World News@lemmy.world•Women are being abandoned by their partners on hiking trails. What’s behind ‘alpine divorce’?English
213·14 days agoBalanced take. This kind of thing is very veryserious. But also a dilution of the term Alpine Divorce, which people have died from.

It wasn’t just powerful women (and I mean powerful as in having healing, midwifery, herbalism, etc., not as in having money) that were targeted. Poor women are targetted. But woman healers, midwives and knowledge keepers were indeed targeted.

Autism@lemmy.world•Would someone chat with me for about 20 minutes?
1·19 days agoIt’s right in the name: disorder. If someone isn’t disordered by it, maybe a term like ‘neurodivergent’ is better.
So in that sense the pupil is thr nipple of the eye, because that is the aperture. Perfect logic.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Saying "Be careful" when someone stumbles is more an admonishment than a warning.
1·1 month agoIt depends on tone of voice. It can be said gently and by someone overseeing care. Tension reveals if their is a mismatch between the stumbler amd the speakers assumptions about the speakers rights to give imperatives. Some people dislike any form of governance, evem gentle care, and in that case, even kind of warning will always set them off, in any context.
It is about what we assume and imply about ourselves and others.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I don't actually read the news. I surmise the news based on memes that begin popping up for which I have no context.
1·1 month agoAs someone who reads the news, it’s so tereible right now that you probably shouldn’t read it directly. It would be risky to mental health and happiness.
One of the reason why comedians are becoming inpostant sources of news. Jimmy Kkmmel and Colbert and that kind of thing. the medicine goes down with a spoon full of sugar.
In ancient celtic culture comedians were very powerful figures. I heard they were forbidden from having heirs, like clergy, because fhey were so powerful. They could topple kings with fhwir skills.
The biggest threat to dictators and fascists are journalists. and comedians are the new journalist.
That’s a refreshingly respectful take.
I know a few Goth women that dislike how their subculture has been the subject of a fetish. But a deep respect for the power and independence of Goths is not the same as the fetishization of a people and comes from a more constructive place, I would guess. Not the same as ‘yellow fever’ for Asian women for example.
That’s why we are accused of being the brides of Satan. They can’t imagine how we have gained our power without having that particular male figure in their equation. It’s a hatred of women at its core. Countless knowledge keepers, herbalists and medicine women have been crushed by their hatred of women.
I was harassed and plagued by normie people telling me to “just meditate”. Not possible for me, but that doesn’t stop the “helpful advice” from flowing from them.
I figured it out though. If I completely exhaust myself physically with exercize, my brain takes the same meditation instructions theirs does and can respond as theirs to the meditation. It helped after that.

3·2 months agoASD is really tough. The social isolation that can come with it is hard on people. Wishing you good luck in getting a chat.

World News@lemmy.world•HAM Radio Operators in Belarus Arrested, Face the Death PenaltyEnglish
3·2 months agoNew ideas and methods are going to be what people need to combat these crackdowns. Posing new thoughts is what people have to start attempting, even at the risk of ridicule. Not every innovative idea is a winner, but eventually a new method will solve the problem. Everyone should keep thinking about how to acheive untracible HAM radio.

ADHD@lemmy.world•Half of people arrested in London may have undiagnosed ADHD, study findsEnglish
26·4 months agoI hope this doesn’t get twiated into a way to make ADHD somehow a sign of propensity for criminal behavior. People suck.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.
2·4 months agoPart of our national identity is not being the USA. We’re like the bratty younger sister that thinks we’re better, but is cut from the same cloth. Now we are getting warmer and warmer weather, that used to belong to the States. Our population hugs the Southern border, but the area with nice weather will expand as will our value and capabilities.
There is new research suggesting that certian varieties of aphantasia could be defensive against PTSD. To not see traumatic things, one only has to close the eyes.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Pit bulls are insanely dangerous, and most people who defend them are delusional and also secretly like seeing people get hurt by them.English
6·5 months agoIt’s partially a skill level issue that people are negligent about and are not competent and unbiased about assessing. Pitbull rescue, training and handling is for experienced and skilled adults who can control large powerful dogs. Not a dog for children or for unsupervised visitations. The dogs should not be bred, either.
It’s right in the name. Pit as in “the ring”.
Her great-grand aunt was a skunk, clearly.
