It absolutely isn’t, but it’s good that he’s saying so anyway.

Ideally a psychiatrist. Failing that, a licensed therapist. If you can get a hold of a social worker they can often point you in the right direction.

[edit: or talk to your doctor about it]

Legit heroes resigned. This coward should be put in stocks and subsequently run out of public life.

Wat?

Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.

Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.

Oh, I forgot that Truman, the only person in history to actually use nuclear weapons, famously only did so because he had depression. Or he was a perfectly mentally well person who was also a racist to the extent that he didn’t care about the lives of Japanese children. One of those. I always get it confused.

Anyway, the answer to who I would loan a gun to and who should be capable of launching a nuclear strike is the same: no one. But I would trust your averaged depressed person with the nuclear codes more than I would Trump. To be clear: if Trump has a mental illness, that is not the thing that is wrong with him. What’s wrong with him is that he’s a fascist.

I had a co-worker who said he didn’t want a woman to be president because “she’d start a war every month.” I guess he’s not really misogynist like I thought.

It’s always disappointing to see how much people on here hate people with mental disabilities. Under no circumstances would anyone be OK with comparing Donald Trump to another minority. I think even insulting him by calling him fat is perceived as too gauche. But ableism? 100% OK by most of Lemmy.

Makes sense. How can we expect our troops to drop bombs on middle-eastern children if they can’t get it up?

The gall of a country with 5% of the total population but 20% of the incarcerated population lecturing the rest of the world on freedom.

Go find a successful and ambitious person to fall in love with, marry, and be a happy male housewife.

Fun fact: the word husband comes from house-bond, i.e. homeowner. So “house-husband” is in a sense redundant.

Alternatively, find a job you are at least decent at and can tolerate. You don’t need to love your job and be passionate about it to be happy.

Can we not? Why take a dig at poor people to make fun of a rich person?

It’s unclear to me how they even could save taxpayers anything. It’s not like when they fire a government employee, the money shows up in people’s tax returns. I suppose they could fire the entire IRS so you just don’t have to pay taxes at all, but then I guess you aren’t a “taxpayer”, and thus not worthy of consideration.

Those were decisions to change the specific names of specific places, not a decision to handle country names in the general way OP was describing.

why did they decide

Nobody sat down and made a decision to handle country names the way we do. It organically happened the way it did for no particular reason other than it works well enough.

why don’t we change everything back to how the countries’ place names are pronounced by their citizens out of respect

Nobody cares enough to undertake this. I don’t particularly care that people call the US by different names in their languages. People in Turkey aren’t asking us to pronounce their country’s name the same way they do. Most people are happy to apply the inverse golden rule on this, i.e., I don’t pronounce your country’s name the way you do, so I’m not going to expect you to pronounce my country’s name the way I do.

Would it make things harder or would it allow us to grow?

Yes, but I think it would be a lot of work for not much growth. You don’t learn a lot about a place by just pronouncing its name differently.

It’s very funny to take this tack when you are basically claiming to be the smartest person in the country, the only one to see the plain truth of the situation

I can’t think of Reagan’s shooter’s name, either. That isn’t proof it was staged.

Love that straight up QAnon level shit is getting the majority of upvotes here. Good sign, the future is bright

I mean, they are doing their job. It’s just that their job is to keep the left down, not to win.

Your karyotype doesn’t determine what kind of gamete you produce.

See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_insensitivity_syndrome

AFAIK we don’t have any way to determine this before sex differentiation actually occurs. When sex differentiation occurs it happens as a response to hormones, not karyotype. It’s possible that environment could be the determining factor, as is the case with freemartins.

So no, it’s not an exaggeration nor embarrassing to say that nobody meets the order’s definition of male or female.

I conditioned my statement with “if you are getting by alright”. If nutritional needs aren’t being met that’s not getting by alright. Though I can see how someone might interpret that differently, but that was my intent.
