Immoral and irresponsible to say the least
I don't want to ruin your day, but China might have a monopoly on those.
I agree with you on the not going along with russian bots and giving space to their propaganda. I'm not pointing to wether you should be concerned of what is happening within the United states, but about what is happening between the us and it's allies. This split is not caused by russian bots online, but by the current us government. I agree Russia is likely involved, but the answer in not staying quiet. You can call this echoing anti-American propaganda, but dismissing it as such makes you vulnerable to tolerating this split happening as opposed to moving against it.
There hasn't been much press freedom in Turkey for years now, so it's not like yesterday was better time to be alive or smth
EU seeking talented scientists amid US funding woes March 24, 2025
Science ministers from 13 countries in Europe are calling on the European Union to offer a home to researchers affected by the Trump Administration’s cuts. They have written to EU research and innovation commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva asking her to organize a welcome “for brilliant talents from abroad who might suffer from research interference and ill-motivated and brutal funding cuts.” (via: https://www.bioworld.com/articles/718598-eu-seeking-talented-scientists-amid-us-funding-woes)
What's the name of that country in the middle of the Netherlands?? Can't seem to remember.
Talking to others about the things I'm anxious about, not just before or after the fact but also while I'm anxious about something.
Reminding myself it's ok to be me, it's ok to feel anxious and that I didn't choose to be anxious and am not to blame for my anxiety.
Taking moments during the day to just breathe, follow a guided meditation or write down my thoughts. It makes me feel calm which makes the anxiety much more bearable.
I didn't reply to you because of how evil the USA is or isn't but because I wanted to stress to you how big the change is that is happening. I assume you're American and dislike anti-American opinions, I'm fine with that. I also don't like it when people don't like my country or my people. This is not personal, I'm not anti you. But I do think you are wrong that these travel updates are just a social media hype. The friendship between US and other western countries is under severe pressure, that is not just an opinion.
Would be a lot better if these were public cases with public hearings, I agree. I believe they do their research like a detective would, and then decide for themselves wether EU citizens were hurt and if so what percentage of the company would scare them enough to change their behaviour. There are laws on the maximum penalty and such, but weirdly enough these antitrust cases never seem very transparent to me.
These warnings are what ministries of foreign affairs (= government officials) give out to their citizens. Newsweek is neither based in Norway nor written in Norwegian (it's US-based), so saying it looks like something based on this single source isn't adding much weight to your argument.
Extra context from the second paragraph: "President Donald Trump's latest attack on the working class was delivered in the form of an executive order late Thursday that seeks to strip the collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of federal government workers, a move that labor rights advocates said is not only unlawful but once again exposes Trump's deep antagonism toward working people and their families."
It's not like there is only the option of 'no warning' and 'a warning'. These government warn people because they foresee a potential danger for their citizens. What makes this a big deal is that these warnings come from countries who are allies and used to have similar values. The fact that they don't believe you are safe is one thing, but they basically also say they can't use their diplomatic means to keep you safe and that really is imho why this is a very serious sign that the global order is shifting.
In general these warnings are not only for lgbtqi+ folk, but also for scientists and critical journalists. Think of other countries where those people aren't safe, they are not western democracies like the US used to be.
It's not a 1v1 fight, the consequences are for all citizens..
No i think it's more of a commission/ institute that fines them.
Well they will need them when it becomes time to defend Greenland.
+1 on the do it slowly, I've also taken it as an opportunity to sort the emails coming in; unsubscribe what I no longer wish to receive and changing my adress on the (automated) emails i do want to get. Changing login credentials has been a bit of a hassle but I'm using a password managet which does make it a lot easier to 'remember' logins. The process is easier than I expected, but maybe because it's not taking much time each week. Almost all personal mail still goes to my old address, so still have to cross that bridge though.
O maybe I should've wrote it the other way around lol: I never like something dubbed, always prefer subbed.
I don't think i've enjoyed something more dubbed than subtitled
