Partly. But it’s been building up in me for the past few months. Like I legitimately see it every day on lemmy.

Trump literally said “disabled people should just die”

[-] mecfs@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Unfortunately the examples here are serious. In that I end up arguing with the person and they defend their point that the person should die/be killed.

Hiya, so I follow a couple hundred lemmy communities and want to change accounts (to a different instance). Is there a way to make my new account follow all those communities without having to manually refollow? cheers.

It’s not gonna happen, we need 2/3rds of states, but when republicans block it, it sends a clear message who the wannabe autocrats are.

Mental illnesses are real. But the construct of “mental illness” isn’t. There is no such thing as an “illness” that is completely psychological in nature, ie. only “caused by thoughts and behaviours”.

What are called mental illnesses belongs into three broad categories instead:

Biological Illnesses

Many “mental” illnesses are genuine biological illnesses that have been shunned from fields such as neurology and stigmatised by calling them mental.

Ie. Schizophrenia (part genetic, several brain changes), Bipolar (genetic, HPA axis dysregulation + structural signs), Major depressive disorders etc. I’d like to remind that many genuine illnesses that dont even affect the brain were called mental illnesses before we fully figured the pathology out. From peptic ulcer to lupus.

difficult living conditions manifesting through changes in behaviour

ie. Some cases of anxiety disorder (maybe its normal to be anxious in the case you’re living, ie. stressful 9-5 with lots of responsibilities), reactive depression (it isn’t a mental illness to be depressed when your spouse dies, its completely normal)

Normal behaviours that society chooses to brand as deviant

ie. Gender dysphoria is not a mental illness, it is NORMAL, Same thing as homosexuality was called a mental illness in the past

I guarantee you a week ago this dude was crying because “Biden’s rhetoric was too crazy and led to the Trump shooting”

(Despite the fact the Trump shooter was a conservatuve)

Yep I really don’t think their asking that the person be a professional graphic designer and VFX producer.

Sounds like they want someone who can use imovie and canva.

Great news for disabled people. Gives us a much better chance at finding a job willing to hire us!

It gets even better

In the footage, the PM told two schoolboys: “I’m a Coke addict. A total Coke addict.”

After a brief pause, he clarifies: “Coca-Cola addict. Just for the record. Just to be totally clear. I am a Coca-Cola addict. I have seven fillings to show for it.”

On that subject…

Just in case anyone needed proof that Elmo (Elon) is a Nazi.

I’m always disappointed hearing news about Biden. So boring and normal. Where did my emotional rollercoaster of reading the news when Trump was president go?

Dark brandon better beat that facist dumbass come november though.
