As someone who comes from a Canadian Muslim family, that's probably the thing that made me stop watching the show. It was just so over the top in terms of Muslim culture that it just seemed off. The way Islam was brought in to pretty much every discussion, no one actually talks or acts like that, at least no moderates. It's no different from people of Christian backgrounds who I am sure aren't talking about being Christian 24/7. It just felt like pandering.

This is exactly how I feel when my American colleagues discuss the weather in Fahrenheit.

People keep blaming Russia as if Africans are somehow incapable of making their own decisions. The reality is Africans are tired of French neo colonialism. Niger is a perfect example. They were selling france uranium for $0.8/kg when the market price is $200. That's Niger's resources going to power French power plants, while the people of Niger are struggling to survive. Fuck that shit.

I am not suggesting that we remove normal checkouts. I am just saying I like the option of having self checkout everywhere.

[-] zefiax@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago

I actually prefer self checkouts. It's a simple task and going grocery shopping is one of my moments of solitude in the week, I don't wanna talk to anyone that I don't have to.

I mean this is kinda bs. We had some really good movies released this year as well.

Barbie - besides all the bitching on lemmy, it's actually a good movie

Oppenheimer - Maybe an all time classic

Spiderman Across the Multiverse - maybe one of the best superhero movies ever

Super Mario Bros - Not my type of movie but a commercial hit

Guardians of the Galaxy - Another really good superhero movie

John Wick 4 - Super fun movie

And that's just halfway through the year.

Edit: and mission impossible this year too

I primarily watch YouTube on tv, it is my most used video streaming platform, so yes I do. As does all my friends.

This is a good example of the worst kind of pseudo intellectual bs that tricks the uninformed. It's confidently wrong in so many different areas that I don't even know where to start.

I mean, not as if 40C was unheard of in the Mediterranean?..

Record breaking temperatures are by definition unheard of. What the Mediterranean is experiencing is not normal by any definition.

When you pay more for a green alternative to something very much not green, you may be causing lots of bad things indirectly.

The not green versions are also costing us by costing the environment.

I mean, if a thing itself is 100% green energy\resource\process, then money you pay for it are maybe 20% green and 80% pretty much brown. So if it costs twice and you pay for that, you may be creating a demand for dirtier production just to soothe your conscience about global warming.

This makes absolutely not sense at all. You have absolutely no evidence or data to back up these numbers you made up. You've essentially made a bunch of false assumptions and then used those false assumptions to then validate your inaccurate claim.

I love water resistance. You don't need to get rid of water resistance for removal batteries, we had both, together, at the same time, before. Samsung s5 active.

Tamim Iqbal announces his surprise retirement.

How can a modern democracy even consider doing this? I mean I am not fan of most social media but still, this sounds like something you would see in Iran or China.

People forget a huge side of this as well. It's not just being financial able to have kids but physically able. More and more people now days are seeking fertility treatment and having fertility issues. According to elon, those people would not have the right to vote.
