Australia bans social media for under 16s
  • Yeah! Parents should totally be allowed to give their car keys to their 14 year old to go out and drive drunk if they feel their kid can handle it.

  • Russia’s sabotage of western targets ‘could trigger Nato defence clause’
  • Is this the NATO variant of threatening to nuke?

  • Defiant Joe Rogan insists he’s not a propaganda asset, just actually this stupid
  • I wish I could upvote you more. But yes.. this clip also has the old show vibe.. it's a shame he got sucked in.

  • Rudy Giuliani tells judge he can’t pay his bills in courtroom outburst
  • And what bills are those. Cause you gotta live within your means. Personal bankruptcy will help him get put from under contracts deemed too expensive.. so he can pay the people he defamed.

  • Instead Of Making Better Games, Reports Allege That Ubisoft Wants Steam To Hide Certain Data...Like Player Counts
  • These higher ups are convinced that is just too much detail. Same with conversations on.. ok.. but how.. yeah that's implementation details.. that's for other people to worry about. Line goes up?

  • Instead Of Making Better Games, Reports Allege That Ubisoft Wants Steam To Hide Certain Data...Like Player Counts
  • I really enjoyed the division, with some friends it was a fun playthrough. The last farcry we did not even finish.

  • Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry
  • Absolutely!

    That's why we need to regulate what is allowed in contracts because there are things that are just so wrong and predatory we as society should not find that acceptable. We do this all the time, its long overdue to extend this to the music industry.

    Also please understand.. individual that just started out vs multi billion dollar record label with decades of institutional knowledge is not a level playing field.

  • Evan Almighty and flushed away
  • Tom green was .. special.

  • Netherlands Decommissions Makkum Minesweeper, Set to Join Ukrainian Navy
  • In all fairness they will probably be of the same age or newer than the ordinance they will be cleaning up.

  • NATO calls for long-range missiles for Ukraine
  • Oh ffs.. <1000 kilometer range is short range in all treaties.. news media should stop calling these things long range as it reinforces Russia's narrative.

  • New NATO chief Rutte says alliance ‘needs to go further’ in support for Ukraine
  • To the anti war people, Russias not stopping until they are stopped.

    To the EU, not our problem people... If this snowball keeps rolling the cost of housing refugees from Putin's next wars will grow exponentially until we need to also start paying with bodies.

    To the American isolationists, your country played hegemon and rattled this cage for decades now, tucking your tail and run, letting everyone fend for themselves and clean up your mess.. is what caused 9/11.. fuck over enough people and those chickens will come home to roost again. If you burn all your allies.. their intell will be unavailable.

  • Germany records rise in violence against women
  • Thanks man.. it's a troubling trend indeed. And good that you refer to numbers instead of the feelz. And the media is not helping by amplifying the feelz and making stuff disproportionate to the issue we see..

  • Angela Merkel rejects criticism over Russia gas deals
  • Yeah.. ignoring south ossetia annexation and the Crimea annexation and killings abroad using pollonium.. and Putin repeatedly stating Ukraine was a mistake... who could have foreseen this outcome?

    If there was any acknowledgement of the fact it was just realpolitik, we did not care about the other stuff and hoped the trade deals would be enough.. but no.. no introspection whatsoever.

  • Germany records rise in violence against women
  • In all fairness, reactions like yours are probably a reason why. Look, the MGTOW and incels should just fuck off already..

    In this case the subject is related, and a 45/55 split is way less than the disparity in media coverage would have everyone believe.

    The original comment you responded to could have been more helpful to ask for more attention for Domestic Violence in general. But something tells me it would have been met with similar responses.

    Alienating, and ignoring the issues men have that possibly even are a root cause for their instability that leads to DV is also helping women.. maybe even more. This is like how poverty creates crime.. not ethnicity. It is much more of a class issue than a gender causes violence/victimization issue...

  • Germany records rise in violence against women
  • How is the rise in overall violence? Does the violence against women deviate from the overall trend.

    Also escaping abusive relations for women has a financial hurdle is so incredibly depressing to read, as this would in my opinion be the easiest for a government to solve..

    I believe this is also a reason why the right is so focussed on breaking down social security and hammering the "normal family".. to reduce options women have even more.

  • A Russian soldier kept posting videos of air defense at the airport in the Kursk region before the ATACMS strike.
  • We should heavy upvotes and follow guys like this so they provide more.

  • Anti-NATO protest in Montreal erupts in fires, smashed windows
  • Tell that to the people who had family butchered in Bucha, or the soldiers that came from Russian imprisonment looking like WW2 concentration camp survivors with horror stories about their abuse at the hands of Russians.

    War is horrible, but supporting a country filled with people that do not want to be Russians is not a bad deed.

    Even the people in the occupied territories.. all that we need to negotiate.. how did that work out for the world? Not standing up to tyrants just means they will do more. So as long as Ukranians say they want to fight Russia to defend their autonomy we have a moral and ethical obligation to give them what they need to win.

    But thanks for wishing death and harm upon me and my loved ones.

    Edit: thanks moderator :) his posts were over the line.

  • Holodeck Training games

    With all the footage coming out of Ukraine with the fpv drones, the games seen in some episodes used for training make a lot of sense. The game Janeway and seven shooting small maneuverable airborne drones, comes to mind. But also guinan and the shooting colored dots. I have no clue what the games where called, but the prediction is spot on.

    nos.nl Zeeuwse huishoudens krijgen betaald als ze zonnepanelen uitzetten

    Op zomerse dagen met veel zon wordt meer energie opgewekt dan dat er wordt gebruikt en dat belast het stroomnet.

    Zeeuwse huishoudens krijgen betaald als ze zonnepanelen uitzetten

    Dus.. als belastingbetaler betalen we voor salderen. En de energie aanbieders pakken daarvan nu een stuk met de toeslagen (terwijl de netbeheerders het geld nodig hebben).

    En nu gaan ze actief het klimaatbeleid saboteren door mensen te betalen om hun panelen uit te zetten in plaats van opslag realiseren.

    Ik ben benieuwd hoeveel budget ze hiervoor hebben uitgetrokken. En hoeveel opslag ze daarvoor zouden kunnen realiseren. (Homewizard heeft voor 1400 euro een plug in home accu... Ik heb geen aandelen).

    Maar dit is wel makkelijker en sneller voor de bedrijven.. dat wel.

    Ice cream sodas

    One of the oldest icecream parlors in my city serves 1 scoop of chocolate icecream, some whipped cream in a glass topped off with coca cola.

    It's surprisingly good.

    Their other soda is lemon/lime icecream with whipped cream, some ginger and topped with gingerale.

    Excellent too especially on a warm day.

    Thought I'd share as they can be easily made at home too.

    ca.news.yahoo.com US signals that it has expanded policy to allow Ukraine to counterstrike into Russia

    The US appears to have expanded its agreement with Ukraine to strike over the border inside Russian territory wherever Russian forces are engaging in cross-border attacks into Ukraine, not just in the Kharkiv region as was previously determined.

    Topambtenaar Dick Schoof is de kandidaat-premier van de nieuwe coalitie.

    Dick Schoof wil 'premier van alle Nederlanders' zijn

    Nou, voormalig NCTV en AIVD. Kan me voorstellen dat we een hoop veiligheid krijgen in ruil voor onze privacy.

    En gelukkig heeft hij als hoofd van de IND het ook een toekomstbestendige organisatie gemaakt.

    Ik ben benieuwd. En jullie?
