12·6 days agoit isn’t going to pass because they are spending millions of dollars on ads opposing it because that will be cheaper than paying taxes.

World News@lemmy.world•Iranian star Parastoo Ahmadi sentenced to 74 lashes for singing without hijabEnglish
1·8 days agoYes, I think this is true. I definitely remember news stories about how women were treated in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya before the US government invaded those countries.
My point was that we might want things to be wrapped up in nice packages like “Iran are the good guys and Israel are the bad guys” but that just isn’t how the world works. The comment I replied to was drawing a line from Israel and the US to Iran’s treatment of women and that’s just not what is happening here. I am against the unjust war but I am also against the oppressive treatment of women in countries like Iran. I realize that there are significant cultural differences between my country and theirs but when I read something like this I wonder what it’s like to be born into a system that won’t allow you to sing without wearing a hijab.

71·8 days agoLike most people, I do not support this war. However, a quick Google search will prove that this type of oppression of women is common in Iran, with or without America and Israel bombing them. Everything bad Iran does cannot be attributed to America and Israel.

News@lemmy.world•Trump administration blames Obama after Reflecting Pool turns green after $14M refurb
25·9 days agothis is one of the stories I see posted about the most on lemmy. it’s funny because if a democrat were president and fox news was the one constantly updating everyone about it we would all be making fun of fox news. in my opinion this isn’t really newsworthy and definitely doesn’t deserve the amount of attention everyone is giving it.

News@lemmy.world•He Profits Off Raw Milk That’s Making People Sick. The Government Isn’t Stopping Him.
11·17 days agoThat just isn’t true. A quick search returned this and this. Just like in the US it seems to be very rare. There are also plenty of other foods like melon, greens, meat, etc that can cause similar sickness. My point is that these rare cases that involve raw milk in the US are being publicized because RFK is a proponent of raw milk and is Donald Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. Raw milk wasn’t just legalized and it didn’t just start making people sick in the US rather the media just started reporting on it in order to blame RFK for it.

41·20 days agolol, I see. you’re willing to entertain the whole zombie jesus story but the book of mormon is ridiculous and impossible.
honestly who even cares? I’m sure this will get corrected by hegseth because the lds have been loyal and obedient to trump and the republicans in power are only pretending to be christians.

22·29 days agoyou are the one incapable of being objective. trump may be a dipshit but in that debate biden demonstrated that he wouldn’t be able to run a cash register at walmart, let alone the country.

Games@lemmy.world•"We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removalEnglish
01·11 months agoit’s really wild that payment processors have decided to be the arbiter of content on the Internet.



wow. I guess it really worked out for gates that epstein decided to commit suicide instead of going through with exposing his powerful friends. he really lucked out.
it’s interesting that when jeff bezos was similarly blackmailed with intel of his affair he released all the info himself like keyser soze. I guess that’s why bill gates isn’t the top robber baron anymore.
