Trump promises a ‘deal’ on abortion that will please everyone. It likely doesn’t exist.
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

The consent-o-matic add on allows you to autofil the cookie response and when it doesn't work you can report it. The ad on is also funded by the EU somehow, can't remember exactly how. If the add on doesn't work it means their site is not asking the question correctly.

What is your favorite kid friendly book made just for traumatizing children?
A lot of the original versions of the brothers Grimm stories. For example Cinderella, one of the sisters chops off bits of her feet so that she can try and get into the shoe Cinderella dropped. I think the Prince only figured it out because she's dripping in blood.

What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?
Binging with babish. I am still subscribed but I find myself interested in fewer and fewer videos. The channel started as recreating meals from tv shows and still is that to an extent but naturally he's run low on things to do. They've added other aspects that I just don't care for like anime with Alvin. I just don't watch much anime. I also feel like there is just less content.
Another is Joshua Weissman who used to do fermenting videos and curing etc. Now I feel like I just watch him make some bread buns and then he makes a sandwich. He's made 100 burgers by now. Who cares. I enjoyed some other series he did like "but faster" or "but cheaper" but they always seem to end after a few episodes and he moves onto something else. I feel like I learn stuff from his videos but just when I'm getting a feel for a topic like fermenting he moves on.

Well people tried to kill Hitler loads of times. 42 times according to Wikipedia. First was in 1932, before he became dictator.

They probably meant North Macedonia. Macedonia changed it's name since there is also Macedonia in Greece which is presumably the southern part of Macedonia. There's a lot of places like that in Europe. Usually remnants of old kingdoms. Tyrol is a region encompassing part of Northern Italy and Western Austria for example. Bohemia is another example which historically was a lot bigger than the region of Czech nowadays.

What a happy ending. Some people are really cynical about the Internet these days but it's things like your comment that give me hope.

Do you live in a world lacking empathy? I suppose you were born knowing all words and never learned any. If this person is young or has English as a second language they might not have heard it. Hell if they are old they also might not have heard of it.

To the GOP it is because those 24 cases give them a chance to block many more votes. Just get the vote out strong enough and this wont matter.

Funnily enough Germany was the richest nation in the years running up to WW1. And then after at least Berlin was one of the most tolerant places in the world before the Nazis came to power. Would still be considered extremely progressive. I do wonder sometimes if the extreme wealth led to progressiveness, WW1 never got to Berlin after all. The Nazis used the decent of the populace into poverty because of the sanctions of Versailles as fire for their cause. Boogymen were provided by the Nazis in the form of minorities such as the Jews to justify abhorrent behaviors.
I see many many similarities in the US today. From wealth disparity to the boogyman of the "immigrants" and so on. Instead of Versailles it's the sanctions of the environment etc etc.

It's not more efficient in how people want to get there. The people who stand and ride the escalator have no rush to get there quicker so they get there on time. The people who want/need to go faster get there as fast as possible. In your scenario everyone MUST be slow, no? What am I missing here?

Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane?

Why? Because the gas ones will actively ruin the bike path. They are much heavier and will cause much quicker wear and tear. Of course you also shouldn't have to breathe the fumes from them.
