PrincessLeiasCat , to world in Climate change: Thousands of penguins die in Antarctic ice breakup

This seriously made me cry :(

ftothe3 , to worldnews in Drone video shows how perilous the situation was for those stranded in the Pakistan cable car

“The owner of the cable car company in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was later arrested by police on multiple charges including negligence and endangering valuable lives.”

… Are some some lives that aren’t valuable?

Astroturfed ,

From my knowledge of Pakistan, women or anyone not ethnically Pakistani. They would not be valuable lives.

Sharkwellington ,

…sheesh. 😬

SiyahGuraag ,

WOW, Your Ignorance and Discrimination amazes me. I myself am a Pakistani, and I have no love for it. But what you say is wrong. You’re saying No Woman’s life is valued in Pakistan? How can that even be possible? and it’s a bad place for women to be, there are definitely better places. It, however, is not as Black and White as your comment makes it out to be. It’s not like some barbarian country where Woman are raped, and Killed everyday, on the streets or something. I would also request you to educate yourself that Pakistani is not an ethnicity, it’s a nationality. Sindhi, Punjabi, Pashtun, and Baloch are some of the ethnicities found in Pakistan. So, you read one Negative News Headline, you’ve just made up your mind that Pakistan is full of savages and barbarians. Dear, sir, Please educate yourself, and don’t be so discriminationatory.

Astroturfed ,

So upset that I don’t love your xenophobic Islam based country…

SiyahGuraag ,

I have not met one person here that was Xenophobic towards foreigners. You seem to be Xenophobic, dude. You have this discriminationatory and a wrong image of a country and you don’t want to admit that you’re wrong. I also want to admit that I have no love for Pakistan, I hate Pakistan, because I know it’s rulers’ evil doings and corruption. You seem to think that every common person living in Pakistan is a Barbarian, and hates women. Please, educate yourself. Why the FUCK would I be upset? Fuck Pakistan, there I said it. I care not one bit for Pakistan as a country. I just don’t want people on Lemmy to have a negative image of a country without knowing anything about it.

Astroturfed ,

So, you admit it’s horrible and are mad because other people know that? Weird opinion.

SiyahGuraag ,

You’re a hateful person, Sir. Please seek help. No one hates women here. The average Pakistani, whether or not Literate, doesn’t hate women and values their lives. Islam has nothing to do with this. I know in what aspects it is horrible. You think we’re savages, don’t you? You’re a hateful person, and it is hurting my brain to know that people like you exist. Funny how you think we’re Xenophobic, yet you think we’re savages. WOW, Seek Help and Education.

Astroturfed ,

So sorry I rustled your jimmies with reality.

lol holy shit there it is. get a fucking grip, dude.

Maybe it’s just poor wording that implies life in general is valuable?

seapat , to worldnews in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

But did the plane have windows?

pingveno ,

No, it was running Linux.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Then it wouldn’t have crashed.

Probably running Windows Embedded and went for an update. An hour is long time to wait to get flight control back.

emergencyfood ,

Now I wonder, what happens if an aircraft or control tower is running Windows 10 and it decides to update mid-flight?

420blazeit69 ,

That’s how you know it didn’t just crash

pingveno ,

Exactly!

Honytawk ,

It never took flight in the first place because a repository was incompatible with an other one, so they had to purge everything before they could commence.

Kernel Panic!

loz ,

Probably had an Nvidia card.

chahk ,

It crashed, so of course it ran Windows.

Uniquitous , to news in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

Surprised it took this long, honestly.

akp ,

I said the same thing to coworkers when they mentioned this

InvertedParallax , to world in Ukrainian drone destroys Russian supersonic bomber

I have never seen a post more needy of the NSFW tag in my life.

I am now trapped at my desk, potentially for hours, I may have to call an ambulance, priapism is a serious medical condition!

America moment

BackOnMyBS ,
@BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world avatar

yeah, I could totally see myself doing this in my younger years.

When I was visiting Austin, TX one time, my friend and I were headed back home in the crowds after the bars closed. We saw some dude passed out on the grass, so we woke him up to see if he was okay. Turned out, he was some Irish tourist that got drunk, lost his friends, and didn’t know where he was, so he went to sleep to sober up. We took him with us, got him some Whataburger, then took him home. I still have pictures that we took with him. People get drunk and easily confused in a foreign country. I get that the Eiffel Tower is under high scrutiny because of the bomb scares, but drunk tourist having a blast and then getting lost is normal. It’s not like he assaulted anyone. I don’t see why this has to be “world news”.

Pretty sure there is a bigger reason for BBC to make this

Still waiting for a special counsel to investigate Don jr, Ivanka, Jared, and “I’m Eric”.

No no no. They are Dear Leaders kids.

No touche.

Garland didn’t even go after Trump for the Obstruction charges from the Mueller report.

Garland is acting like a Trump stooge.

FREEDUMBABY!1!111!!! This proves there is no freedom of speech in USA, as much as westoids scream about western neoliberal democrazy and freedums. 5 minutes later these westoids would be screaming about how China and Russia are bad.

Oh no….anyways.

lvxferre , to world in Italian man crushed to death under falling cheese wheels
@lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

I feel sorry for the guy. To be crushed by multiple 40kg blocks of anything isn’t funny.

On a lighter side: one of the reasons that people prepare those traditional cheeses is out of love. Death is death but at least he died doing something that he likely enjoyed - cheeses, that bring joy to families out there, having their meals. May he rest in peace.

furrious09 , to worldnews in Simon & Schuster: Publisher to be sold for $1.6bn

I just recently read an article about Overdrive and KKR, the company that bought both Overdrive and now this publisher. It was a really disheartening read for what’s happening in the books market.

Article: …substack.com/…/the-coming-enshittification-of-pu…

KKR is also the company that bought out Toys R Us, and we know how that ended.

the_kalash , to worldnews in Lizzo accused of sexual harassment and weight-shaming

The singer is also accused of fat-shaming

That’s like the vantablack pot calling the kettle black.

MargotRobbie , to fediverse in The BBC on Mastodon: experimenting with distributed and decentralised social media
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

It’s risk mitigation on their part to not have their platform controlled by somebody else, especially someone with an agenda like Elon Musk.

Would like to see them set up a Lemmy instance as well.

And of course, it’s always good to get in these things early, but not too early in case things don’t work out.

cerevant ,

Federation is the future of social media for exactly this reason, especially in the twitter-like realm where who is saying it is as (or more) important than what is being said. These people and organizations need to control their brand outside the scope of commercial pressure from the platform.

@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

especially in the twitter-like realm where who is saying it is as (or more) important than what is being said.

I know right? So great to be in a place where nobody cares who you are. Gets tiring.

It’s nice to just not stand out and be accepted as a normal member of a community.

This is morbidly fascinating. Also extremely good pictures.

What's the point of Jesus' blood covering all sins if you've got nothing to cover-up?
