I’m guessing that these are the kind that fog as soon as the doors locked.

karbonkel ,

Even then, this is so unnecessarily uncomfortable.

madcaesar ,

If true and not Photoshop, what a colossal, awful waste of money and resources. They are fucking public toilets, no-one wants to see that shit… Ever.

The most used lie is “I’ve read the TOS and PP” before clicking in “Accept”, the biggest joke is the sentence with which start every PP “Your privacy is very important for us”.

Instead of groiping about problems all the time, we should also be thankful for all the great things they invented, like microchips and food abundance.

Rom ,

Are those things supposed to make up for the mass extinction event they caused?

dunning_cougar ,

I think their accomplishments weigh favorably in the balance

Rom ,

I don’t think anything can possibly balance the massive, irreparable destruction that’s been done to this planet, but I guess that’s just me.

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Not sure why you’re assuming the people smart enough to create these major inventions aren’t also smart enough to understand their generation as a whole helped barrel us towards a climate disaster

argv_minus_one ,

Food abundance? Have you seen food prices lately?

Drusas ,

Food abundance came as a result of the industrial revolution, which started waaay before our parents were born.

dunning_cougar ,

Supermarkets haven’t been around that long. The wide variety we satisfy our picky apppetites with is miraculous!

mosiacmango ,

You think supermarkets were invented by boomers?

argv_minus_one ,

You admit, then, that food prices are made up to gouge us and have nothing to do with actual scarcity?

dunning_cougar ,

All product pricing is a complicated result of the economy. Thankfully scarcity is not a significant factor.

argv_minus_one ,

If scarcity is not the only factor, the prices are made up and we are being stolen from.

Haha ok this meme was good.

I’m one of the parents. Sorry for my generation. :)

cvozbosher ,

We know it’s not all of you. Your generation also fought for civil rights, explored space, invented jogging I think.

We have shitheels in our generation too. And I fear they’ll become more and more prominent as we get older. I hope we’re able to dampen their greed and intolerance.

So transparent attackers open sourced private information

“Your privacy is important to us” and “We care about your privacy.”

The fact that being stoic, emotionless or even cold is seen as a trait of masculinity is incredibly frustrating. I feel men should be encouraged to be passionate and expressive with their emotions. Anger shouldn't be the only one we encourage as a society. Have you ever seen a man glow up about his lego collection, or cry at a beautiful scene in a movie they love? More of that please.

Also, men are just as deserving of support networks as anyone else. Though we all experience life differently, we are all human in the end.

kat ,

The fact that people took Stoicism, a philosophy that’s basically cognitive behavioral therapy for emotional awareness, and twisted it to mean “stiff upper lip” or “repress everything lest you seem weak” is depressing as hell.

It’s one of the reasons I’ve taken a liking to Diogenes’ Cynicism, seeing past the “social norms” and dumb social organization ideas humans come up with.

kat ,

I also prefer the Cynics. Diogenes is metal as fuck, but my favourite part of Cynicism is that in my opinion, it contains the only true love story in Greek philosophy, Crates and Hipparchia who influenced Zeno, the founder of Stoicism. I’m a sucker for a good love story.

villasv ,

That, and at the same time it’s manly to be angry.

So you’re supposed to be emotionless, unless the emotion pushes towards violence.

chicagohuman ,

This is one reason that Star Trek and Spock and data resonate with me

Too real for me irl

Mine just accused me of being gay via hearty use of homophobic slurs, because only women and gays cry, and i wasnt no woman.

WhoRoger , to lemmy in exploding-heads are infiltrating our discussions
@WhoRoger@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe this was not done intentionally, but now there is a post with a list of ‘health communities on Lemmy’ with the first entry guiding to exploding heads. lemmy.world/post/396561

I’m building that list and no, it wasn’t intentional. It being first is completely accidental. As you can see, “general health” communities are at the top, and well the one from xheads is the most general purpose (another one is on Midwest US and the other is Mander so more scientific).

I didn’t know or even care where the communities come from. In the post I clearly state I don’t vouch for any of them, and people can let me know if they think some don’t belong.

I called for help or advice on multiple occasions, guess how many people offered any? Zero.

Honestly until this post I didn’t even know there’s any controversy with that instance. I never visited it, it’s just been under my radar. I know some instances don’t like other instances and it just becomes noise to me, honestly.

I don’t know what would you have me do here? Remove the link? What other links should I remove because some instances have some oddball users? Should I remove Lemmygrad links too?

I’m not claiming to be the Red Cross or anything, but I was hoping to have a neutral list that’s as complete as possible.

This may seem like a problem specific to this list of mine, but see how easy to suddenly be indirectly accused of supporting nazis or something. Let’s not be so hasty alright?

Btw, I was just about to try to figure out how or if to include lgbtq+ matters in the health community, and wanted to go ask some actual lgbtq+ people because I want their input rather than just guess myself. Now I’m wondering if I’d also be accused of being a provocateur or something else for trying to be open to everyone.

do you know that lemmygrad is a communist instance? free and effective healthcare is a cruical aspect of any communist country.

I know. My point was that everyone has some political disagreement with someone else, and I can’t care about those feuds or I’d have no list.

@XiaoHei@lemmy.world avatar

that is a fair point and i do not wish to make you feel bad just to share information about a tangible difference

fascists wish to kill those who require medical services as they are a burden to the state communists wish to help all people as it is the state’s duty to the people

thank you for your efforts on lemmy

Just curious as to why the landscape is so barren. What happened to the trees?

thisfro OP ,

I think there are two main reasons:

  1. 1000m is way above the tree-line (500-600m)
  2. Heavy deforestation across Scotland until the 20th century
SWIM , to gardening in What is happening to my cherry tomatoes? They get these bumps and then the leaves starts dying until it consumes the whole plant

The bumps on the stem are likely root initials. They are the earliest stage of development of a tomato’s roots. Most of the time, bumps are not harmful to tomato plants and are considered normal. Root initials emerge on a tomato stem as a result of stress – most often when there’s a limit or blockage in the stem.
