  • We're talking with exception to people who don't threaten themselves or others. Themselves being the gray area.

    Of course you would only focus on people having a psychotic breakdown where they threaten others, but having a mental health crisis does not mean someone is automatically a threat to those around them.

    Here's a guide to de-escalating various mental health crisis situations.

  • If people are in crisis they have already lost their autonomy.

    Says who? You should defer drawing that line to the experts; who will likely agree with 2xsaiko. Not being able to perform your job or blend in with society is different from being a threat to others.

  • That's the problem. If you're evaporating plastic then you're definitely releasing a multitude of chemicals; some of which would likely be harmful. Since this is to be performed in large quantities that could be a significant amount of pollution.

  • It's a protest about women reasserting autonomy over their own bodies. The majority of men in the US have voted for a regime that has shown it does not regard women's rights. It could be different from person to person but it's mainly to show the government that women won't just be passive when laws try to force women to just be a submissive baby maker.

    Supportive men could do the same to maybe accellerate the cause until reasonable rights in the region are established for healthy childbirth and sex.

  • There are plenty of uses for it. There are also plenty of bad implementations that don't use it in a way that helps anyone.

    We're going through an overhyped period currently but we'll see actual uses in a few years once the dust settles. About 10 years ago, a similar thing happened with AI vision and now everyone has filters they can use on cameras and face detection. We'll reach another plateau until the next tech hype comes about.

  • He hasn't even tried redemption. Hell, he hasn't even begun to pay for his previous crimes and is looking to commit more crimes. Redemption is when people try to make things right. How can you say this is about giving second chances when all he's done is try the same shit the second time around. What a disappointment.

  • On a rooted phone, you could edit your /etc/hosts file with a list of blocked domains. Outside of that, I'm not aware of any way to have a filtering app and a VPN app at the same time.

    Alternatively, you could try hosting a DNS server that doesn't resolve the domains you want blocked, like a pihole server. Some VPN apps allow you to use your own DNS and if you're feeling up for it, there's apparently even a way to run a local DNS server using dnsmasq on your phone mentioned in this link.

  • It looks like they flagged her because she missed multiple check up appointments prior to delivery too, which apparently is a common sign of drug abuse. It really just seems like she's overwhelmed time-wise and really doesn't need 5 children but that's her choice as long as they aren't harmed.

  • If you're just storing the password on the key then, no you can't get it unless you have the key. The main usage (arguably) for a yubikey is the FIDO2 auth method where you add those keys as MFA methods. That would allow access using either key.

  • I think after 9/11 they were still the same old tactic they used in and after the cold war; security theater and fear mongering. But you're right, news and political representatives definitely weren't the completely open bigots that they are today though and I think you might be right about that time period being the start of today's Fox news.

    Social media definitely had a profound impact on politics, people's rights, and open bigotry. This definitely gave them the means to have more of a voice with younger demographics but I'll still argue that it wasn't until Trump entered the picture that they were able to really push their narrative and decouple "truth" from official news sources in the minds of many. I don't think I've seen so many people just repeat distorted views of reality at once until then.

  • This is definitely true. It's something I've heard Trump supporters argue about firsthand. But it's not just only racism or the threat of being a minority, but the fear of losing freedom to do what they want according to their own skewed morals. So while a decent chunk of why they think the way they do is sheer racism and fear around that (especially since the start of the BLM movement), it's not the core of the problem.

    I believe that this started as the resurgence of toxic masculinity in that Trump showing people it was okay to be misogynistic, racist, and homophobic in opposition to race, gender, and identity politics rising in the 2010s. Women's rights and LGBT people are in their sights as well and, despite their narrative fitting well with fundamentalist religious morals, this seems more like resentment that those movements didn't address their needs or issues. COVID restrictions that they disagreed with fanned the growing fire into the fulblown fascist conservative movement we see today.

    So I don't think it's the fact that cis het white people are in lower relative numbers but it's the event of rising social progressivism and more rights for minorities and women that spurred the antagonism of them.

    Tldr: Bigots are upset that they didn't get anything out of women's, LGBT, and minorities rights.

  • According to a paper published in 2020 here, the specific energy and energy density are in line with what you are saying. But according to the article that Wikipedia cited here, sodium batteries show the opposite.

    You're probably right but it looks like there's conflicting info about this currently.
