We don't need reddit, reddit needs us. Just move on and be done with the platform. Just create new habits with Lemmy and reddit should slowly fade away from your mind. If we give alternatives some time, I'm sure great content will emerge and crazy shit like the three days no poop challenge will happen more over time.

I am personally very optimistic.

Update: The hottest 21 days ever recorded were the last 3 weeks

Where I'm from, we were massively talking about it in the 80s when I was a kid. It promply stopped by the end of the 90s. Then all of sudden, we don't hear much about it.

It's so fucked up to be told all your life that your are insane to believe in climate change, and then about 40 years later, most people talk about it as if it was a given.

We should not be anxious about climate change, we should be furious.

Riots in France have already cost businesses more than $1 billion | CNN Business

For those who don't know, while previous tensions regarding the recent pension protests are most likely not helping the current situation, these riots are about a cop murdering a 17 years old in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.

Mainstream media pushed the narrative that it was the fault of the parents if the teenager was a thug and tried to present the kid as a dangerous individual (while he had some issues with the law, his lawyer insisted he didn't have a criminal record). The cop in question claimed the teen tried to ram him with his car and shot him out of self defense. Multiple videos of the event emerged and the police officer's claim turned out to be a complete lie (he even threatened to put a bullet in his head if he didn't comply for not having his license or something like that). Apparently, this is the kind of story that happens quite a lot in these parts of France, but now that videos of it emerged it caused the current outrage.

Now the government is claiming the riots are caused by social medias and video games and two police unions wrote a press release declaring war on these "hordes sauvages" (savages hordes) and "nuisibles" (harmful/detrimental) referring to the people of Naterre by all means necessary. (Some politicians from the oppositions are quite disturbed by it).

I'm not French, but that's what I got from multiple reports so far, I might be missing some details.

South Korea has jailed a man for using AI to create sexual images of children in a first for country's courts

Reply in thread

Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder. Sexually abusing a child is a terrible crime.

Lots of pedophiles will never touch a child. Alternatively, some people who are not pedophiles will sexually assault children (sometimes, it can be just a power dynamic thing for example).

I think you are confusing the terms. Nobody here is defending people who assault children.
