What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Working in a business environment is connected to our souls and will damage us inside, it's not different in kind, and if it's different in intensity it is because of the lack of protection and the level of abuse which people get away with.

Agree to disagree on this one. :) To me it's so obvious it's not the same that I'm surprised not everyone thinks so. But we are all different.

Yes, of course it depends on the person, their ideas and feelings and beliefs about sex will have a big impact. But I want to be clear that I'm not arguing it's not at all damaging, just that people really underestimate the way other jobs are damaging and the centuries of work that has gone into improving labour standards so that they are less bad.

It seems obvious to me you lack the perspective and experience to make such a claim, no matter how much ayahuasca you've used.

Let me guess, you also think that vaginas can get worn out, and that women should be subservient and submit to their owner husbands.
