I see, Samsung is mentioned in that article. Like I said, I think that is obviously bad, but it's probably not as bad as somebody dying.

I guess it's because many young adults move far away from home to get jobs in cities.

In the past young adults probably would have stayed living near their family, so they could see them easily.

Do you have a reputable source showing that Samsung phones, for example, are made with slave labour?

If they are then that would obviously be very bad, although I'm not sure it's as bad as somebody dying (like in OP's dilemma).

Brexit may have made life more difficult for many British people, but hey, at least the passports are blue now.

(In case you don't know, British passports were dark red when we were in the EU - in keeping with other EU passports - and when Britain left the EU, the government decided to make passports blue like they were in the olden days, because they thought this would appeal to boomers)

Ethernet is obviously better but running ethernet around your home can be a pain in the arse

I'm not sure if he's claiming that Brexit is the reason for EU troubles, but I dunno because I haven't listened to the full interview (which is here, but I think you need to be in the UK to listen to it)

Maybe he's referring to the political troubles in Germany and France - the governments of both countries have collapsed recently

Clegg said:

My own view... is that the United Kingdom will have to sort of architect a sort of rapprochement, or re-entry into the European Union in one shape or form

Do you agree with him?

People thought the first Trump presidency was a politically divided time, but maybe we're now entering an even more divided time, given that social media is now fragmenting along political lines, more prominently than it did before.

What do you think the solution is for the growing number of people who aren't in work?

Tsai, who left office in January, added: “A Ukrainian victory will serve as the most effective deterrent to future aggression.” This suggests Tsai believes that US military support for Kyiv... would help deter China from a cross-strait attack.

Personally I would like to be able to talk to people with different views, in a civil manner. But Lemmy.ml doesn't seem to want that. If you post something that they don't like (even if it's a very moderate view and is expressed in a completely civil way) then they ban you. They seem to really hate moderate people.

Do you agree with Merkel that Brexit was a "humiliation" for the EU?

I'm not sure if I would use that word, but I wonder what other people think.

Apparently, over 50% of voters think Europe is more important for trade than the US:

Asked 'is Europe or the US more important to the UK' in 'terms of trade', 58 per cent chose Europe and just 34 per cent the States
