"A yeti in a snow storm fighting Tilda Swinton"?

Generally everyone has these issues, but with ADHD it's more advanced to a life altering degree. If everyone had it, everyone would need meds to keep jobs and not be depressed etc. ADHD also usually causes issues with dopamine generation, so getting tasks done aren't fulfilling, hurting our willpower to get anymore done. There's much more, but it's kind of a lighter version of people who assume depressed people just need to go outside and do different things etc. Sure, non depressed people get sad or feel down, but they can usually do something about it or get over it much faster. So if you see stuff like this and you know for sure you don't have ADHD, you're probably underestimating the scale.

Two is one, one is none.

Not everyone knows what these instances mean, and you're federated. In fact, this message is the first time I knew what it meant. I also don't necessarily look at instances before commenting.

Edit, also ty for explaining, the rest, although unintentional I'm sure, felt condescending for us not knowing what every single abbreviated instance we interact with means.

Wait, there are people upset they didn't go to terrorists? Well, of course there are, but I was shocked a CNN article even used settler, for the points you made. It specifically invokes taking from the people there to benefit themselves, which I didn't expect CNN of all places to do.

It's missing some of the argument. Part of the idea is pre writing humans passing down successful pregnancy and reproductive information. Women obviously died from childbirth back then as they do now. One theory is that these women were trying to pass down some information of perhaps considered successful childbirth.

There have been times in relatively recent history where incorrect information about pregnancy was being passed down, plus a larger woman would be getting more nutrients in that time than malnourished women. An easy conclusion to make may uave just been to eat alot and be larger.

I don't disagree with your points about words, especially in one on one conversations, or rather small groups. In stuff like organized events, protests at places like women's clinics etc, it gets a bit murky. Because the offense there isn't just words, they are concerted efforts to intimidate people. Anti abortion activists will shout, heckle, and condemn women going into such clinics, even if they're not there for abortion (most of these places, including Planned Parenthood, often a target) also provide just general health for women. Contraceptives, pregnancy testing and planning, STD education, treatment, testing, mental health concerns, wellness and preventative care.

By hindering access and intimidating people away, they are causing more harm than simply words, and so I think it's right for people to counter protest. Not to punch them first or anything, but to show up in contrast of the bigots and in support of those who need the help. Not necessarily self defense, but still correct imo.

Finally, relying of law of the land is an easy barometer to use, but it only works if those laws are actually fair. In apartheid states like South Africa used to be, or the USA used to be, would you agree with the laws of self defense there? Where for instant someone of my skin color could never defend myself against a slave owner?

Many of the people you may be arguing with may not agree that the law adequately protects them. Some I may agree with, and some I may think is crazy. Many situations are nuanced and can't be defined sown to a slogan or term. Lots of people who say "punch a nazi" don't mean going down th> e street, finding and assaulting a nazi for no reason. They mostly mean be prepared to fight back, and don't fall victim to the paradox of tolerance.

Yes, but that gets into an agreement of terms. Define self-defense. Both of you may have different opinions on what that is, and what you call violence another may consider legitimate self defense.

To give an example, one of Alex Jones rhetorical tricks is to say they only need to be defensive, not attacking first. Then a min or two later he'll say the dems are already attacking you and your children, and that you're already in a war.

He doesn't want to use the words directly to incide violence because he could be criminally charged, but he still wants to incite it. He's also told people who asked him when it time to get the guns that God will tell them. He's also stated he considers the voice in his head messages from God.

That's someone using it disingenuously of course, but for some people just preventing or pushing back on clear intentions and threats is enough. The crowds at say Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" and attended by people recorded in private screaming

“Little fucking kikes. They get ruled by people like me. Little fucking octaroons. My ancestors fucking enslaved those little pieces of fucking shit.”

Later, he continued, “Those pieces of shit get ruled by people like me. They look up and see a face like mine looking down at them.”

To many, this shows clear intent and will to kill and enslave people like me, so how far do I have to let them get on with their plans before I can defend myself?

Texting has usually been associated with sending a text message to a specific target, or specific targets in a group text, but not a room, forum, or public space. So yes, dms and texting are virtually identical. Posting on lemmy, reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc would not be, unless you again specifically selected individuals to send a direct messgae.

Big "I keep meeting assholes" energy.

He said, still not being nice. Nah man, I think it's you.

Oh, I know that. I don't have any real complaint about the movement, was more mocking people like Alex Jones getting bent out of shape over ir. However, it's so suggested as protein replacement in futurology, and for a greener future. I'm all for that (and despite not being vegan, I support veggie protein/synthetic meat options too) but I'm just worried about diminished options for myself. I wouldn't put my wants over others needs though, so if it comes down to it having a smaller dietary choices is what I'll have to do, and I've done it before (eggs were a favorite of mine but I developed an allergy to them about a year or two ago.)
