  Or just, wealth/stability. So many people would give away money to have their own vegetable garden attached to a multi-generational home - they can then figure the rest out from there.

  Humans are different and have different interests but one thing common to all of us is that we enjoy:

  • being outdoors
  • exercising
  • having community
  • learning skills and creating things

  There are actually some people who successfully self therapise. This is hard to do, so it’s actually a testament to just how many people out there need therapy, which reflects how unhealthy modern life is for humans.

  The core idea of the tweet is correct - people can heal mental health sounds when given the right environment to. We live in a time where almost nobody is in the right environment for this, which requires what I listed before (healthy community, access to green space, purpose and recreation). This is basic stuff, I think it’s covered by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs - which, ironically, is often shown to business students in universities, but then disregarded by the capitalists who rule this world.

  I’m sure I agree but your comment suggests you could summarise what else you think should be factored into the measure of success, and now I’m curious to hear it

  At least OP said women and not “females”

  Weaponised schizophrenia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Painful to recover from⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Men are attracted to the “airhead type” because those women are good at making men feel good about themselves and keeping up lively conversation; and though people usually prioritise companions who have the same interests as them, they enjoy talking also to a lively conversation partner, perhaps someone as-different-from-themselves as possible, someone who surprises them.

  Many men feel that all women have the “airhead” quality - no, not as in they’re all stupid, but as in they’re lively and conversational in that stereotypical way that disrupts the man-to-man conversation; and though they do not speak to men as equals (preferring to talk over them or jerk the conversation off on some other tangent, perhaps, or dwell on uniquely feminine topics which baffle/disinterest the male listener), this is seen as no big loss, really. For women are different to men, and their presence in our lives is welcome precisely because of that rather than in spite of it.

  The important thing to remember is that people change overtime and every person is more multifaceted than massive media would have us believe - so yes, that is “just Hollywood.” Who’s to say why a man likes an “airhead,” she probably has more depth than you know about.

  Pizza is a savoury cake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Guacamole is so much nicer than avocado. I probably eat more guac than mashed potatoes, usually on toast or in wraps though. As the Aztec gods intended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard to say if it’s Irish. It could be. But:

  First printed recipe: English author Hannah Glasse published the earliest known recipe for modern mashed potatoes in her 1747 book, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy.

  The recipe: She instructed cooks to boil and peel potatoes, then vigorously mash them with butter, salt, and milk.

  Obviously Britain and Ireland are very close to one another, and someone being English doesn’t mean they don’t have Irish parentage or tutelage or friends. (Even in those days.)

  Britain + Ireland are also called “The British isles,” so unfortunately for the Irish, even if we disambiguate to include the possibility of it being an Irish creation, it will still be called a “British” dish - which merely makes it look like it’s English again, to most people.

  You’re pathetic and porn addicted

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon overdoes it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. From my experience with maturation, the less you master bate, the better an erection is. And the less porn you use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon overdoes it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Young people can get ED from excessive porn use. What do you gain from lying about this?

  You also don’t have to be a gymnast to get back pain.

  Hence why it is laughable that you’re presenting old age as the only route to ED

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon overdoes it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You get that from porn and masturbation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon overdoes it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to know EXACTLY how much masturbation makes one’s “penis not work” but i suspect it differs from person to person.

  Perhaps the first monks were people who wanked once and then went “oh no… Oh no no no”

  Just as soon as the porn stops being so abundant and interesting to occupy all of OOP’s free time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon meets Jigsaw⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So he realises he has enough funds to organise a dispirit group of strangers into a kill chamber, and does that instead of using it to fund cancer treatment either in the USA or elsewhere.

  By “targeting people who take life for granted,” saw is a hypocrite!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the context of biblical history, I’ve heard that, because of the Alexandrian empire and it’s 3-4 off-shoot kingdoms, Greek was actually the ‘Lingua Franca’ (default language for international communication) throughout the middle east; from before the Romans arrived, to Jesus’s time, to until after the Roman empire split in two for good.

  I guess it is hard to supplant an existing Lingua Franca. France today is a good example - they are very defensive of their language, once the Standard Internationale, and so France sees less English speakers proportionally than other European countries such as Spain, Nederland and Germany.

