captainlezbian,

Is the child comfortable with the hearing? Children given cochlear implants often experience pain from the sound

captainlezbian,

Yeah, it’s so harmful. Marrying one’s molester is about the worst decision a teenager can make according to everyone I’ve known who’s done it

captainlezbian,

No it means they have to wait until both are at the age of majority.

captainlezbian,

There are two ways to solve for this: private ownership by a dedicated individual, and worker cooperative ownership with a strong culture.

captainlezbian,

Microsoft getting back to the business strategy that made them successful

captainlezbian,

I am Lemmy’s token syndicalist lol. I love democracy so much I think we should have it at work too.

captainlezbian,

Probably a union hall. Maybe try the Wobblies. Definitely join me in propagandizing. But yeah organize in some way, you can probably find the hand of syndicalists somewhere in your local leftism scene, we’re notorious for being well organized as we’re where anarchism meets “ok but like we need a plan and some clear goals”.

captainlezbian,

I was under the impression that that was the point

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms (www.theguardian.com)

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

captainlezbian,

A lot of Jewish groups have protested Israel and their Jewishness has been ignored and them been called antisemites or they’ve been called self hating Jews.

captainlezbian,

Yeah it’s weird how computers are still so grounded in weirdo cultures but because everyone has to use them and they’re the foundation of modern society and economy these people often run into something they aren’t prepared to deal with whether it’s copy left and the open source movement or it’s terminology and naming with an irreverent flair.

This is also how you wind up with me casually talking about linux and home servers with a bunch of anarchists as we fix up old bikes while I know engineers and tech chasers who are scared of such things.

captainlezbian,

I did too, but I was a child and in retrospect I feel like that made me the target audience.

Like I get that Microsoft has for a long time been trying to make tech and computers feel non threatening. And clippy feels like a reasonable attempt especially within the program it was created for Microsoft Bob which was something I can totally see a world in which it had been popular

captainlezbian,

Yeah but the Dems will always lose without the majority

captainlezbian,

Because I misunderstood where you were going with it

captainlezbian,

Funny, they only seem to ever run as republicans.

The military wing of the Democratic Party is the navy in my experience, but the military wing of the American left wants to fight the kkk everywhere they see them.

captainlezbian,

Yeah the Hapsburgs have funded American transphobia

captainlezbian,

Yeah Hijra, Kathoey, two spirit, femineillo… One thing (ok two spirit is a lot of things, but this is one) interpreted through many cultural lenses. We are everywhere, we have always been. It has often been difficult for us, but for fucks sake it doesn’t have to be.

captainlezbian,

Well that’s a real shame. Ori was delightful, and great for an adult with other hobbies

captainlezbian,

It’s hard for me to care that they’re offended given how many of my siblings they drive to suicide every year.

Good art, great message, it certainly hit me hard

captainlezbian,

Black bean tacos. Whatever you do with beef, use a can of black beans instead

captainlezbian,

Yeah, I just wish both drugs existed. What people think lsd does sounds more casually fun than a drug that makes you horny then introspective and all the while tied to mystical feelings. LSD is the best time I’ve ever had confronting my behavior, but it does force me to confront shit

captainlezbian,

Oh absolutely, though I never noticed the olfactory or aural ones. It’s that they aren’t coherent hallucinations. They’re more likely to be geometric. They can tap into the entheogenic properties but pop culture loves to treat it like it’s visual first and temporal last, when really any dose will give most people temporal hallucinations, and it’s usually a medium dose to make the ceiling go wavey. I’ve never done a large dose so I can’t speak on that.

Outside the time hallucinations, the hallucinations aren’t the main attraction, it’s the tapping into the feeling of connectedness.

captainlezbian,

This spent several decades as a conspiracy theory on par with ufos. Then some people stole some government records and it’s now stiff they admit to

Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens (www.pbs.org)

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

captainlezbian,

They’re still following their WWII and czarist military doctrine of “we have more people and resources than you”. It’s a shame that Russian military leadership will forever be associated with this instead of having a second chance to demonstrate the actual might and strategy of Trotsky’s red army.

