It’s very benign in that form though. It’s really the gaseous forms of it that are toxic when breathed, and the liquid precursor chemicals used in manufacturing which get into our water supply that we have to worry about

If the US backs away from continuing to commit this genocide over petty interpersonal drama, that’s good but I can’t imagine a dumber timeline

It might be pedestrian to the people living there but ofc I’m gonna be astonished by actual infrastructure and development lol. It’s very impressive and beautiful

I never expected to read this headline. Fuck the settlers who stole his life from him. I hope the rest of his days are peaceful and restful

Just recently peeked at my old Reddit account after talking with my partner about some communities they like there and how that keeps them away from Lemmy/hexbear. I looked at posts in generally left leaning subs so I expected better but I suppose I’m spoiled by you wonderful people. But they number of carnists who crawl out on any discussion of veganism and MUST tirade about how all vegans are mentally ill, nutrient deficient, don’t understand agriculture, are secretly backed by 7th day adventists (had never heard this one before), lie about their diet, etc etc was just dizzying. And so many people validating that perspective and supporting it. Even saw people claiming eating ground beef diets cured their depression, on some Jordan Peterson shit lmao. Don’t really have a point to this rant just wanna say I love this community and how welcoming it is towards veganism, it’s a breath of fresh air every day here

CW Rant with some discussion of familial trauma, religion, mention of substance useI drove over 6 hours to see them and be present for the holidays and they went out of their way to cross my boundaries and make me uncomfortable. I didn’t want to be rude when they put me on the spot so I read the verses they wanted to humor them, but then they asked me to lead a fuckin prayer. They are aware I’m an atheist and resent that fact; I try to respect their beliefs but they push theirs onto me like this. I said a short prayer to get out of this whole situation and my mom started crying and smiling huge like I was just converted. Feel so weird and gross about this. They roped my partner into participating too and they’re of the same mind as me on these things so it made us both uncomfortable and anxious.

This incident was just icing on the cake of a trip full of my emotionally abusive mother starting constant arguments, my family trying to get me to drink knowing I’m sober, and being around my siblings one of whom is I’ll just say an abusive shithead. I don’t think I’ll bother going next year. I recall vividly why I was hyped to move out and why I don’t call more often. The neglect, manipulation, and abuse of years in that household all came flowing back. No wonder i deal with so much mental health shit lol

Edit: sorry if initial phrasing doesn’t convey the reason the prayer got me but it’s because I left Christianity due to the institutional abuses I experienced and witnessed, not just because I’m not religious these days. I just got put on the spot and due to family history went fight or flight and compromised my needs to get out of there asap. Really just needed to vent abt this didn’t want to spark confusion or debate sorry

Sorry for the rant just wanted to vent to my cool internet stranger friends

Man this is not good. Assad sucks bad but he really did seem to me the least terrible option. Now any pretense of secularism is gone, openly Islamic fundamentalist groups are taking power; any facade of rights for women, religious minorities, other oppressed groups will fade into the background. I don't see HTS being anything of a bulwark to US or Israeli interests like Assad had been. Despite his lukewarm response to these things it seemed he at least was stopping Syria from becoming a base for that shit. Maybe I'm just stressed about nothing but it feels to me that an anti imperialist player has crumbled in this key region and I just can't imagine how this could be a positive development

Protect Hasan at all costs, despite his flaws he's fairly principled and a decent left voice in a sea of reactionary streamer shitheads.

Friendly reminder of where to direct your energy in the coming days. Organize, educate, agitate and maintain revolutionary optimism my friends. Don’t get caught in the trap of debating about this sham election with bad faith actors. Lets work to protect each other and build the world we want to live in ✊

They literally can’t vote because of the US sanctions against them preventing them from collecting the funds to pay UN fees. They’ve been suspended from voting for a couple of years now
