• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a "tax write off"?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is the example that OP referred to in their question

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  if I did, I would have to be obliged and follow their cultures

  This doesn’t seem true to be. There is no culture police who will come and enforce the way you live your life to follow the norms of your ethnic label(s).

  I don’t have a culture

  This is impossible. Everyone has a culture. You may not follow all the cultural norms or traditions of where you are from, but it is guaranteed that who you are was impacted by the culture you were raised in. There is no such thing as neutral, otherwise you are saying your personal culture would fit in everywhere in the world (Mexico, USA, Italy, Russia, Japan, Philippines, etc).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you think the term Latino means, and why don’t you want to identify as one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI Central America is also in North America

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything a chiropractor can do that will actually help, a PT can do better. They’ll also teach you what exercises to do to prevent needing to see them again.

  A chiropractor will just tell you to come to them more often, and take more of your money over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ok. English is my first language and I don’t understand what OP means by “camera shoe.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to talk in an American accent but how can I transition into it slowly for people who know me without them noticing a sudden change?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminded me of my first year at uni when a guy decided to speak in a fake British accent, I guess to sound cooler. Unfortunately for him, we could all tell it was fake and that made him decidedly uncool (and the butt of a lot of jokes). I think he gave it up after a couple of weeks.

  The fact is, the coolest thing you can do is be confident in yourself (including how you sound when speaking naturally).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you knew that? [This is on Next Level]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s illegal pretty much anywhere west of the Mississippi River if I recall correctly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overfeeding cats will mess with their guts and poop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is heavily dependent on the individual. My first dog we had growing up, we just had to keep her bowl full and she ate when she was hungry. After she died and we got our next dog, we started out doing the same thing, and he ballooned up into a total fatty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did Lemmy change from post/comment score to count?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been here since June, and it’s never had karma score calculated for the profile. My understanding was that they didn’t want to promote karma farming like is done on Reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 Celtic Hillforts and Oppida from the Iron Age⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I visited Dún Aonghasa, a hillfort in Ireland build high on a cliff above the ocean, a few years ago. It was absolutely formidable. I can’t imagine how impressive it would have been back in the time it was in use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kitchen completed.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks beautiful! Great work.

  I have to admit I misread the title and thought it said “Kitten completed.” I’m a little disappointed by the lack of kittens in your kitchen now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another lost TV show question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The librarians?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any prince movies for kids?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the ones that come instantly to mind would be The Emperor’s New Groove and Aladdin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I practice being more emotionally available as a man?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In addition to this, understanding the emotions you are experiencing and being able to put a name to them will help. A lot of cultural expectations pressure men to only feel anger/happiness, but there is so much more nuance. Being able to recognize that and, eventually, communicate it will be massive to this undertaking.

  I’d recommend using something like an emotion wheel to define how you are feeling at any given moment in time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does a food being like 'high in B6 vitamins' or whatever actually mean anything or make anyone feel tangibly different?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Blood test to check for nutritional deficiencies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does a food being like 'high in B6 vitamins' or whatever actually mean anything or make anyone feel tangibly different?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if you are low on B6 you will definitely notice it. If your levels of B6 are fine, then you probably won’t notice a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I got into doing yoga. I did it daily for about 9 months straight in 2020, and have never felt better. I go through phases now where I can keep it up, but I can also go a while without doing it. I wish I could get back into doing it daily because I feel so much better with the consistency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beethoven's 2nd warned us about Danny Masterson more than 20 years ago⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This just in…Taika Waititi is literally Hitler, Sean Bean is dead, and RDJ is a real live superhero!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm trying to find a story about a dog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure this is the story you’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is America Really That Bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are state CONSTITUTIONS that protect this right, so no it’s not true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is America Really That Bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  See, this just isn’t true. There are a number of states that have the right to abortion enshrined in their constitution. Others are voting to have it added to their constitutions. Just because it was removed nationally, doesn’t mean everyone lost that right.

  Granted, it is absolutely a tragedy what is going on in the more backwards states. But things like this make it sound worse than the situation is nationwide. This is the issue the OP has. If you only see the negatives that are reported in the news, it sounds like the US is an absolute hellhole, which is not most people’s lived experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What is your go-to movie that you will never turn down?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched this so often as a kid, I could quote the entire thing verbatim from start to finish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Did ‘Barbie’ Bomb in South Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume it’s a Barbenheimer reference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you get your job? Any advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard good things about the advice given in the Ask a Manager blog.

  Maybe it’s worth looking into to see if your cover letter/resume/interview skills are up to snuff, depending on where you seem to stall out in the process.
