Yeah but a lot of people never use them. Like I’m chronically ill, with chronic pain and only use maybe a couple times a year cuz of weird masculine “deal with the pain instincts”. I need to remind myself of this meme more often ahahha

You’re so right. And now one of the two biggest parties in the US (GOP) is basically a Russian propaganda creation, along with its platform.

Btw you might like the !astroturfing@lemmy.world community

That was always the joke in my friend group.

Climate change? Yeah it’s backed by the canadian beachowners lobby, that’s why the politicians don’t care.

I think asking for trans people is wrong because they genuinely are (in a sense of their core identity and perception of themselves) the gender they transitioned too.

But a different question would be for example, for someone who got disbled later in life, are you disabled in your dreams?

The answer (atleast for me) in that case, is mostly I am, but not always, and sometimes less severely so than in real life.

Works fine in french election abroads.

But yes vote by mail is best.

If you mean “developped” vs “develloping”.

The HDI of the US is significantly lower than canada or northern europe, but still much higher than the world average.

Here’s an Inequality Adjusted version of the Human Development index, the US comes 27th, below Estonia and Cyprus, but 27th out of nearly 200 is counted as “develloped”.

Holy shit that is disturbing

Too bad lemmy doesn’t have a “prisonhooch” community as far as I know. That tends to attract far more people as it costs less

should put this in !til@lemmy.world

Oh come on you don’t need to downvote me for that. I’m not a professional on a computer, I’m a disabled bedridden person who is unable to use computers. Just let me exist please.

Nor am I a native english speaker :)

Edit: Lmao this guy went and downvoted every single one of my recent comments because of this.

Yep I really don’t think their asking that the person be a professional graphic designer and VFX producer.

Sounds like they want someone who can use imovie and canva.

well music is entrenched in popular culture so I “hear” (more like read) a lot about it. Not really podcast though

Me someone with an illness who is unable to properly process sound: Podcasts are a thing?

Happy cake day!!

Trump recently threatened multiple times to jail zuck. I wouldn’t be suprised if that had an impact on this decision.

I give. But also I talk, I listen, I don’t toss a coin and ignore.

I genuinely take the time to talk to someone. If they seem nice, safe, and don’t strike me as being “impulsively dangerous”, I might invite them to share a meal with me, or to a café.

Obviously I can’t do this for everyone, but when I’m low on money like you, I might literally just invite someone to my home and make them a piece of toast, ask them what their day to day is like, if it sounds like they need an old blanket, give them one if I’ve got a spare.

Global warming will be fucked.

But COVID infections still disable around 2% of people who contract it for life. Now let covid keep on running around for a couple decades and a very large chunk of the population is going to have major issues.

I’m bedridden since 4 years with a lifelong disease caused by a covid infection. And I only see our numbers growing. 2% per infection is the most conservative estimate. The NIH says 5%

Funny how last time this happened the headines were: “Arab immigrant attacks swiss family with machete.”

And now that it’s a Swiss man, they don’t mention nationality or race in the headline.

As someone disabled by covid, I think the world even regressed by covid.

Pre-covid we didn’t have half the population denying that a common virus existed or refusing to get vaccinated.

Eh. Half of that 2.7 billion being put into research into a disease like Myalgic Enceph. (ME) could probably significantly improve the quality of life of 80 million people who have one of the worlds most disabling diseases.
