Will they be influenced by foreign media instead? Great plan.

“Stop selling such tasty meat! I have to eat it all!”

I thought this was a USAmerican headline, but it’s the UK 🤣 There will be another spike in VPN purchases, won’t there? (Probably Proton VPN if people haven’t read about their pro-MAGA stance).

Yeah, fuck your children and their offspring! Come to think about it, fuck the next generations, they deserve the climate wars, amirite?

Consumers: doesn’t matter, have to buy that new gadgets the influencer told me to buy!

Companies: doesn’t matter if the products are being bought, will continue to pollute, baby!

Both: why should I change my ways?

This involves pushing carbon into wells to force out the hard-to-reach remnants of oil — allowing fossil fuel companies to extract even more from aging oil fields.

Yeah, pure greenwashing.

What the fuck is wrong with Israeli leaders?

Is this really the CEO of proton? Is there a link to the tweet?

France: hard on for drugs!

The report noted changing attitudes have contributed to cocaine’s spread, with the drug now being seen as more familiar and less dangerous than two decades ago.

And yet, they won’t vote for legalisation. Big brain moments.

It’s just a dumb idea that sounds edgy that you haven’t really thought through.

I was ready to engage until this sentence. I know now that you’re just going to waste my time.

Again, if they do, they won’t be able to declare another home as their primary residence. So, sure, your daughter can declare your holiday home as her primary residence, but then her landlord in Madrid will get in trouble and as we all know: shit rolls downhill. The landlord will pass the fine on to your daughter. And if she is the landlord, good job, she’ll have to pay the fine directly.

Sweet!

Great. Would you be willing to declare your primary residence at another dwelling you don’t live in just to help out a friend? Do you expect that to be an easy thing to do every month in order to trick the system? Do you think the landlord of the residence you’re living in would simply lie down and take a fine if they know you’ve signed a contract to live there and declare it as your primary residence?

How does the state know which house you occupy / where you live?

So the police is killing them, got it.

Just make it so the dwelling has to be occupied by the owner for 9-10 months a year. Every month it is unoccupied, the owner has to pay the value of a monthly rent as tax multiplied by the number of months it has been unoccupied -->

month 1 = rent x 1 month 2 = rent x 2 month 3 = rent x 3

I think that’ll be hard to ignore for most landlords - foreign or not.

Reduce taxes on the rich and increase it on everybody else except businesses. I’m sure that’ll help. /s

Veracity of news is important though. Some random person claiming Gandi rapes kids would carry much less weight than @brandy@bbc.com saying so. “News” from some mastodon.social account would (hopefully) get more scrutiny.

That’s why institutions should be on mastodon, not bluesky. @user@social.someinstitution.com is much more recognizable than whatever bluesky has.
