Journalism provides information and understanding. That's it's whole thing. The Information bit tends to be clear - it's verifiable, you can see if it's raining as in your example. Understanding is harder - it's intangible, you infer it or deduce it. Therefore it's non-objective, unprovable, so an opinion.
And lots of things fall into the second category - An article on what Putin's actual objectives are in Ukraine. Why his world view became that way. What it feels like to be a Uyghur in China. What it's like in the inside of the Trump administration. This kind of thing is valuable and it's only communicated through opinion pieces.
I think people react strongly to it because it is something that can be weaponised and has been. Mixed in or presented as informational news. Or might just be advocating some dogshit idea or rotten agenda. There's too many examples to mention...
That's a very good point. And the flag kinda sums up Israel's strategic conflation of anti Israel with anti Semitism.
I'm guessing from the phrasing of the article that this was the Star of David outside of the flag. Which I think is asking for an accusation of anti Semitism and could have been easily avoided.
I'm sure it was anti genocide/ anti Zionism they were going for but they fucked up by using the Star of David. That pretty clearly targets the religion not the country.
I think that was potassium-permanganate and sugar. It was one of the saner recipes ( who really wants to blow their face off or smoke banana skins ) with somewhat easily available ingredients.
It was legit. But the temperature window between melting the ingredients together and igniting it was very narrow. We did what your friend did, we made the smoke bomb and also set it off in one go.
Your friend must've been in a while ton of shit.
I was sure this was an onion article...
But anyway, kinda interesting that the laughing gas high lasts minutes but they're talking about anti depressive effects laying days. So something is going on more than just getting high.
Yes. Seriously. And if x wants to operate in the EU then it has to follow EU law.
Consumer protection still exists and what x is doing with it's 'verified' badges is just straight up deception. The only thing it verifies is that that account has paid x money.
Second, relating to transparency in advertising. Hybrid warfare is a major threat to the stability of Europe's society, institutions and democracy. A major vector for that is propaganda carried out through Facebook and X. Both through fake users and adverts.
The EU should very much take this seriously and I'm glad that they are.
100%. Constant sane washing.
Duplicating the data many times over isn't progress.

When you add sugar to a dish you do it by the cupful or spoonful but when you add salt you do it by the pinch. It's definitely true.
