“Dark Histories” has some disturbing ones, as it is usually about strange events or Indeed murders, but the descriptions of the episodes allow you to weed through it, and leave those ones out.
I really enjoyed the ones about “Gef the mongoose” or the disappearance of the man who invented the first moving pictures. It goes deep into the history and times surrounding the stories which is very cool, so its main focus is history and society.
Why does this have so many down votes? Am I missing something?
I really mistrust any picture I see online now. It’s scary I think. I’m still not convinced about this one.
But it’s not really comparable though, is it? I also happen to live in Germany. I work 8 hours, have to pay for my own 30 minute lunch break and have about 3 hours of transport a day, 1,5 hours each way, the days I go into the office. That makes a day of 11,5 hours only spend on work, not counting the hour getting ready before I leave, which I don’t really count as free time. There are no other breaks included in the day. I’m not saying that school isn’t hard, but when I went to e.g university I had a heck of a lot more time to explore my own interests than I do now. When I get home I have to make dinner for the family, empty the dishwasher, do the laundry etc. (and I share these talks with my partner) and I maybe have a good two hours of doing nothing before going to bed on weekdays. I would take school, with all the exams and what not, any day.
I never went to school from 7 to 19. Where do you go to school?
I think he’s just a poorly drawn pickle :(
Go right ahead! Sounds interesting.
I haven't found anything like that on Lemmy. I recently got into meetup.com though.
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later" I looked at my kingdom I was finally there
Only to realize that the crisis in Europe was just as bad as there.
The same for me (but 8 hour workday). Honestly, I couldn’t do the job if the working non-stop days were the default. I am wasted after such a high-stress day, so I need it to fluctuate. I also don’t feel bad on days where I do less, because I know I do a 110% on the other days. A workday is simply too long to be productive the whole time and the workload usually varies.
Am I the only one who thinks there haven’t been big 'mistakes" in their life, just, you know, life? I mean, sure, there are things I would do differently given the chance, but not something I would call big mistakes. I would definitely go for the money - I would even pay money not to have to go though my teens again lol
Yes I understand that, but the article was being downvoted when I wrote that, and when I first glanced at it, I thought it was propaganda as too.
NK-news also took a moment to research, because their approach seem to be a non-aggressive one (with North Korea) and the only articles that aren’t completely negative about NK, are usually propaganda in some form. What you can read from the link about them is, that they are in fact mostly neutral.
So, I might not have been too clear in my comment, and I admit I only skimmed the article on my way to work, but I was actually trying to defend the article being there and giving it some background.
As a Moderator, I was considering deleting this post as I don’t encourage the spread of propaganda and especially not North Korean propaganda. North Korea is a terrible totalitarian dictatorship, that treats its own citizens as prisoners and has no respect for human life and autonomy.
The reason I haven’t deleted it is because I find it interesting how North Korea frames propaganda and tries to affect people outside NK, and in doing so, so helplessly misses the mark so often. Also because the aim of NKnews seems to be to report from NK in a neutral way.

Yeah, it really makes you question humanity. I hate that some people have to go through that sort of thing everyday.
It’s 2023/2024 and Steve Buscemi is now more attractive than Mickey Rourke
