ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•‘Not something to celebrate': As it turns 80 and faces dwindling global clout, can the UN survive?English1·3 days agoThere hasn’t been direct conflict between powers since it was created, so I’d say you’re wrong. Think we’re far more tense in the cold war era than now.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•‘Not something to celebrate': As it turns 80 and faces dwindling global clout, can the UN survive?English38·6 days agoThe UN has largely worked as intended, even now. It’s purpose is to allow the world powers to peacefully interact with each other and control everyone else.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•Metal storm on a budgetEnglish4·7 days agoIt lets the pencil stay the same length and not need a sharpener.
Germany was actively trying to get some level of control over middle east oil during the war. Their failure to secure reliable and plentiful oil is a big reason they lost. The campaigns in north Africa were largely about control of Egypt and the Suez canal. Part of the invasion to Soviet lands was also opening a route to the middle east.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I hear a lot of "ACAB", why don't I hear "APAB"? (P as in Politician)2·7 days agoIn the US, school boards and superintendents are a common source of political corruption. Many states allow for local control of districts, so these boards oversee the spending of tens or even hundreds of millions of local tax dollars and government grants.
In a world where the axis won, they would have taken a sizable portion of the middle east to secure oil for the war, so the region would look very different.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If one were so inclined, could you take your plot of land, parcel it up into 1-meter-squared (or smaller) sections, and sell each of those sections to different people/companies?8·8 days agoNo you can’t really do it. The government isn’t going to allow you to divide a plot into that many tiny ones. What you could do is have a company buy the land and sell lifetime leases for small parts.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How often do thieves (and identity thieves) actually get caught and served justice? Are there actual examples of law enforcement actually doing anything? (Because I think most cops are just lazy)9·10 days agoTheft really depends on who the victim was or what was stolen. Most the time cops won’t do shit, unless there’s tons of easy evidence pointing to someone. For Identity theft, it’s probably even less common, unless it’s a relative or someone you know.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Argentina inflation tumbles to five-year-low 1.5% in boost for MileiEnglish5·10 days agoThis is becoming a really good case study for austerity working. Argentina still isn’t great, but they were bordering on hyperinflation and are now stablizing.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogynyEnglish21·10 days agoIt’s the same in female fields, it’s not just prestige. Men face increased scrutiny when working with children. Male nurses are expected to perform the more physical parts of the job almost exclusively.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?76·12 days agoThis is a great solution but it has two big problems that make it functionally impossible.
- To the left there is no non-toxic or positive masculinity.
- Feminism doesn’t actually support men, it’s a reluctant talking point. It only helps men if it happens to coincide with benefiting women.

- appraisal was basically a bribe for any number you wanted.
- no document loans were far more available for anyone.
- mortgages had no real chain of custody after sale.
- there wasn’t any real way to verify the risk of a mortgage security pre 2008.
- variable rates didn’t have lifetime caps on rates, and reporting the details of how they functioned weren’t required.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•EU resurrects banking practice that caused the 2008 financial crisisEnglish1·13 days agoNo, it’s like saying fire extinguishers are bad because someone replaced the real ones with gag ones in a building that burned down.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Majority of Australians think China will be world’s most powerful country by 2035, poll findsEnglish12·14 days agoChina is slowly transitioning from a developing country, but it’s a slow process as new agreements are signed and old ones expire.
NA and EU wouldn’t be a rounding error, China wouldn’t magically be more powerful than everyone else combined. The EU can already make the US and it’s companies make concessions, that wouldn’t change with China replacing the US.
As far as emissions China already hit the point they couldn’t ignore it. That’s why they are rolling out so much solar and nuclear, the Internet being flooded with pictures of absurdly bad smog already forced that issue.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Majority of Australians think China will be world’s most powerful country by 2035, poll findsEnglish13·14 days agoGlobal power doesn’t tend to be a peaceful transition though. If China does make a play to become the dominant force by then, it’s bad news for everyone living right now.
There are benefits China has that will go away as they transition, which could also cause them to stumble. No longer being considered a developing nation, any poverty will be 100% on them to fix, international agreements will expect them to contribute instead of receiving, emissions will be more heavily scrutinized. Other countries will not be a tolerant about the rampant IP theft and extreme protectionism of their domestic markets.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Now we are six: G7 leaders try to salvage their summit after Trump's early exitEnglish316·14 days agoLike most international groups of the doesn’t commit resources to it, their effective reach is greatly diminished. We saw this with Libya, without us fuel and munitions most jets would be grounded in about a week.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your fav Nicolas Cage film and why?161·17 days agoKickass is the best surprise nic cage film.
Lord of war is the best serious cage.
Bangkok dangerous is the most cage being cage film.
I’m pretty sure that last decade or so has shown that Europe doesn’t spend enough. It’s not just Russia’s invasion. Military action in Libya was reliant on the US to sustain more than a few days of action.
