Woah, story time?

[looks around NL nervously....]

Hey, I've seen you around before....

Are we more cute when not worrying about zero days?

This is the way. Would add Whiskeytown/Ryan Adams. Maybe a tiny bit of Wilco?

..created by, come on, say it with me: the fucking VVD who a couple of hours ago "washed their hands of it."

It's an urban / rural divide the VVD exploited for years, privatizing everything so that your town has one bus that maybe runs once an hour, of course you're pissed. And probably are ok with blaming people with different color skin for it instead of the conservatives who did this to you.

Weirdly enough I dreamt someone did this right in front of me last night. My subconscious is odd.

I like the cut of your jib!

Gave you and upvote to get you back off zero and agree with your general sentiment.

But - the elections since Trump took the ROC convention have all been different - we must get rid of all the R's we can no matter what at the local, state and national level as soon as possible now that the have proven to be an existential threat to democracy itself.

Don't have anything to contribute, but saving this post for its very useful content!

Part of it would depend on whether or not it has, as required of all self propelled ships above a low threshold GRT, an AIS transceiver. If it's got one, and it's on, I can find the ship in seconds (access to multiple large terrestrial and satellite AIS systems at work).

But I guess if they never intend to go anywhere near Port State Control, they could just turn their AIS off. People do it all the time to violate sanctions, avoid pirates, etc.

The author is on Mastodon, and I just sent her a message about this Lemmy post. So, I suppose we'll see.

I personally think you are wrong since the original source is reputable. BUT I too find it a bit odd no one else seems to have picked up on this sensational piece.

If nothing else, perhaps we can use your doubt to raise awareness of this story.

Very helpful, saved me time while at work, thanks!

I'm curious for a friend (really!) I see we can get this OTC in a cream or other topical application format, but the article references a pill.

Generally speaking one molecule is not efficacious a both topical and oral routes - any idea about this one?

Just a minor but important point: being neurodivergent is not a "mental health disorder."

I do agree it plays a role in boys becoming incels, but it's not in the same category as depression or anxiety disorders.

Edit for the replies I got: I strongly believe our society needs to stop looking at neurodivergent people as somehow "wrong" or "messed up." Your brain is your brain just like your skin color is your skin color, and no should be discriminated against for either. In this case, it really is society that needs change, not the individual. It's uncomfortable or even traumatic for the individual because of how other people react to them, not because of who they fundamentally are. Having to Face all the time, being forced into far too stimulating situations, having very few people understand your needs while at the same time foisting their expectations on you is exhausting. And it shouldn't have to be this way.

Have an upvote, but I don't really agree with you. Here in the Netherlands about the time my two boys entered elementary school the government took a look at the stats and realized that boys over the last decade had poorer outcomes post secondary education than girls. So, they (to decidedly mixed success) added some more and more frequent physical activity including something that translates to rock and water, which is kinda hard to explain, but is a way to use physical exercise to teach boundaries. You can see similar stats regarding differences in outcomes for men and women in university graduation rates in America and the UK.

The point I'm trying to make is that something in our systems changed, and to some it appears to be a kind of zero sum game (which I do not believe it is or has to be). I mean sure there is a chance that producing better outcomes for girls, which is great, has had some negative effect on boys; the problem is we cannot tell if the two are related, outside of some inherent gross physical differences in size, strength etc. Thus, the incels immediately jumped to the conclusion that its "teh Femmminizzzz."

And I do agree with the OP of this sub-thread that it is a very difficult process to realize your privilege, to see beyond it and then through someone else's eyes. Unless you are lucky and either hit just the right place to start researching or have friends who can help, if you didn't internalize your privilege at an early age, it's a long ass road. Took me a good decade, and most weeks I come across something I still hadn't learned.

I've brought both my boys up to understand exactly how privileged they are to have been born white, with a dick, straight, and in a wealthy W European country. I see many fathers and mothers here in NL have done the same. The kids these days really are all right. So I have real hope the Zoomers by and large and the incel subculture notwithstanding will simply never internalize the hateful points of view we Xers had to brute force our way out of.

And sometimes such schools rebel, like all of the Duke foundation schools, although admittedly Furman was dragged kicking and screaming by its students (and lucky got two surprise and astonishing endowments right after, basically fuck-you levels of money).

There is a big difference between a person or group of people being religious nutjobs and a nation basing holidays received and (in most developed nations, neutered) traditions

Thank you for the measured response.
