I miss forums so much. A federated backend for forums would be nice. I’m so tired of having these giant communities of angry strangers if I want to talk about anything

Right? Communists: foil trafficking ring. This joker: blames them for trafficking.
Tbf, I work closely with this population and would prefer the money be funneled into public housing that doesn’t evict people for using, and things like that, rather than just handed to people who have no framework to use it and possibly unstable executive function. For one thing, the resources tend to go much further. For another, many of my patients are put in danger by sudden cash windfalls.
However I’d still prefer them to get a wad of cash to the current solution, which is “kick them out of anywhere you find them and hope they eventually just vanish”
I mean, it’s only a difficult problem if you consider helping ninety people improve their lives at the cost of spending taxpayer money to support ten people’s bad habits to be difficult. The real issue here is the number of people (conservative and liberal “centrist” alike) who consider it more important to uphold their personal view of morality than it is to help our fellow humans.
Give them money? But some of them might do the bad thing, so obviously no.
The far right is seriously outnumbered. Encouraging people to apathy helps them, because most people who get involved are their enemies.
Agreed on the sleeping better. There are things it had that Lemmy doesn’t but honestly I never want this site to catch all the way up. Reddit had become bad for me.
Gout never went away.
Well, that’s their point. With a smaller population we want a smaller canvas.
Oh we totally agree, I was just agreeing with you in a slightly tongue in cheek manner.
There are some seeds there. Llms show that automation will eventually destroy all jobs, and at any time even things we think are unassailable for decades could suddenly find themselves at risk.
That plants a lot of seeds. Just not the ones the average longtermist wants planted.
A pill that treats solid tumours would be an enormous boon to humanity. You’re letting really tired cynicism get in the way of basic logic. This argument would mean that insulin wasn’t a breakthrough, because it didn’t cure diabetes.
For profit pharmaceuticals is indeed a huge issue, but it’s one that is entirely separate from whether or not a given medical treatment is good or not.
Jeez you seem like you have some personal vendetta against this lab
Listen that bear was no angel
All I’ve got to offer are unionisation pamphlets and a brick.
I’m sure there will be accountability aaaaaaaaany minute now. For any of the people that got us here. Aaaany minute. Yep.
I think specifically the concept of transgender is fairly modern, and probably shouldn’t be applied to someone from such a different culture. It’s definitely possible they would have been the equivalent to what we call trans, and that’d be cool AF, but there’s no way to differentiate whether or not this was a genetically female person who identified with a different gender role, or if it’s evidence that being a warrior was an acceptable role for anyone regardless of gender.
Either way it’s awesome.
Won’t someone please think of the children?!
True, but not new. It’s been this since before “fight terror” in fact.
Nah, I’m talking about everything. Tons of people still ride bikes for transport and don’t identify as cyclists, or don’t really care whether their phone is an android or iPhone. A large majority of people don’t identify with little details of their lives like that, but when you go online into a specific topic there’s a much higher chance of running into people who feel really strongly about it, because they’re drawn to the topic and are participating in a subset of people who already tend to be really passionate about nerdy shit.
“yeah we always thought this could happen,” the family said in a statement. “We’re very negligent, to the point of abuse.”
Idk what people are expecting to see.
