Paying money doesn't mean you get to harass other students who also paid money... Maybe that's your first lesson.

It can be a meme and also be based in reality.

Downdetector isn't a good source, which is the origin of the Dallas claims of outage, but Grindr itself is.

This is an old article referring to Paxton winning the gop primary. Vote in the actual election on November 3rd.

Nothing more cringey than obsessing over brain chemicals when you preach anti-scientific bullshit on the regular. The title of the article is also pretty dogshit, but probably speaks to a different person being in charge of the title than the body. He hasn't backed down at all from the sentiment of his statements, which is that human gender terms don't define an almighty god. Not that hard to understand if you're not seething behind your micropenis syndrome worried that people getting gender affirming care are gonna be bigger than you too.

I agree completely on this for anxiety. It's helpful to keep this and similar perspectives: It's not that I'm bad for not explaining it properly in the way that a hostile employer is satisfied with, instead it's a hostile employer that views anxiety as a benefit to their power over you and is refusing to level with you or admit they could also be wrong. The lack of recourse or proof* is not you failing to earn it, it's their failure to afford you what is common decency. You didn't make a mistake, you weren't nefarious, so if they won't see that then it's entirely a them issue.

Perspective is extremely important with mental traps.

Edit: typo

I've found that "sticking up for myself" is a less motivating reasoning than, "Stick it to the assholes that probably do this shit to others too." I can be passionate about helping victims very easily and help myself at the same time. The anxiety is predominantly caused by feeling wronged and like you're not worth the solution. It's extremely similar to depression, just with less perceived control. Similarly your self esteem is lowered and it can feed into the circle and spiral downward. If you position the actions against it as someone else's benefit then there is no self esteem required and the circle is broken... at least for me, someone with chronic depression and anxiety later in life.

Ask them how they got it wrong. Request a policy change that would address it. If it's public, foia their process on your ticket and resolution.

To be clear, I don't mean be a Karen, but more just to insist that it's a problem worth solving and that the solution should be making it impossible in the future, as broadly as possible.

As an example my car came back from an alignment/inspection and they only finger tightened all 20 lugnuts when they returned it. I called and refused to identify the employee or car, but requested a policy change to make that absolutely impossible to happen again. The manager was distraught and very serious, so I didn't want to ruin someone's life on something they could definitely learn to do better on. At the same time, someone else's life could be ruined. For my own solution I'd just check it before driving every time work is done in the future but that doesn't really help anyone else.

Lots of them are predators themselves. It's just harder to tell with them than most doth protest too muchers because the population hates them so much that visceral anger towards pedophiles is the norm. Some are victims as well, not that that means they can't be a perpetrator too.

Simultaneously wanting to drive victims through the mud or lower age of consent laws is a great indicator which side they fall under. Needless to say pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is.

This is the nature of a defederated website. There are multiple hosts who all act independently, but have decided to source from each other. Upvotes come in from instances you aren't on who refuse deletions or process them on a delay.

This means that Lemmy is very difficult to pull information back from, if it's even possible at all. There are no doubt instances that are almost solely functioning as archives as well that may not even make themselves known except through requests to maybe only one ither instance. It's great for anticensorship, but not great if you say something goofy you didn't mean and are now getting downvotes from the instances that don't believe in edits or whatever it may be.

Deletions not be honored is also pretty common generally, because there are accounts who create posts and then delete their accounts. On reddit it's throwaway accounts, but on lemmy.world at least it destroys the posts permanently and then all of the engagement is locked under the nonexistent post which will be purged.

I think the best balance is instances allow deletions by admins/mods/the user, but do not allow deletions for account purging by the user. I don't know how many flags there are in the data transmissions between instances to know the origin of the action or what button the user clicked.

They are the best chance insofar as we can change the party. FDR enacted many of his policies because the alternative was a mass uprising leading to murder of the owner class/scabs and the visuals of the societal abandonment of our elderly was dumping gasoline on the fire.

It's not refusing to grasp anything to talk about how our options are falling to hell or floating for a while. You're preaching to the choir about how to change it and if you haven't noticed: That is what's happening. We are entitled to bitch in the meantime, especially about areas where corporate and consultant interests superseded people's own best interests due to record levels of spending and nonstop concern trolling (eg: Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Oliver Larkin, Charles Booker, etc). We also don't need permission from anyone to do so, thanks for your concern.

They're pretty clean so long as it's indoors and ideally not in a bathroom. There's a massive difference of a new paper towel and a reused towel. I wear contacts and it doesn't take much to notice residue on my hands/eyelid area.

I agree, but also don't think we should be so devoted as to defend them for being the only ones who can help us and having them watch and do nothing. They're more concerned with the people running on doing more. Is that an Ally or just the weaker of two enemies?
