This might all be made up. See https://www.nknews.org/2024/06/fact-check-north-korea-has-not-announced-plans-to-send-troops-to-ukraine-yet/

I've never heard of NK News before so - https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/nk-news/. Seems Ok.

In other news articles they're described as support troops or engineers. They'd be building things, cooking meals, driving trucks, repairing stuff. Maybe occasionally get a HIMARS dropped on them but certainly not storming trenches.

Those caveats are pretty standard and uncontroversial when it comes to crime statistics. Source: I studied Sociology 101 at university.

Unless something has happened that would make people less likely to report crimes or less likely for there to be convictions, etc then I see no reason why these crime stats would be any more unreliable than usual.

Yes your frustration is totally understandable. It is a very heated topic and a lot of bad faith arguments are thrown around.

Sometimes I remind myself not to hope that the person I'm replying to will understand my reply or acknowledge that I'm right - instead I post my reply for the lurkers to read, who are far more numerous. The lurker has not publicly said anything so their ego is not fixed on defending their position and they are more likely to receive what I contribute with an open mind.

With this wider context, the goal changes. When the target audience shifts to the readers then there is no longer a need to continue a long back and forth discussion (the person replying to me will never change their mind anyway!) once I have made my point clearly. It's ok if the other person has the last word if by having it they discredit themselves by demonstrating a closed mind - the lurkers will see it.

I hope this helps.

He's a Kremlin asset, no doubt about it.

I've been reading your posts. You make excellent points very often, clearly drawing from a deep knowledge of the region.

However continually calling people names and insulting their intelligence will tend to stop them from really hearing your message and just inflame the situation. You could just not type that stuff and then everything else you type would have more impact. It'd be a pity to waste all that effort.

I don't think trac has any kind of kanban UI to it, btw. They might have added it by now, it's been years since I used it.

It depends what you were using Jira for - it has a lot of features, most of which you were probably not using.

Trac has a wiki, tickets and git all in one - https://trac.edgewall.org

NextCloud has a plugin called 'Tasks' which looks similar to Trello.

Forgejo is similar to github - https://forgejo.org/

Gaming - https://piefed.social/topic/gaming
Science - https://piefed.social/topic/science
Cooking - https://piefed.social/topic/food
Gardening - https://lemmy.world/c/gardening

It is understandable that you didn't find those communities, discoverability is a real issue with Lemmy. I have tried to solve this by curating communities into groups of Topics - https://piefed.social/topics

The only other country where divorce is illegal is Vatican City.

Maybe they like to exercise power over others. Sociopaths like to hurt people.

I had the intellectual rug pulled out from under me like that, once. Someone I met minutes before saw deep inside and knew exactly where to push to make everything fall apart. It was brutal, took me days to recover.

I would appreciate this mbfc content on smaller less well known sources but imo we can assume Reuters and other big names are already trusted.

Also this article is a simple reporting of unambiguous events that undoubtedly occurred so there's really no need to check the source. It's not an interpretation of a political situation.

Just trying to save you some time.

Yes and climate change, also caused by people, is going to more than damage a whole shitload of world heritage.

How do you know that?

Really?

CNN, host of the June 27 debate, says only President Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump have met its conditions for taking part: appear on enough state ballots to potentially win the presidency and also receive at least 15% in four separate national polls. Kennedy has received at least 15% in only three accepted polls to date and has qualified for the ballot in six states, making it impossible for him to win the presidency.

Fascism is not a "political view". Fascism is the extinction of politics. It sits outside the bounds of political discourse.
