Nothing to be proud of, Germany. When one of my besties ended up with severe anxiety and depression, she was prescribed St John's Wort instead of proper medication. The anxiety exacerbated her stomach ulcer, the ulcer gave her a heart infection, her reduced immunity gave her pneumonia and she died. She was 35.

I can't stand Germany's Calvinistic approach to medication (same for the Netherlands). Although the US goes too far the other way.

And yes, I could have typed this in German, but it would have taken me half an hour (and I don't trust Google translate).

Maybe they take medication that needs to be refrigerated.

I've trained my cat to clean his backside off the bed. He'll wash himself until he gets to that bit and then jumps off the bed and continues.

I find a cat washing himself very relaxing somehow.

Those "peasants" are responsible for the remaining 60 percent. And since those "peasants" also give these wealthy individuals money by buying useless stuff from them, you could even say that it's higher than that.

The Guardian has a similar misleading article.

The EU is too, there are some German institutions that do too, the Germans were early adopters

The problem is that these things keep multiplying. You can block one instance and then it turns out there's a dozen more.

The problem is that people keep creating new communities with the same name.

Right-wing, bigoted communities shouldn't be allowed to exist. Period.

It's more complicated than that. Latinos in the US also have Native American blood (usually South American). They have a terrible history of persecution. Someone who's from Spain isn't "Latino".

It's also really hard to block everything because there isn't a simple block button available, you have to go into the message and then scroll all the way to the bottom (which is fun when infinite scrolling is switched on).

Well... If I never see a post about tech or a meme again it'll be too soon.

Those pants look so uncomfortable. Permanent wedgie.

Burkinis are great for anyone wanting to protect their skin without reapplying SPF 50 every 2 hours.

The Georgia Indictment (www.pwnallthethings.com)

The indictment is here. I’m going to keep updating this page as I go, so refresh for the latest version. There’s a number of different people getting charged for various sub-schemes within the overall attempt by Trump and his coconspirators to corruptly overturn the Georgia election for President in 2020, so I’ll take them...

Do you have a hat you can eat? He's already violated the terms of his bail by intimidating witnesses and he's still not in jail.

Please post this in News instead. There's far too much of this stuff posted already.

Good Omens graphic novel adapted by Colleen Doran (www.kickstarter.com)

Currently on Kickstarter with the GN priced at £25.plus an estimated £10 P&P. As it is currently on £1.4M raised it is crashing through the stretch goals. With such a talented team and coming from the publishing arm of the Terry Pratchett Estate, it couldn’t have a better pedigree....

Why does it have to be on a Kickstarter? Publishers should be jumping at the chance to publish it.

Why are there so many expensive homes?

I see a lot of expensive houses being built in my area. A LOT. And the weird thing is that they’re being bought pretty quickly. Are these people just making more money than me? If so, what are they doing for a living? Or are they just living house poor? How exactly are they affording these places?...

Where I live they're all bought by investors/landlords.

An ultra right wing populist is usually the worst choice. It's always the fascists who blame the other parties.

He's going to make it worse. Guaranteed. Look at literally every fucking other country run by people like this.

Bargain. They earn much more from violating people's privacy.

So is Harry Potter. And Lord of the Rings. Tropes, bitches.

Here's me thinking I'd left the nuclear shills behind on Reddit. Nuclear is expensive, takes forever to build, and produces unacceptable waste. Renewables are much cheaper and MUCH quicker to implement.

Scotland could provide enough renewable energy for the whole of the UK. The only reason the PM says they need more fossil fuel is that his family entered into a billion pound contract with BP.
