Lmfao I had to start using the covers for litter boxes since one of mine does this. I feel bad, like I know it's not great for them to feel confined but...I am not letting that continue

My state is trying to constitutionally ban the use of ranked choice systems 🫠 fingers crossed the muppets just drew enough awareness to implement it after we reject this amendment

It would only show the info relating to the account though, right? I don't share my Instagram because I can't figure out how to disconnect it from my Facebook (plus it doesn't embed on discord - very rude), but I don't use my real info for any of my other accounts.

Oh shit, idk why that hadn't clicked for me before. I'm really sorry. Of course that makes sense

I thought that was just me being ADHD lol. I watched from home and paused a few times to do other stuff. I didn't think it was great, but not the worst. I also went in looking forward to the musical numbers that somehow people didn't know about. Overall maybe 6.5/10? (This is probably the first time I've graded a film tbh)

Certainly shouldn't mean people are less than for being amused by it either.. O.o

I mean that's exactly what trans means, so they're just being redundant and perpetuating this weird fear mongering. Honestly some of them are just stupid, others seem to know a lot of constituents are stupid and appeal to it while knowingly preventing funding for education so future voters AREN'T stupid

I need to ask my parents, cuz last I heard around June my dad had snapped out enough to at least to say he was considering not voting for the first time ever in a national election. There's an ironic push for ranked choice style options moving forward now thanks to our state Republicans trying to revert back to caucuses and pissing a bunch of constituents off by having us vote to ban other options

Honestly I wonder how much reading comprehension they struggle with. Like the average reading level is 8th grade, if that iirc. I swear they drop out as soon as there are big words cuz they get pissed they can't understand. People that lean left are clinically shown to be more* (not not) open minded, and I imagine are the ones going and googling when they don't know or have someone right there they trust to explain.

Well it's mostly been kinda both for a while hasn't it? I wonder how my dad's dad would feel about Trump, though. Never got to meet him but he was a POW in the Bataan Death March

We still have a ways to go with psychologist research, to be fair. My dad served two tours between 2003-2006 and only more recently came to understand PTSD isn't something you just "get over."
Same for sexism. It's not easy for service members to get over that engrained idea of protecting women at the cost of the team. There's a lot of promising research in resilience studies preparing military members prior to entering combat that I think could apply. As long as researchers and artists involved in VR type training are careful to include particular elements like more femme voices and such, it can be overcome before it's an issue in active combat
And to be clear, I'm not familiar with the research veterans have cited to me that it is an issue to begin with. I've only really looked at PTSD and the use of VR for exposure therapy and CBT. I'm inclined to believe it would be an issue for at least some men. I'd like to look at Israel as a case study example when I get some time since they've had compulsory service for men and women for a while now

There's a Netflix doc titled something like "the staircase" where a guy got tried for murder because his wife fell down some stairs. Regulations are written in blood, as they say

Please be mindful of the misinformation here. NPD is nuanced and difficult to treat, as with any personality disorder, but it is absolutely possible.

Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers... Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.
Wait, you're a stranger! Look ma I did it!
Hey y'all - I'm starting a video series breaking down our statewide ballot questions since I looked last week and had no idea about some of them. I'd really appreciate any support you can give, whether it's watching, commenting, or following my channel!
I just want to vent a bit - I started seeing someone a few weeks ago. Old fling that I ran into through some friends that got rekindled, and I was excited that it seemed like more than just casual hookups this time. But there were some yellow flags I ignored that turned out to be red flags, and now I'm feeling frustrated and hurt. Dude for real dropped the line that men are more "capable" and "logical" on me. That gender studies are "indoctrination." I told him we should probably stop seeing each other if that's really what he thinks. It wouldn't be logical for me to keep seeing someone that thinks lesser of me, now, would it? I'm grateful to have some guy friends that I turned to after I left, cuz I wanted to go into "fuck all men" mode, but I know it's not true or helpful. Just like there are women out there that have internalized misogyny, there's feminist men, enbies, etc. We're all just people and we're not monoliths beholden to differences in biology. This is just sexist, manosphere bullshit in particular Anyway. I'm still feeling angry and wanted to put it out there for some support and solidarity. Anyone have a recent win they'd like to share or something? ETA: Thank you so much for the conversation y'all! I've been trying to keep up but I gotta get some sleep. I'll check in later but hope everyone has a good day. Keep up the empowerment! 💜
I know it's not the most engaging or thought provoking question, but I'm having a bad day and would really like to find a space to vent
I was noot prepared for this intensity
Hey y'all, want to give a heads up that I used redact a few days ago to delete all my comments and found the entire history restored today. I've seen a few useful tips that if you're petty enough, start editing and deleting your comments manually so it doesn't get noticed as quickly. I started by viewing my top comments and edited them to say "As a language AI model, I'm beginning to edit all my comments in protest of reddit" I'm just going to do a little at a time and will check back in after about 12 hours or so to make sure it's not restored then keep going Obligatory fuck spez ETA: Thank you @deweydecibel for the explanation! If y'all are using redact, try making sure you're using the one with a 5 second delay Edit 2: @EnigmaNL also noted the script didn't work for comments in subs that were locked down. I just finished going through mine and can confirm there weren't too many left, so I think that's what the issue was!
I was thinking of making a community here for h3 and am glad to see ones been made! It was one of the only subreddits I'd checked this last week and now I feel so much more comfortable sticking to lemmy. Just want to say hi for now with ✌️& ❤️ Shout out to all the hoes for Hila, Olivia, Lena, and Sam!
Say hi to Frankie 😄
