I can’t imagine what he would have done if you were from Vietnam. You were a kid just trying to do kid stuff.
Lately when I see old war photos I just think… they look so so so young. It’s a sad thought to have to go through this kind of experience so young, it’s going to shape who you are for the rest of your life.
POSIWID. Purpose of a system is what it does.
I’m this case, extract as much money as possible from the population.
Just watched a good episode of Jon Stewart’s podcast about abortion and some of the legal challenges going on. Jon shares a bit about his experience with IVF and his wife’s medical scare after birth. Very knowledgeable guests.
This is heart breaking and infuriating.
Animation ends in 2021. I think Firefox made at least a bit of a 2023 come back with the chrome privacy and ad block changes.
Can you eli5? Or like I’m a dumb dumb idiot? Please.
Electricity is one of those things I so badly want to understand and just seem to not be able to.
I think this is a really well done graphic. Details like the colour of the title corresponding to the colours of the data points… I like that. This is what I come to this community for. Thank you!
I watch a lot of late night shows and British current events shows (have I got news for you, the bugle podcast). Really wish there was something equivalent for Canada. I know there was “this hour has 22 minutes” and Rick Mercer but I don’t think they’re around any more.
Any other Canadian comedic current events options?
“Basement dwellers” implies parents with multi level houses. I feel like the kid living with their parents for a long time will become more of a thing but they’ll be lucky to have the privacy and space of a whole basement.
And so I say, basement dwellers? In this economy?
I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.
I enjoyed the exchange of ideas here and the way things were described and debated. Made me happy to be on Lemmy.
Saw this comment from someone in Germany, 3000-4000 euros and very intensive process. https://feddit.de/comment/7204601
On these types of forums it’s easy to jump into an argument about the technicalities or a post or comment.
You should know, though, that there is a theory called Ways of Knowing which defines Separate Knowing and Connected Knowing. It’s been a part of my masters program I’m taking.
Separate knowing disconnects the humanity and context from what’s being said and tries to only argue the “facts”. But facts, and the things people say, don’t just occur in a vacuum. It often is the case when people are arguing past each other, like on the internet.
Connected Knowing is approaching the thing someone said with the understanding that there is a context, humanity, biases, different experiences, and human error that can all jumble up when people are sharing information.
Maybe even just knowing that there’s different ways to know would be helpful for us to engage in a different level of conversation here. I’m not sure. I just wanted to share!

I swear I’d not seen the term “christofascism” until this year. It’s an apt term for all the talk about the new speaker of the house, rolling back of Roe v Wade, banning books and increased persecution of LGBT+ rights…
But if I was Christ I’d be pretty darn upset right now. I talk about love and tolerance and peace and you’re going to use my name to make shitty, power grabbing, political, oppressive moves? The fuckin audacity. I’d be flipping tables and calling out the hypocrites.
I know it’s a conversation as old as time. I also don’t believe Christian’s should be able to point at it and say “yeh but that’s not MY Jesus.” Doesn’t fucking matter, they’re identifying as a You so if You don’t do something about it then it’s as good as doin it yourself.
Sigh.
Hot seems meh. I usually go for Top: Day but then I run out. Recently tried most active by comments and liked it.
How y’all sorting your feeds?
I’m Canadian. And I’m already sorry for asking an ignorant question.
I know you have to pay for hospital visits in the states. I know lower economic status can come with lower access to birth control and sex education. But then, how do they afford to give birth? Do people ever avoid hospital visits because they don’t feel like they can’t afford it?
Do hospitals put people on a payment plan? Is it possible to give birth and not pay if you don’t have the means? How does it work in the states?
How does it all work?
Again. Canadian. And sorry.
I thought it was an intentional joke but he didn’t seem to think it was funny, even when I explained the “404: Office Not Found”.
I still think it’s objectively funny.
Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.
Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?
In like, 2005-2010ish I remember there being these awesome online games through sites like Mini Clip. All disappeared from the internet.
I understood it had something to do with Java? Or… some plug in? I don’t really understand what either of those mean.
What happened to online games?
I keep seeing references to RICO in the Trump Georgia stuff. What is it and how is it relevant to that case?
