Godric OP , to worldnews in China youth unemployment hits high as recovery falters

Youth unemployment of over 20%, let’s hope they can improve those numbers, that’s pretty grim.

"Morality police " rapists and co come up with the fanciest names for themselves.

anakaine ,

It’s time for organised Iranians to start making Basijis disappear.

Lemmylaugh , to news in Russia seizes control of Danone and Carlsberg operations

How does this practically work? Russia fires all the executives, replaces them with their own and redirect the profits? No impact to the remaining employees?

Hazdaz ,

Probably something like that. Heck, probably most of the local executives are Russian, so they were probably in on the government take over. Now they are running the company for Putin. Danone and Carlsberg deserves to have their operations taken over since they decided to continue to run their business in that company.

Yeah, but how many dogs did he start out with?

CeruleanRuin ,

Zero. That’s the really weird part.

_cerpin_taxt_ , to world in Iran's morality police to resume headscarf patrols

Hopefully they protest even harder now, but we’ll see.

Socialphilosopher ,

In the end, they could be executed. It won’t be easy.

_cerpin_taxt_ ,

Isn’t that why the protests started in the first place? A girl was beat to death by them? I don’t see what they’ve got to lose.

Distant_Foreground ,

They could be executed themselves. The stakes are very high.

cybervseas , to worldnews in Canada wildfires: Second firefighter dies amid record blazes

So far this season, the fires have burned more than 10m hectares (24.7m acres) of land

I have no ability to understand this much area so I looked around. That is approximately the same size as:

  • Maine
  • Portugal
  • South Korea

Wow.

Rayspekt , to world in Iran's morality police to resume headscarf patrols

Dumb question, but the headscarf's purpose is to cover the women's hair, right? So what if all protesting women go bald to piss the religious guys off, would that work?

bobman ,

I guarantee you, they’ll think it’s a dumb question because the abusers will just attack any women who shaves her head. They don’t actually care.

It will take solidarity among the Iranian people or outside intervention to fix these problems. Unfortunately, a lot of Iranian women are also rewarding the men who do this with sex.

electrogamerman ,

And that’s what religion does.

Froody , to world in Iran's morality police to resume headscarf patrols

Religion.what a fucking joke.

As my dad once said to me years ago "if you don't pull out you deserve whatever happens next"

Bread , to worldnews in Australian sailor and his dog survive two months at sea

Sounds like a nice break

Aurenkin ,

Damn dude, hope you’re doing ok. Things don’t sound great if being stranded at sea sounds like a better time.

original_reader , to worldnews in Russia seizes control of Danone and Carlsberg operations

Should have gotten out when you had the chance.

Buffalox , to world in Iran's morality police to resume headscarf patrols

Religion is perfect for making normal people act like a bunch of sociopaths.

You gotta source that quote, fam. I wanna know ^^

Lucius Annaeus Seneca. All it took was copying the line into Google. I’m surprised how often people forget that they can do this.

orphiebaby ,
@orphiebaby@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but have you tried Googling that “quote” supposedly from Madonna?

Art3sian ,
@Art3sian@lemmy.world avatar

I was hoping you guys might think I was clever enough to come up with it.

Religion is exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.

Religion is exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.

(most forms of) Religion is constructed to be exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.

FTFY

ZombieZookeeper , to world in Iran's morality police to resume headscarf patrols

Since Iranian men can’t control themselves, women have to cover up.

GeoGio7 ,

A lot of the protesters were also men. Several of them had been shot and killed

OtakuAltair ,

Blame the oppressive government and religion, not the people. They’re the victims.
