That presumes people have read the article, and can see the difference in tone.
As a Dane there would be nothing wrong in having a similar tone in an article here. The same goes for many other countries.
Not everything is USA or Anglo-style body shame double standards, where saying boop makes things 21+.
And requires parental warnings more than showing people killing each other.
Could as easily have been a tongue in cheek comment.

For some people sex is a minor thing, what matters is emotional closeness. You can have closeness without sex.
I think you can find someone without too much sex easily, I hear all over the place that men are actually tiring of sex just as much as many women are.
The main difference being that women often think it’s their fault when men don’t want to have sex.

In that case the normal thing to do is to lead with
Narrator: …

Not to make a false quote.
Pretty moronic that I’m downvoted for pointing out it’s not actually a quote of the article.
But apparently the majority of lemmy users don’t give a shit about misleading formats, and will downvote when it’s pointed out.

I don’t give a shit if it’s obvious to the majority, it’s the ones it’s NOT obvious to that count.

You are using quotes, but what are you quoting? Because it’s not from the article that I can see.
Are you quoting yourself?

I agree with the observation, but it’s kind of misleading to post it as a quote.

Hey relax, take it easy now, don’t make crazy demands on Microsoft.
They’ve just recently released Windows 11, and I’m sure they will have it completed soon,
and have all core features broken.

Oh for a moment there I was beginning to doubt the direction of USA.
Well I guess it’s still full steam ahead to dismantle democracy and introduce an authoritarian dictatorship.

Why do you want them to have qualified care?
No give them a MAGA nurse, and tell the nurse it’s a liberal, and let them eat each other.

It’s really disappointing that so many countries don’t help more. The average being only a tenth of Nordic countries per capita!

if it wasn’t desperately needed elsewhere.

That’s kind of the point no?

Absolutely moronic headline, it’s a gigantic straw man argument, as you say nobody wants to pay higher taxes just for fun.
Also it’s an absolutely shit article with near zero content for several full-screen page scrolls on a 32 inch monitor!!

It would make a hell of a lot of sense if Epstein worked for Mossad. It could also explain how Israel continuously has evaded backlash from USA.

I suppose this is the reason Republicans are no longer peddling freedom for the masses, but has switched to fascism.
Fascism is better to control the masses for a while longer, while the rich continue to bleed the country.

The top 10% of earners drive more than 49% of all consumer spending

This is insane, this is like apartheid South Africa, an upper class minority owns and gets and decides everything, while the rest are slaves to a system that only supports the upper class while oppressing the poor and working class, to maintain the status quo.

No what you are describing isn’t even really a politician, but just a demagogue.
A demagogue makes promises to win an election, a politician work to deliver on the promises, and help make things better.

A politician is a person who participates in policy-making processes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politician

Winning an election is only a means to become a politician, not the end.

Politicians make decisions, and influence the formulation of public policy.

Exactly the parts I described as determining whether a politician is good or bad.

A more formal definition:

Politician: 1: a person experienced in the art or science of government especially: one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government. 2a : a person engaged in party politics as a profession.[1]

So contrary to what you claim, not at all about campaigning or election by any definition, but the actual work that is done AFTER an election.

Thanks, that’s an amazing TLDR, and that sounds like a good fit to how it was IMO.
I think her plan to make it easier to buy a house, may have been part of how people thought she just doesn’t get it.

I disagree, he is a terrible politician but an excellent demagogue.
People seem to confuse the idea of getting people to vote for you as the only requirement for being a good politician, but that is definitely not true.
To be a good politician, you need to also be able to improve conditions in the country,and create acceptance of the policies, and as president to be able to cooperate with congress for the good of the country, and to not be corrupt is pretty high up there in requirements too.

I have no idea how anyone can call Trump a good politician???

Oh, so you don’t like my summary of the article you didn’t read

I actually read quite a bit of the article before responding.

For instance her idea that having a gay running mate might be a problem, was in my opinion naive.
It’s like she thinks democratic voters will only vote for the status quo, when they are screaming for change.
But that so typical for many people, they are so obsessed with appearances, that they end up always seeming superficial and shallow and without substance.
Stupid when there was no way she could beat Trump on that aspect.

That does not ring true as the reason why she lost the election.
Trump is absolutely an even worse politician and way more out of touch with reality. But it didn’t matter because so are the people that vote for him.
I think it’s more that she is out of touch with the voters, and they absolutely were on Gaza. Not because they didn’t know, but because Democrats didn’t want to change their policy on Israel.

The above sounds more like your personal opinion than a result of reading the article.

Man that’s a long article.
TLDR anyone?

AFAIK nobody has died in a Waymo, and they have a very low accident rate, lower than human drivers. Calling it a suicide carriage is just not reflecting reality in any way.
