This is a really good perspective too!
We are the ones with ‘invisible illnesses’. They are every bit as real as a physical disability, or other organs/body systems not working.
You don’t tell someone to ‘man up’ when they have diabetes, so why say it to someone who has a mood disorder?
I feel your pain! Sometimes I feel like I’m ‘unworthy’ of being helped. I try to remind myself that it’s not my fault my brain doesn’t work right, and there are tons of people out there who have no issue helping people like me, like us.
It is indeed!
I would abolish toilets without bidets. You would be legally required to have a bidet in all bathrooms, private and public. Worldwide!
I think of a Lemmy account on an instance the same as an email address: it doesn’t really matter which one you pick. Pick one that works best for you. Yes, you are beholden to the instance, but it’s the same with Gmail, Outlook, GMX, etc. They can close your account at any time, but they likely won’t.
Of course it does matter a bit what instance you pick: you want one that is well-federated with other communities that will have content/users you will enjoy engaging with. I’m pretty sure you can visit a list on each instance that shows what instances it is federated with.
Is measles going to become a large problem again? Because it sounds like it is.
They’re all great, I lol’d
Completed a torrent I was downloading for almost 2 years by adding trackers from this list. It helps!
It’s always easier said than done!
All my life, I’ve watched the US slide. But it’s crazy it’s falling apart right now. Seems surreal for some reason.
I care about Americans and America. There are many good people, who care about me, and us. They deserve to thrive in a secure, prosperous country. I don’t want to discount a nation just because of the idiots.
I love the African philosophy of ubuntu: ‘I am who I am, because of who we all are’
🤣🤣🤣
I never did a DNA test but both my parents did… How screwed am I?
Looks like Kim Jong Un in his profile pic
Art of the deal!
I went to the states a couple years back. Went to a tavern and was deciding on a beer. Bartender overhears I’m Canadian and tells me the size of the pints in decilitres 🙄
For what it’s worth, I’m pretty comfortable with FL oz from reading soda cans and stuff. I just find it crazy how unintuitive metric is to some.
I appreciated his effort, I just thought it was funny
I can tell the future based on what color of shirt I wear. If I wear a white shirt, I know I will probably eat spaghetti or pizza that day.
Troth Sential!
