Enkrod@feddit.orgto News@lemmy.world•Fox News Star Stuns With Unreal Take On ‘Nazis’ And ‘The Blacks’651·13 days agoThat’s honestly not stunning, not stunning at all, more like… expected, yes, that kind of talk is exactly what I expected of a Fox News host.
Enkrod@feddit.orgto memes@lemmy.world•MY magical arts are of a less WHOLESOME kind, you illiterate PEASANT!20·18 days agoVery much this. You don’t have to be trans to be curious. I’m extremely curious and given the chance would try all kinds of things that some people, who are less secure in their identity, would balk at.
But the body I would really want is just young, fit and healthy and preferably my gender asigned at birth, but I would take any gender if that’s the only way to be young, fit and healthy again.
Accurate but also not. PewDiePie came out in favour and PirateSoftware lied about it. But I think Thor lying created a huge burst of coverage about how he’s wrong and really created lots of noise about it.
Enkrod@feddit.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•SUSE launches new European digital sovereignty support service to meet surging demand11·19 days agoLook, folks, I’ve been hearing a lot, a lot, about this thing called Linux. Ever heard of it? Sounds European, doesn’t it? Probably invented in Brussels, or Sweden, maybe Russia, I don’t know. Total disaster. I call it Socialist Windows, because that’s what it is! It’s chaotic, no one’s in charge. Total mess. Bernie Sanders running an IT department, terrible. Meanwhile, Windows, great American company, by the way, very successful, very strong.
Enkrod@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?1·28 days agoYes, average healthcare costs per year in the US was $ 13,432 per capita and in Germany was $ 8,441 per capita in 2023 (PPP adjusted). Germany is the third most expensive comparable country, second most expensive was Switzerland with $ 9,688.
UK national healthcare btw. was $ 6,023, so less than half of US costs.
compared to the average healthcare costs in all US-comparable countries of $ 7,393, the US manages to spend nearly double.

Enkrod@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?1·1 month agoI don’t speak Spanish, but when I heard Colores by Ska-P (“Por la libertad es fundamental la diversidad”) I was instantly in love. The music is great and the lyrics seemed straight up fire.
Then I translated their songs and now they are my second favourite band, after RATM.
A Chitón - On repression and censorship in the name of security
El Vals del Obrero - The Workers Waltz, on unity of the working class
Enkrod@feddit.orgto World News@lemmy.world•The UK, Germany and Canada have slashed foreign aid this year, deepening damage done by US cuts, analysis shows | CNNEnglish3·2 months agoStudy after study has shown that the ROI for foreign aid is positive and indicative of an overall positive effect for the country giving the aid.
I’m only writing that to express that there are no moral and no economical reasons to reduce foreign aid. Even the right should be in favour of aid, as it lessens the amount of immigration and asylum and has a positive effect on GDP.
The only reasons to reduce foreign aid are populism, a change in political culture of the receiver (for example giving less money to Israel) and to shuffle it around in the budget, for example what Germany did with its infrastructure costs… declaring them a military necessity to be able to increase the military budget to appease Trump while still repairing our roadways.
But that is afaik not happening here… this is stupid populism.
Oh goodness, 24 years ago I was uninformed, narrowminded and had been brought up sheltered and rather conservative. So I used to be hugely trans- and homophobic. I wasn’t actively hurting or confronting anyone, but I was definitely a big part of the problem.
It actually was webcomics that deprogrammed me. That showed me a world I simply did not know but quickly felt empathy for. Those were normal, lovely people who simply existed differently from me, they weren’t a threat and they had so many struggles pushed on them only for being different.
Today I’m far-left, progressive, super empathetic, happy that a lesbian friend calls me “one of the good ones” and that I, as a huuuuuge white cis guy, can be an ally and create a safe space around me for everyone who needs it.
