This is never not appropriate with stories like this.

Because it's about sending a message. They've seen how popular this guy and his actions have become and are trying to throw everything at him so it puts off any copycats.

I guess that's just an argument for better made apartments.

You are 100% correct, negative news has a greater impact on people than positive: https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71516.pdf

Media sites know this, and use it to drive engagement:

https://www.independent.co.uk/...

And so, negative headlines are getting worse: https://journals.plos.org/...

But negative news is addictive and psychologically damaging: https://www.psychologytoday.com/...

So it's important to try and stay positive:

If you want a break from the constant negativity, here are some sites that report specifically on positive news:

• https://www.goodgoodgood.co/
• https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/
• https://fixthenews.com/

Remember, realistic optimism is important and, unlike what some might have you believe, is not the same as blissful ignorance or 'burying your head in the sand': https://www.learning-mind.com/...

On today's episode of Bullshit That Never Happened...

Are they trying to say this is a good thing or a bad thing?

You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it?

Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you?

They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

"Insurers, who say the vehicles are too likely to be stolen, seem to be deaf to the suffering of owners whose only fault was to buy an obese status symbol coveted by many hard-working criminals, as well as by Prince Andrew.". Damn, savage! It's a good article, though. EVs are heavy enough, without continuing to make SUVs part of the product lineup.

A lot of people on Lemmy need to understand this, because all too often they are ready and eager to pounce on any positive news with dismissive arguments along these same lines i.e 'why are we wasting money on X when we should be spending it on Y. We're all doomed'. It's becoming a tired trope on this platform already.

People are going to lose their minds if a) this turns out not to be the guy and b) the assassin is just your regular run-of-the-mill mentally ill gun nut. Bonus points if he turns out to be some MAGA racist.

Oh no!

Anyway...

Ah yes, the Belgium Congo - a location known for wide turning circles and nice flat, even road surfaces.

I mean even a cursory bit of online research demonstrates that not only are the vast majority of people aware of man made climate change, they also consider it personally important and a government priorty: https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/...
