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.

The gen z stare. I like that. I think ive seen it a few times too but just figured they had a bad day. But its maybe something much bigger. A desire to not be a slave to the system.

I looked up some photos of it and I can't find any pattern. For any particular photo, I've seen people give each other a similar look across all age groups

Its more of an attitude than a stare I think. A few days ago i went into Bauhaus to get some stuff and the gen z people in customer support was so bored out of their minds. They hated being alive and doing stupid trivial shit to help customers like me. I understand it. Pay is probably awful and they waste their best days of their lives sitting in that place working for a corporation.

I kind of like the attitude they have.

That attitude isn't new. It's existed for decades in those types of roles. The difference is that Gen Z doesn't give a shit about hiding it anymore, regardless of what management wants.
