This is why I love Lemmy. Linguistics from a cat post!

I agree with your support of a free Palestine, but being willfully dense and single issue is reductionist and doesn’t help your argument. Compassion for all oppressed people is key. We are all a part of this. We all deserve to see these wrongs righted.

Lol lots of faces being eaten by leopards. Even other leopards’ faces. They don’t discriminate. It’s like any fascist state. A bunch of feral rats cannibalizing each other.

Especially, so. They’re already turning on each other.

Cambodia. Genuinely the nicest, and most helpful, people I have ever encountered all throughout the country. I was told about their general friendliness before, but was blown away by actually seeing it firsthand.

Absolutely true. I wasn’t even thinking about voting systems with my comments but definitely a significant barrier.
- Comment on Tech giants must protect reporter-source privacy in leak cases. 4 months ago:
That’s why I’m saying we’re way too far gone for that lol I agree. It’s predicated on the democratic system working and that’s been broken for a while.

Yeah… we’ve been well past the point of constitutional crises that never get addressed or even an eye batted toward them for decades lol.
Press freedom has been fucked for so long.
One of the few things I agree with Thomas Jefferson concerning the actual functioning of the US government is that the Constitution should be revisited and updated more often. It would definitely encourage greater awareness of the document and keep many from both (1) having it used as a dogmatic/pseudoreligious excuse to fit into whatever narrative the oligarchs hope to push and (2) failing to enshrine fundamental liberties in a national codex.
As it is, we’re way too far gone for that shit and I think a complete restructuring is in order, which I don’t think will happen in our current union. Gonna take some major change and pain to get there.

How do you play 3 player campaign on one PC? Doesn’t the MCC prevent that? Or did they patch it out?
- Comment on Are mood problems a “turn off” for people even when they’re hard to manage? 5 months ago:
For the most part, yes. Definitely depends on the person, but this can be a very challenging social dynamic. It sounds pretty chaotic and I am not sure how many people would be able to deal with that day by day.
To your last point, emotional communication is always tough and it’s really hard to piece things together to get your thoughts across when tensions are high. I think that coming from a mindset of refining and explaining, to yourself first and then to others, why you feel a certain way or did a certain action could be a good start.
Additionally, a lot of people do not respond well to “tough love”. I would argue that for the majority of scenarios, it’s one of the least successful ways to go about showing support and care for someone else. Setting clear and respectful boundaries is one thing, but providing only conditional support is a great way to tank a relationship and have someone distrust you. I think it’s also helpful to unpack why you feel you need to act that way with people you care about. For me, that took a lot of work (still does) and goes back to my relationship with my dad (which has its positives and negatives, a lot of which we’ve worked through over the years).
One of the most important ideas I’ve come across with communication is that you should ask yourself if your actions are helping you meet your goals in the conversation. If you really want to build a strong trusting relationship with someone, that’s going to look wildly different to the actions you would take if you really want to distance yourself from someone. And if you mess up with how you presented yourself or how you meant to come across, address it as soon as you possibly can. Clear communication is key and being clear with yourself and your goals/wants/needs/preferences is the start of that.
Hope that helps lol good luck out there. There’s a lot of happiness to bring to the world if you work toward it.
