They claim to be sure for various reasons but all the article provides is that she often appears next to her dad and has started speaking her mind sometimes.

The first one could simply be because Kim wants to take his daughter around now as a family man. The second one could simply be that she's old enough now to start engaging with politics. She certainly would be trained for politics at some level.

Some highlights:

In North Korea ( :yeonmi-park: ), where photos published by the state media are believed to carry a great symbolic weight, it is rare for individuals other than Kim Jong Un to be positioned equally prominently in the frame.

Same people that thought Xi having two teacups was a "power play", just orientalism.

She is often seen wearing her hair long, which is forbidden for her peers, and wearing designer clothes, which are out of reach for most in her country.

Still on about the haircuts? Also where are designer clothes not out of reach for most people, let alone a country that has to deal underhanded because of sanctions?

Many defectors and analysts had previously dismissed the idea of a woman leading North Korea as an unlikely scenario, referring to the country's entrenched traditional gender roles.

Hell Joseon has had a female president ffs

“Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, western countries — under the threat of withholding loans — have imposed unacceptable control over Ukraine’s state institutions, state-owned banks, and monopolies, undermining the country’s sovereignty. This is cruel and unjust toward a nation at war,” she said during an interview at the offices of her party, Batkivshchyna, or Fatherland.

The westerners, who include a senior official at the UK’s National Audit Office, are able to vote together to veto potential appointees [advisory groups that select candidates for appointment to Ukraine’s Constitutional Court, High Council of Justice, State Customs Service, State Bureau of Investigation and its Accounting Chamber, as well as anti-corruption agencies] and their votes carry more weight than the Ukrainian experts in the event of a tie. As a rule, there are six members in the commissions — three foreigners and three Ukrainians. Such international oversight, Tymoshenko said, may have been appropriate in countries such as Afghanistan, Liberia and Sierra Leone, but not in Ukraine.

I'm ace and while I do look at horny images from time to time, full-on pornography or sexually explicit talk still grosses me out, I sometimes feel prudish or childish about that as a result.

I feel in a weird place when all this talk is made about normalising sex while being sex-negative, I don't want to push my preferences on all of society, y'know?

Whenever I personally referenced the "volcel poIice" meme it was intended to be lighthearted, a friendly reminder that it got weird in a way that could give a chuckle.

Bismuth-209 was long thought to have the heaviest stable nucleus of any element, but in 2003, a research team at the Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale in Orsay, France, discovered that 209Bi undergoes alpha decay with a half-life of 20.1 exayears (2.01×1019, or 20.1 quintillion years), over 109 times longer than the estimated age of the universe.

Due to its hugely long half-life, for all known medical and industrial applications, bismuth can be treated as stable.

Kinda funny when they say the rally took place in a "rainy Taipei" meanwhile the stock photo shows it being sunny.

Previous minimum price deals agreed by the EU have been for homogenous commodities, rather than complex products such as cars. The Commission has said it believes a single minimum price would not be adequate to counter injury caused by subsidies.

"Injury caused by subsidies" lmao

From what I can tell a lot of Israelis are anxious about having a "Jewish nose", so combine that with general social media toxicity and the bougie, superficial nature of Israeli society and you get a relatively high number of "nose jobs", though plastic surgery in general is prevalent too.

So they kind of become a representative of the superficial and toxic nature of Israeli society and its defeatist, ass-backwards approach to antisemitism.

First a call-out of fatphobia (https://hexbear.net/post/4189552) that ended up proving its point, then the stuff about "he/hims" (https://hexbear.net/post/4187781) ". Apparently a mod got banned!?

I am not very active and I never look at the megathreads, the number of comments in them scare me away from them. Is that where it's happening? I feel confused about what this community is like now.

I, uh, don't really know what my point is. Maybe someone can explain what the state of the site is? Especially on the he/hims thing. Maybe that's the main point of this post.

I feel sad for people that got hurt by this.

I was diagnosed at a young age and this isn't new, but I have become more and more frustrated with it: getting to do something often happens slow. In the gym my exercises are often interrupted by many minutes of getting stuck in my head, being distracted.

People talk about how it's okay to take breaks but I sometimes lose HOURS at home because I just don't do anything and it isn't resting either because my head keeps churning without a goal. I call it a limbo between activity and resting. Sometimes my phone or another means of distraction is to blame, but other times it's just anxiety to do something because "is this the best use of my time?" (in general I often have time anxiety)

It drives me crazy because I will have a plan of things to do that's totally reasonable and achievable, but then I only achieve a small part of it because I keep wasting so much time, I then procrastinate on the rest. This mainly affects activities/plans I've set myself, those set by others let me just obey and not have to overthink as much.

Does anyone else relate and can they share means of dealing with it?

On my phone especially, when I play a audio or video file, it will sometimes cut the audio for the first second or so. I have found online that it's a persistent issue with no fix and the developers haven't done anything about it. Do others have this issue and are there alternative media players I can use that don't have issues?

As a history fact, Iranian Azerbaijan (which includes the provinces of East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan and Ardebil, sometimes Zanjan province is also included for being majority Azeri) is the OG Azerbaijan, with the modern country of Azerbaijan having historically referred to by other names:

The name Azerbaijan was first adopted for the area of the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan by the government of Musavat in 1918, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, when the independent Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was established. Until then, the designation had been used exclusively to identify the adjacent region of contemporary northwestern Iran, while the area of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was formerly referred to as Arran and Shirvan. On that basis Iran protested the newly adopted country name.
