There would be far fewer anxiety disorders diagnosed if people did this.

Maybe this is the reason why American election campaigns never really end.

It would be, but is that what's happening?

The article seemed to mention men and women, but nothing to do with race apart from the headline.

"Got confused"?

Was he spinning it around to hypnotise people, or something? How does a penis confuse people?

Or is it a poorly phrased statement on the website?

Headline leaning into the culture wars a bit there, isn't it?

I'd fully expect a program like this to favour white men given they make up the majority of the armed forces. It's called maths. Or "math" I guess, in America.

I'm not really sure what the law is on it, but I've always presumed that self-defence only applies if someone is physically attacking you or is threatening you with a weapon.

But anyway, I guess this gives new meaning to being canvassed by your MP.

We're on Lemmy. No conversation on here or on any social media is likely going to "further society" in any way.

If Israel wanted to commit a genocide in Palestine, they could literally carpet bomb the entire place in a day and be done with it.

It's because I didn't go on a rant about capitalism.

No one, because I live in the UK.

But I would vote Harris with zero enthusiasm.

The guy has his hands in his pockets. He's not attempting to physically attack Amesbury.

There is no self-defence happening there.

My point is that slowing down the heating of the planet is doable (though you'd need the majority of the world contributing, which is highly unlikely to happen), but we can't reverse the damage that has already been done, which some people seem to think is possible.

We're not as powerful as we think we are.

 

As the title says. PS5 is a pain in the arse for not putting patch notes on the console and I hate having to scour the internet to try and find what's new in an update. Whether it be "join our Discord" or Facebook pages or hoping someone posts it in a subreddit.

So are there any sites or apps that do this well?

 

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

 

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

 

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

 

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.
