The past leader of Ukraine was in Putin's pocket. Zelensky actually changed this and obviously being annexed kinda makes it hard to be neutral, so I'm not sure where you got that from.

For real. There's a significant number of downvotes on this article even. What the hell?

It's a protest about women reasserting autonomy over their own bodies. The majority of men in the US have voted for a regime that has shown it does not regard women's rights. It could be different from person to person but it's mainly to show the government that women won't just be passive when laws try to force women to just be a submissive baby maker.

Supportive men could do the same to maybe accellerate the cause until reasonable rights in the region are established for healthy childbirth and sex.

I can only speak to the politics in the US, but you're right in that Democrat officials are largely are wordy with little talk and no bite. I don't know if I directly blame them for the right turning fascist over the last 10 years but you can't fight a growing fire by conceding ground and feeding it while hoping that it'll be less hungry next time. The start of the fire was definitely started by Trump's propaganda in 2016 but the kindling was laid out prior in acts like Citizen's United. People were bored and wanted something different in 2016, republicans being ethically blind to damage their policies might cause. Dems really fucked up by backstabbing Bernie and forcing a bad candidate into the spotlight. 8 years later and they haven't learned anything and the working class is still left behind.

I don't know the answer to forcing the Democratic party to fix its mistakes, I just know where it went wrong.

Sorry but in the face of fascism, idealism should take a backseat. You can't prod a party to do better by voting for the opposition and you shouldn't punish everyone that is more vulnerable then you are just because you don't like your options. The time to build is between presidential elections anyways.

I mean, we've already had conversion therapy camps that families throw their queer or questioning kids into. Who's to day that's not a solution dreamed up here: Project 2025

Forgot this part: LGBTQ+ and what they are already doing now: mediamatters

There are plenty of uses for it. There are also plenty of bad implementations that don't use it in a way that helps anyone.

We're going through an overhyped period currently but we'll see actual uses in a few years once the dust settles. About 10 years ago, a similar thing happened with AI vision and now everyone has filters they can use on cameras and face detection. We'll reach another plateau until the next tech hype comes about.

In a post-scarcity society, you wouldn't need money.

We could actually achieve that too. We'd just need to solve food logistics hurdles, homelessness, useless subsidies, bigotry, corruption, greed. Totally doable in our lifetime. /s

This is definitely the last time he holds office. He did little other than turncoat after he had a concussion.

He hasn't even tried redemption. Hell, he hasn't even begun to pay for his previous crimes and is looking to commit more crimes. Redemption is when people try to make things right. How can you say this is about giving second chances when all he's done is try the same shit the second time around. What a disappointment.

I'm actually surprised by both country's stats.

Welp, that was bound to happen eventually.

Too bad the solid version of this isn't as easy to implement. Burying algae using open growth pools are probably the best migration method I've heard of so far. Brilliant Planet seems to have an effective process.
