AOC and Bernie are the gold standards. Be great if the bootlickers became un-nominatable and unelectable

The ADL is fully composed of Semitic bias so they’re not exactly more desirable as a mouthpiece

I never go further than just talk haha

Ick what a weirdo. Good call, should have believed their username when I read it

TV show and family set in the Great Depression haha. The Walmart Waltons suck! Olivia Walton (the matriarch) is the mom I always wished I had

The Waltons (tv show family set in the Great Depression) always struck me as one of the strongest illustrations of a genuinely strong and truly nourishing family system.

They truly love each other unselfishly and everyone’s feelings and dignity actually matter to the rest of the group at the end of the day. They all learn from each other, recognize when they’ve acted poorly (the grandparents, parents, and children alike) and do their best to figure out where they can contribute knowing they will be supported and upheld in turn

How do you define the “human experience”?

Good, dumbest thing ever. U poor, I’ll give you something to be poorer about

How would they describe something purple natively if they stumbled upon something we would describe as purple or violet in language and conceptually? Would it be lumped in with blue or is there a way they could discriminate it linguistically in a non-novel way?

Thanks!

Security thru ubiquity :) I like it

I almost always agree with the positions helf by Quebec and whose influence they defend at the political level

Quebec often has to be the one to say the things that nobody else can get away with politically but that is a necessary hard truth like forceful seperation of church and state and being choosier about how much immigration they calculate they are able to meaningfully support and integrate.

Not that they are perfect or not spoiled due to their realpolitik unique status in Canada but there’s benefits to having an influential distinct society within that can operate more sensibly in the face of some untenable and less defensible trends that are otherwise seemingly impossible to countenance

Thanks for clarifying, probably best to double check as a practice. Misinfo abounds fr. Might be nice to edit parenr comment or at least ~ ~ cross it out to update

This is why I love Lemmy <3

Can you provide a source for that? As far as I’m aware its a movement protesting Trump and Musk’s purported election fraud and fascistic policies. Like almosy basically the opposite of what you’re throwing out there

The only actual advice I can think of that relates is refusing to be involved with people who make you unhappy (which I realize so much of requires choice and resources to island yourself off in this way).

Its still something to keep in mind, if you can insulate yourself from people you’ve noticr make you unhappy and overstimulated, that is a very different state of being even saying nothing about whatever “happiness” is. I think you can still like or love someone who you also cannot emotionally and ohysically tolerate being around, but sooner or later you have to listen to what your being tries to tell you or somatically express

If I had to choose between happiness or freedom from pain, I would choose the latter every time. Happiness can be stumbled upon or negotiated or gradually arriver at, pain needs to be alleviated or it cancels out everything else

Don’t engage with people like that. This is one area you must be selfish and refuse to deal with others who bring you down, regardless of their reason. You can’t burn yourself up to keep others warm and expect to thrive and feel decently.

Just let them know you cant talk to people who make you feel like crap and unpredictably and block them so they can’t impose further. Try not to worry about why or empathizing because you need to focus on keeping your ship afloat and house in order and do that requires you to respect yourself by not harming yourself and exposing yourself to toxic others. Thats a good way to become distrustful and self-sabatoging if you allow people like that into your sanctum of influence. Your life and network are a temple, don’t let vandals and thieves and vampires in. Keep your enemies/toxicity far away, try to learn from them at a distance in an objective way but do not rely on them to necessarily improve or feel better.

I’ve made a practice of this for myself (doesnt matter if its family or friends or otherwise) and I’ve definitely been on the receiving end and today I understand why and everyone is honestly better off for it. Your time is not charity and you are not a punching bag, try to act thusly

Its mortgage #1

I mean real prices that are up to date, just not actually trading with real money. Like maybe gives you a set amount of fake money to buy something to start with and you go from there
