Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.

query,

Yeah, it’s not a happy show.

Stargate SG-1, despite the tragic backgrounds of some of the leads, well, we see one plot unfold in the pilot, is one of the more fun and positive sci-fi shows around.

query,

They say if you don’t pay, you’re the product, but that’s obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.

query,

And GOG. They used to have several games up there, and then delisted them.

query,

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

query,

I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it’s theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they’d be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google’s, I mean.

query,

Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

I imagine they’re banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

query,

The AIs are the ones gaslighting.

query,

we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.

And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.

query,

It’s only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There’s nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.

query,

Russia really should reconsider whether it’s worth parking their fleet in a foreign country.

query,

Such a waste not supporting nuclear power since decades ago.

Shouldn’t have renewable energy targets, but deadlines for shutting down all coal power plants, then oil, and production of fossil fuel vehicles, then a cap on the amount of natural gas that can be used.

query,

Pay them more, entice more people to work, less workload per teacher.

query,

Is killing the point? Just make it all better. Get rid of DRM and subscriptions to play your own games, let people use LAN and their own servers for multiplayer.

Zelensky: No way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned (archive.ph)

Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very...

query,

That’s a weird thing to say. I’d be more worried about whether the refugees will want to go back after the war, to help rebuild the country, or stay in their new lives. As refugees, they may or may not have a choice, but on the other hand, countries might want the skilled workers. The longer the war goes on, the more established they could become elsewhere.

Biden says global warming topping 1.5 degrees in the next 10 to 20 years is scarier than nuclear war (www.cnbc.com)

What Biden has done is to cut the issuance of drilling leases to the minimum required by law, pass the Inflation Reduction Act, enact a regulation to force vehicle electrification, and similarly force fossil fuels out of most power plants....

query,

Of course. Climate change is happening, and will keep getting worse until all the biggest countries agree to do and actually go through with doing something substantial about it (or to fully isolate the economies of those that refuse). Nuclear war is just an idea.

query,

There’s also more freshwater in Antarctica than in the rest of the world. Quite a waste, and enough of it to contaminate every source across the planet.

query,

Right, we need net zero emissions, no further destruction of nature, and then we can start doing something to undo what we’ve already done.

query,

Only need term limits for non-proportional systems, like the one seat for president. If Congress was proportional to the national vote, term limits is just an unnecessary complication.

query,

It’s not, though. This is lemmy.ml, the OP is from lemmy.ca.

query,

Apu was one of my favorite characters, and next to the rest of Springfield I wouldn’t say he was portrayed as any kind of bad guy. But I think it’s entirely fair to find fault with him and the stereotypes used.

The “This is why we can’t have nice things” guys are the ones who use this type of character to mock people of Indian descent. Having heard about their experiences, I would say that the bare minimum that should be done is involve someone from the community you’re portraying, when creating a character who stands out as someone of that community.

query,

This is the intended outcome of their actions. They’d rather get rid of useful things than allow a society that says it’s fine for people to be who they are, because the overall purpose is to make people suffer.

query,

I think the main issue with this is that pronunciation changes over time, in addition to varying by area. So if we keep changing the spelling, written works will became unreadable faster.

But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.

query,

Yes, a whole lot of people work hard, and don’t get meaningfully compensated for it. But it’s not about people on small amounts of welfare vs. the working poor (who also might be on welfare), that’s not where you’re going to find the wealth that’s been stolen.

query,

Although “pro-lifers” don’t care about providing even for fetuses. They’re not investing in healthcare, they’re shutting down everything they can that is associated with abortion, which is mainly the people who actually care and the field of medicine that deals with pregnancy.
