Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?
Sugar. People don't realize how bad it is for you and how addictive it is.

How do poor people in the states give birth without money?
American hospitals cannot legally refuse to treat you even if they know you can't pay/don't have insurance. So worst case scenario is you go and have whatever done and they bill you and you don't pay and it's a write off for the hospital.
Often times, if you can't pay they will offer a reduced amount to at least get something out of you if they know they won't get anything otherwise.

Russia has 'right to war' with 'each and every' NATO country - Medvedev
They can't even fight a small country like Ukraine and they want to test the might of a fully armed and optional Battlestaion NATO alliance? Do they believe that anyone really believes them?

No, there is nothing. Google has no API into RCS so it's a closed system, same as iMessage unfortunately

Your partner/mom/cat has been kidnapped, and the only way to save them is to "write a comment that is guaranteed to get downvoted on Lemmy." What do you comment?
You can post anything and it will get down voted. Lemmy is as toxic as reddit and people use downvote as a tool to suppress what they don't like, regardless of the merit of the comment.

Putin wants a US president who is ‘more constructive,’ Kremlin says
from now on you have to be more careful with Russia
What? You've shown your entire military is a joke. If anything, everyone knows they can wreck your military with little effort. The only defense you have at this point is your nuclear weapons. But you can't really use those or you'll turn the entire world against you.

No, they don't. Only a very small percentage of the videos on Youtube end up making any money for the creators.

Your biological age doesn't matter on the Internet. Your only currency is how you communicate. If you communicate like a child, as far as the Internet is concerned, you are a child. If you want to be treated like an adult you need to act/communicate like an adult.

Shocking moment Ukrainian deputy Serhiy Batryn blows up meeting with grenades in ‘act of terrorism’: officials
Reply in thread
Grenades aren't intended to be kill or breach devices like you see in movies. While they do explode, they do so in such a way as to shred the outer casing making it such that it creates lots of tiny, sharp fragments (hence the name, "fragmentation grenade") which then injure and disable people.
The explosive power of a grenade is rather minimal in the grand scheme of things and unless you are right on top of it or just take an unlucky hit from a piece of shrapnel, you will survive but be injured. The intent, then, is that other people will now have to help you, so injuring one person disables two to three people from the fight.

I just let my cats out, and exclaimed, "Go forth my night beasts!" When they come in they get greeted in various other fashions. What kind of weird stuff do you say and do with your pets?

Not The Onion: a french group has been arrested 5 years ago and are currently being judged. A picture of macron with a dick drawn on it is cited as evidence of plotting a terrorism attack
That article is awful. Is it a machine translated article? Can anyone summarize it. I couldn't stand trying to read it, it was so poorly written.

USS Carney Shoots Down Missiles, Drones Fired From Yemen

The size of these conflicts are tiny. The US military can fight two MAJOR conflicts simultaneously. By comparison, the Ukraine and the Middle East barely count as one. Many people don't understand the size of the US military and it's ability to project power. It would take two massive wars the size of WWII to overextend the US currently. If something like that were to happen, NATO would obviously be stepping in, adding a massive backing to an already massive military.
The only military in the world that could even begin to deplete the USAs ability to respond indefinitely would be China and that is super questionable (Especially in light of the laughable showing from the Russian military, there's serious question as to what kind of paper tiger China is at this point. There's no question they are going to be more formidable than the Russian military, but there's a lot of speculation that it won't be by much. They have too much corruption and grift, the same as the Russian military, just not quite as extensive). They don't have the material, supply, and logistic to fight a sustained and protracted battle with the US. The US, being effectively an isolated country, has the largest Navy in the the world and is literally built around a logistics chain that requires absolutely NO land transport. The US can have a full logistical chain anywhere in the world, all feeding back from the US mainland if necessary and sustain that indefinitely.
