  • Why is Germany so prevalent on Lemmy?

  • Depends on the age group imo.

    I think the people who experienced internet from ca. 2005-2015 will have the best English on average. Because in this time English was simply necessary to get a grip on a lot of media, games, websites... Now a lot of things are translated, sometimes by force (youtube, reddit...) and with bad auto-translation. Also German content creators became much more widespread since 2015, so now people might never need to look past their language horizon.

    Of course the dates and statements aren't absolutes, just general observations.

  • Funniest part is: they can't even agree internally on how to believe

  • I dont think any Christian who has a sliver of religious education considers the bible to be the word of God. For starters some of the Gospels that are canon already start with an explanation that this is a recollected account. Then there is other chapters like the letters to the Romans and so on. As for the Torah it is also clear that it is containing some revelations but also a lot of interpretation and chronicles.

    This is fundamentally different to the Quran, which we Muslims believe to be the word of God as revealed to the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) and preserved in full and in the original Arabic language. Also Muslims are obliged to treat Christians and Jews (people of the book) kindly and respectfully, unless persecuted or attacked by them.

  • I recommend you to do the switch now. Linux is more accessible than ever and there is no reason to give them any more of your data. Also it helps you to transition step by step where it might take a bit longer to get used to a different way of doing things.

  • Randos destroy evidence, botch data gathering, beat up civilians and witnesses and perpetrators alike, and generally complicate things.

    This assumes the necessity to abide by some sort of more or less legal process by the cops. Once this requirement goes out the window entirely the only question is whether the randos might shoot the wrong people. Otherwise they will be welcomed. Also consider that riot police, patrol runners and other enforcers are a different bunch from investigators, with the investigators being the more educated minority among cops to begin with.

  • And in 10 years we will need 128GB RAM in every computer just to load a website that could have been 1MB of html and embedded images in a browser using 256MB of RAM.

    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

    Jump

  • Bro, your institutions are captured. Yes they run society still, but they run it against the people who are supposedly to be protected by them. This is why fascist takeovers start with the institutions and then the institutions keep running, giving formal "legitimacy" to the crimes of the fascists. Nazi Germany did everything legal in Nazi Germany. Opposing Nazi Germany was criminal in Nazi Germany and against the institutions of Nazi Germany. But it was the right fucking thing to do.

  • If she has a lawsuit i would be happy to bolster her legal fund and i am sure many other people too.

  • "We cant stop selling to war criminals. They are among our biggest customers."

    Sounds more like a company that needs to be dismantled and have their leadership face prison sentences. Given the size of Microsoft they could take the hit economically w.o. much hassle. They dont have to be evil. They want to be evil. And we need to punish them for it by boycotting their shit as much as possible.

  • US bans government personnel in China from romantic or sexual relations with Chinese citizens

  • Same goes for "allied" countries. Since Snowden revealed how the US spied on their "allies" even in the most hideous ways, it should be clear that "allies" dont exist in spycraft.

  • Trump tells UK to buy chlorinated chicken from US if it wants tariff relief

    Jump

  • I agree. I think there is better arguments to be made for that though. More interesting than short term health effects would be health effects from long term exposure. Rather than just stating the presence of Bacteria, spread of diseases like "Bird flu" that could also infect humans or the building of multi-resistant Bacteria in industrial farming is more relevant than the presence of Salmonella, which is quite prevalent in chicken, even under good farming practices.

  • I think we should not overinterpret this. Lets walk through it backwards.

    5% of your body weight in chicken in one day? Assuming you are a small thin person of 55 kg. That means you would need to eat around 2.9 kg of chicken in a day. If you were a 80kg tall person, you'd be looking at eating 4 kg of chicken in a day. Neither is realistic imo.

    Now antibiotic resistance bacteria definetly is an issue.

    As for harmful bacteria including Salmonella... Unless there is data to compare with from other countries that does not mean much in itself. Raw chicken is notorious for giving food poisioning and being much more dangerous in that regard than raw beef, pork, or even fresh fish. I got a very bad food poisoning from undercooked chicken not to long ago and that was in the EU.

    Doesn't mean that US farming practices aren't much worse than most EU standards (if enforced), but these metrics mentioned by themselves are not the best indicators for that.

  • Obligatory reminder that Belgium has a unresolved problem with a pedophile ring raping and murdering children with impunity, enjoying protection and likely having direct involvement of the highest ranks of politics, police and judiciary.

  • One acts like a 'Know it all' and the other 'wants to learn it all'

  • I strongly recommend you to see the video i have linked. The maker is a former anti-theist who has learned how hateful and discriminatory this kind of thinking was and how prominent proponents of this thinking went on to apply the same attacks on "wokeness" and are now part of the Trump side of US politics.

    If you cannot think of religious people as normal people, whose characters and life situations cover the entire spectrum of human life, that is problematic. Referring to people as "victims" because they dont share the same convictions as you do, is marginalizing them and a convienent escape as you don't have to intellectually engage with their position. In such "Anti-Theists" fall into the same pitfalls they accuse religious people off, by not only declaring their own convictions as the ultimate truth, but marginalizing everyone who does not share the same convictions.

    And that is where "Anti-Theism" leads to "Anti-Wokeness" for many prominent proponents of it. Please watch the video, as it explains that much better and in detail.

  • I've met a scholar who joked that these days you are called a Hafiz, if you memorize the entire Quran. During history many scholars referred to as Hafiz also memorized a hundred thousand Hadith (reports about the life of the Prophet Mohamed sas) or more.

    It is really crazy how strong many peoples convictions about Islam are, with how little they usually now about Islam outside of the hate filled propaganda they have been fed for the past decades in many western countries.

  • In my experience, these benign people are one tragedy away from metastasizing into the malignant religious type.

    This kind of thinking and language is also used by a variety of "Anti-Theists" talking about the "Woke mind virus" and working together with current US fascism.

    Talking about people as "diseases" is a pretty good indicator of Fascist ideology and you might be more entangled by it than you think.

  • Things feel weird, strange or unnatural because they go against instinctive feelings.

    As for why they are more likely to go wrong it is quite simple. Two teenagers are more trouble than one teenager. Especially if they are in competition with each other. Jealousy is a key driver for violence and young men are the demographic generally most violent. These are things that you know subconsciously, as you have most likely experienced them yourself. As for negative experience with men and in particular men seeking sexual contact i think every women will be able to confirm danger and or having experienced abuse themselves. Now you have two rabbit-horny high on testosterone teenagers that have to "share" one teenage girl. This should cause an instinctive negative reaction by every parent.

    As for studies which analyzed the situation where one men has multiple women concluded that these relationships negatively affect the women and their children psychologically.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8667458/

    Now this of course is different compared to a situation where one women has multiple men. A situation which seems to be much less prevalent and i couldnt find studies on quickly. As to why they are much less prevalent, this gives reason for even more worry. There is reason to believe them to be less stable and likely end up with violence, where women on average a physically much less stronger than men.
