You mean an apprenticeship?

and OP didn't credit it 👀

One thing I have always found weird about the US is how veterans are treated as heroes by default. In Germany if I learn someone is a veteran my most likely response would be something along the lines of "sorry to hear that", not "thank you for your service".

Yes.

Bullshit divisions like this in the political left are why the right keeps winning.

What do you mean with "home"? I have the following feeds: "Subscribed", "Local", "All".

I have sometimes wondered: instead of elections, what if we could register a vote, which we could change any time? This might not have been feasible with paper ballots, but in an age of increasing digitalization, this should work.

I do see the downside though that most coalitions would only last a couple of months as majorities shift.

Another idea: A website where people can directly vote on issues, no representatives needed.

It's too soon to call him your boyfriend but not too soon to move in together?

Reuters is still reporting on the epstein files, so what's wrong?

To answer this question, it is important to understand how oil is used.

1. As a Fuel. Oil holds a lot of energy which can be released by burning it. It is certainly possible to use other power sources (renewable energy, nuclear energy, coal etc.) It is also possible to produce biofuels, which apparently (for now) takes more effort than extracting oil from the ground and producing fuel from that.

2. For extracting chemicals. Many things are actually produced from chemicals extracted from oil, such as plastics. Some of these chemicals may be produced or extracted in other ways, others may not.

I don't see the issue here. AP doesn't obscure Israel's involvement. They simply state the facts, which are that Israel announced an attack, and then an attack followed.

Propaganda would be omitting or inventing information.

I don't think this is specific to lemmy. We generally like to hear people agree with us, and social media allows us to a) find spaces with like-minded people b) block people we don't like from interacting with us

We put ourselves into echo chambers where our assumptions and opinions are never challenged. You might talk about people with different opinions, but rarely to them. Live in that environment long enough, and you stop to question your convictions, and become increasingly incapable of articulating why you hold them, or to consider the perspective of 'the opponent'.
