Sometimes it feels like certain parts of humanity just didn't really learn all the lessons that they should have from the Holocaust about dehumanizing people.

I'm looking for a vegan sandwich protein recipe that is more of a whole food than the highly processed food that is often found in stores. So far, I'm going to try out lentil patties. I figure I can freeze a batch and stick them in the air fryer as needed. Any other ideas?

Oh yikes, zoonotic pathogens rejoice! We can barely deal with our own poop not making other humans sick.

Is it too much to ask for a car that doesn't spy on me, is reasonably comfortable, is efficient, and maybe has a few extra "smart" features to help me not run into other people? I guess my bike will do for now.

There is, unfortunately, no law against saying you're going to be a power abusing jackass. And the Republicans have decided that if he gets into office, they'll protect him from impeachment and removal no matter what. His lawyers have literally argued that the president can order assassinations of their political rivals.

So no, we're not okay.

The world power needs to understand that it has crossed the line

So showing any backbone is crossing the line? Wow.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks. My thoughts go out to the victims, their families, and the people of Russia. This is just terrible.

On the plus side, no USB-A quantum mechanics.

“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

When Democrats raise red flags about Republicans trying to end democracy, maybe listen, because Republicans aren't hiding it anymore.

It was so frustrating watching some people treat him like he was anything close to a real journalist. He's just the designated propagandist.

Homes, a maternity hospital, a shopping center, and a metro station were hit as part of the attacks. The attack may have been linked to the destruction of a Russian landing ship in Crimea.

A lot of news that comes out about the environment, climate change, and the like is very dispiriting. Has anyone seen a Lemmy community geared towards uplifting stories in the area? Species that are recovering, rivers that are being cleaned up, microbes being developed to eat plastic, that sort of thing.

It's been 17 years since the last election. Assuming only 18 and up could vote, that means only people current around 34 and up could vote. So the bulk of Palestinians didn't even have a chance to vote in that election. Not to mention that they were given the choice between a corrupt faction (Fatah) and a possible less corrupt faction (Hamas).

While the !worldnews@lemmy.ml community has always been a little feisty, the flood of Redditors has turned much of any contentious subject into pure mud slinging. Take the recent post "Ukraine war: Kyiv claims its first victories of counter-offensive". The discussion featured these insults:

  • cia and nafo freaks
  • I don’t think the person you’re responding to has the capacity to realize anything except their own delusions
  • hasn’t achieved reading comprehension
  • tankie
  • fascist
  • gargling Putin's cock
  • weasels
  • So I sincerely ask you to either become a better person or just stfu.
  • loonies
  • Russian dick train
  • willfully obtuse

And that's just half of the page. Seems like it's time to have at least some basic civility rules in place before this community is nothing but personal attacks.
