  • Too bad Serbia couldn't score. I only watched the last half hour or so and they were creating quite a few chances.

  • Hello and a warm welcome from this random lemmy user! Good luck with everything, hope you stick around

  • That shows because this article (even the title) tells you France will have parliamentary elections, not presidential. Macron will remain president regardless of the outcome.

  • Hahaha also blue but waaaay more scary!

  • I think most countries with their own sesame street have slightly different characters. We don't have big bird, we have the superior Pino.

  • Where I'm from credit cards aren't really a thing (they exist obviously but I think people mainly use them when on holiday elsewhere or when buying flights or something since often the card will have some sort of insurance).

    Anyway, I was wondering what you use/used your credit card for to get so much debt? Not shaming you in the slightest, just curious since I don't even own a credit card. And what is the interest on it? Do you pay interest every month? What happens if you can't pay?

    Just curious about the logistics of cc debt. I hear it from stories from the US all the same but don't understand how it really works.

  • That's numberwang!

  • It's where Kılıçdaroğlu is from

  • It's just pushing and turning. There's no buttons on it or anything.

    I have one (though only for boiling water, not cold/filtered) and it's really not difficult or complicated. I have friends with kids who have one and they know how to use it.

  • Better late than never, right?

  • Gast pleur echt heel hard op met zulke comments. Op wie wil je dan dat Amerikanen gaan stemmen? Je krijgt maar twee opties. Dan maar de minst slechte. Als we in Nederland zouden moeten kiezen tussen D66 en PVV dan toch veel liever D66?

  • So yeah "things" are shittier, because nowadays we have the ability to live in a nearly post-scarcity society but we just don't wanna.

    Humankind could have been living in blissful peace for centuries. We've always had the ability to not kill each other or fight for resources. But many people, then and now, don't want that.

    The way civilizations/empires/countries have operated has largely been competitive. It's naive to think we'll all just come together and solve these very complicated problems.

    Saying that people are stupid or racist... I don't think that barely has anything to do with what prevents all major countries of the world to work together to combat things like disease, climate change, inequality, etc.

  • How do you define "things"?

    On a global scale and on average, life for humans is getting significantly better than, say, a century ago. The number of people dying from preventable diseases, war, natural disasters has been steadily going down for a while now.

    Of course there are many more people on earth than there were 100 years ago, so accumulatively there is a lot more suffering now.

    Also, the lives of individual people, the state of certain countries and areas are certainly getting worse.

    As for non-human animals... For most of them the world is getting increasingly less habitable and for those who are raised in an industrial setting for human consumption, living conditions are largely atrocious.

    I think your question is too broad for a single answer. But you might be interested in this now 17 year old (!) TED talk by the late Hans Rosling, which at least partially answers your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVimVzgtD6w

  • Don't like Real Madrid either but rather they win it than PSG, Man City, Chelsea, etc.

    But yeah actually I think of the remaining teams I'd love it if Dortmund would win. Bayern rather than Real, Real rather than PSG.

    Real Madrid I at least have some respect for as a club and institution. Not that they haven't done morally and legally questionable things, but PSG and City are operating on a whole different level in that regard.

  • Yeah this is basically an ad.

    Also to note: all they say about the built-in password manager of Firefox is that it lacks the feature to save credit cards. But I don't care about that and am perfectly happy using Firefox (alongside pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) on my laptop).

  • Silver lining for Arsenal is that they can focus on the league, but now for City (and probably Liverpool) the same applies.

  • And just like that there were no English teams left.

    Only watched the penalties. Modric of all people to miss (actually I don't know his penalty record), but in the end it didn't even matter.

    Happy to see City out. Hope PSG get eliminated too. Other than that don't really care who wins.
