And already up to roughly 400 confirmed deaths....this is very much on the way to get into the thousands (yes, plural)...

 

Entire city blocks have been completely demolished, in a time of day where one can assume most people were at home, and in multiple cities with 500k - 2 million inhabitants..

Awesome, thousands of Indians arrested for marrying way too young girls, keep it up authorities  

 

 

Good: The crackdown. Bad: So many child marriages took place in the first place. Ugly: Knowledge that this legitimate action would be used to attack government.

An area already facing so many problems.

Yeah, the fact that it's even necessary is of course disgusting, but it's still better than nothing being done I suppose..

Obviously not worse than the many, many deaths, but the over 2000 year old Gaziantep Castle, originally built by the Hittites, has been as good as entirely destroyed.

Do you have some "fever" sport in your country?

 

Since last year looks like everyone is playing Beach Tennis.

 

In my City, 400km far from the sea and with about 80k people i can easily count 10 new sand courts (actually complexes with many courts) opened here in the last few months lol

 

Before this "fever" ive never heard of this sport

Padel, unfortunately...

RIP our Italian users 

 

 

only those who have TIM as the internet provider (actually, it's the majority of people here).

 

I'd say that they had what they deserve for staying for that bunch of thieves and technological troglodytes

Yeah, same thing here, it's apparently booming among the people who aren't able to play tennis  And definitely seen as even more of an elitist sport than tennis.

 

No idea if padel is an option in my town though, I know we have some tennis courts but no idea about padel

No no no no no don't go posting super moron Frank Hoogerbeets  

 

He comes up with hundreds of predictions for terrible earthquakes, based on planets X and Y being in some angle with the sun or some pseudoscience bullshit like that, and now that he finally 'hit' one, he is just basking in the dopamine rush that the likes and retweets are giving him today...

 

Several times a year he comes with some nonsense prediction for a civilization-ending super earthquake and nonsense like that.

 

As the old saying goes: even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
