The article was very well written. Unfortunately, 90% of the people I’d forward it to would be TLDR…
Enjoying the great vista of the Fedisphere.

Except the bystander effect mentioned in the “original” Kitty case is not the same as a shocked “We’re here and what the fuck just happened in the last two seconds!?”.
I’ve been an eye witness, and it’s a serious difference between “a few seconds of something horrible happening” and “wtf, someone is doing prolonged horrible deeds and murdering someone”.
Year, maybe Ryan Air could do with a one-drink-per-seat limit, as the main issue is usually the passengers that get drunk ON the flight. Worst flights have been from the UK, Ireland and from Poland. Maybe Ryan Air could stop serving alcohol ON these flights?
Jokes aside, stop flying Ryan Air.
Fresh produce usually has bugs and larvae in it, and it can be hard to entirely get rid of when you serve huge amounts. I usually buy organic produce. Being disgusted with your food just because it might seem to have been from somewhere in nature… that is such a foreign concept to me. However , if they had maggots or larvae in food that shouldn’t have it naturally, that is seriously disgusting.
Made up stories… by the BBC? By the police? By the perpetrator?
Cows are big, strong and heavy, and docile dogs can also kill. Any kind of caution around things large or feisty enough to kill you is healthy.
Well, the standard recommended work hours would be 08-17 (8 AM to 5 PM), with one hour unpaid lunch, so 8 hours paid. And you can take those paid breaks, or even combine them with lunch. Most places (that don’t have shifts, scheduled appointments or aren’t school or health care related) allow for this kind of flexibility.
My current work place has 39 hours a week during the half year during or close to winter and around 37 hours during the summer or the months adjoining summer. Then again, most people tend to flex actual hours worked, e.g. working 4 hours on Monday and Friday, and working more hours during the same week or compensating for it later. But you HAVE to take at least 30 minutes of lunch, and the workplace tries to enforce the paid breaks as well. So some, like me, take an hour off for lunch, but use our half hour unpaid lunch and add on breaks 2x15 with pay (which is billed to our clients, as we’re legally entitled to). So I can show up anywhere between 06:30 and 11:00 (as long as I don’t have deadlines or meetings) and decide how I want to dispose the hours of my time on schedule.
And I get 7 weeks off, paid, every year. And pad it out with overtime so that I work maybe a week of overtime and get two weeks extra off for holidays.
Not all Nordic countries. The main standard work weeks in Sweden are 40 hours for office work employees. Our collective union agreements for most office work places I know of agree on at least half hour unpaid lunch and at least two 15 minute paid breaks each work day. Every place I worked for had flexible hours, which meant I could choose between turning up between 7 or 9, as long as I didn’t miss meetings and worked 40 hours a week at an average, based on monthly calculations. And any overtime was compensated with double time off and/or monetary overtime compensation.
This will of course be different for shift work or nurse/doctor positions. But I’ve never worked an 8-16 job.
Samsung who won’t even provide price estimates/quotes for reparation of utensils WITHIN WARRANTY without being paid $25 before hand. Their products suck that much.
Don’t conflate all pigeons/doves with rock pigeons. Or Turd/Musk.
Yeah, in my work I don’t even do a lot of 3D rendering, but 64 GB main RAM and at least 8 GB GPU RAM barely manage to cut it performance wise for the GIS and CAD systems we use.
Palestine instigated the fight? When, 1947 or 1948?
Hamas is not Palestine. Hamas is an extreme. But I guess the Polish (with support of allied troops) instigated the fight against WWII Germany as well post invasion.
Edit: and those damned Boy Scout troops in Poland were apparently so horrendous that they deserved being rounded up and massacred as well, those evil 8-17 year olds.
Surely you meant that Palestinians (and Palestine) are subjected to war crimes, aggression and attempts to extinguish nation, lineages and historical contexts? Similarly to Ukraine.
Yup, (non-slippery) chop sticks are the absolute best for most crisps or cheesey-sticky-powder related snacks.
Lacking chop sticks, wooden tooth picks or barbecue sticks will do in a pinch (or stab).

The Erasmus program enabled a lot of Britons to study abroad and widen their perspectives. I think it brought a whole lot of benefits to the UK, and while it obviously benefited almost every youth participating in it, I think that the UK as a whole probably benefited the most.
