The etymology follows the drive-in which is basically a big parking lot you drive in to, do your ordering/eating/movie watching in your car, and then you drive out. And when you don’t stop in the middle of a drive in, but instead you continue through it, in your car, it became a drive through.

The pedantic term is a drive-up, btw.

Nudity, gore, violence - explicit materials. Stuff you wouldn’t be allowed to plaster on a giant billboards in the middle of the city or on the side of your office building or have run on daytime TV in the breakroom. If an image of a clothed female is NSFW then obviously a man wearing nothing but a towel in a shower is as well.

You start making a list of everything everyone takes offence into and finds inappropriate and you end up with a list with literally everything on it. Some people in this thread have used “If I couldn’t use it as a wallpaper at work, it should be NSFW”. Plenty of people would find this picture absolutely disgusting and inappropriate, so should it and everything like it be NSFW tagged as well?

If the NSFW limit was put on “image of a woman wearing shorts and sports bra”, would you run to shut down the break room TV when they showed such obscene NSFW things like the Olympic games with their skimpy track and field and beach volleyball outfits? All of those communities would obviously need to be marked NSFW on Lemmy too.

And while NSFW indeed does come from the words “Not safe for work”, it isn’t “blur everything that wouldn’t be appropriate for my coworkers or boss to see me browse during work time”.
Getting caught watching episodes of My Little Pony would be pretty inappropriate and embarrassing during working hours as well.

Victim surcharge is just a fine with another name.
It goes to a fund that pays compensation for victims of crimes and £154 is just what you have to pay for any crime that results in you getting a jail sentence of 6 months or below.

There isn’t one.
There probably really has never been one after the initial “three day” special military operation failed - the entire war is a massive exponential sunk-cost fallacy with the need for Russia to win simply because Putin cannot afford to give up or lose after all the losses the war has caused.

Hm. I would be interested to learn why, exactly. If it has terrible methodology, why is it constantly referenced and why hasn’t a better one been done since then?
Or is there a better one that nobody just uses?
And how should the data look, because most of every other source I can find also agrees that beef is the worst (or possibly on the second spot after lamb) as it comes to CO2 per kg.

First step: just eat less beef.

Even that alone is enough to make a quite decent impact.

The Northern Europe.
Because Belgium and the other countries mentioned are not in Northern Europe.

At best they can be said to be in the north of continental europe, and even there you got people who would argue that term includes Scandinavia and you are back to square one.

…while flying in a helicopter introduced in 1968 and last manufactured in 1998 in a country that is sanctioned and most likely can’t reliably get spare parts for it.

Hopefully they can make use or get rid of it fast, as the upkeep with these superyachts can be ridiculously expensive, and if you slack on it, you’ll quickly end up with an even bigger repair bill or just a worthless pile of scrap.

The Amadea costs the US government almost $1 million a month for example.

The public votes for one thing, and the “professional” jury selects someone entirely different -Switzerland came fifth, but won.

But not why our clothes are so “cheap”. If you have never checked AliBaba, you just can’t understand what kind of price points we are talking about. Printed T-shirts for $0.39. Hot pots for $3.70. USB hubs with HDMI out for $2.90. The list goes on and on.

A $10 T-shirt, 25x more than wholesale, could go up to $10.80 and you would hardly notice, but that would mean the worker could be paid three times as much for making it. Instead, the worker gets paid nothing, the manufacturer gets paid peanuts, and whoever is reselling them to us takes in 90% of the profit.

Often it is, but the death penalty isn’t the only thing affecting it - if it did, USA would not be at such a high of a spot for intentional homicides (#55) as most states have the death penalty as well.

For reference, Japan is at spot 196 out of 207 when you sort by victims per 100000 inhabitants.

Which also results in very few people getting the death penalty - just 3 people were executed in 2022, and none last year. US executed 18 and 24.

The system in Japan is… Let’s say “interesting”. You get sentenced to death, but you might still sit in prison for years or even decades until one morning they carry it out with no warning, so you’ll live the rest of your life not knowing if each day is your last or not.

I almost agree, as there are only very few crimes, and in absolutely certain circumstances, where I think a death sentence would be appropriate. As an example, cases like Anders Breivik.

Ukraine had one of the largest nuclear weapon stockpiles when the USSR broke with around 1900 warheads and 4000 tactical nuclear weapons. They de-weaponized themselves and got rid of them all.

And how’d exactly that go for them, hm?

It is accurate. There have been four school shootings in total in the history of Finland - Raumanmeri, Jokela, Kauhajoki and now this.

Neo-Nazi radical Islamists being lead by a “peculiar kind of Jew”, apparently.

We all know how the Russians treat the areas and civilians that they capture though, so they are hoping someone else will protect them from that fate, so they don’t have to. If it ends up that there weren’t enough people to do it, they will end up hoping they’d helped defend it too, but at that point it will be too late.

And anything you write or upload to Lemmy should be considered permanent, as it immediately spreads throughout all the instances and they actually don’t have to respect edits or removals. And if instances defederate from each other then they simply can’t, as they don’t sync those requests any more - if Lemmy.World decided to defederate from Sopuli, this message would become permanent and I could not do anything about it.

Also, this who saga about the uploaded ID picture.
