joel1974 , in South Korea’s birth rate has become a national emergency

Raping now legal

Spacehooks ,

Please do not give them ideas.

soviettaters , (edited ) in Paris votes whether to hit SUVs with eye-popping parking costs in latest green drive before Olympics

It's stupid to just target SUVs. I'm not anti-SUV at all but all they need to do is give you a fine if you don't park inside the lines alongside the street. If your car doesn't fit then too bad.

Edit: I'm being downvoted for...agreeing that Paris has a right to regulate the size of cars on their streets?

clever_banana OP , in CIA Vault7 WikiLeaks source sentenced 40 years (convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material)

That just means you can't see them but they still exist

Guess you have much more insight into this than I have, so I have nothing to add. Good luck.

AngryishHumanoid , in Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza has disappeared from prison, colleagues say

How long before Russia claims he was on that plane?

Taniwha420 , in Child serial killer Lucy Letby loses initial attempt to challenge convictions

Is this just straight up psychopathy? It seems like maybe she was trying to kill babies off to a bad start, so there's a strange ethic in there. Fucked up person though.

Man, I want to know more about this now. Has she expressed any remorse? Has she been psychiatrically evaluated?

JoBo ,

Has she expressed any remorse?

She is still maintaining her innocence so, no.

There will no doubt be some deep dives into her state of mind published eventually. As far as I can tell, the conviction is safe, as in, the evidence is solid that it was more than just a statistical blip, or errors under pressure due to understaffing (which was her all too credible defence).

There's speculation that it was a very extreme form of attention seeking, which started not long after she moved away from her parents, who she was very close to as an only child. Probably a lot more complicated than psychopathy.

peterf , in Ukraine says corrupt officials stole $40 million meant to buy arms for the war with Russia

They always do this prior to launching an attack on civilian infrastructure in Russia.

D61 , in NSA finally admits to spying on Americans by purchasing sensitive data

Guess its easier than trying to quietly pressure corporations to put backdoors into everything.

MrCookieRespect , in UN chief calls for donor countries to restore funding for Gaza relief agency

Won't happen. They participated in causing that war.

They need to be shut down.

Do you have proof or just your speculation?

MrCookieRespect ,

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/26/unrwa-investigation-staff-7-october-attack-israel

Do you live behind the moon? Basically all important countries stopped funding because of that.

I read, "suspected" and "investigates". That is just Israel's accusation at this point, not a proof of wrongdoing.

MrCookieRespect ,

But when south Africa makes up a case of genocide its of course true...

The Israeli accusations are definitely more valid.

Doorbook ,

The is an absolutely idiotic statement. Considering the ICJ voted yes to South Africa case.

It's pending a full decision, not yet decided either way. They only ruled that:

  1. (15-2 vote) The state of Israel shall take all measures to prevent the commission of genocide to Gaza
  2. (15-2 vote) The state of Israel shall ensure that the military not commit any acts of genocide
  3. (16-1 vote) Israel shall take all measures to punish all public solicitations to genocide
  4. (16-1 vote) Israel shall take immediate and effective measures to address adverse conditions to life in the Gaza Strip
  5. (15-2 vote) Israel shall take effective measures to preserve evidence of actions impacting the Genocide convention
  6. (15-2 vote) Israel shall submit to the court a report all measures taken to follow the orders of this court within one month
benjhm , in Mining giants told to pay $9.7bn over Brazil dam disaster

I remember in 2011 passing the village below the dam - now under the red mud - a disaster waiting to happen, obvious even to a bus passenger. That local bus in which I traveled was run by the same mining company, who employed most people around there. If that's still the case, suppose they'll still control what's done with the fund money.

psmgx , in Alabama inmate executed with nitrogen gas was ‘shaking violently’ for 22 minutes, witnesses say

Neat

dylanmorgan , in Ecuadorian government seizes and destroys over 20 tonnes of cocaine

Well there goes my weekend.

Compactor9679 , in ‘Only Those With Money Can Leave’: Gazans Pay Thousands to Escape Through Egypt

So an mosulm country is not helping the gazans? Wonder why... Gaza is filled with so many good people, none of them are terrorist

middlemanSI , in Gaza officials say Israeli fire struck a crowd waiting for aid, killing at least 20

Avengers, assemble!

po_tay_toes , in Millennials and Gen Z aren’t worried about financial fraud, but they should be
@po_tay_toes@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

No money, not my problem. Watching the greedy rob the well-off (Yes, I consider a $50,000/yr household to be well-off) doesn't pain me as much as a lot of other, institutionalized economical-abusive practices.
