Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y’alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.
For example: someone intentionally misspeaks, pretending as if it was an error or Freudian slip, in order to subtley communicate their true intentions
Looking for some ideas of things to watch I like: animated, SF and comedy movies :)
I want to be respectful but if they say they don’t care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to “they” because choosing a gender for them feels weird… am I wrong?
How close was it?
Assume you’re life-lusted and are willing to abandon every moral you have just to live. Paying for cancer treatment is also worth prison time to you....

I’m about to sound like the ignorant American I am, so I apologize in advance! We’re looking at a trip to Germany, and possibly Prague, and we’ve noticed that a lot of the hotel names are French and a couple hotels that aren’t named in French have replied to comments with things like “Bonjour! etc etc” What’s up...
I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...
I hadn’t cried in 7 years and decided to do some emotional exercises to make myself cry. So I managed to cry about 4 months ago, haven’t been able to since even with my grandmothers death. Might start trying again.
My job is very dirty and labour intensive so i don’t understand why I make 1000 words a day on those days, but 200 words a day on weekends.
hi everyone, my audio interface is on (and thus drawing power) but it’s not being detected by my computer as an input output device, thoughts?...
Hi everyone , is there an Lemmy community like feddifollows in Mastodon to discover interesting Lemmy communities?
