Trump Plans $92 Million Military Parade—Honoring Himself | Donald Trump is pulling straight from the dictator’s playbook.
I'm 100% convinced DOGE will stop this as it is not very efficient use of tax money.

What do Butterfly-Tattoos mean ?
Looked up the original post and the guy seems to be a nazi with a big incel/misogynist followership. People asked about the meaning in the comments and only got really stupid answers so I guess there is no meaning, just incels hating.

Belgian film festival cancels screening of 'Russians at War' documentary after Ukraine's appeal
TBH I'm quite surprised they even considered showing that propaganda shitshow, they must have completely missed the shitstorms the other film festivals encountered last year.

Lets contribute to OpenStreetMaps!
I don't want to discourage anyone from helping OSM using StreetComplete or other apps, but you should be aware that this is an open source project and your edits are public. If you walk around in your neighborhood and contribute opening times or whatever, those edits can be seen on a map along with your username and can in many cases be used to narrow down the neighborhood you live in, depending on your behavior. So if you're concerned about privacy, make sure you use a random generic username that you don't use anywhere else when signing up, so people googling your username from social media for example can't locate you just based on that name.

Tesla warns Trump administration it is ‘exposed’ to retaliatory tariffs
I mean, yes they're not entirely wrong. On the other hand, at this point it doesn't really matter anymore. No one's buying that shit even at current prices, increasing prices with tariffs can't really make that any worse IMO.

We’re all living longer, but Mediterraneans live longest in EU, says Eurostat
Relevant research that just won an ig nobel prize.
tl;dr: they don't live longer, they just don't report their dead relatives and pocket the pensions.

Testimony reveals doors would not open on Cybertruck that caught fire in Piedmont, killing three
Not suggesting anything of course, but Trump just bought himself a Tesla and if he really really wanted to help Musk improve Tesla's image…

'Watch him sweat': Europe reportedly sharpens knives as it sees 'self-destructive' Trump
Reply in thread
That would require him to give a single shit about the consequences of his actions, but he'd rather watch his country burn than admit he was wrong about something.

The german political Party of Progress officially supports BuyFromEU. The party has one seat in the EU parliament. "We support the strenghtening of european producers in times of global trade conflict
That's cool and all but it's a tiny obscure party that got 0.0% in the recent elections (they did get some votes but not measurable with only one decimal), so I'm afraid their approval of this movement won't have a huge impact.

Gepard flak tank praised as most reliable German weapon in Ukraine
Funny how shit turns out, I remember quite vividly how in 2022 everyone was like "oooh Germany dumping their useless outdated dumb shit on Ukraine just so they sent something too". Today Germany is biting their own ass for discontinuing that system and the military units using it cause we gotta start from scratch buying new shit and building up new military units using it.

"Too Good To Go", Danish company that helps prevent food waste and save money on food at the same time
Reply in thread
I disagree, at least don't see that for any of the stores participating in my area. They don't like overproducing either, everything they throw away is a loss for them. But it's also difficult to predict how much you'll be able to sell on any given day. Bakeries for example usually bake only once a day in the early morning and they have to make an educated guess about how much of each item will be sold that day, but it's never gonna be a perfect guess. Sometimes they're out early, a few customers will be disappointed and the shop will make a tiny bit less profit that day, and some other times they produce a bit too much that they won't be able to sell the next day so they'd have to throw it out. I just don't see how it's greenwashing trying to avoid that by finding takers for the extra stuff using this app. If someone eats the food then it's not wasted food.

European alternatives to Google's Gmail
Been using mailbox.org for a couple of years and I'm quite happy with it. Don't know what "needs client app" is supposed to mean though. If you don't want to use a mail client you can use the web interface. I've used maildroid on Android with it and when it was discontinued switched to Thunderbird, both work fine with mailbox.org.
There's one tiny minor annoyance, they somehow automatically create a new "archive" folder for every year that the web interface uses when you hit the archive button but in your mail client you gotta change the preferences manually once a year. Don't know if you can change but it's such a minor inconvenience I never bothered to check.

Looking for good vegan hair bleach that doesn't break the bank
Reply in thread
Have you ever bleached your hair? That shit burns AF both on your skin and in your eyes. Now imagine you got bred for the sole purpose of spending your life in a tiny cage where people test painful chemicals on you till you die. Pretty cruel indeed.

[Combat] A Russian soldier panicked when an FPV drone landed on him but failed to detonate.
Not an expert but it looks like it very much detonated in the end.
