Also, everything else aside, not until they stop doping all their fucking athletes.

"You can go on slaughtering civilians, but only for a few more days, then enough is enough ok?"
What I hear some acquaintances say is like "who cares, I'll go to the beach, turn the AC on, what's the big deal" .
As if the floods we had in Italy this year, or the wild fires, or the storms, or the draughts, or the Alps without snow, the glaciers disappeared, the sea turned green, the invasion of jellyfish weren't connected.
Some people, most people, are just too fucking stupid.
In theory I'd agree with you. I don't mind reading of nuances or different opinions than mine.
In general however, conservative media are worthless piece of shit embarrassments that I don't want to waste time on.
There's a difference between discussing with sometime with a different opinion, and stopping in the middle of the road responding to every deranged, mentally challenged ignorant mean crack addict who yells their vision of the world from the top of a soap box.
Not to be a dick but if they don't like it they could do something about it themselves. Hoping that "the world will do something" rarely has good results.
All good but I'd just like to point something out.
When you boil pasta you're actually hydrating it, and it's a process that occurs above 80C, you don't need water to be boiling savagely.
In fact, it's preferable to let pasta simmer, as full boiling is a bit too "violent" and tends to damage most kinds of pasta.
You know, when some pieces are broken and torn like when it's overcooked? You can avoid that by keeping the temperature low.
Some people in Italy even turn the fire off after the water has started boiling ,as the water is hot enough to cook the pasta and keep it nice and firm.
Fucking hell in the picture he had the same face my grandma had when we were trying to teach her how to record stuff on her vcr.
"And this, Mr President, is how you launch you browser".
"Launch? Like, missiles?"
I'm shocked, who would have thought that no gun control whatsoever could result in gun deaths.
I'm a professional concept artist. The worst thing you could say in our field is actually "let's draw something together":)
Design by committee results in abominations 99.99% of the times.
I'd say let just people draw stuff if they want and then we pick the best.
Your well thought and well written post will likely land on deaf ears.
In my experience, evidence, logical arguments and simple common sense are completely ineffective with the kind of people who think "drugs bad and that's it" and are convinced that more War on Drugs is the solution. Despite the fact that all the evidence around us shows that it's not.
After 12 years in the UK I'm going out on a limb and say the answer is "they eat like shit".
A shocking amount of my former colleagues refused to eat veggies or fruit. I mean, ANY kind of veggies.
I couldn't wrap my head around that. No wonder they have a shorter life span, what do you expect?
Ah also: they drink like fucking sailors on leave all days of the week.
I find "scientific" articles that use Fahrenheit to be quite bizarre.
Jesus christ you're a moron.
It's a slippery slope. Soon they'll have two separate queues, and one of them will be called "fatties".
It's taught in schools, and anyway, you're glossing over the fact that the poster above proved your claim wrong (Germans are all uncomfortable with their history), which is just plain false.
Well an anti vaxxer supported by a racist fuck, what a beautiful campaign.
Pisa is notoriously shit during the summer, it's in the middle of a valley and a big slow river runs through it. The humidity in Pisa is insane, and mosquitoes are active 24/7.
My sister lives there and I refuse to visit from June to September.
That's not true at all, Germans make a big effort in remembering what they did and making sure it keeps being remembered.
As opposed to my country, Italy, where the attitude after the fall of Mussolini was "uh, oh well".
I'm in Italian, and to be honest it makes no fucking sense in our language either.
There's also to take into consideration the fact that people experience dips of productivity throughout the day. Like, I'd never be able to start something that requires most of my brain power after 3.
For others it's early morning.
So, when I was in the office I would just kill time, go on coffee breaks or just do fucking nothing until it was time to go home, and I know for a fact that it was like that for most of my colleagues.
No one works 8 hours straight out of an 8 hours work day. Working from home just removes the torture of sticking around looking busy.
I actually complete from home the same amount of tasks I used to at the office, really, because my productivity (and that of others) wasn't constant there either.
You know, for one reason or another I won't bother you with I'm still in the WhatsApp group of my childhood friends.
They're a bunch of dicks, and tbh were I to meet them today I'd avoid them like the plague, but a couple of people in there are actual friends, so I stick around.
Anyway, the humour in the chat is that of many WhatsApp groups, jokes about women, sex and so on.
Boomers humour, so to speak, even though we're all X-Gen.
Sadly, 80% are jokes about gays, which can get fairly nasty at times.
A couple of weeks ago I actually said "hey, how come you guys always joke about gays and trans? Like, all the time? You know who does that? Closeted homosexuals".
Then I linked a few articles of random gay-bashing Republicans who were caught fiddling kids and were forced to admitting being gay.
"Rings a bell?"
I haven't seen a gay joke in the group since.
Bollocks, you're talking about your anecdotal impression while repeating the government false selling points without data to back yours or their statements.
