Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

I just know that the main supermarkets in my country are actively lobbying the government and suing the competition to squash them. But hey, if we don’t try we lose by default.

Yeah, I was thinking along similar lines, but maybe just a mandatory country of origin flag next to the price. However the downside of that is that some of our food is already picked one country and then transported to another for processing, then transported to another for packaging. So my idea is unrealistic. However I like your “this is picked, processed and packaged in Europe only” type of labeling. Sadly I’m sure that all of the big food producers would be against it and they have a lot of money to lobby the government to prevent this.

Oh wow, thanks. Someone under that post also linked that this is not about Coca Cola the drink, but everything owned by the Coca Cola company, which is over 500 brands.

As I recently explained to someone else on here: I genuinely don’t think most Europeans are doing the research regarding the background of the brands they buy. It’s easy to avoid things like the standard Coca Cola drink as that’s well known to be from the US, but I’m sadly willing to bet that most of those other brands would be purchased without much of a second thought.

Got some data to back that up? All I can find is a decline in Europe revenue 2025 Q1 by 1.1%, but hey, maybe you found more recent numbers?

Of course he did. The ones he’s been found guilty of at least. But with how much he doesn’t want the files out there’s definitely some extra ones in there.

Thank you for asking. I am too sheltered to know most slurs and it was bugging me, but not enough to ask myself.

Depends. I specifically targeted the users saying things like “omg, Reddit is dead. RIP. Where shall we go now?” And “If there were an alternative I’d switch in a heartbeat” or “that’s it, I’m leaving. This was my last straw”. Basically users that genuinely sounded to me like they were looking for something. Not that they ever got to see my response.

I tried in 5 or 6 different subreddits. Different phrasing, sometimes not even outright saying the name, definitely not linking out. None of them made it through.

It doesn’t help that all comments mentioning Lemmy are instantly shadowbanned or removed.

It’s the main reason I’m not having children. While there are other reasons the main one is a combination of global warming made worse by late stage capitalism and the resulting political instability that comes with that.

While I refuse to make the choice to bring someone new into this world myself I do see it as my duty to help as many of the kids around me who were brought into this world regardless. The world they were bron into is not their fault and I appreciate being able to use my resources to help them and their parents.

Millennial here. Never smoked, never tempted to either. Don’t like the taste of alcohol unless it’s in deserts, so no temptation there. Tried weed once, also that is not for me. Heck, I even avoid caffeine most days so I don’t build up a tolerance for days when I actually need it.
