Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Lmao the article is so lib brained. "DUUUUH I GUESS WEALTH DOESN'T EQUAL HAPPINESS"

Motherfucker NO ONE IS WEALTHY APART FROM LIKE A SMALL GROUP OF GUYS AT THE TOP. Fuckers never want to consider that the "wealth" of a country isn't equally distributed in capitalist countries.

"DUUUUH I GUESS WEALTH DOESN'T EQUAL HAPPINESS"

brits are cursed by god to never feel happy no matter what they do. This is why they are very dangerous, both to themselves and others

There's no depression, just people suffering from indoor fan use

Historically, this has been true, beaten out by the country they are occupying

Have they tried another decade of Tory rule?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Where, you might ask, did it go wrong? Pick your villain. Covid. Putin. Brexit. The wokerati. Austerity. Bojo. Ulez. The lettuce prime minister. The anti-growth coalition. Blair. The internet.

Thatcher, the correct answer is Thatcher.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

The rot started before that. Things really went downhill after that whole Plantagenet thing

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Austerity

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

Ive glanced over the study, the most important data to take from it is that, all the youth, all around the world, have a horrible score, we are all fucking depressed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was interesting how they decided to exclude China from the study. 🤔

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

There are many countries missing, they only show 34, I dont know if they say why. Germany, Russia, Brasil, all of eastern europe and most of Asia are missing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I couldn't find any rationale for how they decided which countries to include and which not to include in the report.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Yes but have you considered cigarettes and beer?

spoilerHaha just joking those are too expensive now, stick to tap water wagie :^)
