Thank you for linking this. I’m always looking for something interesting on here to scroll through on my lunch break.

If only the higher-ups got into dangerous mishaps, followed by you and your coworkers singing a song about what they did wrong.
I can’t speak for everyone. All I know is that every time I notice the deduction in my paycheck that’s going toward my health insurance, I’ll be thinking of this. Same with when I have to pay a co-pay despite having said-insurance. Or when I get a text from the urgent care, months after my visit, telling me I still have “a balance” to resolve…
Really, there is no shortage of reminders for many of us. As long as the system keeps squeezing us, we will have plenty of reminders.
The fun thing about this is that the more the media doubles down on "he's a right-winger!", the more united the rest of us may become over him.
Think about it - Hardcore right-wingers in the US strongly wish to associate with "their own" team/teammates. If Luigi had been left-wing, this division tactic could have worked to convince a number of them to turn against him. Instead, highlighting his conservative viewpoints gives right-wingers more reason to cheer for him.
Meanwhile, left-wingers and their diversity tend to identify less as a single "team." They've got more free-thinkers, both of the scientific "skeptic" mindset and of the artistic "open possibilities" mindset (or both.) Either way, there is recognition that they aren't all going to agree 100% with each other on everything, but they still recognize that we're all in this together.
Oh, absolutely. I can’t imagine Musk is used to it. I gotta admit, I get a petty kick out of the idea that he’s struggling to keep a kid in line. After living in that privileged bubble surrounded by “yes men” and outsourcing parenting duties for so long, he’s suddenly at the whims of a small child. That loss of control is massive.
There is so much going on in this picture, and nobody looks comfortable. Musk looks like he's struggling to keep the kid next to him. The guy with the earbuds behind him seems alarmed for some reason. Everyone else looks bored at best.
Though to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if every room Musk went into had a mix of people feeling either bored, alarmed, or desperate to escape.
Have you tried the Lex app?
It started off as a WLW text-based dating app, modeled off of old school newspaper personal ads. Over the years, it has evolved into a queer social media site (with dating as one of its key components.) Highly recommended. It's where I found my girlfriend. :)
Just a reminder that it’s not a binary world
Obviously. That's why we're in this "bathroom" situation to begin with.
My brothers: Punch each other, wrestle each other, cram each other into pillow cases and cardboard boxes, all the while yelling and screaming.
Mom: Says nothing.
Me (daughter): Doesn’t want to “sit like a lady” when watching TV, and wants to play in the dirt. Complains when she’s expected to keep herself to a higher standard than her brothers.
Mom: Sighs Girls are so much more difficult than boys!
Even if it's with rice?
Is the updated version worth it? I loved that game as a kid, but can't find it in me to fork over $60 just to play with better graphics.

I was kicked off Medicaid at the start of this year and subsequently lost access to my ADHD and depression medication. In February, I moved to a new area and got a new job, but had to wait several months until I qualified for health insurance through it.
After that point, I had to wait for a weekday when I wasn't working and when I had the mental capacity to tolerate back-to-back disappointing phone calls... all without medication that would make the process significantly easier to tolerate. These are only the calls I've made today.
Finally, FINALLY, I have an intake appointment scheduled.
It's absolutely shameful how much a struggling person is expected to do in order to access basic mental health care.

Agreed. On Reddit, if you weren’t there in the first hour of a rising post, your comment won’t be seen by many.
I love that Lemmy posts have a longer “shelf life,” so to speak. I can see something posted days ago and still find fresh comments, which in turn encourages me to add something if it feels relevant. If I had scrolled a two day old post on Reddit, any comment I add would be rarely seen, or at most responded to with “Why are you commenting on a dead post?”
