You are suffering exhaustion as a symptom of your depression? That is what this post sounds like.
Not sure we can help with that.
When I have exhaustion from overwork and cannot immediately adjust my circumstances, giving up (acceptance of what is going on) and more exercise, even if it means less sleep time available, has been the most helpful but it’s a short term strategy. The exercise improves my sleep and raises my spirits.
Then eventually the stress ends and I get a migraine :( and then back to my normal.
I’ve noticed this with my kids’ schools. Many kids are open about who they are - LGBT+, neurodivergent, mental illnesses, etc. - and people are generally accepting of that. When I was a kid, people were bullied relentlessly for showing any form of difference from “normal”. It makes me happy to hear them talk about things like that like its no big deal…because it shouldn’t be.
Stealing billions of dollars from a country you invaded and bombed for two decades is not okay just because you don’t like the state. Collective punishment, which is what this actually constitutes, violates the Geneva Convention during war, and is unconscionable.
Please do some introspection on whether starving children is such great “own”.
Yes, of course it will. It already distributes food. The thing you think is absurdly improbable happens every day in Afghanistan. You should ask yourself how you could be so confidently wrong.
I have never said anything so simplistic. The reality is that this post supports the collective punishment visited on the people of Afghanistan after the US ended its two decade hot war there.
I would hope that people be less cruel and bloodthirsty.
Lying like this is why most people like me just make fun of you instead of trying to explain why you shouldn’t celebrate the acts that were designated war crimes because the Nazis did them so much. Personally, I don’t think it should require much explaining, but I am always available if you would like to engage in good faith.
I’m not talking about collective punishment, you brought that up bc you support groups that collectively punish women for existing. I just hate the taliban, and I’m not such a cartoonish misogynist or dumbass tankie that I think they’re cool and OK just bc they hate women or oppose the US. I really hope you come to that conclusion too, but if you don’t we should meet up so I can knock all your teeth out :3
When I point out that it’s bad for Afghanistan to “go broke” because it means the starvation of the population, you respond by vilifying the Taliban. Obviously, this is not a direct response to what I actually said, so we have to put on our thinking caps. This attempt to justify the starvation of a population either by deflection or a more concrete but implicit logic is the logic of collective punishment.
you brought that up bc you support groups that collectively punish women for existing
I have nerve said anything like this.
I just hate the taliban, and I’m not such a cartoonish misogynist or dumbass tankie that I think they’re cool and OK just bc they oppose the US.
It sounds like you are having a rich disagreement with the person in your head. And you are even winning! But it has no relation to me.
I really hope you come to that conclusion too, but if you don’t we should meet up so I can knock all your teeth out :3
We have now reached the “threats of violence” portion if the Lemmy.world experience. And all because I don’t think the country of Afghanistan deserves to starve just because the Taliban is its government.
You responded to criticism of the state of women's rights under Taliban governance with criticism of America, you absolutely said something exactly that simplistic. If the post was saying that America and/or its allies should re-invade or otherwise try to overthrow the Taliban, sure, you might have a point, but it isn't
You responded to criticism of the state of women’s rights under Taliban governance
That is not what I responded to. If you would re-read what I said, I am focused on the material deprivation of the entire country that is the “go broke” part of this meme and consistent with OP’s behaviors elsewhere.
You can also see from the responses so far that the logic of collective punishment is appealing to at least a few people here.
with criticism of America
Afghanistan is “broke” because the US invaded it, subjected it to two decades of war, stole a huge portion of its foreign reserves when it left, and then leveraged a massive sanctions regime. The “go broke” can mean nothing other than referring to how impoverished Afghanistan has become due to these actions.
you absolutely said something exactly that simplistic.
I did not. Quote me if you disagree. I was pithy, there is no need to try rephrasing it on my behalf.
If the post was saying that America and/or its allies should re-invade or otherwise try to overthrow the Taliban, sure, you might have a point, but it isn’t
It is celebrating the government of Afghanistan being poor.
This has literally nothing to do with women’s rights. The US doesn’t give a flying fuck about women’s rights in Afghanistan, any more than it does in Gaza, where it’s supporting the genocide of men, women, and children alike. It doesn’t care about them in Iran either, or anywhere else.
The US empire’s “humanitarian concerns” have always been bullshit, an excuse, a pretext. Neocolonial empire don’t give a fuck.
If that hydrogen was previously incorporated in a star, I think it’s fair to call it stardust. That’s very likely, since our solar system would have formed from a relatively dense cloud of the remnants of earlier stars, with just a smidge of primordial hydrogen mixed in.
It just means the remnants of the Big Bang that mostly created hydrogen, helium, and lithium. There’s nothing particularly special about it other than the possibility that it is as old as creation because there are stable isotopes.
All of the hydrogen was created at the initial cooling of the big bang. In this case what I mean by primordial, is that it was never part of a larger composite object like a star.
I also like the science behind particles like neutrinos blasting their way through everything in space and matter, even through our own bodies and cells. Every once in a while, one of those tiny particles hits a piece of DNA at just the right spot to cause a chain reaction that leads to a new minor or major mutation in the next generation. It’s generally thought that this kind of physics is one of forces that drive evolution of all lifeforms on our planet.
We are made of star stuff … and we are and will always be affected by star energy.
I have 100% completed all the season objectives for Diablo 4: Season 5, so I'm setting aside my Necromancer and rebuilding my Sorcerer, just for fun. I thought about rebuilding my Barbarian as well, but after I heard about all the crazy changes coming to season 6 with character progression, I think I'll hold off for now.
I finally completed Alien: Isolation on PC with 100% achievements! I'm just gonna... ignore the other achievements that I have left on other platforms, lol. For now.
A re-re-released version of Doom is on GamePass since Legacy of Rust was released last month, so I've been hopping on every now and then to blast my way through demons.
There used to be a dick tree at (The college of) William and Mary (not) University, it wasn’t natural but a six foot dick carved into the tree. I first noticed it in 07 and it survived until at least 2015 then some dick cut the tree down.
It was actually a great land mark to figure out which way to get to the stadium.
The touchbar appears to just be a very small touchscreen monitor. I’ve seen people use it to display bars on Linux. Not sure how much you have to fuck around with things to get it to work though
I use Casa"OS". It’s fine, but nothing groundbreaking. Cockpit for example can do pretty much the same, and for Docker containers, I nowadays mostly use docker compose.
But hey, it helped me a quite a bit in the beginning, and it’s cool. Pretty basic, but enough for most people, mainly beginners.
