Russia will simply destabilize anything it can. They tried to get all of Africa, but it turns out they can see through their bullshit like everyone else, so they’ve decided to fuck with a handful of countries instead. These countries, by the way, are often responsible for vast diamond mining operations, with Russia being the number one country for both sourcing and laundering blood diamonds on the planet.

The people organizing this shit are the ones who are becoming African mining oligarchs. It’s essentially the same as Russia’s attempted playbook in Ukraine.

Awesome, hopefully they’ll do it to all the others. Maybe take a few oligarch yachts with them along for the ride to the briny deep.

It should be taxed on the corporate side. Taxing sugar on the consumer side becomes a poor tax, because poor people will still want sweets from time to time, making those treats now more and more expensive. Well off people will just accept the tax because it’s marginal to them, but when your chocolate bar that you treat yourself to once a week goes from 1.29 to 3.29, then it really fucks your day up.

What should be done is incentives to provide less sugar/glucose-fructose on the product side and encourage companies to make snacks and beverages that have less sugar content.

It’s never enough for these people. She could literally be pulling carbon out of the environment with her bare hands, and people would say something like “wow, look at her doing it to get all the attention for herself”

D’ya like dagsböter?

I’m sure if Harriet Tubman was active today, she would be facing the same sort of bullshit as Greta. Probably worse thanks to her complexion.

“Comedy website”

Lol… holy shit dude. Super stable post. Don’t forget to check under your bed at night for preachy vegans who are coming to get you.

This is the sort of fantasy right wingers imagine themselves pulling off in the name… I dunno freedom?

*writes blog post stating its not people who identify as meat eaters who are the fundamentalists

Post content: “You’re fucking lying!! Vegans are 100% the problem. Theyre fucking guilting me, no better than an anti abortionist piece of shit cunt fucking see it ALL THE TIME!!!”

Lol, Russian “journalist.” Must be the same ones not reporting on the war crimes Russians are committing.

Rot in hell, shitbag.

Good. I used to think she was one of the sane pop idols, but it turns out she’s just the same old piece of shit as the majority of them. I hope they make an example out of her waka waka her ass to white collar prison in cuffs.

Wow, thanks for doing this. Is there a reason I can’t upvote on kbin? Did they defederate from lemmy.world or something?

People need to start policing themselves, because there will be no accountability. There should be like a top 10 most wanted list of shitty people fucking everyone over and we should all agree to harass them and not give them a moments rest. If they want to fuck us over collectively for their personal gain, there should be consequences.

The people running these companies should be afraid to show themselves in public.

More like “Let me rifle through everything in your apartment, your email, browser history, passwords, social media messages, and then provide me the geolocation date for everywhere you go, along with your biometric data.”

The problem with your argument is it doesn’t even showcase just how egregious the entire privacy invasion aspect is.

I’m comparing two shitty things using hyperbole

Fastest and easiest way to get my point across

It was not temporary for me. I had to go into my settings and delete my changes to get it working again.

Nah, they’re awful. Your explanation is like someone saying, “Nazis are awful,” and you saying “Depends. Fritz had me over for dinner and him and his wife are pretty nice, and Hanz is good defense for a game of footie.”

Just because there are exceptions to the rule, doesn’t make the entire format, as a whole, not awful. The idea, right down to its core of being 1) easily accessible 2) quickly digestible and 3) easy to market with turns it into a party where everyone is jumping around saying “Hey, hey! Look at me! Looook at meeeeeee! Please give me your attention!”

This is why 50% of TikTok users surveyed said that videos over one minute long are stressful for them, it’s completely devastated people’s attention spans.

But this still ignores the ultimate cardinal sin of video content: forcing the vertical aspect ratio in order to facilitate easier scrolling, even though OUR BINOCULAR VISION IS OPTIMIZED FOR WIDESCREEN VIEWING.
