Tight-laced@kbin.socialto Reddit Migration@kbin.social•Reddit app score changed dramatically1·2 years agoShowing 2.9 also for me in the UK.
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto Canada@lemmy.ca•Whitehorse man says RCMP hog-tied, tear gassed him before realizing they were at wrong house131·2 years agoI work in the finance industry and it’s similar. We have to be certain we’re talking to the right person as fraud is rampant. This is ridiculous.
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto Canada@lemmy.ca•Insight: She's 47, anorexic and wants help dying. Canada will soon allow it.27·2 years agoI agree in principle, but that’s not what’s happening in the real world.
My husband has ME/CFS. It’s a life-destroying disease, even though it doesn’t usually kill you. There’s no treatment, no cure, and no idea about the underlying cause, after many decades of research.
It’s heartbreaking to read messages from people who caught it as a teen, seen all their schoolfriend grow up, experience life, find love etc, all while the sufferer is in pain all day, no hope of improving, relying heavily on what family they have who are willing to support.
This is by no means ideal, but neither is decades of suffering. I err on the side of reducing the constant pain.
Plus people commuting less = less pollution and less congestion.
Good for people, good for the planet, bad for profit for some.
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto Malicious Compliance@lemmy.world•"Unless the house is on fire or you are hurt, do not interrupt me on the phone!"11·2 years agoAs the parent to a 5 year old, I feel this sooooo much.
I’m having to change my “just-a-second”, as she takes it literally - a second is counted. I now say just-a-minute. Frozen got it bang on when Anna says "just give us a minute " and you can hear Olaf quietly start counting to 60.
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•BBC presenter accused of paying teen for explicit pictures21·2 years agoThe idea behind calling it CSAM is that “porn” has become synonymous with something desirable - foodporn, earthporn as examples.
Child porn needs to keep it’s status as abhorrent, however the term is changing its nature (as language can).
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•BBC presenter accused of paying teen for explicit pictures8·2 years agoThis is it.
I’ve had an awful experience recently with an ex-friend, caught having an “affair” with his 16yr old employee. He’s mid 40s. Turns out, the only illegal part is that there’s pictures. He can fuck girls still at school legally, but he can’t send her or request any pictures. It’s insane.
Another layer is that the age of consent rises 18, but ONLY if you’re in a school, healthcare, care-taking, Religion or sports club setting. According to the law, being her Boss doesn’t mean he’s in a Position of Trust or a Position of Authority over her. Yet, he plainly is.
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Rinkevics sworn in as Latvian president, first gay EU head of state3·2 years agoLuxembourg has a gay Prime Minister. While not Head of State because Lux still has a King, he is rather up there in terms of practicality.

Tight-laced@kbin.socialto aww@lemmy.world•Introducing my ferrets to the fediverse. Left to right: Bandit, Smokie, Jasper, Lilith1·2 years agoAwww! Love their names!
I used to have 2 ferret boys, absolutely crazy adorable guys. Miss their antics and their endless energy.
I’m on kbin, really hoping that the new Sync will work here. However, given the way Lemmy works, I believe that it won’t really matter as its just another instance in the Federation

Now - WhatsApp, kbin, YouTube
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto World News@kbin.social•'We chose death over being raped' : Papua New Guinea kidnapping survivor speaks out4·2 years agoThose poor girls. Did absolutely nothing wrong, now they’re not even able to get comfort from their families and friends. Their lives destroyed for years to come. And I fear some may end up pregnant, to add to their trauma.
Tight-laced@kbin.socialto World News@kbin.social•National Geographic reportedly lays off its last staff writers2·2 years agoMy kids school sent home a leaflet for it this week. We were considering the subscription as she loves to learn. This has really made us rethink it, sadly.
