FlyingSquid , to world in Tensions grow as 160 tonnes of Ukrainian grain sabotaged in Poland
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

What on Earth does this achieve?

Madison420 ,

Raising grain prices so conglomerates can fix the prices higher then the market dictates generally.

It’ll work, of anything pushes the conflict to an end of when other countries start being unavoidably effected.

If the Ukrainian grain is destroyed they’ll need to eat Polish grain.

Similarly, isn’t there some kind of relationship between the slice pizza and the cost of a subway ride in NYC?

afraid_of_zombies ,

I have noticed both going up. I miss it when I could take the family to a diner once every two weeks and have family breakfast. Last time we did that the bill was 50 dollars. I can’t justify that kinda cost. By the looks of the restaurants in my area other people are deciding the same way.

Buffalox , to world in Fears over €10 kebabs go all the way to German parliament

warnings from some quarters that the dish will soon cost more than €10 a serving. Hanna Steinmüller, an MP for the Greens, raised the issue after she was approached by anxious members of a frisbee youth club

What the fuck am I reading here? That does not sound like very reliable sources. It sounds more like complete bullshit.

DarkThoughts ,

I don't know from where they got the frisbee club thingy but it's real and I don't see why you'd think it isn't.

Buffalox ,

?? So you are saying a kebab is ALREADY €10 Euro, or are you saying that you too fear that it will soon be?
Nobody denies rising cost of living in general, but that’s not what the article is about.

barsoap ,

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s already 10 Euros in some places. E.g. my town is notorious for not having cheap options, every single place has good meat, not only are none trying to get away with selling Hackfleischspieß as Döner, none of them use any ground meat at all (by law, a Döner skewer can’t contain stabilisers which severely limits the amount of ground meat you can include before it falls apart).

Eight Euros are pretty much standard here. Just under 10 if you want a Lahmacun Döner, and my town isn’t the poshest, by far – we just have good taste in Döner and one very old shop which always made their own skewers, own spice mix, own everything, which set the standard.

Try to get the same stuff in Westerland and I wouldn’t be surprise if it costs 15 Euros.

Buffalox ,

Really? Is that normal Kebab size in pita bread, or the bigger variant in rolls? Because that sounds crazy expensive even here, and I’m from Denmark, the 2nd most expensive country in Europe after Norway AFAIK.

barsoap ,

Pide and Dürum tend to be equal size and generally also cost the same. Lahmacun tend to be bigger than Dürum in the first place and then you have extra meat on there, no wonder it costs more you’re putting a Döner in something that’s already a proper Pizza.

And, as said: It’s actually good meat. If you want bad meat go to McDonalds.

Buffalox ,

OK it’s apparently been a while since I last bought Kebab or Shawarma which is more common here in Copenhagen, but AFAIK the same thing. I just checked the prices, and they are already €8-10 here!
20 years ago they were only €2 on Nørrebrogade which had super steep competition, and they were crazy good, I’ve only gotten good quality meat here too. Crazy that it’s so expensive now?!

Nope, you can’t. Unless you inherit some substantial sum, choose the very cheapest place or you aren’t in the top 5-10% of earners with a wife/spouse also earning equally good and with no children

Im pretty confident about that.

Me and my wife earn quiet a lot, we have 150K+ in savings but it still was not the right one there on the market and right now we are not yet ready to make any compromises.

BrianTheFirst , to news in Mass shooting in the center of Prague: 15 deaths confirmed

Lots of talk about them allowing guns, as if that's what caused this, but let's look at the big picture..

Nurse_Robot ,

Countries that allow guns have massively more gun deaths, that shouldn’t be surprising

Edit: it’s worth noting that the US has had more mass shootings this year than the entire history of Europe apparently, according to that list.

YoorWeb ,

According to that list? Mass shootings in Europe are extremely rare.

Nurse_Robot ,

I’m not arguing that fact, my point is just that more guns will always result in more mass shootings. Guns should not be a right.

BrianTheFirst ,

guns will always result in more mass shootings

Then why aren't there any other mass shootings in the Czech Republic?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Considering that mass shootings aren’t a common thing in the Western world as a whole, that isn’t really relevant. One is more than most countries in the West have had in decades.

Borovicka ,

There were 2 others in the last decade or so

BrianTheFirst ,

Absolutely. I just think that it's silly to draw attention to guns being easily attainable in this context, when there have been so many more mass shootings in other European countries.

thoughtorgan ,

Guns don’t kill people

maryjayjay ,

You are correct. People kill people. With guns

thoughtorgan ,

So guns aren’t the problem.

maynarkh ,

The timeline for the shootings seems like it’s that economic fuckery and downturns precede upticks in shootings. It is very alarming that there has been three of them this year.

