stop being so dramatic

disgusting law enforcement shill

🙄🙄

Don’t speed, don’t normalise speeding. Acab yes, but not because of speeding tickets lol

Speeding cars kill like, so many people. Am I also a disgusting law enforcement shill now?

Often things like that are so they don’t have to explain it in multiple languages for international markets. Same booklet for everyone!

A voting test would just become voter suppression and electoral tampering. Even if it was implemented in good faith (doubt), it would still be full of implicit biases from whoever made it

And even if you kept it about really basic civil questions, that would disenfranchise people who had terrible educations or childhood situations - a demographic with a big overlap with poverty and race etc

i have a friend who was, for a brief time, the leading authority in the world in knocking over old people

This makes it sound like she out there pushing them over

The Internet hates modern pokemon - and a lot of their critiques are valid - but imo they’ve been consistently fun and I have no idea why there’s so much hate for the latest ones which were a pretty chill time

Listen, they need that revenue for their R&D for the steam deck 2 and steam machines and shit. Fuck off ya hoser, eh?

And also for Gabe’s fleet of billionaire yachts

Thomas Jefferson made nails for commercial profit in purpose-built workhouses on his estate. Or to be specific, his child slaves made the nails

That’s fine. I’m just replying to commentors thinking that this is referring to a trump domestic pardon. Not in any way supporting the notion

Well, this is about a potential peace deal which would grant Putin immunity in Ukraine for any war crimes committed there, which theoretically Ukraine would sign. It’s not about Trump using a presidential pardon.

It’s just like, ‘ayyyy’

Yes, if only cos of how big they are

Most of the deaths they cause are being hit by cars, but sometimes the males can get aggressive

Just stay away from them and you’re fine, but as rule don’t fuck with something as big as a moose

Yes

I liked it

Save our children? No, children stabbed!

The Main Proposal:

All hostages, alive and deceased, will be released within 48 hours of signing.

Numbers consistent with previous releases, Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life and detainees from Gaza will be released within 48 hours.

A ceasefire will go into effect upon implementation, for a period of 60 days or until negotiations are concluded. President Trump will guarantee that the parties negotiate in good faith until an agreement is reached.

The issues to be negotiated include: the definition of Hamas, the definition of disarmament, the formation of a new government, the withdrawal of Israeli forces upon the formation of the government or upon successful conclusion of negotiations, and amnesty for Hamas members.

Open flow of aid into Gaza upon implementation of the agreement.

The Nepali media are referring to the whole thing as the Gen-Z protest (जेन-जे विरोध). It might still be weird, or it might be less weird not in translation

This is being referred to as the Gen-Z Protests by all media, not just the above. It comes from Nepali media (जेन-जे विरोध, literally ‘Gen-J protests’) and possibly has a different tone or connotations in Nepali, I don’t know.

There’s been some discontent in Nepal for a while now, the government being viewed as authoritarian and corrupt.

But what’s kicked this off is the government banning social media apps.

So, all these social media companies had a week to register with the government, because of a new law, but most didn’t. So the government banned them and blocked access (nearly all the big ones - apparently tiktok registered and stayed up, as far as I can tell). This happened on the 4th September.

Some people think that curtailing social media use is a direct attempt to stop people drawing attention to corruption: the leading hashtag in Nepal was apparently ‘#NepoKids’ (as in nepotism). I don’t know if that is in English or in translation though.

Yesterday, on the 8th, there were big protests and demonstrations. It’s hard to get a breakdown of what exactly happened - I don’t speak Nepali - but protesters tried to enter parliament, the military responded with tear gas, and before long 19 protesters had been killed.

This obviously sparked a reaction, and it’s still ongoing. The PM has resigned, some officials have apparently fled or tried to flee the country. Lots of places are being set on fire, including prisons (it seems like prisoners are escaping rather than being burnt alive). Some sites say that the social media apps are back online and unblocked now, I don’t know.
