The interesting thing is that nobody is allowed to forge your passport or ID card and it is illegal to steal your identity, but you are not granted data sovereignty.

So we don't have the right to see all the data of everyone here, for example the boss of Toyota, their movements, their driving behaviour and so on. .... was a joke, which of course was also meant for the tech industry.

mod

If you had the choice, it would be nice to have the choice to sell your data yourself, or simply not make it usable and therefore not sell it.

No, you don't have data sovereignty, it's the gold of the present and the future to make us look at even more crap. To make us a tailor-made offer in our data bubbles.

You're driving on the motorway and suddenly your smartphone, controlled by the car and other factors, tells you to drive out of here because there's exactly the food you like so much, or you get a crappy insurance rate because your car has transmitted your driving behaviour to the insurance company.

The data octopuses create professional behavioural profiles and you really have the illusion of being free when you are so predictable and predictable. The wolves know what the sheep are doing and even make money from them without pulling the wool over their eyes.

mod

It needs to be established internationally at the UN that personal data belongs to the individual and that you have to ask them if they want to sell it.

I don't know of any company that would give up their data if they didn't have to, and it's just data!

They all cast about for customer data, citizens.... in order to be able to calculate them in the good case they just want to sell something in the bad case they use your behaviour against you..... social scoring in China this is how you control sheep that could become dangerous to the wolf.

The best thing is that almost the app we use sucks our data and we even voluntarily allow this because we are simply too lazy to read the small print and to configure the rights accordingly, which said, no, only technically necessary data nothing more.

Those who inform themselves are in a position to make good decisions!

Those who vote have a voice, don't let them take it away from you.

One voice is silent, but a million is not!

Democracy needs citizens to strengthen it, and that means having a voice. VOTE

The living wear the dead for display. This assertion is profound in its simplicity. When viewed in isolation, the garments appear to have no intrinsic meaning. However, when considered within the context of cultural traditions, their significance becomes evident.

Death is important in many cultures except in modern society where it has degenerated into a nice fashion item.

Kimono (Kosode), Japan, 1840-1860

‘In a convent, the mother superior was dying. The other nuns wanted to offer her something to drink. But the mother superior refused a glass of water. Now they tried a glass of milk, with the same result. A nun then suggested adding a little whiskey to the milk, perhaps that would help. The dying woman actually drank the glass. Shortly afterwards, she was approaching death and her subordinates asked her what her last wish was. She replied: ‘Whatever you do, never sell this cow’.’

Now her groom* has recounted a hilarious joke that Elizabeth II told him during a ride with her beloved pony Emma.

*Well, does the man have to market his podcast now, or is he back to being the groom of Emma, the late Queen's favourite pony?

In the Rosebud podcast, Terry Pendry tells how the Queen, now 96 and frail, could not resist riding her favourite pony, Emma.

Well you old and frail normal citizens, if you can afford a place in a nursing home at all, always dream of how the super rich nice queen paid by the people was put frail by the nice staff on her favourite pony Emma while you lie in bed and nobody comes round to take you to the toilet.

What a beautiful performance while you wet yourself.

At least it touched me deeply, but please not a bit ... the lambs are always given the illusion of participation, even though they are only kept in line with nice sentimental stories of the royals.

Hats off to the best marketing with a deceased queen.

Let's put it nicely, we are pro-royalist unless of course we are not of blue blood ourselves with the appropriate privilege.

By the way, from now on, hearing fifth-hand accounts counts as a full background investigation of facts plus what you saw on TV as true!

I always knew Dracula existed, I saw it on TV, and I speak horse Ed

.... all true..... Or didn't all the migrants from Europe eat the bison of the indigenous people who lived in America?

By the way, everything that is published on any social platform is true, ...., and what is written is also true.

We are already looking forward to the time when our civilisation has gone down the drain and another civilisation digs up 'Lord of the Rings'.

As I said, everything is true, education and facts, key figures and all the other nonsense from science are no longer needed when the citizens are stupid and uneducated or simply so greedy for power that they ignore all the facts or don't want to understand them.

Rumours are enough!

Life is the self-fulfilment of dreams that are copyrighted without you knowing it.