  So… The middle East’s dominant languages were Greek and Persian, Greek and Persian, Greek and Persian - then Muhammed shows up with Islam, and they conquer surrounding states. Arabic is spreading. And this is testament to Persia’s linguistic domination, right - Arabic calligraphy comes from the Persian alphabet. That’s bonkers; a group of people, B, subjugated by A, manages to get A to assume their script for all writing.

  At that point, the whole(-ish) middle east now had a different alphabet - neither greek nor Roman - to write in. Languages don’t tend to change their script once they’ve settled on one. The only examples I know are Poland, who did it because of catholic church’s influence , and Mongolia, who were forced to by the soviet union; it doesn’t happen naturally. Oh also Turkey, which was again a government mandate.

  Certain scripts are better for certain language sounds; I don’t expect Arabic will ever be written in Latin script in general practice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re pretending to not understand that you mean Latin was the language of catholic church, Roman state, law, medicine, mathematics and thus the script for (almost) all European alphabets.

  There’s genuinely a toxicity problem on Lemmy, probably ingrained in many users from years of Reddit usage. 😮‍💨🥰 but DW about it.

  Technically it is not the “basis” of languages but with contextual knowledge it’s so easy to know what you really meant by that. It’s “the basis language for European civilization,” perhaps. Written on heraldry, churches, buildings and artifacts all over the continent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do pedophile/ephebophile s have a tendency to seek out friendships or romantic relationships with young adults as well as with minors?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, a fair point. That is part of what I was wondering actually - is someone who exhibits that behaviour doing so because a young adult is adjacent to a teenager, in their eyes?

  Your observations bring us onto some natural follow-up questions.

  • Is Leonardo DiCaprio, for instance, someone suffering from ephebophilia and toeing the line legally? Most of the internet seems to think so and seems disgusted by his dating habits.
  • If a young adult is non-minor, should we tolerate much-older adults only dating young adults? If not, do you think it should it be solved with a sliding scale of “acceptable dating ages” based on your own age, or merely with social punishment (e.g “cancelling”) - or is it a non-policeable issue?
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do pedophile/ephebophile s have a tendency to seek out friendships or romantic relationships with young adults as well as with minors?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow what a stupid reason to not vet/background check someone? That’s actually a scenario I’ve wondered about before but I think all the places where I live aren’t making that mistake (hopefully)

• Do pedophile/ephebophile s have a tendency to seek out friendships or romantic relationships with young adults as well as with minors?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon works in an office⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, also it’s outrageous because American style/insurance based healthcare generates extra large profit margins and the system doesn’t even capitalise on that by transferring the surplus down to the nurses - the actual legionaries of the Healthcare machine.

  And some few people try to argue that nursing is easy, so anyone could step into the role (it’s not) - but even if that were the case, it’s:

  • A “human contact” role; things like flight attendancy, car salespeople and many other things, they get duly compensated just because they provide the human face in a system that would otherwise be massively uncomfortable to interact with.
  • A death facing role; anyone who has to see people dying deserves a lot of compensation for the psychological/mental health risk - NO job has this higher than nurses. Especially if we count people literally transitioning from alive to dead. Jobs like Morticians, Train drivers, Firefighters and soldiers are highly compensated along for the same principle.
  • A high risk role; you risk probation constantly if you do something wrong or are thought to have done something wrong. You have to challenge doctors and other nurses on their decisions and be right when you do that.
  • Communicating with disabled and foreign people role - it’s just tough. People all across industries are paid more to work with the disabled and try to communicate with foreign language speakers. Nurses are paid their same basic rate.
  • Possibly a healthcare advisory role? We tend to consider advise giving and mentorship as a quality worthy of salary raise, both in the private and public sectors.
  • on that note, In the case of my country, UK, it’s effectively a public servant role. Now while this does have favourable retirement conditions, it would, in bureaucratic roles, provide exceptionally bloated salaries for what the job at hand really is. Sigh.
  • When they strike, healthcare is harder to access. If they were organised they could strike a lot (or do semi-strikes so as to not let patients die). I imagine that the US system in some part works against this. We get a lot of NHS strikes in the UK.
