He literally doesn’t believe in germ theory.
And I don’t mean ‘literally’ as in ‘figuratively’. He genuinely doesn’t believe in the most basic element of modern health and medicine.
You can’t expect him to then grasp something as nuanced as dosage.
What is your use case? I ask because ESXi is free again, but it’s probably not a useful skill to learn these days. At least not as much as the competition.
Similarly, 2.5" mechanical drives only make sense for certain use cases. Otherwise I’d get SSDS or a 3.5" DAS.
He only created it to block Congress from passing something more effective.
He certainly didn’t do it out of concern for the environment.
Disclaimer: Not European, so this is my perception about the similar rise in the US.
Part of it is economics, and the general decline of (personal) prosperity. People can’t afford the things needed for a comfortable life. That includes housing, heat, food, and entertainment.
Part of it is definitely propaganda. No matter what the issue is, you can find countless sources pointing to whatever enemy you might think of. And people flock to it, choosing their own echo chambers. Side note: Lemmy is very much part of this, although typically in the opposite direction than what boosts AfD.
But I think the biggest factor is education, particularly in critical thinking. A lot of these movements promise an easy explanation and an easy fix. Real solutions never are. It takes a lot more effort to truly examine their claims, and it always comes with real downsides that people don’t want. There also isn’t a moment after any policy changes where people evaluate the results, and reevaluate the plan to figure out how to better get to their goals.
To all of my European friends, please remember that AfD (and other similar groups) are merely a symptom, not the disease itself. You have to identify and address the root cause of why AfD has any meaningful support.
And by ‘detain’, they mean arrest. And by ‘jokes’, they mean get your coat.
A reminder to all that if there is no body cam footage when there should be, that is reasonable doubt. You have to assume the officers did the worst actions possible, and did so maliciously.
Worse is that there is only so much money that racists are able/willing to give to other racists. As the funds dry up, these actions are going to get more deplorable as they need to squeeze blood from a stone.
As awful as it is, I’m not sure any crime was committed. Hate speech is generally protected under the 1st amendment (some restrictions apply).
I also believe you have to be convicted for it to take effect.
Were it not for actual Trump, wannabe Trump was on track to win. It won’t take long for that to come back
Didn’t elect their own Trump wannabe yet.
Fascism is on the rise globally, so we must all be vigilant. There are enough warning signs that Canada could be just around the corner.
It actually seems pretty critical of Trump, at least for as long as I bothered to watch the video. But it’s presented in a form that belongs on TikTok and nowhere else.
Jesus, and it’s a fucking video on top of all that…
no bus to church??
In the US, many (most?) churches offer their own transportation. It’s common enough that the term ‘church bus’ is a thing, although it’s usually more like a large van. For those that don’t, the parishioners will often offer transportation to those that need it.
Joke’s on him - local police have been getting heavy duty military equipment for decades.
I just wish that joke was funny.
He’s already destroying the US. Maybe he can destroy the Catholic Church, too.
They have to file paperwork with the necessary supporting documents. If they can’t, you have no idea why. Maybe it’s because they’re ineligible and in violation of immigration and visa restrictions. Maybe it’s because the documents were lost in a move. Maybe they had their identity stolen and are awaiting new documents. Maybe they just don’t actually give a shit about the job and aren’t bothering to do the paperwork to start working.
All you can say is that you’ve asked them to fill out the paperwork and they haven’t done so.
Because the press is complicit, they are intentionally avoiding that word. They usually say something like “annex” or something similarly soft and benign.
Except that’s not what’s being discussed. Attempting to forcefully “annex” a sovereign country already has a name, and that’s “invasion.”
They were named pent-ium because they were 586. Of course, the name lasted a lot longer than the technical reasons.
The Pentium Pro was i686.
They often tie it to current offerings. So your plan may have unlimited 4G data for life, but won’t include anything faster/newer. So once you want/need 5G, you have to switch to a different plan.
