Edit: noticed the first map is from 2018. Here is more recent one:
Jack@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•Turkey sets new record of 50.5 degrees as Europe sweltersEnglish11·5 days agoWinter is not coming
The classic “He didn’t do it, but if he did it was ok” move.
Jack@slrpnk.netto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•KY man wakes during organ harvesting procedure, prompting federal investigation27·5 days agoHe was irresponsible with them, instead of doing drugs he should have been making children and increasing shareholder value… /s
Hese cats look AI generated (I know they are not, cats are just strange)
Jack@slrpnk.netto Europe@feddit.org•Trump tells Europe to ‘get your act together’ on immigration before US-EU trade talksEnglish7·6 days agoI remember when not being a fashist was a virtue…
Jack@slrpnk.netto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Another terrorist attack in Los Angeles. A man was intentionally hit head-on by a road-raging driver. The driver tried to hit him as hard as possible. English1·6 days agoI do agree that the people that need cars now just have no other choice, but we must keep that into perspective. What I am trying to say it that the “no cars” viewpoint looks extremist only from our current angel.
Compare it to gun culture in the US. If you propose removing all guns people there will go crazy, but at the same time the people having guns where I live(Eastern Europe) are seen as a but strange and maybe a bit dangerous.
About the emergency I hate it is that way, I hope it gets better because that works only until both your parents can drive and that will not always be the case as you can see in my example.
Jack@slrpnk.netto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Another terrorist attack in Los Angeles. A man was intentionally hit head-on by a road-raging driver. The driver tried to hit him as hard as possible. English12·7 days agoI was meaning it in a much more lighthearted manner my dude.
My parents and grandparents are in the same position as yours, but you have to see the other side of this coin too. My grandpa was almost blind(had surgery is better now) and 80+. He has to drive because there is no other form of transportation. I love him with all my heart but this is not safe he knows it, we know it, but there is just no other option. This is what the “we need cars for remote villages” argument leads to.
About the ambulance argument, this is just fucked and I hope illegal in most places. And cars will do absolutely nothing to help there. If you are having a medical emergency the last thing you should be doing is drive yourself to the hospital.
Being in a place with half decent public transport should not be a privilege, but a right and we should treat it as infringement of that right to not have public transport.
Jack@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•China's Xi calls for 'proper handling of frictions' at tense summit with EU officialsEnglish5·8 days agoWhy are we (the EU) happy with 15% tariffs from the US when they just pulled them out of their ass?
Or was pegged by one and liked it a bit too much

Good
Jack@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•China Used ChatGPT to Grade 203 Energy Policies. It Didn’t Go WellEnglish8·11 days agoSure the only county that has the capability to separate itself from the global internet and possessing state of the art AI models will use fucking chatGPT…
Also the claim that LLMs have no politics shows that the author and the editor know nothing about how LLMs and politics work.
Edit: in my first paragraph I am wrongly assuming relation between the state and these researchers.
Jack@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli settlers beat U.S. citizen to death in West BankEnglish309·19 days agobeat to death
They still can’t bring themselves to even say kill…
In any other context this would be called inhumane execution or hate crime…
Jack@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•EU and Mexico criticise Trump's proposed 30% tariffEnglish201·19 days agoHe did play the absolute same hand with china and lost, if the EU backs down we will be the only ones to blame because we know how to win this.
15% tariffs means less demand in US -> Less demand means cheaper prices in EU.
Will that not decrease the market for US cars in EU because the EU cars will become cheaper? I may be missing something.
