People should probably look the guy up before jumping in to defend him 😅 I just looked through some of his stuff and uhh…

Dude seems like a piece of shit 😅

This could be interpreted charitably, but given the previous one I’m not especially inclined to do so

:(

THE PERFECT COVER

Brb gotta go get diagnosed with sleep apnea

To add to people’s answer of it not having much care- cleaning is generally good for care/longevity as grit and dirt will cause abrasion if it has flex or when the tool goes in and out, anf it comes in and out of your pocket :)

You are very welcome, please take good care of yourself :)

I don’t have advice on whether to take it or not, I just wanted to say I’m sending love and support, this is such a raw thing to be navigating 🫂

I will say, if theres any way you can talk about this with someone IRL please consider doing so and trying to create a real life support system for yourself. Whether that’s friend, a therapist, family, someone nonjudgemental who you can discuss where you’re at could be really helpful, especially when you’re noticing an increase in risky behavior.

There is value in being able to talk things through, try to process where you find yourself and what needs the risky behavior might be filling, and why its something you do or dont want to continue. That kind of discussion and immediate support is hard to have via text posts over the internet

Sending love your way, please take care of yourself my friend

This made my fucking week, thanks

Neat! Thanks for putting it on my radar :)

Had never heard of it, do you have any context for its origin or how you’d described it? :)

I am not the most knowledgeable on this subject but didnt they just do what amounts to slavery in their colonies like in India? They had colonial rule over India until like sometime in the 1900s didn’t they? Like they were an imperial nation, I’m not sure it really matters if the the exploitation and bloodshed happened within their own landmass, but perhaps I don’t know the history of england very well

I just checked and Ireland didn’t gain independence until 1949. I think the idea that the British empire and it’s monarchy is better than the democracy that extended its benefits only to white men is kind of a hard sell. Its the British empire 😅

As bad as things are in the current moment I’m not sure theres a strong case that living under a literal monarchy with zero Democratic representation and no meaningful civil liberties was better 😅

The handful of merits of the American establishment may be currently disintegrating under the wright of neo-fascism, but the establishment the founders built, explicitly flawed though it was/is, is definitely a better establishment than imperialist monarchical British rule

Pretty sure my therapist would be trying to find a way to make the metaphor adaptive and helpful, trying to work with how I think about things lol

Hes a good therapist :)

Did trump grow a beard…? That is supposed to be trump, right?

I don’t expect most people still playing Pokémon go are actually kids 😅 I could be wrong, but as someone playing it until pretty recenly and who had friends who still played it at various points I don’t think its really popular with kids anymore

Theyre called communities, which I often shorten to “comm” or “comms”. Mbin calls them magazines. Not sure if piefed has its own name for things

!newcommunities@lemmy.world !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

These two comms, and searching manually for keywords related to stuff I’m interested in. In the thunder and Jerboa apps that pulls up relevant communities

Hands them my baby pothos sappling 🥹😭

That turned out not to be real reporting and reputable outlets covering it retracted the story, but I wouldn’t put it past Microsoft to decide its a great idea

😳