Regardless of the underlying motivation, the presence of a coherent and unambiguous message is inherently beneficial. The ability to adhere to a clearly defined set of principles is a valuable asset in any context. I extend my best wishes for a fulfilling and prosperous life, regardless of the specific tenets you choose to uphold.

Somehow fitting, evolutionarily our brains are still designed to recognise danger in order to ensure our survival. This is precisely the problem of the present in social networks: so many supposed false dangers are created in social media that our Stone Age brain is completely overwhelmed by them when we give in to fear.

Fear turns off our minds and that's good for the culture of excitement to generate clicks.

At some point, our perception has nothing to do with reality.

We just briefly mention Springfield and the blunt lie that pets are food for American immigrants.

Unfiltered, unchecked and created for the sole purpose of generating fear and attention.

Just be a bit more than a stone-age brain!

When the rescue team and local police found the camp, it had been abandoned for days. There was no fire and even the gas cooker was cold.

The crime scene photo of the camp showed that all the hikers' belongings were still there and untouched, ruling out the possibility of robbery and murder.

The state troopers and their rescue team colleagues searched the area for clues and found two gruesome scenarios that they never talked about or forgot.

The case was never solved, two of the state troopers died shortly afterwards under mysterious circumstances, the entire rescue team disappeared during the second search, with only one being found in a completely distraught state not far from the camp.

It is unfortunate that the case ultimately remained without further consequences and has not been discussed further to this day....

The investigation files were under lock and key until a month ago, when two young journalists discovered them by chance.

The file, which has never been solved, bears the title of a puzzle, but no further information would be helpful at this time.... nothing more.

Now, after all this time, we report on what really happened and how it might have happened.

The present day: two young journalists get out of an old jeep in a car park outside a mental hospital, both looking towards the main building of the large complex.

The incredible Michaela DePrince, a gifted ballet dancer who performed with Beyoncé, was hailed as a rising star! The incredible Michaela Mabinty DePrince, who came to the United States from an orphanage in war-torn Sierra Leone and performed on some of the world's greatest stages, has sadly passed away at the age of 29. Her family released a statement on the dancer's Instagram page, expressing their grief and admiration. 'Michaela touched so many lives around the world, including ours', her family said in a statement.

Perfection is sometimes also the death of the crass anarchy of creativity.

The journey from the roots to today also reflects the technical possibilities and the evolution of viewing habits of ever new groups of viewers, ultimately a great development but also a loss.

But that is always in the eye of the spectator.

Animation cels from The Simpsons, back when they were still nice and ugly, and part of the Tracy Ullman Show. Circa 1987.

The Israeli Minister of Defence has announced the commencement of a new phase of hostilities.

Explosions of walkie-talkies have been reported in Lebanon, resulting in casualties.

Israel has described this as a new phase of the war. Following the detonation of pagers on Tuesday, further explosions occurred in Lebanon. It would appear that walkie-talkies were the source of the explosion. As was the case the previous day, numerous members of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah were reportedly affected, according to information provided by Lebanese security sources.

What is the number of victims? The Lebanese Ministry of Health has thus far reported 14 fatalities and 450 injuries resulting from the walkie-talkie explosions. However, it is possible that the number of victims may continue to rise overnight.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Israeli attack on Hezbollah fighters has left everyone on the edge of their seats.

The manufacturer of the communication devices has stepped forward to deny any responsibility, adding another layer of intrigue to this fast-developing story.

New paper more or less

Now the next stage of escalation management, to really provoke a war that will drag the whole region down with it, only needs one more drop.

What Israel has done here is unprecedented and will probably be used in the future as a measure by anyone who wants to get rid of unwanted people.

It is an unprecedented breach of the blueprint that manifests power.

They could have detonated the pagers at night when all the people they were targeting were asleep. After all, people keep their telephones, or in this case pagers, within reach by their beds.

But no, that would not have been the message Israel wanted to send. A dead man in bed at night is just too unspectacular. It has to be a public show of force, a manifestation of horror, we'll get you and the population should see it!

The inhuman military strategists are not interested in innocent victims. This is accepted as a matter of course to show that they are well fortified and will stop at nothing to show it.

