Nobody wants to go to war with Putin. It’s a sad reality that Russia won’t stop with Ukraine.

This just in! Reality does not match the online content farms and why worry about the climate when there is nothing you can do about it. If you don’t have enough power to eat and slip with a roof over your head.

Nothing you can do about it?! Climate change must be the single issue where everyone can do something about it!

If you can barely afford to live you cannot really do anything outside trying to survive sadly.

While I was agree the problem is like the recycling paradox the industry told you to recycle. While they did nothing so you would blame your neighbor instead of them. That’s why most recycling is ether landfill anyway or shipped to a poor country. Nothing in recycling is standard and no body that has power cares.

The point was to blame yourself or your neighbors but not them cause look they created a recycling program. You must have just not sorted your paper and plastic enough. You could reduced every carbon including breathing your whole life and not offset 10 mins of carbon output of any of the fortune 100.

Everyone should do what they can but I think it should be prepositional to the amount your choices add carbon or plastic to the environment.

So with that said people with homeless and food on their mind don’t be a dick and litter but the rest you get a pass.

About the headline: “Yeah, no sh*t!”

It was difficult to pinpoint whether the article was about a very obvious observation, the fact that the UK is now simply dealing with the downfall of their economy (welcome to the rest of the world) or the fact that Gen Zs think they are somehow special and deserving of more attention than the other age groups.

Isn’t that the point of our current system? If everyone is too worried about surviving, they don’t have time to hold the ‘ruling’ class too account. Can’t take time off to protest, if you do it’s now illegal, can’t get work with a criminal record. The only real difference to slavery for a lot of people, is that sometimes they have choice in their masters.

Create post

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They’re cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: RT, news-pravda:com, GB News, Fox, Breitbart, Daily Caller, OAN, sociable:co, citjourno:com, brusselssignal:eu, europesays:com, geo-trends:eu, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to any of the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
