The one about the "10-seconds rule" for sexual harassment generated a flood of ironic videos on TikTok and was in general received very badly by younger generations because the girl was "one of them" and they could relate. The other one is received with total indifference. Plus there's another: the son of the president of the Senate has been accused of rape and his father publicly declared that she was on drug/she waited 40 days to "remember" and sue the complaint so she is unreliable. All in a very short amount of time. To me it's a generational clash, unfortunately the younger don't have right to vote (and if they do they don't go voting) and the ones who rule are white/male chauvinists.

As an Italian, I feel truly ashamed. There is another case on the news in these days concerning the reduction of the sentence for a man who killed and torn to pieces his ex girlfriend due to "his being very affectionate but her being too libertine". What has gone wrong with this country?

The decision has been taken by a college of judges of the court (which is even worse than a single person).

As an Italian, that was indeed a good one! 😅😅😅 Sad but true, maybe people think to solve the problem like that here.

Maybe he feels like some of those ancient Pharaohs who had the architects building their pyramids killed afterwards in order not to reveal anyone the inner secret passages.

Same here in Italy. We are ahead of the rest of Europe this time, due to having voted earlier last year. A word of warning: no matter how radical and extremist their claims are, once they take the seats in parliament they don't change anything. Here they came to the paradox of abrogating some laws of the previous government and reintroduce the very same measure with a different name. Only rhetorics will change (and not entirely for the good, unfortunately).

Something had to be done and something is better than nothing, ignoring all red flags and continuing as if everything were fine (leaving problems to successors) is not an option any more.

I am completely ignorant about Polish politics and honestly I didn't know about the "Poland A" / "Poland B" distinction. This meme made me learn something so thank you 🙏

In Italy the name Mirko, imported from Slavic neighbouring countries, is quite diffused but it's not uncommon to ask «Do you spell it with a c or with a k?» because the k letter is not normally used in Italian spelling. To which the answer is often (joking) «Obviously with a k otherwise it would be a circus» due to the fact that Mirko and circo sound very similar in our language.

I totally relate to this. I didn't like the environment on R*ddit, but here people are much nicer, so the addiction is even worse!

People are free to either agree with the CEO view or to not use the platform. Sad but true. At least it reminds us all that it is a private for-profit company and always has been. No matter whether the "value" of it was mostly provided by user-created contents.

Be it for economic reasons, be it for any other reason this is really good news! Kudos to Greece and to all Greek people. My country, Italy, is still below 1% as of June 2023 according to statcounter so there's still a lot of work to do! Seeing Linux as an option to bring back to life second hand or old hardware, preventing wastes and promoting circular economy is an idea I really like.
