These are my go to alongside more traditional sites like The Guardian

Good,let them go. They have all their wealth offshore and barely pay tax. They are the real scroungers and parasites.

I am really poor by UK standards, living on disability payments which are among the lowest in Europe. Sometimes I have to use the foodbank in winter. However, in summer I also donate to them and also give to local charities and homeless people. I know a lot of people say do not give directly to the homeless, but I think that is wrong.I have been homeless and found a community of folk just like everywhere else. Some do spend it all on drugs, but many more do not! It is not my place to judge.

I don’t think it is only techy nerds, I am a granny and much prefer Lemmy. I no longer feel nervous when posting here at all as people are polite and are actually interested in discussion rather than simply arguing. And the premise that there can never be only one person in control is refreshing.

It has,this is a land grab. Israel is creating hard infrastructure for a prolonged occupation and to create more settlements. They are quite open about it.

Asking them to take down stuff that is clearly false and can endanger people is not censorship.

A woke mob, aka a bunch of people who think everyone should be treated with decency and respect People who will make sure everyone is comfortable and included in their woke mob .

This is exellent advice.Write the number of a solicitor on your arm. Because if you are arrested and searched,they will often hold on to your bags and things found in pockets,so having the number written on your arm can help a lot.

Nearly 60 and a grandma.

Yes/ I am glad they are gone. This piece was so fascinating to me because their kind and their way of thinking is so alien to me. How, how can these brilliantly educate people not able to see what they have done to this country?

I saved this article by a Tory politician where he is wondering if they might be the bad guys. He nearly gets it, but then… Fascinating insight in how their minds work. Article: https://conservativehome.com/2024/06/23/are-we-the-baddies/

I read a lot of self-published stuff here https://www.royalroad.com/home

I would dial the clock back 35 years and fix my teeth. A tail would be nice too and a sot pelt and maybe cat ears to go with the tail.

I prefer to read Erotica :)

That is a creative way of diplomacy, but it won’t progress your cause very much.

Oh, magic is real, alright. I love science, but am also not very smart. I left school at 16. But despite that I have continued to follow and learn to the best of my abilities. And there have been so many things over the last 40 years but anything with the word quantum in it looks like black magic to me.

They said that last time it was a “tragic accident” so what was it this time?

It’s not just the memes.I used to hang out in several political and news subs and it is dire.

Yeah, I just finished reading and I don’t understand why the world is not acting. Why can Israel act with impunity. The Western nations have clearly shown that the rules are different for non-white people and that their lives are not as valuable. The hypocrisy is shameful. These are people with dreams and hopes just like us. The language used by the government, describing Palestinians as vermin and animals emboldens the settlers. There seem to be few repercussions for killing a Palestinian, if any. Israel keeps saying ups this was a mistake and ups we bulldozed entire villages and ups, a mass grave. They say they will investigate but when they do, they find no wrong doing or just a misdemeanour or an error. The whole situation is a clusterfuck, any other country would be sanctioned at the least, and ostracised. And why are the other Arab nations not helping Palestine more? I understand the situation is complicated, but there are many diplomatic measures to put pressure on Israel without getting involved in the fighting.
