganda and decades of indoctrination and dehumanisation are a powerful thing. Is it any surprise why even seemingly normal Israelis hold such extreme views regarding Palestinians?
