Everything.

Have you tried clearing your sinuses with a netty pot or similar?

Always a silver lining… of plastic around a bird’s neck.

Sorry for your loss.

You can use bio-degradable balloons but there is no guarantee they will not end up strangling birds or rendering squirrels immobile. Maybe something that could start degrading some hours after you release it? It might end up safely popped midair without ruining the lives of wildlife.

But let me just add: I think you should not do this at all. It’s too risky to do with traditional balloons, and it might be hard to find these “real/verified” biodegradable balloons, plus no guarantee they actually do what the backside says.

Then what is the ICJ investigating? And how do you explain the hundreds of genocide experts who have called it that? Thanks.

Weird, I did the same from the editor. it works for me on Sync bot not on lemmy.world on web /: Guess they need to sync these, otherwise we’ll have spoilers floating around everywhere in the face of unsuspecting readers

The spoiler block doesn’t work on Sync it seems, unless you used the wrong >!spoiler tags!<. I wonder if it was the full stop or it being broken over several lines.

Thank you, though I know you’re not willing.

Coincidentally, a genocide has been unfolding in the past 3 months, and that tends to put people on edge.

This might be hard to believe for those who say that, but I still email my friends. I’m 30 years old, decided to let go of all social media, and other friends enjoy sitting to focus for a few minutes and write something thoughtful. Depending on the country you live in, most communication with authorities or services will be via email.

I hate marketing emails and never willingly signed up for any of the ones I’m complaining about. It’s always been a case of a hidden box or a sudden decision to create a new type of email and opt me in automatically. That’s why I popped the question here.

source?

They could do this for a number of reasons. They may be jerks or are dysfunctional teachers. And no, this is not normal, and no, you should not be okay with this. The best action to take depends on your current situation.

What country are you from?

You do understand what an analogy used for the purpose of illustrating a point is, right?

Yes, we all get that. Not sure what you gain from saying that. It good mental exercise to accept the modifications people make to your anology. Otherwise, we’re not “thinking together”.

I remember reading in The Mating Mind that since hunter gatherer societies long ago had more leisure time, they could spend it socializing, and growing their brain.

I would be doing more programming and more open source work. I would also spend more time doing physical activities like sports. I wouldn’t mind doing gardening for anyone, I also wouldn’t mind automating all their systems. Definetely I’d sleep for one extra hour.

Not necessarily. The opposite might happen as people age but never deal with their real problems. Then the problems grow and they become even twatier than before. If anything, kids are the nicest until about 5th grade which is when they learn how to be assholes from adults around them.
