I also found it really annoying. Fortunately it could be turned off by going to Settings in the sidebar -> "Look and feel" -> and set "Preset for swipe gesture" to disabled.

This isn't the end to the case, the provisional measures are supposed to be temporary until they make a decision on the case

I don't think you realise what the current state of a lot of Europe is, it is not good. Capitalism is bringing a lot of people into poverty and ruining the nature.

It's socialism or barbarism.

Part of the reason is probably that China has affordable EVs like the BYD Seagull and the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV

Meanwhile when I wore a mask to an appointment my gp was telling me that "covid is a regular thing and isn't serious anymore so it's just like the flu or a common cold". ...and I'm pretty severely chronically ill, and last time I had covid was awful, so I think I'll keep my mask on, and encourage others to do the same!

Studies have been done on this, and lower speeds correspond with less noise pollution.

She has been running a blog called Skepchick since 2005, and is a youtuber focused on feminism and critical thinking. Although she doesn't talk about marxism, she is an outspoken anti-capitalist.

Based on the stuff mentioned in Rebecca Watson's video on it, I'd say it's probably best to skip it. Video: https://youtu.be/avWOnnhjxM4

Yeah, we should all try to have a consistent set of moral principles. CW on products of animal exploitation shouldn't be opposed, but rather cause people to stop and think about the reasoning behind it, and the conclusion, I think, should be obvious.

While not cheap, headphones with active noise cancelling is much better for public transport imo. E.g. the Sony WH-1000XM4 would set you back $350, which is a bit, but probably much cheaper than a car

Posted this comment elsewhere, but is relevant here so I'll repost:

Further research is needed, but when digested casein breaks down into casomorphin which might bind to opioid receptors and release dopamine.

I just used to watch Barnaby Dixon, a puppeteer on YouTube. His channel was wholesome and decently big, he was even a guest on Adam Savage's Tested channel a few years ago. But then he started doing some interviews, and one time he interviewed a transphobe about children transitioning. When people were pointing out how awful this choice was, and how wrong and harmful everything the guest had said was, he just replied to the transphobes and ignored all criticism. So these days I stay away from pretty much all channels unless they are explicitly trans allies.

I agree with you. I was just saying what seems to be the logic of the EU in this letter: https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un-new-york/eu-explanation-vote-–-un-general-assembly-draft-resolution-combating_en

Which basically is "We oppose Nazism, but Russia uses fighting Nazism as part of its justification for the war in the Ukraine, so if we vote yes it'll look like we support Russia in the war".

Which I think is bullshit of course.

They would rather be considered fascists for refusing to oppose nazism than hypocrites for supporting a Russian draft resolution 💀

As someone who hasn't seen either of the versions, but just seen what people wrote about it. The live-action Mulan succeeds in her endeavours because she is the chosen one with magical powers, while in the original she did so through hard work and being clever.
