Honestly, I think this might be on to something. RFK jr was not always a lunatic - before he went insane he did some truly great things in his career. He then gradually made a turn for the worse, ending up as the mentally insane candidate we know today. It honestly explains his political platform pretty well.
It also reminds me of that great infowars interview with a Sanders supporter (correctly?) observing that they have worms in their brains.

Often people are looking for some sort of validation, even when it's not obvious.
If they say "I can't join you in the bar today, I have too much work to catch up on", "K." is not a good answer. Several aspects needs to be addressed, ideally:
That's too bad
Next time
Commentary on the state of work: Keep your head above water/your boss is such a jerk/we'll make up for it after your deadline on Thursday/whatever, depending on the situation and your relationship.
Basically, it's a way to show that you care about what they're telling you. It can be a bit exhausting at times.
The spelling thing bothers me a lot. I don't want to catch bad habits of writing shitty just because it's whatever seems trendy at the moment.
People used to give me shit for not using smileys, so I started adding :) everywhere in text messages. Then people told me I seem passive aggressive because I use :) instead of emojis.
Joke's on them. I could never be arsed to use emojis outside of very specific contexts, and now gen Zs are making fun of them for looking like boomers with their dumb emoji use. Apparently I still come across as passive aggressive though.
Norway, Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state on Wednesday in a historic move that drew condemnation from Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians. Israel ordered back its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland....
We think along the same lines [as Spain]. We are ready to recognize the state of Palestine and their rightful place in the UN. The question is when, and on that we are closely coordinated [with Spain]. [...] I do not exclude the possibility [that Norway will recognize Palestine by the end of June], but we have not yet decided, and it is a very dynamic situation in the region.
Spain and Norway play different roles in negotiations: While Spain rally support and are louder, Norwegian peace processes have a history of happening entirely behind closed doors until they are ready to see the light of day (if that ever happens). That probably explains why the Norwegian position has not been more clearly marked, as any such step could weaken their position in negotiations.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Yigal Amir are ideological brothers. Norway has a policy of always keeping open negotiations, but we know damn well there can be no peace with Netanyahu.

One difference being that Twitter is not (technically) dead - Nintendo Is removing support for a service that continues to exist, presumably because they don't want to be associated with it.
Not that there's any chance of it happening, but this would be an ideal use of the shared Mastodon/Pixelfed API. All the social media functionality, none of the being associated with any particular service provider.
Thanks! Thank god Twitter is so dead set on killing itself it doesn't even need people or companies to make even the simplest moral decisions to leave it.
My local food bank can only provide 8 packages with referrals every time before you run out, and I have, but my situation hasn’t improved financially due to various set backs and I’m struggling to feed myself.

If you don't have any luck dumpster diving it might be worth checking if any of your local supermarkets (or even bakeries) are using Too Good to Go. They decide how much to put in the package, but a generous place will give you a bunch of food for very little money.
A screenshot of a Tweet that reads: “Men a so weird. When they find something disgusting online they get all ecited and immediately go to share it with all of their pals lmao”
I am not talking about people enjoying things that I don't personally enjoy, I was talking about an instinct that men (allegedly) have to share quote disgusting stuff with each other.
This post doesn't seem to me to be about sharing a weird common interest with your friends. There's nothing (inherently) toxic nor gendered about having weird hobbies.
The post is about seeing something disgusting and immediately sharing it with all your friends who will also be disgusted, and portrays this as if it's just a completely normal thing for men to do. And while I can kind of understand where the assumption that men behave like that comes from, I have never experienced anything like that with any of my friends, and I'm pretty sure I never will. So it seems like a bit of a misrepresentation.
There's so many weird societal constructs about how men are supposed to behave. I have never encountered any of that shit with my friends, but that's probably partly due to a selection process where I have no interest befriending people who display toxic masculinity traits.
If you genuinely think men obsess over disgusting shit and talk about who they want to fuck all the time, maybe take a moment to reconsider a) who you're hanging out with or b) the cultural impulses you allow to shape your perception of the world.
I think the main reason men act this way is that they're trying to fit into an image of masculinity that has been imposed on them, in part through tweets such as this one.
Yeah, happens to me all the time as well. People specifically ask me not to commit acts of genocide in a specific population, and I just accidentally bomb them anyway a few hours later.
It's truly tragic, but there's really nothing I can do about it, and I honestly wish people would stop bitching about it.

I'm curious - what's the difference between magazines and users when linked to the greater fediverse?
It seems like the link to both would be @name@kbin.social. If somebody creates a user named news, it would therefore be found at @news@kbin.social - which is where the news magazine is found.
Don't these collide? How do we distinguish between the two?
If I have understood things correctly, communities can be tagged across the fediverse by including an @ for the community name, for example @kbinMeta . In Lemmy ! Is used instead, making !asklemmy the preferred format. Lemmy still, however, seems to be displaying posts from other fediverse platforms linking the community using...
