World News@lemmy.world•Niger coup: Is France to blame for instability in West Africa?English
2·3 years agoThis is truly some cheap geopolitical analysis, the article attempts to redeem itself towards the but, Jesus, talk about clickbait. They’re literally reducing half of a continent to a monolith, disregarding the specific reality and conditions of the individual countries. Africa is indeed a country for the BBC, it appears.
The lost syllables at the end of spoken French would like to have a word… Ideally a complete finished one, but we know that’s not possible

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your stories of moderator overreach on Lemmy?English
201·3 years agoIs there any incentive other than showing who’s boss on the internet? I struggle to see how the amount of time and energy involved in moderating just one community, let alone multiple ones, are worth it just to get a power high. It seems exhausting.

World News@lemmy.world•Aspartame is safe in limited amounts, say experts after cancer warningEnglish
341·3 years agoAbout the MSG hysteria, it’s not even rooted in actual medical data, just run-of-the-mill xenophobia, which in itself is absolutely wild to me. It’s like a whole chunk of the population collectively decided to develop the palate of a toddler, turning up their nose to “foreign” food.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate “Researchers, doctors, and activists have tied the controversy about MSG to xenophobia and racism against Chinese culture,[62][63][64][65][66] saying that East Asian cuisine is being targeted while the widespread use of MSG in other processed food hasn’t been stigmatized.[67] These activists have claimed that the perpetuation of the negative image of MSG through the Chinese restaurant syndrome was caused by “xenophobic” or “racist” biases.[68][69]”

2·3 years agoYou’re experiencing what Kant called the sublime. "Feelings of the beautiful “occasion a pleasant sensation but one that is joyous and smiling.” On the other hand, feelings of the sublime “arouse enjoyment but with horror.”

41·3 years ago‘We need a lot more’: Lack of firepower hampers Ukraine’s advance on Zaporizhzhia front line As Ukraine’s top army general has put it, every metre of ground in the country’s counteroffensive is being won “with blood”. The Ukrainian soldiers’ progress is particularly gruelling in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region. FRANCE 24’s Gwendoline Debono reports from the front line, where Russian forces are giving Ukraine’s artillerymen no respite.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What Reddit communities do you want most to see "migrate" to Lemmy?
5·3 years agoWould love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers… Also wouldn’t mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.
Never change, Switzerland, never change…
