Is this real? Or just some balloon fetish role play shit?

I’ve seen this type of stuff on reddit now and then tbh…

That picture hurts soo much…

Starving kid embracing its mom, loving her unconditionally. Mom’s eyes full of desperation… Powerful image…

Nah, this system has been in place for years.

Place where I live also gives about the equivalent of 5000 USD for a birth. My wife got a single room in the hospital (very basic public hospital, but not a room with 4 other mothers). The 5k just about covered the medical costs for the pregnancy, birth and the additional cost for the room for 3 days …

It’s not a genocide anymore. We should start calling it what it is, a holocaust. The entire systematic destruction/eradication of a people, not just the murder of them, but the entire structural destruction of one.

I enjoy life. But I am very aware that if I die, it all just stops.

If not for the pain I’d cause my loved ones, I wouldn’t mind dropping dead tomorrow. As long as it’s instant and painless. Like turning off a pc. When it’s off, it’s over. Easypeasy. No more stress, hunger, love, joy, nothing. Doesn’t sound horrible to me.

Suicide though? No way. There’s too much good to actively keep living for.

That one guy’s dead wife obviously.

Except for musquitos. They’re fair game.

To be honest, selling copied games also paid for my games, my CD writer and then some when I was 14-15. Took ages to copy a single CD, and it would regularly fail, but friends happily paid me 10 euro for a working copy of the latest fifa.

The father complained that his daughter got refused entry into Canada and was then detained in the US. If she would have had the correct paperwork for Canada, nothing would’ve happened.

But I agree, my rant is a bit out of place in here. Not the right place to relieve stress about dealing with entitled white people :)

While the US is going batshit insane, fuck white people that ignore visa requirements.

Most countries have very clear visa regulations, especially for short term visas. If you travel to the US and Canada as a European white person and you get refused entry because your paperwork is not OK, that is entirely on you. I deal with those entitled people on the regular. It’s satisfying to see them not being able to use their white card. L2read and prepare.

If you’re not white and European, that’s a different story unfortunately…

(and just to be clear, I absolutely do not agree with what Drumpf is doing, the guy and his cronies and enables are criminals…)

Screenshots are so much faster than a link though on a phone. I do crop mine before sending, but I send a lot of Screenshots in my group chats.

Where I work, it’s a non issue. As long as it doesn’t impact your work and nobody notices it (foul odor or behaviour), nobody could care less.

Have you seen his ears? It’s Macro Dumbo Rubio

The weird thing is that once you get a foot in the door, Japanese immigration policies actually aren’t that strict. You just need a guarantor (company) to be willing to hire you.

The language barrier and hesitancy of companies to hire non-Japanese is the actual barrier, not so much the immigration policies themselves. The government could ofcourse encourage companies to hire foreigners…but Japan changes at a glacial pace.

I’m sure they’ll be ready to deal with the new world under trump by 2035-40

Lemmy has a hardon for FOSS, and an irrational hatred for windows.

Aside from that, it’s quite nice imo

Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.

I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won’t kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,…

Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.

Lol, OK. Yeah. Didn’t think about caveats. :D

Ah, fair enough. So that’s similar to “infinite universes of infinite possibilities, except light can never go faster than 300.000 km/sec”?

In an infinite list of letters, every single book ever written, every word ever spoken (and to be written/spoken) should be present no?

I guess the only caveat is that in an infinite universe certain physical laws could be universal (which would prevent eg any universe to break the speed of light)? But some version of me having hair past my 30s should certainly exist no?

Or am I getting this completely wrong?
