If you eat meat, there's no real reason not to eat haggis. It's no more gross than eating steak or chicken when you get down to the nittygritty of it. It's all animal bits at the end of the day. If you've ever eaten hot dogs, then you've probably eaten far worse "quality" than is in haggis. You'll be surprised how delicious it is! Worst case, you don't like it and don't have it again, but I've yet to meet anyone who didn't enjoy haggis after opening their mind to trying it.
And if you don't eat meat, vegetarian haggis is pretty good too. Not quite The Real McCoy, but not far off.
European democracy has many, many flaws, but compared with Russian dictatorship, it's a utopia. This is a ridiculous take.
Which country is it that invaded its neighbour again? Romania or Russia? Which country is regularly assassinating journalists? Germany or Russia?
What's the point in mining the Moon if we're just gonna leave what's been mined there? Of course it would be removed.
Where did you get that 10% is what would be required to affect the tides? Why don't we just say it's 90% to back your point up even more?
The point is, if allowed, we'll fuck it up like we fuck up every environment. Why must we insist on destroying everything just so some rich people can get richer? Climate change is upon us and instead of acting to prevent it we're looking to do similar destruction elsewhere.
When you look up at the vastness and marvel of space and planetary bodies, are you desperate to see dump trucks, bucket excavators, and orange flashing lights looking back at you?
Until we've mined so much that the ratio of mass between the Earth and the Moon causes tidal changes and eventually the Earth pulls the Moon into the Earth and all life is destroyed. How quickly do you think we can speedrun that?
The industrial revolution was about 150-200 years ago and our planet is dying because of it. Can we beat that record?
Edit: also, who gets dibs on the moon? Something tells me the vast majority of the population won't get a say and mysteriously, somehow, it'll be American mega-corps doing the mining
Just works, sometimes. Other times you'll be left with a blank screen and the need for a second device to search the mint forums. It all depends on the age and support for your hardware.
Don't look up.
You'd rather see nonsense then. You can't dissolve a country. A country doesn't go bust, stop trading, wrap things up and shut down. It may have hyper inflation and gain a poor populace but it cannot shut down. It can always leverage for credit because it will always exist. The terms of credit may be awful but the ability to raise funds somehow is always there. Literally printing money, bonds, government takeover of private institutes, whatever, there's many many many more levers available to a government than other entities.
A country cannot go bankrupt. Therefore the title is bollocks, therefore a downvote and move on is warranted. Even if the content is good, they've spoiled any respectability with the title.
This is exactly why the new lemmy.world rules where moderators should challenge everything instead of removing bad content is bonkers because it encourages nonsense and misinformation.
Countries can't go bankrupt... anyone who puts that in their title is full of shit.
One in five Britons have never lived under a dictatorship and haven't got a fucking clue what they're wishing for.
"The only recourse you'll have" is the whole point. You have no recourse on Reddit. There is no other Reddit server. There are many Lemmy servers, all over the world, with very different views and policies.
