The long and short of WW1 was a bunch of inbred cousin monarchs were bickering about territories during the height of colonialism, and factioned up. One thought another country killed one of their Dukes, they denied it, were attacked anyhow, and then a barfight turned into a brawl, with the peons of each country being run into grinding machines (automatic machine guns were brand new and at the time old school block and line formations were still the normal way to group up and fight. So yeah, hundreds killed in seconds). After a few hundred thousand were dead from all over the world, the inbred officers realized war strategy had to change, and no one really knew wtf to do for awhile. More died, disease spread and killed even more, and eventually almost all blame fell to Germany (which was new and formed from various countries), and Germany got kinda punished unfairly, resulting in WW2 as Germans felt like they were punished so unfairly everyone else should pay. Very short version. Also Israel was formed at this time based on a whole shitload of reasons, that can be summed up with the British being narcissistic and doing whatever they thought was best while ignoring the political/religious minefield of their actions.

Cut it all into cubes, steam everything or fry it. Eat. Leaves, too if you grew it yourself. Just eat it. It’ll give you the farts but it’s all delicious.
It’s amazing to me the strides in medicine that have helped reduce the deaths associated with HIV in such a short time. I remember that shit was like a 1 to 2 year mortality rate, and people are now able to live much much longer.
I mean, I doubt many people thought that a failed and then successful attempt on Ferdinand would result in thousands of men playing with new killing machines against dated formation ranks but it ended up there regardless (WW2 was gonna happen, and everyone knew it, it was just a matter of when)
Roe v Wade will never change, calm down libs. The climate isn’t changing, calm down libs. Project 2025 isn’t real, calm down libs. Our economy will get better, calm down libs. Our government will follow the law, not break every law so fast the courts can’t keep up, calm down libs. Maybe, just maybe, instead of just acting so blaise and dismissive over Liberal thoughts and opinions, and attempting to perpetuate this stupid game of “owning the libs” you actually listen and think critically. Liberals may not have all the answers, and maybe their beliefs don’t fully align with yours, but this country used to operate on a few core ethics and beliefs, but saying “calm down libs” like it’s a goddamn video game and keeping score is just putting us further into a shithole. So use your head, come up with some formal argument and supporting statements, and stop playing the fucking game and use your brain to fix the machine instead (or at the very least, step aside, drop the pompoms and stop playing cheerleader for the people who keep fucking shit up).

unphazed@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump Nobel Peace Prize nomination withdrawnEnglish16·23 hours agoYeah, I had the tiniest bit of faith in the Anti Defamation League, but after they called Musk’s stunt fair game I realized pockets of money could even buy ethics groups. From here on out, unless a group manages to zero its profits or earnings by the end of the year, they’re untrustworthy.

unphazed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackersEnglish41·2 days agoNot really. Most people around the world are pretty much in the same boat. The “leaders” of governments try to propagandize differences, but everyone is living the same shitty existence. Elites vs poors across the globe. Occasionally you get groups that are extremely radical, but it’s not specific really to any country (We see a lot of out of the ME and Africa mostly due to prolonged Colonial abuse, admittedly.)

They literally have no one now to pick up the produce. Waiting on farms to start pick your own systems like blueberry farms.
