To be clear, mass killing civilians is always wrong. We learned that from World War II. Not just the US, the entire world. If any country starts mass killing civilians, then nuclear weapons may be an appropriate strategy stop the behavior.
Personally I grew up being taught by a bunch of older 2nd wave feminists, so the messaging I received was a lot of “A woman is anything she wants to be.” Cue picture of Rosie the Riveter repairing a truck or something. I wonder if you maybe didn’t have the best relationships with the women around you growing up? Because personally, I’ve just always felt more comfortable with women. When I was a kid, women were more inclusive with me and easier to talk with, and I think the moments where women segregated from men, where it was just me and a group of grandmas in the kitchen or something, were really formative for the development of my feminine identity.
What are your best economical recipes that aren’t just beans, chickpeas, and rice?
I mean I eat beans and rice almost daily and always look forward to it, so…
Try this Eggplant with Garlic Sauce. I just use standard dark soy sauce and an American eggplant, it’s still great. Anyone in college in particular should try it, just because of how cheap and easy it is.
Also cabbage soup is one of my favorite lunches.
That doesn’t really respond to the dilemma. If there isn’t a strong system to stop abuses, there aren’t going to be personal freedoms and economic equality.
This is very much a “You don’t know what you don’t know” kind of situation.
I once read a case about a physicians assistant who worked under a bariatric surgeon for 15 years. After completing thousands of bariatric surgeries under the surgeon, he started his own clinic and hired a “supervising surgeon” who was retired and never there. Meaning, even though he was not a doctor, he was acting as the only surgeon. He botched botched dozens of surgeries, he caused pain and suffering to dozens of other people. He had no idea what the surgeon was doing that he wasn’t, because he wasn’t trained to perform that role. Instead of recognizing he couldn’t do it, he just assumed he knew anything necessary.
People take that approach to a lot of things. Very common in the law for people to look something on chatgpt and get mad at their lawyer for not following completely non-sensical advice.
I’m a little confused on what basis you mean left, because without strong government there aren’t going to be any checks on capitalism, discrimination, abuses, etc.
The adults around you don’t expect anything more from you than for you to be a teenager. When I was a teenager, I spent a lot of time comparing myself to others. Because many teenagers are smarter, more diligent, accomplished, friendly, etc. that no one would ever want to pick me. When really all anyone wants from you is for you to be on time, polite, and ready to learn. They’ll figure out something for you to do. Every adult around you was once a teenager who knew nothing until someone showed them how to do a job.
your body gets used to it the more you do it. decrease the amount of exercise you start with and work your way up in small increments.
It’s not a social media site, but the Special books by special kids YouTube channel is centered around people with special needs or disabilities. Sometimes it’s kids or teens, sometimes it’s adults.
The thing about the articles is that nobody who buys the magazine reads them. They can print whatever they want, the purpose is the naked pictures.
Lee said the site does not operate as “civil detention,” arguing it functions like a punitive facility despite housing families.
Because that’s not a thing. Taking away someone’s freedom is a punishment that can only be enforced through violence.
obviously they don’t know that, but also it’s an individualist society. people aren’t taught to think about how an entire community works together. they’re taught that they’re the only person that matters and everyone else should inconvenience them as little as possible.
yes, the dark mode is blurry and difficult to read for people with astigmatism. like personally my eyes are straining and uncomfortable if I have to read digital light-on-dark text.
Hopelessness protects you from disappointment.
I’ve tried getting my permit twice before, but the driving schools in my area are all in the middle of nowhere and difficult to schedule for adults.
Millionaires vs. billionaires. You start with businesses who can support the strike. Strikes aren’t free. It can’t be partisan, it can’t just be workers. It has to be an umbrella.
By the time the majority realizes they should leave, it’ll be too late. That’s just how authoritarianism works.
I am conflicted myself, but keep in mind why they are doing this. They know they lost the future generations and can’t win them back. Democrats have a massive majority of millennials and gen-z. These people are making their final power plays from their retirement homes and sick beds. We have decades to fix what they broke and make something new.
There are struggles with leaving. There are struggles with staying. You’re not wrong to leave if you can, but I think there’s a case for staying.
That’s so ridiculous. I bet the warning didn’t even tell you that you couldn’t use another account in the interim.
They don’t seem interested in unbanning these kinds of bans. You can get around it, but they need to have no idea it’s you. There are posts and videos about it. It’s checking your devices and your internet service. You’ll need a new device and internet service. You can never connect your old accounts to them, and you can never log the new device/account into an internet service you used (eg. at your moms). It’s also recommended to take care to not make it obvious you’re the same person. Eg. spend a few weeks just upvoting posts, only go to a few subreddits you didn’t go to before, and slowly add the stuff you liked before.
I’m not bothering, personally. Welcome to Lemmy. Checkout Bluesky and Threads.
I’m 30 and have never learned. I live in a city with adequate public transit.
County/state work. Check your local listings. My local jail, probation, court records hire people every week. I live in a big hospital area and our hospitals are also always hiring. You should at least consider talking to their HR and asking which community college certificate would be a good investment to get a job.
