Well yes that's another reason but trust me when I say that you're not the only European country with standards for milk and eggs. There's nothing to brag about. Also, do you even raw pork.

You know that exact kind of thing is why you're known as arrogant swots all over Europe, don't you? Do you google whether Denmark has safe tap water before going on ølviking?

UHT does, 140C for 2-5 seconds. Shelf-stable without refrigeration for up to nine months unless you open it.

Frankly speaking the difference between milk from cows with good diet vs. from cows fed protein slop is greater than between the modes of processing.

Still have PTSD from my mother feeding me raw milk -- unlike in the US it's legal here, also heavily regulated so it wasn't a health risk microbiology-wise but boy am I sensitive to even slight off-tastes in milk because yes you're going to interrupt the cooling chain and no that fridge doesn't have 8C. Unless you're a cheesemaker or such and it's necessary for the process, stay away from raw.

And, no, it doesn't have health benefits. Maybe if your kid doesn't play outside in the mud and the milk is the only source of germs they're exposed to, then it may help them to not develop autoimmune disorders. Be sane, choose mud over milk.

What makes these kinds of comments necessary is uneven media coverage.

You cannot look at a situation where the split is 45/55 max, probably non-existent when including psychological violence, and it's reported in a 95/5 fashion, and then say "Nono you can't mention the 5 in the context of the 95 you're taking away attention". Check your privilege. All you're doing here is obfuscating the issue, reinforcing the eternal female victim vs. eternal male perpetrator narrative which do I need to mention it is not just essentialist AF but provably wrong (again: 45/55).

This is why the average women doesn't want to have anything to do with card-carrying feminism: Because they're not sexist, and feminism by and large has failed to address its internal sexism problem, opting instead for institutionalised cattiness. Which the average women prefers just as much as the average man prefers to get into a fistfight: Neither do. Chillax.

Picard was more Picard but definitely not more TNG/TOS. I'm talking about structure, about storytelling, not cast.

Ironic, given that Lower Decks has become the primary source for pretty much anything Orion by now.

I have completely memory-holed Picard.

I'm not a trekkie, I just watched everything trek there is, I'm not the kind of guy who's going to get a reference to decades-old material for the simple reason that I don't re-watch everything once a year, I'm not steeped in canon. Yet that whole series completely fails to even register as trek in my memory. I guess there was a defunct Borg cube involved? Must've been trek but it doesn't mesh with anything.

Fun fact back in the days the same was said about Tetris (though tongue in cheek).

Nono a buzz cut will generally produce loose biogenic material.

The beginning is kinda weird because Pike's backstory has been told in Discovery. Best part of that series, btw. SNW thus kinda half-tells it, making it more mysterious than it is if you haven't watched Discovery.

The series is mostly episodal, it does have a splattering of story threads that go all season, character development arcs etc. but the focus is always on the planet of the day.

I can understand if people are saying that they've leaned a bit too much into older TV tropes (heck there's a musical episode!) but overall it's really good. Certainly hits the ground running much better than TNG which is a whole first season of cringe before it finds its pace.

Not an issue with video evidence and evidently there was a camera present. Guy should've documented shit instead of filming himself.

I don't even have words for how sus that is: "Look! A crime is being committed!" -- stares into camera, refuses to show crime.

§323c StGB:

(1) Whoever does not render assistance in the case of an accident or a common danger or emergency although it is necessary and can reasonably be expected under the circumstances, in particular if it is possible without substantial danger to that person and without breaching other important duties, incurs a penalty of imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or a fine.

(2) Whoever obstructs a person who is rendering or wishes to render assistance to another person in such a situation incurs the same penalty.

Penalty would be bumped up because committed while in office. Additionally if there's consequences they'd be looking at negligent bodily harm or even manslaughter (because Garantenstellung).

So, question: Did anyone actually file a criminal complaint or is this whole thing going to be limited to shaky tiktoks that don't give nearly enough context to tell what's actually going on?

And, lastly: Police actually have some medical training. They know how to handle unconscious people safely.

We do have those laws in the EU. Parliament is inviting the TikTok CEO to question him about their adherence to those very laws. TikTok is legally required to actively work against manipulation especially around things like elections so they should have be on top of the botting that apparently went on. They're supposed to follow these guidelines.

