NBC is actually a much worse company.

I mostly use LibreOffice, Firefox, qBitTorrent, VLC and the Terminal (sudo apt-get update)

I don’t notice much difference.

I’m just wondering why do OS need new releases?

Is there really such a huge difference between Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 ? Because I don’t see them.

Cars aren’t supposed to park here.

I’m so tired of this shit.

Fair enough. There is evidence that coffeine can increase anxiety.

I would love to switch to tea. I just love the taste of black coffee.

Caffeine is an addictive substance.

If you are used to drinking coffee and don’t have your daily dose, you will feel terrible. Some people are very sensitive to caffeine and may experience anxiety.

I’m a caffeine addict so I’m biased here. I should perhaps reduce my coffee intake and switch to tea. I just can’t get my self to do it.

However, studies found coffee is not actually a dangerous addiction:

Across the United States, zoning codes require new developments to provide a minimum number of parking spaces, which carry substantial construction costs.

In this report, we use 2025 construction cost estimates from Rider Levett Bucknall to calculate the cost per space in 17 U.S. cities and combine these data with local minimum parking requirements to estimate how parking mandates increase total construction costs across building types.

We find that parking construction costs have risen substantially faster than inflation since 2012 and that required parking can account for a large share of total project costs—adding tens of thousands of dollars per housing unit and, in some cases, increasing total construction costs by more than 50%

You should know this because one of the reasons Trump’s been trying to use to justify this war is that Iran never said they wouldn’t pursue nuclear weapons.

Iran doesn’t want to get nukes

You think a religious dude that just gunned down tens of thousands of his own people is honest?

Iran has repeatedly denied access to International Nuclear Inspectors:

I don’t like Trump. I don’t like Netanyahu. I don’t like this stupid war.

But this idea that Iran just isn’t interested in nukes is a joke. They have been absorbing crippling sanctions to enrich uranium far-above civilian grade.

You know, if the President of this organization told me “We need to bomb Iran”, I would not listen to him. Their goal is to stop Iran from obtaining nukes, by any means necessary. It’s literally their name.

But that doesn’t mean everything they publish is total non-sense.

They actually have very knowledgeable people who write interesting reports. You just need to keep a critical eye.

Is it just me, or does it look AI generated?

It’s not

Far left is against capitalism

And you think LFI is favorable to capitalism?

Mélenchon, the leader of LFI:

“Capitalism is a system that is obsolete. Social democracy is outdated”

LFI is not considered as far left by the real far left parties

The leaders of the Anti-Capitalist Party said they would vote for the leader of LFI;

There is no paywall. It’s a gift article.

The other “left” candidate is Sophia Chikirou, an extremist tankie.

• Jokes that homosexuals are scum

• Paid tribute to the leader of Hamas

• Attends meeting with supporters of Putin

• Says China isn’t a dictatorship

On top of that, she is facing a criminal trial for financial fraud.

Unfortunately, she could tank Emmanuel Gregoire’s candidacy.

political propaganda units promoting violence and murder?

La Stampa is promoting murder and violence? 🔪🩸

Really? That’s completely illegal under Italian law.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I can’t just scream “I think you are a pedophile” then violently punch you in the face.

It doesn’t work like that.

She isn’t a sacred figure. She is not the living embodiment of Palestine.

Don’t confuse a cause and individuals.

“I’m not racist, but”

“I’m not homophobic, but”

“I condemn an attack on a newspaper, but”

There is nothing reasonable about her statement.

You don’t attack and vandalize newspapers. Period. Her claims are also clearly false. La Stampa is a quality newspaper and their coverage has highlighted Israeli crimes.

I have just added two links.

A major Italian newspaper, La Stampa, was recently stormed and vandalized:

I’m all for defending palestinians rights, but she is clearly unhinged.

France right now is like a powder keg

This far-right activist was beaten by a street group calling themselves the Young Guards (“Le Jeune Gardes”). What makes this case dangerous is that Raphael Arnault, leader of Young Guards, is also a famous French MP.

He is part of a left-wing party calling themselves the France Rebellion (“France Insoumise”).

Raphael Arnault has been involved in street fights with Young Guards against Lepen supporters. He was even sentenced to jail by a judge. However, his political party always defended him, despite his criminal conviction.

Now, the France Rebellion party is getting blamed for this death. And they are facing massive calls for physical retribution.

Things could really get out of control.

Let’s hope that cool heads prevail.
