What even is their argument?
If inclusion of disabled people violates the constitution, you have a shitty constitution.
I like it, but I feel it’s a little jargony, especially the first bit.
Your average person has no clue what “open protocol” means.
Maybe we don’t all suck and language and grammar are arbitrary social constructs and treating them as immutable rules forgets the main point which is to convey meaning, not stick to traditions.
keeps admitting
what countries has the EU admitted that aren’t in europe?
Anyways, while I’d agree caucasus countries aren’t in geographic europe, they are usually counted in cultural europe.
I don’t think you’ve grasped the difference between erasure and genocide.
It’s not the programming. It’s the power and financial success. Back in the day it was the oil buisnessmen.
Louisiana Department of Health says it will no longer promote mass vaccination health.
Russia’s “ministry of defence” is pretty reminiscent of in 1984, Oceania’s “ministry of truth”.
Yep sorry I always mix up the acronym.
Post-orthostatic (after standing up) vs Postural Orthostatic (when standing up in an upright posture) sometimes get mixed in my foggy brain.
Bavaria is the richest part of Germany.
Europe as a whole, yes. Europe’s oligarchics who benefit from the far right parties Russia is pushing, no.
noncredibleeugenics (or to be more technically correct, oversimplified and misapplied mendelian genetics).
It’s basically a tripolar world of three main authoritarian empires (US, China, Russia) who have transactional relationships, almost à la 1984.
Each state is self-supporting so they do not war over natural resources, nor is the destruction of the opponent the primary objective; for, even when two states ally against the third, no combination is powerful enough to do so.[23][24]Each state recognises that science is responsible for its over-production,[25] so science must be carefully controlled lest the proles or Outer Party expect an increased standard of living.[26] From this analysis stems the policy of permanent warfare: by focusing production on arms and materiel (rather than consumer goods) each state can keep its population impoverished and willing to sacrifice personal liberties for the greater good.[7] The peoples of these states—subject to shortages, queues, poor infrastructure and food—“are no longer domesticated or even able to be domesticated”, says Carr.[27][28]
These states all are similar monolithic regimes.[8]Historian Mark Connelly notes that “the beliefs may differ, but their purpose is the same, to justify and maintain the unquestioned leadership of a totalitarian elite”.[7] Due to the sheer size of the protagonists, there are, says Connelly, no “massive invasions claiming hundreds of thousands of lives”,[23] but instead small-scale, local encounters and conflicts which are then exaggerated for the purposes of domestic propaganda.[8] Connelly describes the fighting between the states as “highly technical, involving small units of highly trained individuals waging battles in remote contested regions”.[23] All sides once possessed nuclear weapons, but, following a short-lived resort to them in the 1950s (in which Colchester was hit)[29] they were recognised as too dangerous for any of them to use. As a result, says Connelly, although London could have been destroyed by a nuclear weapon in 1984, it was never hit by anything worse—albeit “20 or 30 times a week”—than “rocketbombs”, themselves no more powerful than the V-1s or V-2s of World War Two.[23]
At any moment, however, an alliance could shift and the two states that had previously been at war with each other may suddenly ally against the other. When this happened, the past immediately had to be re-written—newspapers retyped, new photos glued over old—to provide continuity. In many cases that which contradicted the state was simply destroyed.[30] This occurs during Oceania’s Hate Week, when it is announced that the state is at war with Eastasia and allied to Eurasia, despite the assembled crowd—including Winston and Julia—having just witnessed the executions of Eurasian prisoners of war. Winston describes how, when the announcer spoke, “nothing altered in his voice or manner or in the content of what he was saying, but suddenly the names were different”.[31] Orwell describes the war as one of “limited aims between combatants who are unable to destroy one another, have no material cause for fighting and are not divided by any genuine ideological difference”.[21] These wars, suggests the writer Roberta Kalechofsky, “stimulate the news or ‘the truth’”.[32]

Honestly such a poor excuse given literally every other google search yields reddit as a top result.
I would disagree. The default UI might feel shoddy, but using apps and custom UIs like tesseract or photon and it really doesn’t look shoddy at all.
I hate downvotes because they are super arbitrary and oftentimes really petty. Obviously I recognise they can be useful to weed out horrible and discriminatory stuff, but often they are used as a sort of “disagree” button.
The beauty of lemmy though is can be (and am) on an instance with downvotes disabled . So have the exact same experience except only upvotes are possible.
Eurovision is a popularity song contest, who includes Australia! It’s got little to do with the EU.
