  • Raised in a Pentecostal church, which made the real world really hard to deal with. Ended up in public school, which started opening my eyes. Not in the classroom, just in the halls. Joined the Army. Met people from all walks. Saw the failings of policy while in Iraq.

  • I went back and looked at a few things, and realized some of the subs have gone sideways. There's no balance, and one side has taken control of the narrative. This is especially true of Ukraine war type subs, and other political stuff. I don't care about reddit, anymore, but an echo chamber is good for nobody.

  • For me, adults, because we have a lockdown unit where prisoners are kept for care. That unit is a great place to be, if you're having a hard time in prison, so you might ingest or shove something where you shouldn't. If I go only by ER visits, I'd think it was much closer to 50/50, but I still think 60/40 adults to kids.

    EDIT - The adults risk horrifying embarrassment while the parents of the kids risk jail time if they don't go in and something awful happens, not to mention the loss of your child, which is the main driver for most people. The adults risk death, too, but it's their own death.

  • Someone on lemmy put me onto Improve the News, which also has an app. Links to various outlets and papers around the world, and is transparent about where the news comes from. Possibly the best I've ever seen.

  • This is basically how I think of it. I know states aren't one thing, all the way through, but I categorize Kentucky with TN, NC, and WV. There are parts of OH that are basically KY, and NC gets much different further east, but generally, it makes sense. Definitely not midwest. Clearly not Southeast, despite UK being in the SEC.
