"I find it odd that the same message is no longer a call to mass suicide when read out in court or reported in news covering it - only when the cult leader said it?"

This guy businesses.

"Why do Dutch children claim to be world's happiest?" Is it because they are told that they should self-report as happy and are obedient? Yes.

Whether it can happen next week or not has absolutely no bearing on the fact that it must be done.

The fact that it must be done does not mean that it will be done. Of course you can hope that in some not-so-distant future we'll get there (I sure hope so) but as of now US, Russia, Middle East and parts of EU will not only not support it but will actively fight against it. Calling local reps and posting on FB will not change that. It's not a technical problem, it's reality. It's fine to express your support for the idea but it's also fine to be realistic about its chances.

Go live near a waterfall or a highway. Problem solved.

the only obstacle is mere political will.

That's a pretty fucking big obstacle. This can only be done if all countries agree to it so with the growing number of countries taken over by right wing governments it's basically impossible. Even the Spanish government that proposed this has its days counted. This is a nice PR move, not a realistic proposal.

"After Zohran Mamdani's win, Trump reveals how scared he is to face Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez"

Yeah, because she would be running against Trump... That's a really silly take.

Exactly. She's 26 so asking "what adult woman wants an inexperienced 16 year old" is like asking "why isn't she only dating older guys". This kid might have similar experience to guys closer to her age. That being said it obviously wasn't about quality of sex.

He assumed the kid was inexperienced but the average age of sexual initiation in US is 17. Lot's of boys are experienced at 16.

That would place Elon in the top 3 biggest mass murders in history after Mao Zedong (49-78 million) and Stalin (around 20 million) but in front of Hitler (around 11 million).

"Among participants aged 14 to 24 years, the percentage having had sex increased with age, from 12.5% among females and 13.1% among males at age 14 years to more than 75% at age 19 years for both sexes."

Signal was never supposed to provide anonymity.

It is because most people were brainwashed into voting against their own best interest.

I don't know if there was a big shift. Let's look at the data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/454775/number-of-illegal-entries-between-bcps-to-the-eu/

The reaction to 2015 wave of immigrants was mixed. While some less affected countries were trying to welcome them most were directly opposing any EU-wide migration policies, building walls and refugee camps. After that the issue got more attention and as the number of illegal border coring increased countries started rolling out stricter enforcement.

EU never had the sort of "open border" policy US had where it would rely on illegal migrants to do low paid jobs. It was relying more on legal migration from ex colonies (Africa for France, South America and Morocco for Spain, South Asia for UK) or guest worker programs (Turkey-Germany) to bring in work force. The illegal border crossing were generally seen as an issue. I don't think the perspective changed as much as the reaction is getting stronger in response to changing trends and in preparation for future migrations waves.

How many meters is that?

Nice trolling, dude.

This is why people don't have kids anymore.
