Same here in The Netherlands, most reporting is on how many long COVID patients are (still) getting benefits.

Never knew this, thanks

Actual headline of the article: Milei, Musk and Maga: Is Argentina influencing the US?

I agree this is a problem.

You’re right, but the referendum wouldn’t be about which action the voters want the Hungarian governmentment to take it would be about which action they want the EU to take. A government shouldn’t be able to sabotage the wellbeing of it’s people against their will. The EU should be there for the people, not it’s government.

Wow, there might be more Tesla’s put of fire than there are Russians that fell out of a window now.

I disagree, he’s not still in power because he fairly won free elections time and again. The Hungarian democracy is broken, especially because the media and legal system are compromised. There is plenty of people wanting Hungary to be a democratic country part of the EU. The same goes for Serbia, where massive protests are showing that more clearly at the moment.

Emotionally I agree, rationally I think I’d set a bad precedent if we give up on the Hungarians as people because we’re fed up with the actions of their government. Would be more fair to have some kind of referendum: stay in EU and ditch Orban vs leave the EU and keep Orban

I read this earlier today, I am getting more upset by Israel each day while I have been thinking I’ve been at some maximum level of anger and sadness about the situation of the palastinans. Ive known Netanyahu is evil for a while now but so many Israeli are at is side I’m really starting to hate them.

The day is much shorter in the middle winter, so it never was about daylight being left after work. I agree if there is less than 8 hours of daylight and you work 8 hours or more in a factory or an office it doesn’t matter much which hours are dark and which aren’t.

I’m all for aligning life with the rhythm of nature and all, but I don’t see how that’d work in current times.

Well if you pick permanent summer time it’s gonna be light hella late in winter so you might not know it but it might matter much to you. Although I don’t know you and maybe it truly wouldnt matter to you

Yes, but the EU is split into four time zones now and if you implement this technically there would be many more:

8 if we’d have 30-min time-zones 16 if we’d have 15-min time-zones 24 if we’d have 10-min time-zones 48 if we’d have 5-min time-zones 240 if we’d have 1-min time-zones

I’m not saying we should keep dst, but we can’t have everyone have midday at 12:00 and midnight at 00:00.

But at least you saved enough quid to fund the nhs

Talking to others about the things I’m anxious about, not just before or after the fact but also while I’m anxious about something.

Reminding myself it’s ok to be me, it’s ok to feel anxious and that I didn’t choose to be anxious and am not to blame for my anxiety.

Taking moments during the day to just breathe, follow a guided meditation or write down my thoughts. It makes me feel calm which makes the anxiety much more bearable.

This is fake news. If this would happen (however unlikely) Gandalf would probably stay quiet about being added to the group and just write about it in his weekly magazine. Also, there were no war plans discussed.

It’s his own fault, turkey doesn’t do press freedom for a while now 🪦

He also praised Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un and Invader Vlad. What did you expect?

I’ve read about this tactic in effing up diplomatic relations 101