It sometimes seems like being in power in Russia destroys your ability to have sensible military strategy

captainlezbian,

Yeah if we’d done this in Vietnam it wouldn’t be great because Ho Chi Minh was the elected leader of Vietnam, but the Vietnam war wouldn’t’ve been the absolute shit show it was. Frankly most of our wars should’ve been this

captainlezbian,

That’s um a bad look even by America in 2002 standards jeez

Ok Europe why the fuck haven’t you prepared for conflict with us‽

captainlezbian,

Yes, but this is basically saying “try to enforce the laws we helped write and we invade”

captainlezbian,

Injections. A 1 month vial can be stretched to 3

captainlezbian,

And let’s not pretend that trans Palestinians aren’t also being bombed and starved

captainlezbian,

Boi was that for me. There was a time in my life it and civ dominated.

captainlezbian,

Yeah I had to debate my right to marry in high school

captainlezbian,

Not the age to marry, the age I argued. My right to marriage was in question before I’m gay.

Unfortunately my state does not and at no point in my life has it considered prohibiting straight teenagers from getting married. In fact my girlfriend married a man in high school.

captainlezbian,

Early detection is important for another reason. When trying to kill it you really want to be doing overkill. The less cells it is the less destructive overkill is.

captainlezbian,

Let’s set aside morality, because that’s also wrong. It’s factually incorrect. You want someone to die in childbirth? Knock them up at 16. Early 20s are the actual reproductive prime.

captainlezbian,

It’s grounded in disgust over violations of what they perceive to be natural. They see a 16 year old girl having a husband to be natural, they see a 16 year old AFAB boy as being a violation of the natural order. And since they see queerness as a sexual perversion and marriage as the sacred outlet of sexuality they see queer people as pushing sex on teenagers when they’re just encouraging them to settle down and have a family

captainlezbian,

I hear we’re not allowed on the internet

'Staring down little tyrants': Kristi Noem's book includes false anecdote about Kim Jong Un (www.usatoday.com)

“I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un,” she wrote in the book set to be released Tuesday. “I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”...

captainlezbian,

Because those things were never disqualifiers for them. Newt Gingrich divorced his wife for having cancer. Reagan was a California divorcee. Going to church is a statement of allegiance, and that’s what they’re concerned with

captainlezbian,

It’s hard and it hurts. Self improvement, especially when you’ve been publicly vocal, requires humbling yourself. It involves accepting shame. And it sounds like in her case it involves reprocessing some trauma. I know who I choose to be, but on a much lesser scale I’ve met plenty like her. Folks who make the choice not to reevaluate their beliefs

captainlezbian,

Cissexism often relies on denying the realities of intersex bodies. Or underplaying how common they are.

The reality is biological sex is clustered bimodal traits.

captainlezbian,

Probably larger than pollen

captainlezbian,

It involves stuff like if you’re a magical or a martial I assume

captainlezbian,

It’s case by case, the category of intersex sometimes called hermaphroditism (though many dislike the term) is usually accompanied with sterility though. It’s also very rare as far as intersex conditions go

captainlezbian,

Actuarial tables are a magnificent tool for when you’re betting en Masse and terrible if you’re betting once. My money is on the slightly older individual who takes care of himself and has shown only slight age based decline as opposed to the man who is two years younger, obese, lives off fast food, doesn’t exercise, and seems to be at a further stage of decline to my 90 year old grandpa.

captainlezbian,

He’s also never going to be president. I wish he was, but I won’t be voting for him in the 2028 primaries. I’ll probably vote for AOC or whoever else takes his place.

choosing a lemmy instance (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Alt: “Choose your own radical identity” followed by an anarchist flag with half of it being blank. Next to it are crayons in different colors, referencing different anarchist orientations using different colours to fill the space. At the bottom it says: “A DIY activity book for ages 9-12”

captainlezbian,

What are you going to do? Shoot them in the back about it?
