  • I'm not here to argue. I think you're conflating multiple things here. Vegetarianism is lower pollution yes, but it's still delivered via truck or ship, it's still usually plastic wrapped, etc. Pollution is systemically embedded in our entire society and economy, so blaming consumers is only blaming the smallest part of the problem.

    If everyone in the world tomorrow stopped buying anything that was polluting... They'd probably starve to death. Our farms and logistics are simply not designed for this. It's all been "optimised" for the lowest cost to companies and consumers both. The only solution is to start at the top and work your way down.

    Let's say you're a company that sells food. You care about the environment so you switch everything to green. Electric trucks and ships. No plastic packaging. Your operating costs triple, and you fall behind all your competitors. Most customers don't understand, don't care, or cannot afford your more expensive products, especially in this economy. You go out of business. The only way to make it work is to reshape everything so that pollution is no longer an integral part of everything. I don't know what that would look like though, I'm not that smart.

  • Redbacks suck, but usually don't kill unless you're a baby, elderly, or of weak constitution. They tend to hide in dark corners like panties and sheds and such. They are scared of you and will hide when you come stomping along. Most bites are accidental squashing, like reaching into the back of the pantry and crushing the spider against the wall. They only rarely bite humans. You'll have a bad time for a few days but you probably won't die.

    Sydney funnel web spiders are the deadly ones. They are one of the most venomous spiders in the world. They hide in shoes and clothes often, and will almost always bite you when disturbed this way. They can kill within 15 minutes of bite. They are only toxic to humans and monkeys due to a quirk of biology which affects our nervous system and heart, they are harmless to other animals. However, even so, there's only ever been 13 recorded deaths, and none for 40 years, due to a potent antivenom existing. Generally if you're severely unwell and they can see a spider bite they will antivenom you just to be safe.

    So really even though spiders and sharks are scary they're statistically very safe. You're more likely to die in the shower

  • Too obvious. We have this weird thing where most kinds of masculine compensation is a sign of weakness or cheating and un-masculine. See: toupees, codpieces, Viagra, HRT, high heels, steroids, makeup, plastic surgery, padded shoulders. It has to be "natural" or at least convincingly so or it won't be accepted

  • SOLVED: Is it in any way incorrect to interpret a downvote as a "fuck you" in a 1-on-1 convo?

    Jump

  • Actually most people I've run into here have been super chill and nice, which is a nice surprise. Like a 1:100 asshole to niceness ratio. Compared to Reddit anyway where it feels like the assholes outnumber everyone else 😂

    There's this thing some people believe that blocking is letting them win. Nah, fuck 'em. Blocking is protecting your nervous system from needless negativity. Those micro cortisol spikes add up fast.

  • Downvote does have negativity associated with it. But it's important to separate:

    1. "This person doesn't agree with me"
    2. "This person hates me"
    3. "My idea is stupid and bad"
    4. "Everyone here hates me"
    5. "I'm a stupid and bad person"

    For a lot of us, it's an automatic defensiveness pipeline from start to finish. The hard part is drawing a line between each concept without your emotions bleeding up/down into other categories. If you master this skill, it can help you in other parts of your life you mentioned in the comments.

    Good luck! ✧*。ヾ(´∀｀*)ﾉ

  • Can you explain why blocking is considered a negative thing? To me it just means protecting myself from a person that upsets me

  • Hell yeah. For some reason my soul is the shape of an amorphous cloud. Like a nebula, or a fart. It has its pros and cons, but it is what it is, I haven't figured out anyway to change it.

    I never thought maybe others would have different shapes or forms, that's super interesting.

  • What is the process of becoming a father minus a partner?

    Jump

  • People are being weird to you, but I just wanna say that raising a child and co-living with a life partner are completely different things and skill sets.

    There's no rule book that says you need to have a partner to have a child or raise them well. Ignore anyone who says this. If you just got out of a toxic relationship, it's completely normal and healthy not to want to jump back in the dating pool. I got out of an abusive relationship a few years ago, and I have 0 plans to remarry or even open a dating app.

    The average relationship takes a huge amount of work, often fails, and the average divorce time is 10 years. If you don't want to deal with another adult for a while, there's zero shame. You're not doing it wrong, you're not missing anything vital. You probably already know all this but I'm just giving reassurance.

    Kids are much simpler than adults, but harder work. You can get into a routine and life kind of goes on autopilot, and you solve problems as they come up. It's hard work but it's typically uncomplicated work, without the emotional manipulation.

    Only one warning I will say: make sure you're in a good headspace going into it. The last thing you want is for any unresolved damage from the relationship to come out as an emotional reaction to something your child does. Then it turns into generational trauma.

    Good luck ✧*。ヾ(^.^)ノ

  • When I'm out by myself with the kiddo I don't feel judged at all. If anything some people compliment me on it, which feels like being complimented for not being neglectful but I'll take it.

    It feels dangerous to play or even talk with other people's kids though, but that's a different thing.

  • I'll raise a counterpoint then: how many independent countries are now known as "China"? The difference is that the Roman Empire fell apart, and everyone kind of reverted to their original culture or became something new. Same thing happened in Greece after the centuries-long Turkish occupation and war crimes complicated events.

    The analogy is very messy now and it doesn't make sense anymore ~😂~. But I guess the end result is that it's not so simple at which point one nation ends and another begins. Real history is messy and once you actually look into it, it's not a simple thing at all.

    In the first place "Greece" wasn't even one thing, it was a messy collection of city-states and alliances that kind of got along sometimes. I think many places in the world was like that back then, actually. Then Alexander the Great happened and a lot of the world was Greece. Then it wasn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    So yeah. You can make things as complicated or as simple as you feel like.

    • Level 1 complicated: it's a 9000 year old ancient Greek skeleton
    • Level 2: it's an ancient skeleton found in what is now known as Greece
    • Level 3: it's a Pelasgian skeleton

    I wouldn't call level 1 "incorrect". I would call it "simplified". People who know Greece didn't exist 9000 years ago will already know the truth. Everyone else won't really care. But I know many people here on Lemmy are "semantics enthusiasts".
