I don't find that hard to believe at all. Humans are complex and the possible permutations are infinite.

If your burger comes wrapped in paper you should only open one end and peel the paper back as you eat. No mess. Same for souvlaki.

Trump makes bizarre comment as he’s bothered by fly on stage “See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer.” in c/politics@lemmy.world

Climate change increases the number of flies. I think he's talking about climate change. That's the only way I can make sense of this. The climate is changing rapidly and we can't take all the flies.

TIL talking about women's rights is racist.

Up until a couple of years ago I was completely unaware that gender is absolutely central and essential to most peoples identity and how they relate to others. It's wild.

Noone is talking about climate change. They're talking about shitty protest tactics and why they hate them.

So treating women like humans is optional for you. Got it.

Good. If people would actually stop buying all the crap assholes are selling we might make some progress.

Sad to say goodbye but she'll live forever in her performances and she had a good life. Coolest cat ever.

The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it. in c/technology@lemmy.world

A suicide bomber is not an explosive human but they are an exploding human.

Don't talk about the nazi's! People might get scared! Everthing is fine!

At no point did I claim they are in the majority.

go on pretending Andrew Tate represents the average American man. If you keep it up, you can scare enough women and young voters away from the polls to make a difference

How would that scare those who don't support him away from the polls? I would have thought it would be an incentive to vote? Assuming most women and young people do not support Andrew Tate.

Disgraced basketballer Tiny Pinder sentenced to eight years' prison over violent sexual assaults (www.abc.net.au)
 

Serial rapist given reduced sentence for having the cognitive level of a 14 year old boy. He has been a known rapist for decades but they will still let him out to do it again.

From wikipedia:

In 1976, Pinder was found guilty of unlawful carnal knowledge of a teenage girl in Miami, Florida. He was given five years probation.[21][22]

In 1992, Pinder faced charges of attempted sexual assault. He was convicted by the Western Australian Supreme Court and was sentenced to 18 months' jail.[23][24] In the following year he was also found guilty of raping a 23-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl; the three offences had occurred between 1988 and 1990.[21] In 1996, he was sentenced to five years' jail for sexual offences involving a 15-year-old girl.[25][26] In 2001, he was acquitted in the New South Wales District Court on a charge of raping a 19-year-old woman the previous year.[27] In 2013, he was arrested on a charge relating to an alleged rape in 1987. He was cleared in August 2016.[28]

In 2021, Pinder was arrested and charged with stalking a woman in Sydney. He was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment.[29] In April 2023, he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault that occurred in November 2009 and March 2021.[21] In March 2024, he was sentenced to eight years prison for the two assaults.[20]

Pinder was assaulted in prison in 2021 and 2023, requiring him to undergo CT and MRI scans for his injuries.

Is this really about a change to maritime fuels? I'm genuinely curious because the change is extreme.
