Pointing with two fingers is just seen (kind of universally across cultures) as being non-accusatory.

womp, citation needed. not to be a downer but this would be waaaay way too interesting if true to let it be said without some grounds

who is linkerbaan?

Walk around like you’re the king, it’s just another day, and nothing can go wrong (nothing that really matters) and you’ll sleep like a baby.

Wait what? Am I slow or are you saying Mozilla has been “simping for Trump”?? How??

I’m still pissed at the way Reddit was celebrating Musk’s takeover, as if it was some big loss to him. Oh boy, a billionaire lost some money that he would have wiped his ass with, this is great as long as the fascist doesn’t turn the biggest social media platform into a fascist mouthpiece!

I don’t think a lot of Lemmy users are out in the world doing much punching.

But imaginary numbers were created to solve problems!

every American has an ID number too… I get the comparison you’re making but I don’t think birth certificates are inherently dystopian. there’s plenty of actual shit to be mad about, such as 14 pages of dead babies, without having to complain about mundane shit

proudly proclaiming that you use slurs… doesn’t mean it’s not a slur

lonely island

try a DBT program xd

good points! this is a decent depiction of exposure therapy.

TW have an odd history. they originally were very useful, because one thing you forgot to mention about exposure therapy is all the work that needs to be done leading up to it. you have to have physical grounding skills in place before exposing someone to adverse stimuli.

so imagine you have severe PTSD from SA and a college class is gonna show a film that depicts it in an ugly scene. it could fuck up your whole semester to have traumatic stress symptoms come back unexpectedly. I’m talking panic attacks, flashbacks, mood disruption, difficulty controlling violent impulses, difficulty concentrating, difficulty connecting with others… PTSD can be wild.

so the prof might give a TW on the syllabus, so people just dont come in that day if they don’t wanna see it.

nowdays TW is just “here’s a thing you dont like!” not “here’s something that could potentially ruin your life again”

not if you live in certain US states and you make a threat that your are going to harm yourself or someone else. depends on the state but they can hold you for a psych eval for a few days, maybe a week

So the reason to limit immigration is because you fail to teach them the language? How is that a reason, and not just one form of limitation?

Instead, why not ask: why not invest more into supporting integration programs? Because immigration tends to have hugely positive impacts on the target society. The only reason not to invest in it would be… 🤔 some kind of fear…

This is dubious. Immigration can have massive positive benefits to the target economy.

Nations always have people coming in and out. Immigration isn’t inherently about the influx.

I would be really hesitant to trust the answers here. How many people responding on Lemmy actually have an educated position on how these systems work? Because I can tell you that there are some fields where Lemmy users are just plain ignorant, while displaying all the confidence of certainty. Especially when you include Europeans on the topic of race… what a shitshow.

The safe reading of this thread is to assume every response is an ignorant, bitter xenophobe who gets all their info from a Fox news equivalent. You can still hear their point, but don’t be fooled into thinking they aren’t missing something that completely flips the story.

Satisfactory just got it’s 1.0 full release yesterday, plenty of fun to be had

Americans fetishizing Japanese culture is gross enough without the awful, verbose, melodramatic storytelling. Also the Japanese language is fucking hard and I’m not particularly interested in learning it. I’d watch the fuck out of Korean anime if their storytelling wasn’t just as thick, though.

n e girls here? ASL?
