I wear combat boots made for first responders (Haix). They are about 3-4 times the cost of yours, but they are made in Europe. Anyway, I've had my oldest pair for over six years, and I put at least 10 miles on them on a day. The only upkeep they've needed so far is some conditioner. I have a ton of boots, but these are by far my favorites
I've worn them in the Arizona desert during summer, and in winter where I live (gets to -30F and colder)
Banh mi is so good. There was a little Vietnamese cafe nextdoor to a place I used to work, I went there every workday. I saved so much money after I moved to a different location xD
It looks like there are two idiots here
Facebook is damn near a necessity in the area I live because no one wants to host their own websites. I've still not given in to making an account, but I'm starting to feel the struggle of not being able to contact small businesses.
So, I can imagine some of those users are multiples of the same person if they also have an account for their business
Glyphosate too. Increasingly linked to Parkinsons, cancer, and endocrine disorders among other things.
Jokes on me, my bladder can't handle water before bed anymore
I don't know if my brain is addled by the sheer amount of mudslinging he does, but I can't think of another politician that has publicly had issues with more than one or two people.
Obama, Hillary Clinton, Biden, various governors, AOC, Pelosi, various mayors. I actually can't even list all of the people Trump has had to "rescue America" from.
When I was transitioning out of therapy, I used a peer support as a stepping stone to forging my own support network. The person who was assigned to me is studying to be a psychologist. He was well aware of my ADHD.
One day I was talking about how exhausting it can be to find a New Thing that becomes my existence until I squeeze out the dopamine I can get from it. This man goes "Wow, you really have an addictive personality."
If current psychology students aren't being taught how ADHD impacts the way people interact with the world, and they instead dismiss it as a personality trait with negative connotations, I don't have much hope that people will stop discriminating either.
The worst part is, it's widely known that the population he and I inhabit often develop addictions through self-medication or self-soothing. There's so much more to addiction than what many people assume it is
This account is new, but lemm.ee was my home instance for two years. The Admin, sunaurus, was great, and I am impressed that he made it as long as he did before asking for help. You say it was stressful modding this community, so I'm sure you understandand how stressful it was for him to be the admin of such a popular and busy instance.
It really concerns me that you're glossing over the fact that the Nazi glorification reports were all quickly dismissed by whichever mod(s). You're trying to rewrite history, and again, it's a funny thing to do with this instance going offline soon.
As the saying goes: if a Nazi sits at a bar and no one kicks him out, it's a Nazi bar. How can you expect anyone to take conservatism seriously if you aren't keeping the worst of humanity from being associated with it?
Take a breath. Let go of this. If Lemmy is "trash" for you, maybe this isn't a good fit. That happens in life, and I get that you feel it's unfair. But, it was pointed out in your other thread that the fediverse works in a way that you can be your own admin of a conservative instance, and you had at least one invite to one that is already up and running
My squadron had a lot of immigrants in it for how small it was, and they were all better sailors than most. I'm glad that some immigrants had someone like you fighting for them, it's not an easy path to take
The 🙏 for Gale cracked me up. I feel like Lae'zel wouldn't even have a phone to reply from
Rheumatoid arthritis can cause toes to curl into claws. There's another autoimmune disorder that does this too, but I can't remember which. Lupus maybe? Which would be fitting by name alone
