Sim, ele incita essa violência e depois foge

a bicycle powered generator would save me so much on heating bills

reminds me of the risotto shortage due to the drought in Italy last year: https://www.euronews.com/2022/08/05/po-river-drought-risotto-rice-harvest-fears-as-italian-paddy-fields-dry-up-amid-lack-of-ra

100% inject it into my veins (just kidding I'm straight edge)

just don't read past the 3rd book

Absolutely heartbreaking, my support for the NZ people

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try that

I'm really confused lol, that is not me I have this account and one on beehaw.

How strange I had a different comment but I edited it and it changed to that one ...

If only I had 2000 euros to spare for this beauty...

Ohhh is that what unchecking the "show bot account" does I thought it removed the badge indicating a user was a bot account. Thanks!

I like to use "Hot" instead of active as it seems to fetch posts from a more diverse set of communities

I've also heard that view by new comments is solid as well

Yes I agree, having laws against fake-news is really important now that A.I can quickly write bogus stories and image/video deep fakes are easily made

Female and old enough to be an avid user of IRC, AOL chatrooms, Myspace, etc.

It seems this policy may be in connection to one enacted in 2022: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2022/09/14/france-to-limit-energy-price-hikes-to-15-in-2023_5996945_7.html

"Very early on, we took strong measures to protect the French public. But everyone knows, and we have to say it transparently: These measures come at a cost to our public finances," Ms. Borne said in justification of the less generous caps. In total, the government's capping measures next year are expected to cost €16 billion, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said at the conference, with €11 billion going toward gas and €5 billion on electricity."

So I would say that the French govt. directly subsidizes this price regulation

I had an account on another instance that used to be federated but is no longer so I made one here.

I kindly ask you to judge me on my words/actions not on when my account was made

As per the rules of the community:

"No spamming: Please do not post the same content multiple times or post links to irrelevant websites."

While I did make many posts within a short period of time none of them are the same content and are all relevant websites. I am able to be active during specific times of the day so I post the world news articles when I receive them from breaking news sites.

I was banned because I was suspected of being a bot and asked to provide proof which I did and was unbanned, that is fair moderation in my opinion to try and keep out post bots.

From the article: "adopting new rules for tech firms that include disclosure of copyrighted and AI-generated content" "EU lawmakers in June agreed to a trailblazing set of draft rules, which would make companies such as ChatGPT operator OpenAI disclose AI-generated content, help distinguish so-called deep fake images from real ones and ensure safeguards against illegal content."

So in pursuits of protecting artists & data which is in line with the GDPR, while reducing the amount of disinformation that these types of technologies can create.

The upcoming election in Taiwan is very important there is some discontent with the DPP, as shown here: https://twitter.com/Chunyu_China/status/1680857161751236609

Also this article has a great breakdown of the political situation there: https://jamestown.org/program/why-taiwans-2024-presidential-election-is-wide-open/

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-jamestown-foundation/

"Shortly after Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) suffered the worst loss in its 37-year history, Nikkei Asia Review published an article entitled “Taiwan’s KMT has a mountain to climb for 2024 presidential race” that cautioned not to read too much into the opposition Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) success in the local elections last November (Nikkei Asia, November 29, 2022)."

"Much like its handling of the pandemic, the Tsai administration’s cross-Strait policy was popular early in her second term, but is showing signs of strain given its inflexible nature. To be sure, Taiwanese elected Tsai in part because they trusted her more than the KMT’s 2020 presidential nominee Han Kuo-yu to safeguard Taiwan’s sovereignty and way of life. As Tsai defeated Han in a landslide in which she received 57.1 percent of the vote, she entered her second term with a strong mandate to stand firm against Chinese aggression (Taipei Times, January 12, 2020). However, the ripple effect from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last August has complicated what had been a straightforward task for the DPP. As long as China’s coercion of Taiwan was confined to sanctions, poaching of diplomatic allies and small-scale gray-zone activity, the Tsai administration could focus on strengthening ties with the U.S., Japan and other democracies, while taking care not to escalate tensions with Beijing. The DPP faced little public pressure to re-establish dialogue with China given it’s hostility toward Taiwan, especially when the pandemic occupied the attention of Taiwanese society. Pelosi’s visit was a game changer, though. Even if many Taiwanese welcomed the diplomatic recognition the visit conferred on their country, after observing China’s unprecedented martial muscle flexing, they realized that the stakes of this game had risen sharply"

As with most countries the prospect of a war that could destroy economy, kill citizens, and prevent any peaceful discussions is one not favored by most.

Many scientists have discussed the impact that positive feedback loops have in climate science and why events will occur with increasing frequency and severity in the coming years:

Here are some short films that discuss the various areas that these occur within.

For me I have hope that by spreading awareness and organizing we can work together to pressure our governments around the world to embrace the change needed

China considers it self to be so as the Modern CPC follows Xi Jinping thought which is defined by wikipedia as:

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

"Xi Jinping Thought consists of a 14-point basic policy as follows:

        Ensuring Communist Party of China leadership over all forms of work in China.
    The Communist Party of China should take a people-centric approach for the public interest.
    The continuation of "comprehensive deepening of reforms".
    Adopting new science-based ideas for "innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development".
    Following "socialism with Chinese characteristics" with "people as the masters of the country".
    Governing China with the Rule of Law.
    "Practise socialist core values", including Marxism–Leninism and socialism with Chinese characteristics.
    "Improving people's livelihood and well-being is the primary goal of development".
    Coexist well with nature with "energy conservation and environmental protection" policies and "contribute to global ecological safety".
    Strengthen the national security of China.
    The Communist Party of China should have "absolute leadership over" China's People's Liberation Army.
    Promoting the one country, two systems system for Hong Kong and Macau with a future of "complete national reunification" and to follow the One-China principle and 1992 Consensus for Taiwan.
    Establish a common destiny between the Chinese people and other peoples around the world with a "peaceful international environment".
    Improve party discipline in the Communist Party of China


  

In economic matters, Xi Jinping thought highlights the historical importance of state-owned enterprises."
