What's with the obscurity in the title?

Heriot Watt University.

Call them by their name. Name and shame them.

Heriot Watt University care more for weapons manufacturers, whose weapons are used to commit genocide, than they do their own students.

Heriot Watt University are therefore pro genocide.

Heriot Watt University.

Why waste money subsidising the car industry when they could invest that money in proper public transport?

Fucking new Labour.

EVs are better than ICE cars but they're still shit for the environment and for society. Electric buses, trains, trams, and good cycle paths do a much better job for the environment, the mass transit of people, and for social cohesion. Fuck.

But why? News agencies can do that if they wish, for the viewers, but why would a government agency releasing video evidence touch it up in any way? That's just asking for questions.

Controversial opinion but you should have the right to hate bigoted arseholes for being bigoted arseholes. As long as they're bigoted arseholes I don't see the problem.

Governments and others with power are constantly finding new ways to suppress protest and silence critical voices. Global trends towards the militarization of police, the increase in the misuse of force by police at protests and shrinking civic space mean that it is becoming more difficult to stay safe while making your voice heard.

The way police and other state authorities engage with protesters has become increasingly militarized since the early 2000s. Militarization is happening in many ways, including the deployment of armed military forces to suppress protests and supplying police with equipment like armoured vehicles, military-grade aircraft, surveillance drones, guns and assault weapons, stun grenades and sound cannons.

Military forces are organized, trained and equipped for war and defence and have no place at a protest, where police should be trained in de-escalation, mediation and keeping people safe.

Governments try to justify this disproportionate escalation in the use of force by painting protesters as a threat to public safety, but in truth, these tactics are ultimately a way to intimidate people into silence.

Aldi is better at pumping every product with palm oil and making knock off branded products

Lidl is better at having a chaotic middle that never gets tidied

Europe@feddit.org is the problem in this scenario, although Lemmy.world does have its own issues. The mods lock posts about Israel or Palestine preventing anybody from commenting

Somebody was paid money for this.

Somebody was paid cold hard cash money to come up with this idea.

Somebody was paid money to approve this.

Somebody was paid money to create and record this.

Somebody was paid money to write this ludicrous story.

Somebody was paid money to edit this ludicrous story.

And it's the poors and immigrants that are to blame for the failings of this country?

I can, mental health services in this country are shit and taboo. But being autistic doesn't excuse being a deviant arsehole.

Pulling down a colleague's trousers and then going "it's because I'm autistic!" only solidifies that he's an arsehole, trying to hide his actions behind a label that he thinks now makes him untouchable.

Concessions and understanding should be shown to autistic people. Sudden changes in plans, for example, may cause a strong emotional reaction that "neurotypicals" wouldn't experience, but it doesn't mean autistic people are free to completely do as they wish without repercussions

Actually, what am I saying? Yes, it should allow autistic people to be above the law! Brb, I've got a left wing government to install, nobody can stop me!

Cunt joins group of cunts as senior cunt

Nextcloud Office is just Libre Office via Collabora though...

To save those, like me, that don't know what Zapruder is, a search:

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/make-a-complaint

Ofcom confirmed that there had been complaints about Lewis Schaffer’s comments, but because there were less than 50, it was unable to say how many.

Ffs, those numbers are far too low. In a country of 69 million people. I guess it's time I go and write a complaint. And if you're in the UK and outraged by this story, you should too.

If you don't, your silence only encourages similar "jokes"

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" and all that

What's the reasoning for mandatory voting?

As someone from the northern reaches of Europe. "Bizarre folks, these Christians! Can't trust 'em!" turned out to be very true.

Teachings of peace, love, and charity, delivered at the end of a blade. Assimilate or die became their modus operandi.

A strange bunch.

Generally I disagree with most calls for defederation because I didn't join Lemmy to join an echo chamber. We're all enriched by diversity of thought and opinion. Even if we disagree with those thoughts and opinions. And playing "which account has access to which servers?" is an annoying game to play. Defederation should, in my opinion, be the last resort that a server takes.

But this instance is bot spam, it's not enriching the Fediverse but homogenising it with Reddit.

So no objections from me, good call flamingos!
