- Comment on What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win? 5 days ago:
I’m not trying to be pessimistic or disparaging, but wasn’t the issue with the 2011 Occupy movement exactly that they couldn’t agree on a destination?
- Comment on [USA] Is "there are ICE agents roaming the streets" a good reason/excuse to avoid going outside? Or is it just a part of reality that you have to learn to accept? 6 days ago:
First, your mom is being toxic af and you are not a coward. However, she is not wrong that going outside can help with depression. It likely won’t “cure” you as it sounds like you are in a difficult situation, but it can be helpful to take short walks every day.
That being said, the ICE shit is scary af. I’m not American but I worry every single day for my family members living there. We are Mexican and the fear, IMO, is warranted, because they don’t even seem to care about legal status. I’ve been avoiding visiting for this same reason, and will not go down there until I feel it is safe to do so.
From my understanding though, they are not everywhere as much as social media makes them seem. My uncle and cousin down there (Chicago and San Diego) go about their regular days and even travel between the US and Mexico frequently and tell me they still feel safe doing so.
Even if you don’t go outside, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend disconnecting from social media for a while or limiting your intake. The difference I feel mentally when my usage goes from like 2-4 hrs down to ~30 mins or less is huge. Find another hobby like crafting or even video games if you don’t feel safe doing stuff outside yet.
Lastly, also, I said this to you a few days ago and will say it again, YOU MATTER. You are not a coward & being afraid of this insane fucking world is a reasonable response. I hope you can escape your parents house soon. You got this!

Nah, while I agree the book ending was great in its own right, the movie would not have succeeded without the ending they gave it. It would’ve felt anti-climactic and probably a little boring tbh. The movie was for entertainment, the book was for thought.
- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 1 week ago:
Lol the sims, which also is a completely learnable language.
But no, probably other better ones listed here.
- Comment on What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed? 1 week ago:
Nice, same! Switched over to bubbly water first but after my dentist told me too much of that is also not great, I’ve cut down to a couple of sparkling waters a week and a very rare soda once every couple of months.

I’m sorry, are those first examples meant to be good? Like they’re better than the new one no doubt but nowhere near great lyrics.

- Comment on If you were a superhero and you knew a 21- to 23-year-old dating older people, what would you do? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah if I was going to use superpowers to target anyone’s sex life, it’d be to stop actual pedophiles and not adults in consenting (yet sometimes maybe ethically questionable) relationships.
- Comment on Okay now what if I show you this image and tell you it's an actual conversation between me and my brother? 2 weeks ago:
I always thought the idea was to shower after the bath. I don’t like them either way but that is a personal decision and I do not have any real arguments against them.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 2 weeks ago:
Its not really a mind game IMO, if he had said no she might’ve still gone with a friend. It’s not a test it’s literally just wanting a clue re safety.

If you wanna be my lover…
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 3 weeks ago:
You showed a green flag by saying yes, so she probably felt safe enough.

I want this hat. I am neither white nor a boy but I would like it for satire purposes, please.

I don’t know if this is true but the absurdity is hilarious to me so I’m choosing to believe you.

SO TRUE , !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
- Comment on how come Lemmy show more upvoted posts further down the thread instead of at the top? 4 weeks ago:
I’m on the boost for lemmy app and noticed this happening a few months ago. Seems to be the sort option is broken so shows new by default and needs to be adjusted each community. Once I fix it in each community, it stays that way.
- Comment on What is the difference between pansexual, bisexual, and omnisexual? How do I know which one I am? 4 weeks ago:
Respectfully disagree. That pan flag is just so fucking flashy.
- Comment on What is the difference between pansexual, bisexual, and omnisexual? How do I know which one I am? 4 weeks ago:
I think pan is regardless of gender. Bi is your own and any other gender that is different from your own (essentially what you said), and omni is all the genders (but because of the gender they are, not regardless.)
its all semantics honestly, but I don’t think many people who identify as any of these would be actually strictly adherent. Sexuality is a spectrum after all.
- Comment on Should I _really_ be enjoying myself? 4 weeks ago:
Not my therapist reminding me every time I see them that it’s okay not to feel guilt while my brain flashes images of Mary crying blood.
- Comment on What is in for the antivax in a government? 5 weeks ago:
Not just that, but a poor, struggling society is easier to rule over. People are too worried about staying alive to fight the system.

No fuckin way
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 5 weeks ago:
It is a reference to how western newspapers say there are “deaths” in Gaza without explaining who caused those deaths. In the same way CK was murdered, those people have also been murdered, but western media won’t phrase it that way.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 5 weeks ago:
Oh do you mean like all the children that are dying in Gaza? No particular reason or anything, just dying. Sometimes (rarely) “killed”, by whom you ask? Just killed, no need to discuss the matter any further.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Are you conflating romantic stuff with physical stuff here? You can feel romantically attracted to someone without feeling sexually attracted to them.
That being said, she could also just not be comfortable with physical touch because of her trauma (as she told you). That is absolutely a common way for trauma to present itself.
