European Union to ban cash payments above €10,000

Sure but there is a point where moving elsewhere becomes almost mandatory. For many highly skilled people in poorer EU countries, migrating to the Imperial core is a no brainer.

How to sexualize males for a female audience?

One of the biggest mobile games on the planet is Love and Deepspace. It is a game that appeals to women(and gay men?) and on top of being kinda conventional videogame, it is the modern version of erotic literature.

I have only seen clips and they were much more spicy than most mobile games, even mobile games that appeal to straight men.

Payment for surgery to doctors who arent allowed to be paid, in a failed universal healthcare system. Or doctors who want to tax evade. This is a necessity if you want your poorer country to keep any decent doctors. Because why would any doctor work for 1500€ when they can easily migrate and find a job for 10k+.

TIL that eating dirt was common in the U.S. South until the 80s. People ate a handful a day, often seasoned with vinegar and salt.

B12 isnt easily absorbed by the body, thats why supplements and food have wild daily portions, so even if you pee most of it, you still absorb some.

How Israel Turned Eurovision’s Stage Into a Soft Power Tool

Eurovision is an EBU thing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Broadcasting_Union

There are plenty of non European countries that are eligible to participate and have participated in the past. A lot dont participate anymore because Israel is allowed to participate and/or Eurovision is too gay for them. Or because it is too "expensive" to participate.

Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

Jump

NIB @lemmy.world 4w ago

You can do things for free or cheap but some things have so long waiting times, that you opt for private doctors, which can be somewhat cheap, at least in comparison with the US and because there is "competition" with the public system.

"A new report from Nielsen and published by Variety reveals that nobody is watching the most recent trio of core Star Wars films"

Jump

People absolutely hated the prequels when they came out. They were a joke with badly written dialogue and cartoon characters, at least for the adults of that era. But when the children of that era grew up, these children looked at the prequels with fondness and the bad dialogue became modern viral memes.

So maybe the same will happen with the sequels. The only issue is that social media have ruined the brains of children. I feel all conventional media will soon become irrelevant.

No one has the attention needed to watch a movie anymore, not even in the background while surfing the internet. People just have youtube or twitch or tiktok in the background.

There are places that are snowy most of the time and everything works just fine. It really isnt that bad if you are prepared and have appropriate infrastructure.

Bears or no bears?

Jump

NIB @lemmy.world 4mo ago

There is a reason there are no lions left in Europe, we killed them. We killed most wildlife and only recently we have tried to bring those somewhat large predators back(wolves, bears, etc).

I am pretty sure if there were polar bears in the Mediterranean, and the rest of the history remained the same, they would also be considered extinct or endangered.

All you need is a lot of humans and time and eventually all big animal threats will be eliminated.

3 things

Without the US, Europe has significant capability holes(satellite, logistics, ground launched missiles, nukes)
Multiple smaller armies might be, in theory, an order of magnitude "stronger" than the Russian military but because of inefficiencies, overlap capabilities and lack of unified command structure and organizing, they are effectively a circus that cant do much.
Not all Europe will react the same and with the same urgency. A crisis(like russian soldiers occupying a small Baltic town) by definition will create huge cracks within Europe.

Valve sends annual chocolates to Steam devs who earn roughly $800,000

Jump

NIB @lemmy.world 5mo ago

The main issue with american chocolates is that they taste like vomit because americans have associated that with chocolate. So american chocolate manufacturers add butyric acid in their chocolate so it can have that lovely characteristic taste. Butyric acid extends the shelf life of chocolate.

The rest of the world isnt a big fan of vomit for some reason.

John Bolton might be a hawk but he is pro NATO and anti-Trump(now). He might want to overthrow Maduro but he has no influence over the Trump administration nowadays.

EA DICE(creators of Battlefield) is based in Sweden. EA Gothenburg(aka Ghost Games), creators of the Need for Speed games are also based in Sweden. Funcom, creators of Dune Awakening are swedish.

Avalanche Studios, creators of Just Cause games, are based in Sweden. Mojang, creators of Minecraft are swedish too. Frictional Games, creators of Amnesia and Soma are swedish. Fatshark, creators of Warhammer 40k Darktide are swedish.

It is important to note that nowadays, games are developed by devs all over the world, especially AAA games. But there are a lot of game devs based in Sweden.

China’s plans to cut emissions too weak to stave off global catastrophe, say experts

Jump

NIB @lemmy.world 8mo ago

I've read on Reuters that China is probably under promising and they will do better than they claim. At least China understands that climate change is real and is trying to do something about it. Unlike some other country. The bar is on the floor, yet some countries are struggling.

The more we normalize assassinations, the worse the world becomes. America is slightly more fucked today, not because this guy died, but because extrajudicial assassinations are not cool. This only accelerates the collapse of american society and rule of law.
