Not trying to antagonize, I just thought these graphs were relevant.

It should be noted that much of the “rest of the world’s” emissions serve imperial powers and that is not reflected in these graphs. This makes it difficult to determine who is entirely responsible for what but the graphs are still useful

History is going to crucify him (and Americans)

We’ve had it coming for a long time lmao

What a cutie :D

Yeah I could tell, it is still 80-90 degrees where I live :/

Its usually 50-60 by now

To be fair, one joint and I will eat 8 of these

I think this is more of a western societal problem than a lemmy problem. Honestly if anything I have seen much less of this on lemmy as compared to similar internet spaces. I’d say its a big problem in that it is reflective of common thought in the west and the common thought of the west is problematic. As for what we can do about it… I suppose we do what we have always done. Vocal opposition might get you some downvotes but who tf cares.

Definitely not me irl. I would never do this, in fact the idea of it repulses me greatly.

Obviously

Not me irl

Im under multiple influences at the moment but jesus christ I need you older folks to understand that I already know I will watch my friends starve

I would melt

I am drag, just a very, very disillusioned one. I’m sorry to dissapoint you but I can’t compromise on this one.

Sorry but the democrats won’t save us. I’m not gonna support the people who I am currently watching commit genocide as if they won’t do the same to me as soon as it benefits them.

If hearing about your countries support for genocide and your complicity in it makes you want to stop listening, you should think harder about your actions.

(Assuming you are from the west)

Holy shit I forgot about netscape

Can’t fault you for consistency. Whether or not the soft or social sciences actually are “science” has been a conversation for a long ass time so I won’t argue lol.

I will say though, that Marxism is the closest I have seen to a proper scientific theory of political economy and I study a natural science (physics) so I think that counts for something.

Can you not study economics and politics scientifically?

Holy shit I knew I recognized that username, you made the burgerking pornhub peanuts post a few weeks ago 😭. I want you to know that post made my day.

Also idk if you were serious but no its a frame from The Emperor’s New Groove. A disney fantasy/comedy movie from 2000 based in the Incan empire of modern day Peru about an emperor who gets turned into a llama in a failed assassination attempt.

I used to find music unenjoyable as well and still occasionally go through multi-month long phases where I just don’t listen to music. Couldn’t tell you why though 🤷

Alright I called him and the conversation wasn’t as fruitful as I hoped but he does have some advice. I will start with the dissapointing news first.

He said the main way he has dealt with it is getting used to it. He used to regularly stress about how the constant minor dissasociation and occasional severe dissasociative episodes were probably going to be something he dealt with for the rest of his life and whether he is correct about that or not it led him down some negative thought spirals that made is dissasociation issue worse with time. Over the past few years he has come to accept this as out of his control and tries not to worry about it to much. He focuses on managing symptoms as they arrive and chooses not to stress about what may or may not be. Unfortunately this isn’t possible for everyone and I think he has only managed it through significant distraction.

So, for the advice I’m just gonna use a bullet point list of things he said that helped as well as some things I remember helping me as I talked to him about it.

• listening to music
• having a long term goal that you genuinely want to work towards, not just something you think you need to do. (For him its a power lifting wr, going to the gym helps him a lot)
• going for a walk with or without something to listen to depending on how you feel
• going outside and just touching grass for a bit, I mean this literally. Personally I got outside to watch and listen to the birds, I find that the natural world grounds me to reality.
• calling someone you are close with and talking to them about how you’re feeling if it is particularly bad
• He also texted me this “Focusing on all the different noises I can hear, and the tingling in my hands and feet helps me a lot sometimes. When I was home in [redacted] I would go lay out on the grass and focus on the feeling of the wind or sun.”

I think some of those were repetitive but I hope it helps somewhat.

This woman awakened something in my as a kid, still not sure what it is about her that I like so much. I think her relationship with her husband was loving in such a casual and teasing way. Incredibly wholesome and cozy. I think her willingness to subvert authority and how much she clearly enjoy doing so appealed to me as well. She’s also very pretty so I am sure that played a part lol.

I blame her and katara for my taste in women.
