Cars aren't supposed to park here.

I'm so tired of this shit.

Caffeine is an addictive substance.

If you are used to drinking coffee and don't have your daily dose, you will feel terrible. Some people are very sensitive to caffeine and may experience anxiety.

I'm a caffeine addict so I'm biased here. I should perhaps reduce my coffee intake and switch to tea. I just can't get my self to do it.

However, studies found coffee is not actually a dangerous addiction:

Most driving mistakes aren't actually mistakes. It's people who just don't give a shit.

Well. I'm not a bot.

But then again, that's exactly what a bot would say.

Would a bot do this? aaaaaaaaaaazapqpAOÇAAZOO!!@ WOOF WOOF HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

Probably not. I'm just a depressed human.

Across the United States, zoning codes require new developments to provide a minimum number of parking spaces, which carry substantial construction costs.

In this report, we use 2025 construction cost estimates from Rider Levett Bucknall to calculate the cost per space in 17 U.S. cities and combine these data with local minimum parking requirements to estimate how parking mandates increase total construction costs across building types.

We find that parking construction costs have risen substantially faster than inflation since 2012 and that required parking can account for a large share of total project costs—adding tens of thousands of dollars per housing unit and, in some cases, increasing total construction costs by more than 50%

France right now is like a powder keg

This far-right activist was beaten by a street group calling themselves the Young Guards ("Le Jeune Gardes"). What makes this case dangerous is that Raphael Arnault, leader of Young Guards, is also a famous French MP.

He is part of a left-wing party calling themselves the France Rebellion ("France Insoumise").

Raphael Arnault has been involved in street fights with Young Guards against Lepen supporters. He was even sentenced to jail by a judge. However, his political party always defended him, despite his criminal conviction.

Now, the France Rebellion party is getting blamed for this death. And they are facing massive calls for physical retribution.

Things could really get out of control.

Let's hope that cool heads prevail.

Fair enough. There is evidence that coffeine can increase anxiety.

I would love to switch to tea. I just love the taste of black coffee.

You should know this because one of the reasons Trump’s been trying to use to justify this war is that Iran never said they wouldn’t pursue nuclear weapons.

Iran doesn’t want to get nukes

You think a religious dude that just gunned down tens of thousands of his own people is honest?

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/ng-interactive/2026/feb/06/rasht-massacre-protests-iran-timeline

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres

Iran has repeatedly denied access to International Nuclear Inspectors:

I don't like Trump. I don't like Netanyahu. I don't like this stupid war.

But this idea that Iran just isn't interested in nukes is a joke. They have been absorbing crippling sanctions to enrich uranium far-above civilian grade.

The other "left" candidate is Sophia Chikirou, an extremist tankie.

• Jokes that homosexuals are scum

• Paid tribute to the leader of Hamas

• Attends meeting with supporters of Putin

• Says China isn't a dictatorship

On top of that, she is facing a criminal trial for financial fraud.

Unfortunately, she could tank Emmanuel Gregoire's candidacy.

Far left is against capitalism

And you think LFI is favorable to capitalism?

Mélenchon, the leader of LFI:

"Capitalism is a system that is obsolete. Social democracy is outdated"

LFI is not considered as far left by the real far left parties

The leaders of the Anti-Capitalist Party said they would vote for the leader of LFI;

Xi Zhongxun, the father of Xi Jinping, was accused of being anti-communism.

That was a lie. He was actually communist. It didn't matter. He was savagely beaten up by an angry crowd. They broke his teeth. Then, he was thrown in prison without any trial.

I don't like mob rule. I like having a court system.

I hate to break it to you, but if you ONLY get your news from newspapers, you are getting an intensely biased, compromised, and manipulative perspective

You think social media is less compromised, less manipulative??

What happens when someone does something morally wrong but legal?

If a law is bad, you change the law. That's how it works in any democracy.

If americans want a better healthcare system, all they have to do is change the law.

The issue is that :

1. Americans vote for corrupt people. Rick Scott was convicted of defrauding Medicaid and Medicare. He was still elected by the people of Florida

2. Americans insist on giving some empty states 2 senators.

3. Americans insist that the Senate needs a super-majority to vote any bill

These flaws are why americans can't have healthcare.

Ultimately, it's up to americans to fix their political system to make it more representative if they want healthcare. Killing random CEOs isn't going to work.

There is no paywall. It's a gift article.

I mostly use LibreOffice, Firefox, qBitTorrent, VLC and the Terminal (sudo apt-get update)

I don't notice much difference.

She isn't a sacred figure. She is not the living embodiment of Palestine.

Don't confuse a cause and individuals.

political propaganda units promoting violence and murder?

La Stampa is promoting murder and violence? 🔪🩸

Really? That's completely illegal under Italian law.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I can't just scream "I think you are a pedophile" then violently punch you in the face.

It doesn't work like that.