...of course, parliament could have left it to the commission to enforce this stuff, i.e. fine TikTok, but as this is an election it's absolutely legitimate to make a public scene. Drag that CEO before parliament and make him scramble for excuses before the presidential run-offs and parliament elections. Then post it to TikTok.

TikTok isn't a scapegoat, here, they're being made an example of. Important difference.

No we don't need to move on from TNG and TOS we need more of it, and Strange New Worlds proved it. Also that kind of stuff is exactly what you demand when you're talking about philosophy and better version of humanity.

Too much gritty drama, not enough humour, not enough not taking yourself too damn seriously all the fucking time so when you have some grit to tell it actually hits. Too much fucking nauseating camera movement. Stop copying your pacing from soap operas. Going full Orville would be too much (though the later seasons toned it down) for the main live-action series, but did you know Lower Decks is 100% canon?

As to movies in particular: Make them extensions of the series, again, long (semi-)off-season-arc episode with big budget. There's never been a movie Garak, and that's a problem. Pick up good non-Trek scripts and adapt them to the setting, say, what would Arrival look like if it was Trek?

Insults are a crime over here as-is, and generally speaking psychological violence can be prosecuted as assault as long as the impact reaches the level of bodily injury. E.g. driving someone into depression is assault.

But you're right the laws are insufficient in this regard: While e.g. cutting off hair is considered a bodily injury, a thing which is neither crippling nor permanent nor painful, the standard applied to psychological violence requires lasting, grave, impact, and thus victims have a very hard time getting justice.

And, of course, all of this isn't helped by psychological violence often simply not being considered violence by the median citizen. We need a culture shift in that regard.

hexbear avoided defederation by having admins who are more reasonable than (a not small chunk of) its users, lemmygrad is generally keeping to itself. It's certainly not because Sunaurus, an Estonian, would have a soft spot for Russian imperialism. We're also federated with beehaw, btw, as in they're not blocking us.

I don't know why we have so few communities, either. If we had more there very well might be more defederation drama going on because the more communities, the more chance for people to misbehave. movies is a quite harmless community in that regard, imagine !ukraine@sopuli.xyz while being federated with hexbear or lemmygrad.

I think lemm.ee is just... generic? It's a place where you can have an account and see practically the whole fediverse, attracting a lot of people who just want to participate, not found communities. feddit.org has the whole German community plus the canonical Europe one, lemmy.ca is Canadian, programming.dev is very very techy, dbzero anarchist+pirate.

I don't think much changed in the overall pattern, in another (also German) study what five years ago I read an absolutely overwhelming number of domestic violence constellations is mutual, provided psychological violence is taken into account, bluntly said assholes hook up with assholes. And lesbian couples have a higher rate than heteros who have a higher rate than gay men.

I do think the whole current approach to addressing the issue is fundamentally flawed: Aggression is not particularly gendered, though expresses itself in gendered ways, we have to un-fuck the psychology of people overall. Long story short we need to eat the rich to take the pressure off, then, once people have a breather many will fix themselves, and the rest will be in a state where putting them on the couch actually has a chance of success. Hard to drain a swamp while you're fighting off crocodiles.

lemm.ee had a vote on threads. As to the short blocklist, it's a combination of a liberal federation policy and sunaurus apparently taking the time to clean it up once in a while, other instances have instances on their blocklist which are long defunct.

So... user-curated default subs. Probably less relevant on lemmy because communities aren't as fine-grained as following individual users but I don't think we even have instance-wide default subs, just the all feed.

A "people who joined your communities also joined these communities" mechanic would also be a good idea I think. Run dimensionality reduction over the data once a fortnight and just give people the results, that is, tell them which bubble they're in.

Saying you can’t talk about one kind of murder without solving all violence is disingenuous

Not really, no. Violence doesn't just pop up randomly, it has causes, if you don't look at all the symptoms (types of violence) then you might be missing common causes and with that the best opportunities to actually make inroads.

Like, how many cases of domestic violence are caused by pent-up frustration caused by, reinforced by, and made unaddressable (for the individual) by, capitalism? Fixing that frustration at the source would make "it's not good to be violent with your families" have a much, much greater impact, now it becomes a question of "what's best for my family", not "do I even have the emotional bandwidth to not punch a wall right now".

Always, always, be hypervigilant about reductionism, it's the primary mechanism the, for lack of better term, hivemind uses to repress stuff so it can continue this neurotic BS. Also, eat the rich.
