Totally agree with this

There also weren’t people broadcasting mass shootings live on Facebook and inspiring copycat shootings, or being indoctrinated into incel culture alone in their bedrooms. There are legitimate pros and legitimate cons to 24/7 connection, this isn’t just some “boomer yells at the sky” thing

Don’t forget no cell phones. It’s hard to overstate the (I believe negative) impact constant connection and notification has had on every aspect of our lives

Is it patriotic to support the military again? You have an incoming president who has never missed an opportunity to denigrate people in the military

Turns out dogs are perfectly fine eating milk chocolate. I know this because I had a dog who jumped up on a table and ate an entire package of Hershey’s kisses once. We thought she was a goner, but poison control said she’d be fine and she was. High quality dark chocolate is what poisons dogs

To this point, not being direct and being overly concerned with what other people think could even be directly driving OP’s issue

- Comment on Just put a spray tan over it 1 month ago:
The ability and willingness to laugh at yourself is evidence of self-awareness and intelligence.
Completely missing the point, and thinking someone laughing at themselves is instead “complaining” or “whining,” is evidence of a lack of self-awareness and intelligence.

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Second time I got to post this today, unfortunately because it’s almost ceased being satire.

I wonder what percent of that 53% know anything at all about his actual plans lmao
This statistic is meaningless. Let’s see how public opinion stands after the awful people he’s surrounded himself with start doing things.
Another reminder that Lemmy is an echo chamber

- Comment on Foxtail fern 2 months ago:
It doesn’t like the cold at all, you can keep outside as long as it’s not going below 50. Asparagus ferns however are similar and could go in the ground and overwinter in DFW
- Comment on Foxtail fern 2 months ago:
That guy wants way more sun than it’s probably getting inside. I wonder if it’s doing better because the sun angle is more severe as we approach the winter solstice, meaning you get more sun in through your window

I have a battery powered mower and utility has done a pretty good job of incorporating renewables into their mix
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 months ago:
I don’t view this as a “pick up the leaves or not” false choice. I leave the leaves in some areas and mow over/pick them up in others. They’re literally free mulch and compost
- Comment on Frog's Gift 2 months ago:
It’s an even more fundamental conservative tactic. What they do is find a single example of something they think they can easily deride and hold it up as representative of that entire thing. Think welfare, immigration, criminal justice, reproductive rights, gender identity, and much more. Right wing media is full of single cases they beat into their viewerships’ minds while ignoring all other cases
- Comment on Teenager in critical condition with Canada’s first human case of bird flu 2 months ago:
H5N1 vaccines already exist, no one gets them because the risk of contracting it is so low. There are even existing stockpiles in the US and EU for rapid deployment.
In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Audenz, an adjuvanted influenza A (H5N1) monovalent vaccine.[2][6] Audenz is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by the influenza A virus H5N1 subtype contained in the vaccine. Audenz is approved for use in persons six months of age and older at increased risk of exposure to the influenza A virus H5N1 subtype contained in the vaccine.[2]
Some older, egg-based H5N1 vaccines for humans that have been licensed are:
Sanofi Pasteur’s vaccine approved by the United States in April 2007,[7][8] GlaxoSmithKline’s vaccine Prepandrix approved by the European Union in May 2008, with reactive AS03 (containing squalene) adjuvant,[9] and CSL Limited’s vaccine Panvax approved by Australia in June 2008.
Other licensed H5N1 vaccines include:
Adjupanrix, approved for medical use in the European Union in October 2009.[10] Adjupanrix contains the flu strain A/VietNam/1194/2004 NIBRG 14 (H5N1).[10] Foclivia, approved for medical use in the European Union in October 2009.[11] Foclivia contains the flu strain A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1).[11] Aflunov, approved for medical use in the European Union in November 2010.[12] Aflunov contains the flu strain A/turkey/Turkey/1/2005 (H5N1)-like strain (NIBRG-23) (clade 2.2.1).[12] Pumarix, approved for medical use in the European Union in March 2011.[13]
In November 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an experimental H5N1 bird flu vaccine to be held in stockpiles.[14][15] In a clinical trial including 3,400 adults, 91% of people age 18-64 and 74% of people age 65 or older formed an immune response sufficient to provide protection. Reported adverse effects were generally mild, with pain at the injection site being the most common adverse effect.[16]
In June 2024, the European Commission signed a four-year contract with CSL Seqirus to secure 665,000 pre-pandemic vaccines with a provision for a further 40 million doses of avian flu vaccines for 15 member states.[17]
- Comment on Netanyahu fires Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, after months of clashes over war and politics 2 months ago:
Gallant responded to the decision shortly after it was made public, posting on X that the “security of Israel has been and will always be my lifelong mission.” In a televised statement, he said his dismissal was the result of a dispute over three things: the issue of ultra-Orthodox military services, the abandonment of hostages in Gaza, and the need for an official inquiry into Hamas’ October 7 attack.
War is something Netanyahu’s only using to distract from his unpopularity

- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 2 months ago:
I’d be interested to culture petri dishes off my hand after I use a new paper towel to turn off the faucet vs grabbing the wet handle with my entire hand and shutting it off and then drying off my hand…
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 2 months ago:
Paper towels folded over on themselves absolutely create a barrier between my hand and the door handle. I’m not talking about flushable paper or toilet seat covers
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 2 months ago:
I wash my hands before I piss because my dick is the cleanest surface in that bathroom. Touch nothing afterward without a paper towel barrier
