They really use civilians and rocks for military purposes in this war. It’s fascinating to think about.

Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyzto News@lemmy.world•For these voters, Tim Walz is a reminder of their dad - before they were lost to partisan division2·11 months agoThanks for that. Genuinely. I see sentiments like yours so often and I’m very happy for every person for whom this works but it’s so dangerous to tell it to randos on the internet with so much certainty when we don’t know their story and circumstances. I’m glad people slowly wake up to different people having different familys. Cheers
Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyzto News@lemmy.world•For these voters, Tim Walz is a reminder of their dad - before they were lost to partisan division2·11 months agoTried talking to my family. Only got more trauma. Am very happy when they die and I feel safe. Maybe some sort of compromise works for you but not everyone works the same.
Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyzto News@lemmy.world•For these voters, Tim Walz is a reminder of their dad - before they were lost to partisan division2·11 months agoI think the idea many of these right wing people have about family is a very authoritarian one.

Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyzto Animals and Pets@beehaw.org•Legacy and Life Story of Keiko, orca star of "Free Willy"2·1 year agoMiami Seaquarium applies for a permit to capture Keiko and bring him to their tank in Miami, which is smaller than the tank he was saved from in Mexico City. The application is rejected on the grounds that Norway has jurisdiction and has stated flatly that Keiko will not be captured because he is just fine, and they don’t believe orcas should be held in captivity anyway.
All these Aquariums and “experts”/media channels that spread misinformation have a lot to answer for. He may not have joined a pod but which pod is going to let a random middle aged guy with a weird accent around their calves? That would have taken time Keiko didn’t have. I’m glad orcas are phased out of aquariums who can’t care for them.

He’s a trained chef. It started when I was three and only stopped when I moved out and stopped eating his meals.
Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyzto Autism@lemmy.world•Why self-diagnosis is valid, all the arguments in one videoEnglish3·1 year agoThe weirdest thing about this discourse is that people against it somehow seem to be very convinced self diagnosis is exclusively done based on internet memes or something along those lines. I spend years researching, reading multiple books by actual experts, reading scientific publications and hanging out in autism spaces to see if I fit in.
… Almost like somebody who tends to … Oh idk have a special interest.
And the contra side also dismisses privilege. It’s known that autism is under diagnosed in minorities. And things like I’d need to travel 5 hours (one way) multiple times to get a diagnosis. Potentially staying overnight. They’d want to talk to my abusive parents. I’m chronically ill. It’s not realistic and I live in a country that has reasonable health care. I wouldn’t magically be employable afterwards anyway or have some other tangible benefit. I’d just get somebody in a 15 € white coat tell me what I already know. Or dismiss me because they read me as the wrong gender and yolo autistic people don’t have humor.
Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyzto Autism@lemmy.world•Why self-diagnosis is valid, all the arguments in one videoEnglish1·1 year agoSame. What a dismissive person.
This is a bit of a long shot. Does this work with tracking devices? I’m looking for a degoogled way to track my cat and somebody linked me here.
