Unfortunately this is legit. Pretty much every democracy index such as the EIU’s find similar results, with democracy peaking somewhere between on or two decades ago, and consistently deteriorating since. I wrote my bachelors thesis (a decent while ago) about this very phenomenon. (Democratic backsliding).
Oh wow okay. Arguing against a point I didn’t know needed arguing against. Thanks.
That is indeed sad as fuck. And as someone disabled to the point I’m unable to work, also scary as fuck.
I got the original meme but I don’t understand this. Can someone ELI5?
Are they suggesting that its sad that “you” would think people only deserve food water and shelter?
Not confirmed it was Ukraine though?
Just that germany was investigating a Ukrainian citizen I think.

And the fact that bluesky has many features mastodon does not. Namely, an algorithm.
Hey I’ve had a couple chats with Taylor. She’s real nice. Cool to see her posted on lemmy.
Grandmaster just means you have reached a certain elo and have completed certain requirements (win a number of games, against certain opponents etc), and won a certain number of competitions. There are around 2000 current grandmasters.
World champion is much much more selective, meaning literally winning the world championship.
Don’t get me wrong, grandmaster is incredibly prestigious, but is much more “common” than world champion.
(International Master is the rank below grandmaster).
How realiable is this news website? It seems dodgy to me.
Really cool map. And it’s really nice to have proper location names. But the location of specific mountains don’t check out, are missaligned etc.
But the artistic value of this is crazy! And that they added the Jura too, so cool.
People were quite proud in the past few euros. Especially euro 2020 when we beat france, but also euro 2024 making it to quarters and losing on pens to eventual finalists.For the world cup people were generally happy we qualified, but world cup 2022 was seen as a disaster (lost 5-1 to portugal ro16).
I think people had less high expectations, because we have a decent number of really good players, but unlike belgium we didn’t have any “world stars” KDB, Hazard, Courtois etc.
teams past its prime. we had golden generation 2014-2024, now after a decade (and now that the euros are done) a bunch have retired. In that timeframe, we were the only team except for france to make it to every single euros + world cup round of 16
Same generation that won the U-17 world cup in 2009 for switzerland. Ended up being our best ever national team.
Now we go back to being a Norway/Ireland level team. Qualifying here and there, never going far.
