The brain renewal concept could have applications such as treating stroke victims

If this can restore functions to stroke victims again, it's absolutely amazing.
If this is vastly successful which remains to be seen, there might be a path format to the longevity part of the idea.

the electric car market in Europe is “in deep trouble.”

Stellantis doesn't really have any attractive offerings IMO, among all their popular European brands Peugeot, Citroen, FIAT and Opel, they don't have a single model in the top 20 here!!
All these brands used to be very popular in Denmark, but EV has passed 50%, and everything Stelantis EV simply sucks, they have too little range and are too expensive. AFAIK every Stelantis of the 4 above brands are based on the same platform, and the same battery, and it's simply not good enough.

But it's not just Stelantis, even Toyota is out of top 10, their best seller is a petrol/benzin car at #12. The worlds biggest automaker only has 2 models in top 20, And none among EV top 10.

What's really out is hybrids, the top selling hybrid only sell half of the lowest on the top 20!

Such a sweet looking girl, but her brain is mush. 😐

Yes the guy in the photo looks like a priest, and FSB has taken control of the Russian Orthodox church.
That's just one way Russia is influencing previous Soviet states. Hopefully Russia will fail, if not now, then when they lose the war against Ukraine.

Her plan to help families with a fixed amount to buy a house for example, is more help to people with less money than rich people.
From your previous comments it seems like even AOC wouldn't be left wing enough for you? Because even AOC is fundamentally in favor of a regulated free market capitalism as the economic basis for society, much like social democrats in Scandinavia.

The way to end fracking for good, is to provide enough sustainable energy, Kamala Harris has explicitly stated that she will work towards that.
I agree more effort on environment would be beter, but this is probably the best we can realistically get right now.
And between the 2 options, there is zero doubt that Kamala Harris is working towards the right goals, and Trump is not.

I thought they didn't want to be part of Russia. But WTF is the difference the way they behave?

Wasn't Ukraine the main hub for development and production of the more advanced weapons during Soviet times?
It would be kind of ironic if Ukraine surpasses Russia, and take over the Russian exports after the war.

Anyways Ukraine has for sure exceeded all expectations in this unjustifiable war against them.

Slava Ukraini

People really shouldn't care about the color. Her heart seems to be in the right place, her policies are good, and she is definitely very competent.

On the other hand we have Trump, who is a flaming narcissist, and mostly want to escape jail and lower taxes for the rich, and is a moron.

How is this even a race?

PS: Interesting article, with some good observations IMO.

The amount of people in the world is a pretty insane number, which makes "almost nobody" 8800 users visiting per day just on lemmy.world, and it's still growing pretty fast.
I'm fine with reddit doing their shit for the masses, and the ones with a bit more critical sense coming here.

When only 2 parties take turns ruling the country, the checks and balances don't really work well when stressed. Because the party that needs to be checked, control half the apparatus, and can disrupt large parts of the other half.

Countries with maybe 10+ parties in parlament like many European countries have, will never have a single party with control of half the apparatus responsible for the checks and balances.

This is a huge reason first past the post is bad for democracy, apart from also not representing the population as fairly as is possible with numerous parties of influence.

This problem permeates throughout the entirety of the system, including the judicial, where judges belong to one or the other party, enabling an imbalance with total control for one party in for instance the supreme court.
With a multi party system, a single party would NOT be able to take control in the way we have seen happen in USA, which obviously shouldn't be possible, and also doesn't help to prevent corruption.
