I agree with you somewhat, but it’s not like Swiss military / civil service for men is any different and this seems like a more equitable approach to the existing system. Also, sure it’s cheaper than hiring specialized personnel gor this type of labor, but I’m assuming the state would still be paying the normal wages to employers, so young people won’t earn less during their service (I could be totally wrong though)
There is one called “The Scout Mindset” by Julia Galef. It’s an amazing resource when it comes to teaching critical thinking, because it gradually introduces the reader to the virtue of being able to change your mind/opinion based on new information. I think that’s a fundamental skill everyone needs in order to use critical thinking in a meaningful way.
Sevastopol was out of range for Ukrainian missiles until recently. The Ukrainian army was able to move their launchers 10-20km south only thanks to the gains made during the summer offensive. The recent attacks on Russian targets in Sevastopol/Crimea are probably precisely to draw Russian deployments from the front lines.
Leftists who think, if I don’t subscribe to their narrow, personal definition of leftism, I must be an epistemically evil conservative maniac with no middle ground whatsoever.
My take: If you are at a low point in life, have a mental disorder or are depressed, your chances of getting addicted over time is greatly increased and you probably shouldn’t consume without medical supervision (even then, THC-less weed might be better for you). It’s really hard to get out of the habit once smoking weed slowly becomes the only thing that can give you joy/relaxation, and your mental situation worsens long-term.
In most other cases your risks are very small and you definitely should try it sometime. Every person reacts a little differently, hence the many opinions out there. I say just try it, see how it makes you feel and if you decide to consume regularly, try to be mindful of any negative habitual/bodily changes that long-term use may cause.
I wish you named it “lewwy.world” just for the symmetry lol.
Man, I knew it was going to be hard, but these first few days have been hell. Crying every night, throwing up, anxiety attacks… all the good stuff. My admission wasn’t even addiction related, but I feel you. I’m glad you made it into/through rehab and that you’re better now. If it were easy we wouldn’t have landed there in the first place. And ya, the view and fresh air definitely help, prolly more than I’m aware.
All the best to you, too!
Added to my audible, I’ll make sure to checknit out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you for sharing this, i really appreciate it.
Thank you ❤️🩹
Good to know it’s being looked at. I understand now that it’s a pretty big ask. I appreciate the feedback, thanks!
This may be true, but I think the main reason for less “obvious” baddies in modern movies is simply that they kind of went out of fashion from a culture standpoint. The ways how stories are told and how world is portrayed/perceived in art and media is heavily dependent on the people who live in it. Post-modernism is en vogue because we’ve shifted our world view from simple good vs. bad towards recognizing that the world we live in is much more nuanced/complex. “Sometimes the villain is in your head” or “nothing really matters, everything sucks one way or another” are world views that reflect our modern western culture a lot more since we are so much more connected to the world through the internet.
That said, post/meta-modernism is just one side of this. I’m sure there are plenty of commercial reasons to make toothless, non-offending movies as well. Also, movies like Top Gun: Maverick prove that the classic approach to storytelling (good guys vs bad guys) can still work and make a shitton of cash (although they didn’t go all in on who the enemy actually is).
Huh. It seemed to work fine till the end for me, except sometimes I had to tap twice for the video to play.
I’m totally fine not having the feature if it proofs unfeasable. Definitely would be amazing though as I now often find myself avoiding youtube posts entirely. But maybe that’s just me and I’m okay with it either way.
Facts. I just disagree with the admins’ approach to this particular issue.
I know, I never said otherwise. I just expressed my opinion on the matter. Telling me to go start my own instance if I disagree is kinda proving my point.
Poor arguments does not equal talking shit. And I would prefer to decide for myself who I do/don’t listen to. It’s the admins’ right to ban instances as they see fit, but I don’t see a good reason to do so preemptively. I’d rather include opinions/ideologies I don’t agree with than shut them out (as long as they follow the rules, to which Hexbear didn’t even get the chance).
That doesn’t necessarily mean the arguments are made in bad faith.
What registrar do you use? Last time I checked .io domains where like 4x the price of a .org
