Having lived in Utrecht, yes all those stores in the picture, completely empty, also all the people on bikes are happy to finally have the chance to sit after spending their day in a house without furniture.

To quote Not Just Bikes: “the USA wasn’t built for cars, it was destroyed for cars”
Most cities in the US were walkable and public transport oriented, but in the fifties all livable neighborhoods and city centers were bulldozed to make place for parking lots and arterial roads.
Quelle surprise, Google wants to violate your privacy.
It would be a nice precedent, every time an ai fucks up the legal responsibility escalates directly to the CEO.
No idea what this is about but upvoted for the cats
That sounds much better.
Not having healthcare is kind of a big deal. It’s easy for us Europeans to forget the implications, but for a significant portion of the US populous, if they get sick they’ll either go bankrupt or they’ll simply just die. Which is insane.
In your statement you are completely disregarding the security concerns of the Palestinians, calling the current state of the Gaza strip a 'token of good will' is absolutely ludicrous. If you really believe this I would invite you to read the wikipedia article on the great march of return: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–2019_Gaza_border_protests.
On apartheid I will simply refer to the judgment of HRW: https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/07/19/israeli-apartheid-threshold-crossed
And finally it is not stupid idealism to want to end the current status quo in Israel, I think it has become clear over the last few days that it is not possible to suppress a population without some kind of response: an apartheid state is a state of violence. And I hope we can all agree (at least if you are not an ethnonationalist) that the current state of South Africa is much much better than it was during apartheid.
Stop the occupation of Palestine, stop the settlement of the West Bank, and stop the apartheid status of Palestinians in Israel. Then either allow Palestine to be an independent country in the UN, responsible for their own security and economy. Or give all Palestinians voting rights in Israel as a one state solution. After that is set and done set up an independent criminal court to judge on all war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in this region, this will of course also include Hamas.
I would rather they don’t commit war crimes :)
Of course Israel knows this is not possible, but it’s a nice statement to point at every time they get caught killing civilians. “Look we told them to leave, nothing we can do after that.”
I personally suspect the USA or nobody, but what do I know. (They have a significant military presence in Niger and I haven’t heard anything that would suggest their bases are in jeopardy)
I get your point, there is probably a nicer word for it. But I find it more fucked up that a bunch of frogs militarily and financially sponsor dictators and then pretend it’s a crime against democracy when they get overthrown (be it by a similarly un democratic army).
French Africa falling like dominos, curious what’s behind this.
If it was possible I would put quite some money on that geo engineering (like stratospheric aerosol injection) will be seriously discussed on a UN level within ten years. Climate change seems only to speed up and co2 emissions are still rising. At one point there is simply no alternative.
