Holy shit, no wonder the empire is fucking dying.

So is dictatorships.
Wait? Is the current political leader allowed to just change how votes are counted for the next election?! Is this why the Wikipedia article for how election in England work is just incomprehensible garbage?
I can’t get over how insane it is that the sitting party gets to look at their polling numbers and decide if it’s a good time to have an election or not. I get why they are so insistent on keeping the monarchy because the rest of the system is kept together by tape and random bits of string
It’s not uglier than the other portraits in the set. Its really weird that she would object when she is sharing a wall with royalty.
It’s a catchy name and it was among the first examples of the effect in the internet era that amplified the effect many fold. There is no reason for me to know about Streisand’s house and there is no reason for me to know about this painting. I have only know about them because the internet exists.
Do you know how the competition works?
I did read the article. In the west with modern healthcare we routinely survive things that would have killed someone with worse healthcare. The article doesn’t discuss that. It just states that people died and what illness killed them.
I wonder if this is a case of the illness being lethal or the hospitals being bad.
The Nazis had some anti-Semitic propaganda posters with a kraken spreading its tentacles over the world.
Its hasn’t been a big deal until now and it’s mainly used to hit Palestina supporters because octopuses is really common and nobody knows it’s a dogwhiste.
If this was ever a legitimate concern from the Jewish community they would have brought it up whenever Hydra is featured in a marvel movie.

Swedish neonazis has the expression “Hell Seger” that is basically sieg heil. The spokesperson was slurring and she kept saying that it was nice with a helg seger (weekend victory). A sentence that doesn’t make sense grammatically the way she said it and it doesn’t make sense contextually because it was Sunday night and all elections are always Sunday night. She put up her arms when she said it in a way that wasn’t the salute but you could see her trying to figure out how close she could take it. It was the most obvious thing because she was drunk but they routinely have those kinds of problem.
One of the party leaders tried to beat up a guy with an iron pipe in broad daylight and he continues to be a high ranking member for almost a decade. The whole party is fucked up and they keep winning more votes.
Australia is basically there for fun. They aren’t allowed to be hosts if they win for example.
In the last election they did really well and at the after party one of the spokespeople got drunk and repeatedly tried to sneak in the Swedish version of sieg heil when national television interviewed her.
They are basically neo-nazis that learned to put on a suit and pretend that they are human.
Israels neighbours kept trying to murder them so Eurovision thought it would be a good idea to let them interact with other countries in a less aggressive way.
The reason they do it is because it increases clicks. The reason it grinds your gear is because it disrespects your time and attention for minor profit incentives.
You are right in one thing. In an all out war, some bits of Texas will reach space.
Shit. When you look at these pictures you almost forget what humans look like and start to miss really basic stuff.
I looked at the picture in the preview and thought, those are the smooth wrinkles that AI thinks old people have. Yup. He’s got 3 fingers and if you go to the site there is a disclaimer under the picture that isn’t visible on Lemmy. I’m sure that won’t be an obvious problem in the future.
I don’t know if this is the same but Sweden have a thing where you pay into a fund that helps victims of crimes. When a criminal gets convicted and has to pay a victim money, the state takes money out of the fund and pay the victim and then the fund tries to get the money from the criminal. This way it doesn’t become the victims problem that the criminal can’t pay.