Unfortunately, the sword has two edges: violence begets counter-violence, and by the same means.

Every Israeli citizen in the world is now a target, every embassy, every Israeli company and institution. It used to be local, but now it is everywhere, because it was a manifesto in front of the world.

Israeli institutions have always been at risk, but now these actions have created a new security challenge for everyone involved.

Hats off. With Gaza and this affair, Israel has done itself no favours. It's a Pyrrhic victory if things go badly.

mod

Instead of defusing the conflict, the Israeli government is doing everything it can to create clear camps so that each nation will have to decide which side it is on when the real fighting begins in the Middle East and the Mediterranean.

What they are doing in Gaza is impressively inhumane and will create hatred for generations.

It may have once been good against evil, but it is no longer good when those who consider themselves good can use the means of evil, you can assume that the difference no longer exists.

Hatred and revenge will be the harvest, not security and freedom.

We hope you find it in your heart to forgive and forget.

I have never stopped playing, analogue or digital. Playing takes me away from the daily grind... for a brief pleasure of forgetting.

To say that shooting games cause violence is to acknowledge and deny the true causes and origins of violence.

I've been killing in the digital world on digital battlefields for years, and I don't even own a real gun in the real world.

All my heroes have to die in order to be resurrected.

there are 143 of them here

It's just a game, and it's never been more than that when I was young or when I was older, nothing more or less, and yet everything in the moment of playing.

Peace froce is one of my player names and PATS is my one man team. Peace after the storm.

Maybe thier don't like it, but in this game everything has been leveled over time and there's hardly any pay to win.

It's fun to play with a random team of 5 players and fight another team for a bag or as a dead match.

The digital death is waiting for you during your lunch break, tactics are key.

Life is a competition if you let it be, the game 🎮 is definitely one because it's fun.

It's just a game and yet, in the moment of playing, it's everything.

Maybe we should point out that this is precisely the problem with normal people: they only officially recognise the achievements of disabled people when it is obvious.

They cheer on the Paralympics, but in everyday life, disabled people are marginalised.

It's time for an Revolution of Inclusion, and you can shove your crappy pity from the normal world up your arse!

The economy is missing out on the full potential that lies fallow when companies make up all sorts of excuses for not hiring disabled people.

A brief question: How many disabled people worldwide are in corporate management positions as CEOs and what does the internet say?

Or how many people with disabilities hold high positions in state organisations or are even heads of state?

Well, it all looks pretty bleak, doesn't it?

It is a historical travesty that to this day there is no equality, no equal opportunities, no equal understanding at eye level.

In workshops for the disabled, the most disadvantaged of us can screw things together for an exploitative wage. That is pathetic.

Disabled people can and want to help shape this world to make it a better place for all of us.

If the revolution does not come, then disabled people would have to provoke it with all its consequences.

Sometimes you have to hit society in the face to be seen if there is no other way.

About 16% of all people worldwide have a disability. It is evident that we have a significant presence in this world.

Facts about disability and development

1.3 billion people live with a disability. Measured against the world population, this is 16 per cent.

On the one hand, people are living longer and longer; on the other hand, there is a worldwide increase in chronic health problems. Both trends are leading to an increase in the incidence of disabilities.

80 per cent of all people with disabilities live in developing areas.

Women, older people and the poor are disproportionately affected by disability.

In poverty-stricken areas, an estimated 65 million children of school age live with disabilities. Around half of them do not attend school.

Visual impairment

Every 10 seconds, a person goes blind due to poverty, including one child every minute.

Worldwide, around 43 million people are blind, including 2 million children. Of the 43 million blind people, 17 million suffer from correctable cataracts, the most common cause of blindness.

3.6 million have lost their sight due to glaucoma.

3 million people are forced to live blind simply because they lack optical correction.

2.8 million people are at risk of going blind from trachoma. Countless numbers are infected with the bacterial pathogen. 1.9 million people are already irreversibly visually impaired or blind as a result. Clean water, improved hygiene, eye ointments or tablets, and eyelid surgery can prevent blindness.

