I can’t imagine it would be any different than a new gold mine opening up somewhere in the world.

All these assholes would have a different song to sing if China did an overnight kidnapping of taiwans leader or Russia did an overnight kidnapping of Zelensky.

What do people from the Netherlands call themselves if not Dutch or the Dutch?

Like, people from the United States call themselves Americans, there’s the Spanish and French.

Are they called Netherlanders or something?

Can people at least start slashing the tires of all ice vehicles whenever possible? It’s probably the absolutely minimum that can be done to inconvenience/slow these fuckers down but at least it’s something.

The fuck do you mean hold the line? No one is holding the line. It’s being pushed back further and further every day and hardly anyone is doing anything, let alone “holding the line”.

Of course people are giving up, no one is doing anything.

Especially when the ad is longer than the video you are trying to watch.

Or you watch the entire video than accidentally swipe the edge of your phone and you are sent back, then have to watch it again to view the video once you click it again.

Why couldn’t they just stick with Office… It’s 100% explanatory, short, and to the point.

365 never made sense to me. Is it supposed to represent the year? Like available 24/7 but instead it’s there for you 365 days of the year? And if that’s the case why the fuck would I care? It’s software, of course it’s available to me whenever I want. It’s not a 7/11 hotdog rotisserie.

I’ve never heard of this person before and now this is the second Lemmy post I have seen on the front page of my all feed in the past 10 minutes, the other one being posted by an account that is 13 hours old.

The fuck is going on and why is this lady being targetted by someone?

You would think that we should have caught on sooner considering how there are plenty of mammals, like rabbits, that need to eat their moms poop to get the proper bacteria in their own guts in order to survive. Otherwise they simply die.

South America needs to make its own form of NATO to protect itself from America.

Maybe… SATO…

People split the crab right on the docks after catching them sometimes.

I think the reasoning would be that a nervous system to convey pain would be complex and in a smaller body there’s less room to have complex systems. You can only fit so much into a package. Another thing, not necessarily for lobsters since they are so long lived, is smaller creatures also tend to have shorter lifespans so a system to convey pain wouldn’t be as helpful if you only live for like a year instead of 100 years. It might help you survive another month or two but would it be worth all the resources and space? Who knows.

Can crickets and grasshoppers feel pain? Would pain help them live significantly longer and produce more offspring than grass hoppers who could not feel pain?

That’s all that really matters in the end, if pain helps them breed more. If it doesn’t then that nervous system would never develop or eventually be bred out of the gene pool.

From what I’ve read about lobsters (not sure about crabs) is they have a decentralized nervous system, not a singular brain like mammals.

So how do you humanely and quickly kill a lobster? If you are using a knife it would basically probably have to bleed out, which would not be quick, since you can’t just stab it’s brain or cut its head off like we do to cows, chickens and pigs.

I would be curious if it’s the educational component or the money component that influences people to be right or left leaning.

Yes more people who have second education degrees lean blue, but how many of them are arts degrees and whatnot where they never got to work in their field and are wage slave baristas at Starbucks or whatever.

Meanwhile a lot of people who never went to college went to trade school and are making bank, but most lean towards Republicans.

There was one article I read where people tend to move from Democrat to Republican as they get older, since they eventually amass wealth and net worth and then all of a sudden have more to lose by taxes going up or other policies benefitting those with less then they have and they won’t benefit directly anymore.

I’m sure higher education has a role to play, especially down south where even grade school public education is abysmal and most lean to the right.

But money plays a big role too I imagine.

There are dozens of countries that have dictatorships and dangerous drug smugglers

There is no reason for Trump to picking on Venezuela and only Venezuela other than for their oil.

Stop trying to make it sound like it’s some justified righteous cause MAGA

Ugh I fucking hate Microsoft so much. Why does it exist.

Hey, you. Yeah, you. The person who currently is reading this and works for Microsoft. Fuck you. Quit your job and find something else.

I thought it was an AI joke at first, had no idea this was even possible. Is it not annoying having all the knob labels upside down?

In north America we usually just get a front loading washing machine and then stack the dryer on top of the washer if we don’t get the side by side ones.

It’s the perfect thing too, because everyone knows that’s exactly what it is, even the cops and government, but since only rich people are able to do it no one does a thing about it.

If they saw a poor person pay $1M for a painting they’d shut that down real quick though.

Well not as an individual but the owners/caretakers of the land are legally required to remove it and remediate the area.
