polluted, how?

what are they like for duability - e.g. knocks from being put in and pulled out of a rucksack

I really want to avoid the whole google thing.

I’m about to write something that I, with no international politics nor trade education but plenty of opinions shaped by social media, thinks world leaders should take note of.

honour ego.

I live in a country where I’ve heard a 15-16yo Pakistani kid on a packed bus state he was going to kill his sister because he didn’t like who she was dating - and that he had hit her before because of it. I don’t think most people have any idea how normalised it is in their culture. The country is England.

Are you daring to suggest that posts on Lemmy by certain accounts are only to manipulate public opinion. No!!!1

• “Lemmy is too small, why would bots bother?” etc, etc.

Yep, unfortunately, media have the right to be afraid following the Charlie Hebdo nonsense, here are some examples of criticisng Islam:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Rushdie - Now Sir. a man who wrote some books Islamists didn’t like. So they threatened to kill him. A fatwa. Multi-million pound bounty and a failed assassination attempt. All because of a book. All through the 80s he was in hiding, covered by the police, paid for by the tax payer. When he emerged from hiding like in the 90s or so, everything had died down and was cool, yes? Nope, he got attacked by a guy with a knife and he lost an eye in 2022 in NY. Read this, it states “a man has been charged”, it (cowardly?) failed to mention that the 24 yo man was a Muslim with ties to Lebanon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabbing_of_Salman_Rushdie
• Charlie Hebdo - a French magazine was raided and people there were shot by two young Muslim men who killed 12 and injured 11. “It published cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 2012, forcing France to temporarily close embassies and schools in more than 20 countries amid fears of reprisals.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo_shooting. More Muslim-led violence continued after the Charlie Hebdo raid where jews were targeted and killed. Most of the muslims involved were unfortunately killed (so they think they go to a heaven, full of virgins or something… is that meant to be appealing to young men? - Islam knows how to market itself to an audience of rapist men)
• 2020, A French teacher beheaded for showing his students the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. Yes, beheaded and disemboweled. Not by the French peasants for a revolution, but by a former 18yo Muslim student who was shown such pictures in a lesson on free speech. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20211015-france-honours-quiet-hero-teacher-killed-for-showing-prophet-mohammed-cartoon - It was seen as “an attack on the core values drilled by teachers into generations of schoolchildren, including the separation of church and state and the right to blaspheme.”

You can listen to podcasts of Muslim “elders” and they openly laugh and boast about how women “should not even be heard” when those elders live in non-Eastern countries. Yes, England, I’m looking at you.

Media needs to give a new term to the concept of Pakistani “honor”. Governments are afraid to touch it (esp. the UK govt.) with regard to Pakistanis in particular and Islam. Probably for fear of being victims of ‘honor’ killings themselves given recent history.

Do Alice and Ray live there?

oh god, make it stop. this will crash and burn.

Oh, I’m so excited to see a rehash of this washed up hasn’t-aged-well sitcom by you-know-who can only tell one joke.

Man I hate that people like that guy have kids who have no say in their treatment.

Yeah, his justification is “if you were the kid, would you want to do everything to try and make you better? (think non-verbal needs 24/7 care and probably no chance of improvement ever)”… which I feel for, but when the kid is crying and screaming when he’s having stuff done to him, I think that’s a very clear answer.

It’s very harmful and only used because the thing it’s used to treat – heavy metal poisoning

I agree totally…

… apparently he believes that there’s research that shows that autism and heavy metal poisoning are linked… He even sent off for a kit that tested the poor kid’s urine / poop and it came back positive so off he went to an European country to do it… He believes that facebook groups are genuinely ahead of scientists, and doing what they don’t want us to know.

Brace yourself, it’s about to go down

damn sirens

Most of American shows tbh.

Because that would piss putin off and the UK always backtracks when that’s possible, with ministers even publicly apologising to him on tv news.

^ice, ice, baby!^