In Africa in particular, millions of people are at risk of going blind from river blindness. Around half a million people have lost their sight to river blindness. The tablet Mectizan® stops the process of going blind.

80 per cent of blindness could be prevented and 50 per cent of child blindness if the necessary means were available.

Approximately 295 million people suffer from low vision, 10 per cent of whom are children.

Around 90 per cent of all people with visual impairments live in developing areas. There, people are eight times more likely to risk going blind.

In large parts of sub-Saharan Africa, there is only one ophthalmologist for every million people (in Switzerland, the ratio is 1:13,000).

Physical disability

Approximately 150 million people worldwide have a physical disability. Among them are around two million children.

Hearing impairment

Around 450 million people worldwide have a moderate to severe hearing impairment, including 30 million children.

Over 70 million people are deaf.

Each year, less than ten percent of the hearing aids needed worldwide are produced. In developing areas, fewer than three percent of people with hearing loss receive a hearing aid each year.

About half of all cases of hearing loss could be avoided with early treatment.

Mental disability

One in four people will develop a mental illness at some point in their lives.

Approximately 250 million people worldwide suffer from depression. Around 50 million people live with schizophrenia.

They IT, Kyoto and gamers guys live in a self-reinforcing perceptual bubble in which women are willing playmates because they only perceive the world in 2D.

But they are not, and they know it when they think about it. To win them over as voters, you have to make them an offer, and that really just means recognising them, because talking to them will enable you to change their perspective.

Trump and his minions are not really what they want as a role model.

Because they're not, and you don't have to apologise for being out of touch.

They are a dying breed who will never treat women as equals.

Anyone who listened to Trump's speech, where he said that women would be safe, happy and healthy and that he would protect them if they voted for him, and didn't think of a pimp who only seeks his own advantage, doesn't really understand what the man thinks of women!

‘They think he is the worst’: JD Vance’s extraordinary low approval ratings with swing voters

Sarah Longwell, Executive Director of “Republican Voters Against Trump”, Claire McCaskill, former Senator from Missouri and Mini Timmaraju, President of Reproductive Freedom for All joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with continued reaction to the toxic and unappealing rhetoric from the Trump Vance ticket and how it is catered to what seems to be the only demographic that matters, white men.

Yes, it is frightening how humanity is sacrificed to the rational, justified thinking of the brutal makers in this world, which has not improved at all.

Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon and so on and so forth.

Death and destruction only bring more death and even more destruction. We are, in parts, truly disgusting, violent beings who are far from any concept of civilisation that we could achieve.

I am ashamed of humanity.

Religion, power, stupidity, arrogance, greed, fanaticism, all of this is unworthy of us.

And even if our so-called civilisation were to last for another thousand years, we would still kill each other.

Only those who understand what real peace means will do everything they can to ensure that all people benefit from it.

The rest are just motherfuckers who play power games for some kind of ulterior motive.

Those who love people make sure that they can live in peace and unity. This emphasises their connection, unites them and leads them to the realisation that we all have to live together on a tiny planet and make it our paradise and not our hell.

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.

He is a frightening example of how you can run for the highest office in the land without any liability or responsibility, based only on lies and the division of a nation, and with a resume that would be rejected by any company as an applicant.

The land of opportunity has created the problem itself.

Let's hope that a nation with understanding and reason will show the Golem and his henchmen the limits.

But why not invent a visit during an interview?

There appears to be some confusion regarding an alleged visit by Trump to Gaza. Despite his enthusiastic description of the area as ‘the best place in the Middle East, with the best water and the best of everything,’ there is currently no evidence to support this claim. In an interview, Donald Trump expressed enthusiasm for the potential of the Gaza Strip and shared details of an alleged visit to the Palestinian territory. However, there are doubts about the veracity of this alleged trip.

Trump's statements were perceived as not entirely truthful. His remarks were scrutinised again. In a radio interview with right-wing host Hugh Hewitt, he claimed to have been in the Gaza Strip. However, there is no evidence of such a visit.

We believe that there is no other person except the fairytale character Graf von Münchhausen who has told more lies in their entire life and which are then uncovered by a reality check!

The truth used to be a valuable asset. Where did that go?
