That one is pretty useless if you have an hourly job. Oh, I'll just leave the store whenever I want and won't get fired, hmm? And the infuriating thing will still be there when I get back.

You just reminded me that I knew a boomer who would constantly say how important it was to be in touch with your feelings. He was really proud of himself for painting his bedroom pink (for his wife, I guess, who didn't actually care what color it was). Dude was still abusive AF. It was very confusing.
Slightly unrelated, but last time I vomited during a flight they refused to take the bag and throw it away. I had to sit there for 6 hours, holding an uncloseable plastic bag full of my own vomit. Next to other passengers. Like, I get that it's technically some kind of hazard waste that flight attendants shouldn't have to handle, but the alternative is me potentially accidentally spilling it on or near other passengers. I had to carry it off the plane with me like it was my carry-on. It was absolutely ridiculous.
What is up with the large number of people here suddenly refusing to read... barely more than a paragraph? Like, this is a text-based site. If you don't want to read, why the hell are you on Lemmy?
If this is real, please get help before you hurt someone. This is not normal behavior. Your perceptions are not matching up with reality, and it sounds like you have a hard time controlling yourself in these situations.
What gets me is the people so concerned about vaccines seem to completely ignore PFAS, pesticides, and the spoonfuls of microplastic we're finding in people's brains, cells, everywhere. Like, sure, something could be causing more autism, but why single out vaccines when there are so many other things it could be?
There's really no way we could invade half of those places and still fight the unrest that will be happening inside the US. I bet you'd find plenty of Americans willing to defect and fight for Canada.
What even is this "news source"? It's just a couple of quotes with no context, and the other posts they list sound like absolute conspiracies.
Yeah I feel like volunteering and community action is a few steps down the line. As for how to find people who can hear you out - they do exist. To be honest I answered a local reddit post looking for friends. I think her post mentioned she was struggling with mental health issues. It's important to be open about that from the start. Maybe I got lucky, but we turned out to have so much in common. We started taking long walks once a week. Not too much of a commitment, but I had something to look forward to every week. And yeah, there was some trauma dumping from both of us at times. It's far less embarrassing when there's a back and forth, and we found we could relate to a lot of each other's experiences.
It may seem counterintuitive that you need to find someone who is also struggling. It's much easier for us to have compassion for someone else, even if our situations are the same. But eventually you'll realize that if your depressed friend deserves your compassion then so do you.
And so what if you have to try this a few times to find the right person or it doesn't pan out? At least you tried something and got some fresh air.
It's not that uncommon for smaller or private planes to crash, I think partially due to private pilots not having as much training and experience as commercial pilots, and the fact that smaller planes probably aren't as stable in turbulent weather. Pretty sure the one in Alaska had more to do with the weather than traffic controllers. We tend to only hear about the small crashes when they have famous people on board.
Hmm, I'm not sure paper towels are compostable where I am. I've been trying to use as little as possible because I was told the volume of them builds up in the landfills. Is it really that wasteful to wash a plate?
Pay attention to the weather-based range variation. Some EVs only get about half of their listed range in cold winter temps.
