No, if matching your words to your thoughts would hurt someone the correct solution is to change your thinking.

Because for a lot of people posting snark on the internet is more flattering to their ego than advancing the goals of movements they claim to support.

(Yes I amxaware of the irony within this post)

Technically the act passed in 2023 under the Sunak government.

That said; I can't seem to find a vote breakdown and I would not be at all surprised if labour also backed it.

I'm hoping enough public dissatisfaction leads to labour repealing it but I won't hold my breath.

It's supposed to be the sound French people make when they laugh, despite none of the french people I know sounding anything like that.

I think it's part of this weird cultural stereotyping the internet does where someone posts a funny meme with an inaccurate stereotype in it, then a legion of mouth breathers re-post the same meme whenever the nationality in question comes up, then due to repetition people who have never met that nationality thinks its real.

People stopped doing the fake "Ching Chong" false Chinese accent bit ages ago (thank god) but I guess France and the French are still valid targets.

I got one via YouTube, I think I was so shocked to see that wars have pr campagins and advertising spend now that I forgot the actual details.

Theme gist was that Iran developing nuclear weapons was a threat to world stability and isreal was stepping up to do what had to be done etc. etc.

No mention of Islam but given it's a PR campaign I would be surprised if they connected race or religion to their motivation for bombing.

Do you get joy from simple things like eating a nice meal or taking a hot shower on a cold day?

Can you anticipate joy, if you are planning to meet up with friends or watch a movie or read a book; does thinking about the activity lift your mood even a little?

When you think back to happy memories do you feel happy, do you remember what the sensation of happiness felt like?

Not a professional and none of this is diagnostic one way or another, but it's probably worth checking if you have exhausted or outgrown a hobby which just means you need to find more things you enjoy even if it's just to add variety to your week. Or if your ability to feel joy itself is failing, in which case you probably need to a professional

Headline describing a good thing being met with scores of comments explaining how actually this is a bad thing is incredibly prevent all over Lemmy.

I don't know if it's because people feel like cynicism makes them informed or smart or cool, or if it's just the left wing manifestation of "don't believe what the media tells you sheeple" but it's like clockwork.

Coin flip between it just being yet another case of musk lashing out because his ego hurts and him trying to distance himself from the trump admin when the closeness has caused catastrophic damage to his companies brands (too little too late, but still)

Agreed

How do you reverse a chemical castration if it's later revealed the person was wrongfully convicted?

You stop the regimen of drugs and the primary effect ceases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_castration

I'm not arguing for the policy, I think violating someones bodily authority is inherently evil and should not be on the table even as a result of a criminal conviction.

But I think our objections should follow the science, we should object to the harm caused to the (falsely)convicted while on the drugs rather than the permencance of the sentence.

The difference is that chemical castration is typically a course of drugs that alter the body's hormone production while it's being taken to reduce sexual desire/function, when the subject stops taking the drugs the body returns to its natural hormone balance.

Physical mutilation is a one off, permenant, irreversible operation.

The problem is that the term chemical castration is wildly misleading in its attempt to describe the process.

The only series I would consider installing ubisofts launcher for.

The trailer looks really good, it seems like they have made modifiers for island beauty localised rather than island wide which makes sense, now we can benefit from building sperate residential and industrial districts.

Land based combat I think is also new, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, but the lack did always seem like a glaring omission in 1800.

Hopefully they have done away with the influence system or at-least heavily modified it, it felt so bad in 1800 having to pick between ships, island defenses and buildings that allowed you to actually use all the cool items you found.
