I don’t know what’s funnier about this comment section… The people who seem to absolutely despise milk, or the big milk shills downvoting them all into oblivion.

Basically it means that you can return whatever verdict you want as long as you don’t say something stupid like “I don’t actually believe this by the way.”

It’s comments like these that make me wish lemmy had a react feature. Perfect place to drop one of these suckers: ♥️

I guess I wasn’t specific enough. 😅 Borderline is kind of just difficult to treat; what I said was my attempt at explaining why. At least, as I understand it. Yes, therapists can give you very useful skills and knowledge; not knocking them at all. (Ok maybe a little. One of them did have me kidnapped…)

But ultimately what people with BPD need is a healthy relationship, and that’s just not something a therapist can provide. (Unless they want to lose their license I guess. 🤷)

But anyway thanks for the kind words. :)

You know, I’ve heard that the barter system, as a foundation of economics, is essentially made up. Like, obviously people barter, but the idea that it was a universal precursor to money was essentially invented by capitalists in the industrial era, who never could have dreamed of the myriad interesting ways thar people distributed wealth!

Apparently one of the more common ones was a sort of “gifting” system, where people just gave each other what they needed. 🤷 But of course this wasn’t universal either.

I think I understand; you don’t want your friend to see you at your worst. I hope that since you posted this you’ve gotten better self esteem at your job. 🫶

The truth is always important.

Bruh… It’s like 630 in the morning where I’m at. Take your non constructive bullshit somewhere else.

That’s what the call is for- you ask the local office if they can confirm that that officer is actually on patrol, exists, etc. Idk how that would work for ICE though; I don’t think you can just call up the federal ICE headquarters.

I remember watching a Simpsons episode about how deadly big cars are back when I was like, young. At least 15 years ago. We’ve known this for so long, how is it so difficult to just set a maximum height commuter vehicles?

(It’s a rhetorical question, but it anyone has an actual answer then count me curious.)

Crown Royal is Canadian. 🤷 Not sure if it’s available where you are though.

But those other studies didn’t make the news though, did they? The thing about scientists is that they aren’t just scientists, and the impact of their work goes beyond the papers that they publish. If doing something ‘unethical’ is what it takes to get people to wake up, then maybe the publication status is a lesser concern.

Nobleknight Adventures (I believe this is the entire short, but there are others on the channel.)

Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn’t been released yet.

I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

😮‍💨 Great… I guess autism will be at the center of the mext big culture war. Yippee…

Worth noting by the way that instagram is owned by Meta - the very company the post is calling out.

I’m sure you’re joking, but actually I’m reading a very interesting book about this topic called “The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity.”

It’s really concerned with freedom, and disputes the idea that the lack thereof is inherently tied to agriculture.

You mean the one that shot bullets made of ice? That wasn’t real, actually. The CIA made it up to impress/intimidate the Russians.

This os the first one I’ve seen that actually looked kind of good… But then I realized that the top of the hood looks like a cheap T-shirt, and I can’t unsee that. 🤣