Italy is 14th in Europe by ratio of immigrants compared to the resident population. Link. So, it's not that immigrants infested hellhole you picture.
"Secondo Eurostat, al 1º gennaio 2017 l'Italia era il quarto Paese dell'U.E. per popolazione immigrata, ovvero nata all'estero, con 6,1 milioni di immigrati, dopo Germania (12,1 milioni), Regno Unito (9,3 milioni) e Francia (8,2 milioni), appena davanti alla Spagna (6,0 milioni)[2]. Per numero di stranieri (inclusi gli apolidi) in percentuale rispetto al totale della popolazione residente, l'Italia si classificava al quattordicesimo posto (su 28) nell'Unione Europea (con l'8,3% di immigrati sul totale della popolazione). "
Crime in Italy is decreasing FAST. In this chart you can see how it went from the 90s. And it's still one of the safest countries in Europe and in the world.
Italy crime rate & statistics for 2021 was 0.51, a 6.78% increase from 2020.
Italy crime rate & statistics for 2020 was 0.48, a 9.74% decline from 2019.
Italy crime rate & statistics for 2019 was 0.53, a 11.49% decline from 2018.
Italy crime rate & statistics for 2018 was 0.60, a 4.31% decline from 2017.
Edit: let's paste another bit:
"Italy has a lower per capita rate of rape than most of the advanced Western countries in the European Union.[14]
According to Police authorities data, the rate of sexual assaults per 100,000 inhabitants is significantly higher in the Northern region than in the Southern ones. In 2009, Lombardia and Emilia Romagna were the regions with the highest rate of sexual offences per 100.000 inhabitants (9.7); followed by Trentino Alto Adige and Tuscany (9.5); Piedmont and Liguria (8.6); Umbria (8.4). In this respect, all major Southern regions like Sicily (6.8); Calabria (6.5); Apulia (6.2); Campania (6,0) were the safest in the national territory, with the only exception of Friuli Venezia Giulia (5.1) in the North.[15] "
/edit
Nonetheless, since Meloni's went to power, illegal landings have almost doubled, in face of her promises of being this iron wall against immigration.
The EU IS doing a big part in handling the problem, I can tell you from first hand experience since my wife works in a center for underage immigrants. We're getting a HUGE amount of money from the EU to handle them, both in food, education and everything needed.
Thing is (and, again, this is from first hand experience), those funds are available upon request, and in the vast majority of cases local councils fail to apply for them. This is either because they're not aware of them, they don't have technicians specialized in these kind of legal procedures and bids, they fail to put in practice the requirements and all that.
So, again, incompetence has a big part. And guess what. What Salvini did recently was to make it almost impossible for immigrants to acquire work permits, in a show of "toughness".
The result is that you have a bunch of people already in the country who would be perfectly happy to do legally all the stuff Italians don't want to do (like working in the fields in the summer, cleaning etc, and can not.
So they end up in the streets.
The situation is complex, simplifying it into "my city is full of black raping people and the EU does nothing" is beyond ignorant.
Yes.
If anything, traffic lights have often cameras, and they don't give a shit if it's night or not..
Dude, two different countries ffs.
Man have you heard of Uber? If one has an emergency there are solutions to your convoluted example, you know.
Why should anyone give half a fuck about what China thinks of what they should do in their own countries?
I hope the French politely told then to go fuck themselves.
Bloody hell it really does.
TIL people who prompt image generators are also called artists.
I think it would be super awkward if you've been widowed.
I mean, you're supposed to meet everyone again, including your former spouses who had been waiting for you.
Fucking hell, they are the most alien looking animals on the planet, they're amazing.
Sorry what's a boomer shooter?😳
I never use the term "shithole country". First because, I don't know, it's often used to address poor African countries, and those in particular are fucked because of direct consequences of Western policies and colonialism.
Second, because it was used by fucking Trump and I'd rather not.
But Russia really is a shithole country, Jesus. A grim, evil, arrogant, fucked up, good for nothing shithole country.
Any Russian officer when promoted to a position of power: "aw FUCK".
The CEO should be hanged by the balls, just one disastrous decision after another, what an incompetent moron.
Yep, I work in games and this year has been fucking brutal.
Most of my contacts/acquaintances on Linkedin are "between jobs".
Luckily I have some freelancing set up, but this thing is killing me. It's not easy to find another (remote) job when half the people in the industry are competing with you.
Yeh the difference being that Palestinians are the oppressed and Israeli the oppressors.
It's the narrow thought process of one who has always lived in the she spot, I would imagine.
Lol what the hell are you on about, you must be a troll.
Yeh I'm sure it's an isolated episode and not a widespread attitude among settlers.
Also, this seems like a much, MUCH better PR move than throwing paint at masterpieces in fucking museums.
I don't know who thought that was something that would have moved the public opinion towards their cause.
