  • UN General Assembly votes on draft resolution on torture - 20/11/2025

    Jump

  • It's not even that, a good chunk of the countries who voted yes probably are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future. Ffs North Korea voted yes. These are just the countries self righteous enough to think torturing is a good thing and are willing to go on record to say so.

  • Nancy Pelosi announces she will not seek reelection to Congress after nearly 40 years in Washington

    Jump

  • The San Francisco district didn't change in the redistricting, and remains one of the few coherent house districts these days. There is a progressive using the mamdani playbook challenging her in the 26 primaries, so maybe she just wants to quit while she's ahead and keep her undefeated record.

  • Cuomo to Form an Exiled Goverment in Staten Island

    Jump

  • It's a reference to the Chinese civil war. When it was clear the communists were going to win the head of the nationalist Kuomintang party Chiang Kai shek fled to Taiwan and established the modern republic of China (Taiwan) in hopes of eventually returning and retaking the mainland after communism collapsed or the US decided to get involved. After they left mao mopped up the remaining nationalist forces and established the people's republic of China, both of them claim to be the legitimate government of both Taiwan and the mainland.

  • Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco

    Jump

  • Before anyone starts to think there's a good guy in this story:

    some have taken upon themselves to honor KitKat in distinctly Silicon Valley-style ways. Zeidan (part of cats family) has released a memecoin honoring KitKat’s legacy, and also said that he was disappointed to see others launch their own imitation tokens in an attempt to profit off KitKat’s death.

    He says he's going to use the money to support local vets, but why don't you just share some links to spca to donate directly, you're providing nothing but a way for you to grift by taking the money through meme coins.

    Jump

  • IDK they've been pretty on top of this. I remember earlier this year there was a story about them honking all night at there depot and they released a patch to fix it in a couple days. They are trying to get approval to drive to the airport so they're very sensitive to public opinion and the politicians in charge of approving that.

  • Maldives becomes the first country to impose a generational ban on smoking

    Jump

  • It can work if there's a safer legal alternative. Like theres a black market for moonshine but it's miniscule compared to the whole alcohol market because most people would rather go to a normal store and buy vodka instead cause they know what they're getting. Same with tobacco, they aren't banning all nicotine products, just smoking, so if the options are to smoke this probably contaminated tobacco you get off the black market or vape / chew nicotine products that have some quality assurance most people will choose the latter.

  • Trump to impose $100,000 fee per year for H-1B visas, in blow to tech

    Jump

  • Trump to impose $100,000 fee per year for H-1B visas, in blow to tech

    Jump

  • No one was buying his trump gold card for $1 million to get a visa so he had to up the fee on other visas to make it make sense.

  • Explain to me like I am a literal 5 year old. What is the hate towards Trans people? Is it just because they a different? Did they do something to garner the hate? I was raised different and change...

    Jump

  • One point I'd like to add is that trans identity can become an existential threat to a lot of people, in the philosophical sense of existentialism vs essentialism. If you base your entire life, identity and values off a single idea, then questioning that idea brings into question your entire existence. If you think your a man because you have a penis and that your hetero because your attracted to Afab women then the idea that a women can have a penis brings into question both of those identities and all the decisions in your life you made off those identities.

    If you aren't secure in your sexual and gender identity these sort of questions can be very uncomfortable as doubt would lead to you doubting and regretting every decision you've made in your life leading to an existential crisis. So instead of facing this existential dread people will run from these questions and attack anything that may raise them to preserve their identity and ego.

  • The future sucks

    Jump

  • Man the ai hate is so strong on lemmy they can't even admit when it's good at something. Though I'm guessing a lot of these people's experience with getting recipes from it is memes of bad hallucinations and not actually trying it looking at all the "glue on pizza" takes.

    I'll back you up though, have gotten a lot of good recipes from chatgpt, even for baking which doesn't have a lot of room for error.

  • If only we had some sort of deal with Iran to monitor there nuclear program and make sure they can't make a nuke in exchange for sanctions relief or something...

  • Ironically, people making fun of the "Gnu/Linux" copypasta is probably one of the main ways people know what Gnu is

    Jump

  • I learned about it because Richard stallman gave a speech at my campus (pre-controversy) and half his speech was the gnu copy pasta unironically. Which I get, if i made core software that most of the world's server runs on, I wouldn't shut up about it either.

  • Exclusive: Somaliland president says recognition of state ‘on the horizon’ following Trump talks

    Jump

  • Nah, we already got el salvador for that. They're gonna need to open up to all the Palestinians "voluntarily leaving" gaza after netanyahu and co make it uninhabitable.

  • Believe it or not, there was a time when the US government built beautiful homes for working-class Americans to deal with a housing crisis

    Jump

  • They can do limited equity programs to mitigate this and other speculation. Ie. When you buy the house you agree to sell it at the inflation adjusted price you bought it at, maybe with a percent or two of appreciation as well.

    Jump

  • San francisco has around 50,000 vacant residencies and around 8,000 unhoused people. There is supply in these "desirable" locations, it's just that under the logic of capitalism this supply isn't made available to those who need it.

  • How ok would you be if teleported right now into a field in Peru in the 1300s with... (see description)?

    Jump

  • To all the people in here saying "I could warn them and help them prepare to take on the conquistadores" while the sentiment is good, the conquistadores weren't the ones that wiped them out, it was smallpox and other diseases. So unless you can synthesize a vaccine, or just expose them to it then so they can recover population in a couple centuries, they're doomed no matter what.

  • How ok would you be if teleported right now into a field in Peru in the 1300s with... (see description)?

    Jump

  • A heads up is not gonna save them from their real killers, smallpox, unless you brought it with you and give them a couple centuries to recover population and gain immunity.

  • 'Stateless overnight': Kuwait strips tens of thousands of citizenship

    Jump

  • That'd be great if freedom of movement wasn't one of the first rights they take away to prevent something like this.

  • Young US men are joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness'

    Jump

  • This wispy-bearded Texan is in the vanguard of a movement urging conservatives to relocate to Russia. Last August, Putin introduced fast-track shared values visa for those fleeing Western liberalism.

    Oh no ... don't do that. Us lefties would hate if all our manly men left us to deal with these Haitians eating our dogs alone. That would trigger and own us so much.
