Sure, at this rate Kiev will be occupied in 120 years. Then the real fighting will start.

Barred? By whom? Really, when will the states wake up and figure out there is no "adult" in the wings that will enforce norms.

Those 30% are ether delusional or being polite.

The stock market is delaminated from the real market, and has been for a while.

How this has happened is not simple but a short version is that as the stock market has evolved it became a key place to put assets with a level of growth expectation. As time goes on the demand for a place for investment without effort (starting your own business vs investing in a businesses stock) keeps getting larger and the alternatives keep getting less desirable (bonds, GICs, etc.) causing a sort of investment feedback loop. There is X amount of money that needs to be invested each year lets say, and if every thing is crashing (waves at the general state of things) it means nothing is since pensions, people and firms still need to have that investment somewhere.

As long as there is still some expectation of return and faith in the current stock market you will have investment and as stocks (and therefor the market) are measured by the demand (the buy vs the sell) we have the current situation. If you want to see what happens when a stock market looses people's faith and therefor investment look at China's stock market crash https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%932016_Chinese_stock_market_turbulence

Is that the "US" propaganda you are accusing people of spreading? Really, from a place called "moon of alabama"?

Come on now. When the hell did anyone bring up foreign volunteers at all? I mean its just silly to say North Korea is not involved in combat when they themselves and everyone else say they are.

Here’s who makes up you gullible simpletons think.

What does this even come close to meaning?

"seeing" and "imbecilic" an odd mistake to make if you are not playing dumb.

This is what our so free democratic leaders choose for us.

Wait, lemmy has elections? We have leaders?

Wait, lemmy is "news"?

I have to block those, there is no satisfaction in ridiculing them since they are too stupid to see how they humiliate themselves. The rest I enjoy tremendously, watching them seethe when they lose an argument and their little mask falls of revieling that behind the mask of imagined pseudo-moral superiority hides a little nasty fascist doing nothing more than gruntwork for the evil imperialist US regime. That is all. Death to America!!!

I mean that is quite the statement, I take offence about the part where you apparently win any argument.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote a letter asking Google to reject the U.S. decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America on its mapping service.

 

I remember reading that the US fought a whole ass revolutionary war over this sort of thing. This has been 7 years of fight for these people.

“When police—including the FBI—raid the wrong house, they must be held responsible for the damages,” said IJ Senior Attorney Anya Bidwell. “The 11th Circuit let the government off the hook in this case, and we are hopeful that the Supreme Court will do the right thing and ensure that Americans can feel secure in their own homes.”

 
 

Prompt is the title in the Bingilator.

More bananas:

 

Some of my recent attempts that did not work out.

 

Just thinking of the poor sods that are going to be working today (and all night).

Oh and more pics since the bingilator is not without its randomness.

 

Prompt in the bingilator was:

"Sailor moon is a person made out of smaller pumpkins smiling on a porch while carving a pumpkin"

More (some even might be possible) pumpkins:

 

More Halloween moons.

Prompt was "Sailor moon as Johnny from the shining" in the bingilator (simple yet effective)

All work and no play makes for more pictures:

 

For Halloween moon.

Prompt in the Bingilator was: "Doom 2016 cover art with sailor moon as the main character the doom slayer. In the style of mick gordon"

Historically, China’s government influenced family planning, enforcing the one-child policy. This policy involved harsh fines and forced abortions. Today, the focus has shifted, encouraging families to have more children. As China faces an aging population, the government sees this as an economic necessity.

Officials have begun knocking on doors, asking women about their family planning intentions. Many report being questioned about personal details. These questions reflect the shift from limiting families to promoting larger ones.

[...]

The government is collaborating with universities to promote marriage and childbirth. Leaders also stress this message at political gatherings, urging women to have children. This push makes it harder for women to ignore state pressure.

In many cases, officials visit homes to track women’s progress after childbirth. Some are even asked to pose for photographs with their babies for official records. These actions make many women uncomfortable, crossing into personal boundaries.

[...]

Many women feel these efforts are disconnected from reality. The cost of raising children is high in urban China, making large families unrealistic for most. Career demands and personal goals further complicate the decision to have children.

[...]

China is not only trying to increase birth rates. The government also wants to change the culture around family. They promote a “new marriage and childbearing culture.” Once tasked with limiting births, family planning associations are now encouraging families to grow.

Health and Government Surveillance

For many women, government involvement begins even before marriage. Officials often monitor couples’ plans after free health screenings. During these appointments, women receive advice on when to have children. Many women later receive calls encouraging them to pick up free prenatal supplements.

This monitoring doesn’t end with marriage. Government websites advise pregnant women to register at community health centers, which are run by local officials and keep track of pregnancies. Some women appreciate the support, but others find it intrusive. The constant check-ins feel like surveillance rather than care.

Wondering if bing got any better with creating from different perspectives (no), but still looks neat.
