At work when management said due to iranian drone strikes and sirens we are supposed to go to bomb shelter rather than straight home, in the beginning of this conflict they said we are allowed to work from home later they said work from home is no longer allowed , when i said to my dad it’s unfair that we are not allowed to go home, he said

they aren’t paying you for free, others are also in similar condition what’s the big deal?

is that right or wrong? Or am i just over reacting

I will go first.

I hate how so many people act like every kind of art or media is now derivative because someone else out of billions of people and thousands of years had a somewhat similar idea.

Approximate location, price and date?

Edit: report back in a week any change if you remember.

E2: went up 9¢ since I posted this morning. $3.19 now.

E3: $3.30 now. ~20¢ in a day, 50¢ in 4 days.

Mine:

1. Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.
2. The only opinions about you that really matter are from the people you respect and who respect you back
3. Being a kind humble person, who leads their political convictions with curiosity and not self righteousness is important. As that one person said: "I am no hero and neither are you."
4. Don't throw out your old media (mix cds, tapes, records, photos, zinee, etc) because you think they're embarrassing. They either will not be embarrassing later or they will become expensive and you can tell them for mad bucks.

So I am reading this book for school. When I went on an MBTI database, I saw a comment for the main character's profile saying something like, "I haven't hated a character so much in a long time". When I looked, I saw a lot of positive reviews on the book and Daunis, as well as NEGATIVE. Many people have criticized the writing, calling Daunis misogynistic, a pick-me, etc.

Basically, from my understanding, she kinda wants to be one of the "guys", is a tomboy, likes hockey, criticizes other girls, specifically the girlfriends of the hockey guys as being "anglerfish" that just leech onto them. She also is 'different" in the way that she does things like recite the scientific names for things and recite the periodic table to help her sleep.

One thing I didn't like, though I do like how she's a strong woman lead who deeply cares for others, though I do understand why, is her on-and-off behavior towards the love interest, Jamie. She sees Jamie as a liar, which is kind of true, but he does it to protect people, and she switches between being head-over-heels for him and being angry at him.

They all claimed to be for equal rights, pro-LGBT, and leftist, but they also bullied disabled people, "didn't care" about politics or people's lives in wars. They also called people "too woke", said "woke people piss me off", and they hang around homophobic people and don't care about violence against queer people. One only likes men but says she's bi.

Not that it matters, mostly, but I do want to get the words right. So we are reading a book on someone who is mixed Native American Ojibwe and white.

Some people in my class, let’s say, are Indian (from India) and white. We agreed that would be mixed, but for example, someone who is English and Swedish would not be because they are just white.

Would they not be mixed race, mixed ethnicity, or be neither?

When researching a variety of Norwegian spoken by some people in the Midwest known as "norst" or American Norwegian, someone commented that it was like the Quebecois of Norwegian.

My native language is English and I am American though, so I guess my own dialect of English would be the Quebecois of my language, or Canadian English too.

For example, I know that in the Midwest, where I live, there is a dialect called "American Norwegian". However, my family didn't grow up speaking Norwegian or that dialect of it, so when I do learn Norwegian, I'll be learning the European version. I grew up with some European Norwegian and a bit of Icelandic & Old Norse.

Sorry for the dumb question. If you don't embrace any other cultures or languages except your own country, then just say country.

I will never be a "Norwegian Norwegian" as I wasn't born or raised in Norway. I'm American, so my neighbors would be Canada and Mexico.

However, my cultural neighbors would be Sweden, Finland, and Russia I guess. I'm not a true Norwegian, for the record, but we embrace our heritage a lot and have been raised around videos of the language since I was little but didn't actually remember anything so I'm learning more.

Why i'm supposed to care less about iranian children being killed in war? Is it because their government is evil? Isn't our government bad too?

I guess some of the equivalents for reddit would be r/popheadscirclejerk, r/rupaulsdragrace, and r/queensofleague (to a lesser extent, the subreddits for a lot of female pop stars fall under this umbrella as well).

Here are some spaces that, while I do think are valuable in their own right, are not necessarily what I'm talking about:

1. General LGBT spaces. These are important for like news and subculture and common experiences; I'm just looking for something a bit more niche (though I do want to be in both).

2. Masculine queer men's spaces. These correspond to subreddits like r/gaybros, r/askgaybros, etc. I never personally vibed with them, though I understand their necessity for queer men who find themselves on the more masculine end of the gender spectrum.

Also, if this is the incorrect place to post this, please let me know where I can instead. Thanks!

This feels wrong posting this here, but I could not find a sub to do this in, so feel free to point me in the right direction.

My dad is an Old Spice Guy, I am an Old Spice Guy, but I am done with P&G and what I think is poisonous and wasteful products.

I am looking for recommendations for organic safe healthy body washes, lotions for dry dark skin and deodorants. I've not had to look for anything other brands for over 25 years, so this feels overwhelming. I just tried Native, and that won't work, so, please, any directions to point me to?

Thanks.

I was curious what to call the sub communities on Lemmy because I would assume they are not called subreddits. Are they called sublemmies or lemmlits? Thanks for the help!

What are your opinions on homeschooling?

My opinion: Both have pros and cons.

I have heard that homeschooled kids are often better academically and more intelligent compared to average students. But they have bad social skills and have a lot of anxiety.

In normal school, you might have better social skills for sure. And you might grow up good if you don't get influenced by the rotten people at school and if you don't get into drugs or stuff due to peer pressure. But that's IF YOU DON'T GET INTO THESE. If you get into these, good luck getting outta these. And there's the concern of getting bullied too......

So I personally think homeschooling might be a better choice.
