First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

—Martin Niemöller

Why don't humans have paw feet? by medusa in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Walk barefoot, toughen up your feet. I prefer having thumbs and hands to paws.

Doctors used to perform "pelvic exams" on unconscious women all the time without their knowledge or consent. Totally legit practice back in the day.

The US healthcare system is barbaric... by medusa in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

[-] medusa@sh.itjust.works 69 points 4 months ago

Friend of mine became extremely sick. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong, but his life became pain and insomnia. After many torturous years, he was tired of being bedridden and miserable. He couldn't end it; his wife would lose her health insurance through his employer. So he walked off into the woods.

He's been legally missing for a few years now. He made sure to bring his ID with him, in case he is found one day.

That's the American healthcare system.

Why do we still live here: if we could leave, we would. We've been trying.

Hanging out with my nieces/nephews I now understand most the discipline I received as a child was most likely because I was being annoying and nothing to do with right or wrong. by medusa in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

[-] medusa@sh.itjust.works 30 points 8 months ago

I agree wholeheartedly.

actual addition to conversation

The only instinct a child has to get attention is to be disruptive. Eventually they learn patience, better verbiage, and how to time their interactions with others. Time isn't really a concept yet and things are almost an "on/off" switch.

Hunger doesn't exist during playtime until Hunger is activated, in which case, Hunger is all that exists. Hunger can only be eliminated with help as the cookies remain furiously out of reach. HELP!

"Attention-seeking behavior" is "hey I need help with something" in their first language. It's up to the adults to figure out what's going on. Finding out why they are being disruptive helps, a lot. If they feel they're being ignored, work out spending time with them as reassurance... when convenient. If they're hungry, take a moment to procure a proper snack, and then they'll be satisfied. They might not even know what they need - do any of us really - and that's where listening can be helpful.

Again, time not being easily explained such an on/off age.

I am not a child therapist. I've just worked with too many "difficult" kids.

Feed an image, and everything goes sideways. This is a new chat channel, starting with the first image shown... so why do they keep going sideways?

A vibrant and cheerful scene of a Waffle House restaurant painted completely in blue, set on a sunny day. The restaurant should be a single-story structure with a typical Waffle House design, but with its exterior walls, roof, and signage all in shades of blue. The scene should be lively and welcoming, with people walking around, some entering and exiting the restaurant, conveying a happy and busy atmosphere. The sky should be clear and bright, adding to the overall joyful vibe of the scene.
