  • Remove all context from that photo. That's what I see. Whether staged or not, children on both sides are experiencing these things. Once you become a parent, providing you wanted to be one intentionally, you see all children, not just your own, as innocence and any perception of grief for the loss of that child as personally identifiable and deeply felt. We, as a species and society, have lost our humanity if we look at a picture like that, no matter the context, and don't immediately feel sadness for the known innocence lost.

    I say this unironically, but I pity you.

  • As a sysadmin, if I'm ever told to not provide browser choices to my users, I'll quit. It's sad that your work pigeonholes you into a single choice.

  • As a father of a soon-to-be-4-year-old, that picture tears me up inside. I can't fathom losing my son, especially not in this way. That goes for both sides of this fucking terrible thing.

    Children. Are. Not. Acceptable. Collateral. Damage.

  • "Won't do what we want? Want to vote with Democrats to stop government shutdown? Fine get the fuck out McCarthy, no one is good enough to fill that seat! We'll get our hostage (govt shutdown) anyway until we get what we want."

    • These Republican shit eaters, probably.
  • I love The Satanic Temple and totally approve of their methods. Their way of trolling the Christian rights' insufferable need to put their dicks into everything, is what I live for! They do so much good for their communities. They're the "troll" version of humanists.

  • Of course he lied. He was orbiting Mars after successfully terraforming it and starting new life with his super seed. It takes like...minutes to get from Mars to Earth based on his proprietary engine design and personal 'ok' from space Jesus to break the law (of relativity), but still more time than it would have taken him to save another niece from the Chinese! He probably would have used one of his clones, but they were all indicted for public intoxication and wreckless driving of a time machine.

  • They haven't cared that children are gunned down at school. At least this way they pay their way. Freeloaders!

  • Nice try fuck face. You're literally on TV talking to, about, and with her. Fuck, this guy is insufferable. I'd go to church everyday and pray to whatever God would end his existence* so we don't have to listen to this shit anyone.

    *not condoning any violence against another human being by a human being; only divine intervention which seems to be a thing people believe in and how it can happen by magic sky daddies

  • My question is, when this shit passed, why did no one tell those fucks, "ok you're people too, which means the laws that pertain to a person are now applicable to whatever CEO and board members approved decisions that broke those laws." As it is right now, those fuckers get their cake and eat it too and it infuriates me to no end.

  • You're father along in the tech than I am, so kudos! I tried docker and just couldn't get things to work how I wanted or expected. I'm sure I'll try again in the future but had a kid in 2019 so haven't really revisited it! You give me hope!!

  • I love you and your explanation. My wife has done them a couple of times. I've been listening to, "How to change your mind" audiobook, and it makes me really want to experience it. I'm an empath so I fully expect to experience the ego death and I welcome the experience no matter how it goes. I have saved your message and will definitely look into that lemmy group and see about setting up my own temp grow environment.

    I appreciate you!

  • A lot of great research is going into CBD and I'm all about it. It shows all the positives without a lot of the negatives. The PTSD and depression research is especially helpful knowing how many of my fellow vets are suffering from such ailments!

  • This doesn't help. Just like some medications can't be taken by certain types of people, it's not outside the realm of possibilities that someone's experience is different than the norm or different than your own. We should be helping, educating, and loving the experience, not denigrating those who have experiences outside of our own or expectations.

    I implore you take time to consider the person's experience, and how yours may not be the only one, before insulting them for theirs. Nothing but love and kindness your way. Be well!

  • I think some of it depends on where you live, what repercussions you have if caught, and how safe you feel when doing them (environment, friends, activities, etc.). I'm good now, but when it was illegal where I live, I found it harder to enjoy weed.

    There also tends to be a level of anxiety felt strongly by those who bought into the "just say no" era of the war on drugs. That's not bad, and I definitely understand it having been on the "drugs are bad, m'kay" side of things, but the more your believed minor drug use turned you into a junkie, the harder it was to question that.

    My older sister is one of those types who still believe the propaganda. I get it and do not push it, but when she brings it up, I talk honestly about it. I think it's helped her feel comfortable about the idea, but not enough to try it. I respect that.

  • I noticed, when I smoked like a fish -- taking a hiatus from October 1 through the end of the year -- I noticed a lot more connections between bullshit than when sober. It offers you a bit of insight that either makes you say, "hmm," and move on with your day, or drives you to anger that you can't see such things while sober.

  • I hate myself, this world, and most people so much that I want to do psychedelics just to kill that side of me and, hopefully, start feeling like I have some sort of power again. I am about to look into buying the spores and growing my own, but I don't want a shit ton of extra shrooms. I just want to do one heavy dose, let my inner id die, and live my life again.

  • Doesn't he have blood cancer or some shit? If so, all he had to do was "retire" to his multiple mansions, and billions in the bank, and be toted as a hero of Russia when he dies. Now, regardless of what he chooses to do, he's fucked. If he doesn't find a way to save face, something will eventually remove him from power; his people or his body.