Aqarius ,

Four. The “Serbia” entry is two shootings.

    Gamers_Mate , to news in Agencies warn of ‘apocalyptic’ situation in southern Gaza as half of population go hungry

    It feels like all the news articles are intentionally avoiding the word Genocide.
    Are there any good ones that actually use the word when they describe what is going on?

    OldWoodFrame , to news in Agencies warn of ‘apocalyptic’ situation in southern Gaza as half of population go hungry

    How many world religions say the apocalypse starts in Palestine? Only 3 right? We’re fine.

    Hyperreality , (edited )

    Only the infidel religions.

    This is probably just Set sexually assaulting Horus again, and Horus catching his semen and wiping it on some lettuce, which we all know is Set's favourite.* Things should calm down when they've settled it with a boat race, like they did last time.

    Perfectly reasonable explanation. Not like these newer religions. Some of them claim to eat the flesh and drink the blood of their God, then sing songs about it. Or they're huge fans of cutting bits off boys' penises. Cannibalistic creeps and weirdos. Keep fighting with each other about their favourite demi-god. Why anyone takes them seriously is beyond me.

    If only Loki could show up, transform in a female horse, and let the male horse from the other side fuck him and impregnate him…then we could all Sleipnir better at night.

    PhlubbaDubba ,

    Technically none of them

    The battle of Armageddon is one of those things that gets floated in abrahamic circles but isn’t really textually supported, mostly because it’s a prophecy that entered them from the outside, the prophecy originates in the aftermath of an especially gruesome battle fought between the Hittites and Egyptians. It was so brutal that the locals began saying that the next time something like that happened it would be the end of the world and the “prophecy” just spiraled from there.

    It’s like the antichrist, yes some theological text is out there on the subject, yes there may be some vague “prophecies” about it, but if someone is significantly invested in it pertaining to near future events, they’re either a lunatic or someone who’s learned to make a steady living off the backs of lunatics.

    They’re literally just death cultists, and I don’t mean like the fictionalised trope of worshippers of archliches and what not, I mean they worship the day of all ends and especially worship the notion that it will come soon and let them point and laugh at all the people who actually went about living in virtue regardless of if it would or wouldn’t happen, as the fucking book it’s loosely atested in intends for you to do.

    I swear to god there is nothing more destructive you can bake into a religion or ideology than some vision of a prophetic future day of great upheaval and vindication, because then the adherents will develop a cancer of inactivity in doing the good work because, “hey, the day of prophecy is coming any day now! Why waste all this effort on building a world where it isn’t needed?”

    roastedDeflator ,

    To my understanding what you say gives an explanation on how these "prophecies" came to be and a very interesting analysis on death cultists. It is a comment that doesn't explain the statement:

    Technically none of them

    Within the bible (admittedly I am familiar with this text only, out of the three of) the apocalypse starts in the area, and for very good reasons since they all originated in West Asia. Of course we can argue for ages about toponyms and interpretations but technically you can find these relevant verses in the bible (if I remember correctly book of Ezekiel, Isaiah - please don't make me double-check lol).

    Rapidcreek OP , to news in Iran tells Hamas it will not enter the war with Israel

    Dark Brandon’s message to Iran seemed to have worked.

    “Don’t.”

    jmcs , (edited )

    I don’t think Iran needed Dark Brandon to remind them a direct conflict with Israel would be a stupid risk for them. Iran’s strategy was always to use proxy groups to attack Israel even when Israel attacked Iranian territory. If they won’t start a war as a response to a direct aggression it’s pretty obvious they would never risk themselves trying to save what they see as disposable tools¹.

    ¹ if you disagree with this assessment, look at who contributes more foreign aid for Palestine, even when accounting for the donor’s GDP

    Krauerking , to world in Open source intelligence suggests rocket was launched by Palestinian group, backing up Israel's claims

    Yeah the original claims seemed as likely to be true as all the times that terrorists fought to take credit for disasasters that didn’t involve them. It’s quick easy points in fast moving propaganda campaigns. That being said I have seen this fricking twitter thread of internet sleuths used like 4 times and called different things and we keep passing around the same short clip and the complete nonsense arguments.

    No I don’t think anyone can say anything about this other than a hospital in gaza was partially blown up like many others and people are still suffering while aid is being kept at arms length from the victims. That’s the real story and I don’t care who did it until real intelligence has something to say on the matter.
