Not only schools, there are whole neighborhoods in most cities that are nothing less than a war zone with people involved being younger and younger. Why should gangs risk jail when they can recruit bored teens or tweens to do their dirty work and not be charged as adults?

But a few damaged Teslas are a problem?

Gen X here, I only use unscented dryer sheets because if I don’t I will get shocked a lot. My apartment is great because the humidity is super low in the winter, but clothing hurts. Humidifier doesn’t work because if I don’t use distilled water everything gets a rust color on it. Also I’d be going through a gallon of distilled water a day. I can’t afford that, but I sure as heck can afford a big box of unscented dryer sheets that solves my problem.

So are they committing mass genocide in Gaza to clear the way for Trump to buy it or is that no longer a thing? I can’t keep up with this shit anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, this is disgusting.

Who the hell would want to come to this country with all this shit going on?

If my SSDI payment doesn’t show up you can bet I will raise hell. It’s going to possibly mess up my Medicaid and Medicare. And if it’s a long term issue my HUD housing.

FAFO and shit’s going to get ugly quick. Well, as quick as my disabled ass can move

I knew what I was going to find when I looked for my state and find out I’m even poorer than I thought I was 😣

It goes farther than that, it’s a Republican issue and has been for decades. Trump is just saying the quiet parts out loud.

And traumatizing the fuck out of me because I grew up with a narcissistic parent and was subject to her wildly changing decisions, gaslighting, and her always saying the quite part out loud as if they are incapable of thinking without speaking.

I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll be next to be disappeared after they get all the “illegals” disappeared because I’m a parasite according to Elon since I’m on SSDI, Medicaid, and in a HUD apartment. Oh and I have a history of mental illness.

Does this asshat realize that the only non-immigrants in this country are the Native Americans? I mean even after 9/11 there weren’t mass deportations of people of Middle Eastern descent. Racism and prejudice, yes, but this is ridiculous all because of Fentanyl?

I have a better and more empathetic idea – meet people where they are and help them find a path that works for them to get out of the addiction spiral. This is just going to lead to an increase in drug prices, which will lead to even more crime.

I just got an HDHomeRun that I use with an antenna and love it. I use Mac and they are one of the only boxes that works on Mac.

They don’t have a native Linux client, but you can use VLC supposedly: https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/linux

You make good points. I hope you are right about universal healthcare but I’m not holding my breath on that one

I can’t tell if they’re joking or are dead serious anymore.

I have a mental illness – 2 of them actually, Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Possibly will get PTSD thrown in that mix soon too. Therapists and Psychiatrists use a little book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5 for short. Unless they can convince the APA to include TDS in the DSM-6 then it’s not a mental illness.

This is nothing but thought policing and a way to label someone with mental illness when they really don’t have one. It’s also causing all of the work that’s been done recently by NAMI, MHA, and AFSP to try to end the stigma surrounding mental illness to be set back to the era of mental institutions (something that their beloved Reagan did away with).

But what the hell, might as well add it to the DSM-6 and slap TDS on top of all my other mental illnesses 🤷🏻‍♂️

Red states won’t because MAGA

Blue states don’t want to risk loosing anymore funding

For me to rely on Lemmy for news, there needs to be a LOT more action. Right now Reddit can be my sole news source because of how many people are on there.

The problem can be seen when looking at Twitter/X and the exodus that has been happening there. Mastodon was touted as a Twitter alternative but the onboarding was so confusing due to being federated. People don’t want to be confused they want things simple. This is why BlueSky took off rather than Mastodon.

Anyone remember Diaspora?*

Decentralization is not a new idea, it’s just too confusing to the masses right now. While the Lemmy onboarding process is actually pretty good, picking an instance is a trip up (it was for me for a very long time and I’m tech-savvy). Until that part is solved centralized services will always have more migrating users sadly.

And they confuse the two and think they’re being empathetic. I’m not even sure they have sympathy anymore.

So I’m not so sure this is actually a Science Meme other than proving that sometimes history does repeat itself?

I was skeptical that this was actually real, but it is indeed on the NYT website and the image was taken from their “Timeline view”

I lost that option when I had to wait 2 years for my SSDI to be approved. 😣

I’m on disability and the last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking that I haven’t been thinking rationally about this situation and that I’d be homeless if my SSDI suddenly disappeared or was clawed back. My therapist considers it catastrophizing.

Turns out my fears ARE rational, we’re just living in a completely irrational timeline.
