1·1 year ago2000 years ago he died for our sins on a cross. Why didn’t his story die with him? Because his death made him a martyr, and martyrs live forever.
The same will happen with Navalny and his ideology.

5·1 year agoI probably should be as well, but I just don’t have the fight left in me anymore.
Maybe someone can explain to me why it’s easier to fight for someone else vs ourselves, 'cause it’s gd annoying as hell.

Canadians know him well and respect him a lot. He could be the only choice at this point.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada passes bill to cover birth control and diabetes drugs
4·1 year agoYou assume that the article you referenced in your original post is the final say on type 2 diabetes.
I would recommend you do some more research on the subject.
From the Mayo Clinic
Factors that may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes include:
- Weight. Being overweight or obese is a main risk.
- Fat distribution. Storing fat mainly in the abdomen — rather than the hips and thighs — indicates a greater risk. The risk of type 2 diabetes is higher in men with a waist circumference above 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and in women with a waist measurement above 35 inches (88.9 centimeters).
- Inactivity. The less active a person is, the greater the risk. Physical activity helps control weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes cells more sensitive to insulin.
- Family history. An individual’s risk of type 2 diabetes increases if a parent or sibling has type 2 diabetes.
- Race and ethnicity. Although it’s unclear why, people of certain races and ethnicities — including Black, Hispanic, Native American and Asian people, and Pacific Islanders — are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than white people are.
- Blood lipid levels. An increased risk is associated with low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol — the “good” cholesterol — and high levels of triglycerides.
- Age. The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age, especially after age 35.
- Prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition in which the blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Left untreated, prediabetes often progresses to type 2 diabetes.
- Pregnancy-related risks. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is higher in people who had gestational diabetes when they were pregnant and in those who gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds (4 kilograms).
- Polycystic ovary syndrome. Having polycystic ovary syndrome — a condition characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth and obesity — increases the risk of diabetes.

World News@lemmy.world•Middle East live: UN says its peacekeepers refused Israeli request to leave positions in LebanonEnglish
22·1 year agoThere are three basic principles that continue to set UN peacekeeping operations apart as a tool for maintaining international peace and security.
These three principles are inter-related and mutually reinforcing:
-Consent of the parties -Impartiality -Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate













Nobody cares what ICE or DHS says 'cause all they do is lie.
And America wonders why nobody wants to vacation there anymore.
