Lemmy seems a more safe place for LGBT+ people

In my opinion, Lemmy is a trans party 🥳🎉 There are so many memes about being trans almost daily. I can't tell if there is a large portion of Lemmy users that are trans, we just like celebrating the idea, or I happened to subscribe to trans-heavy communities like [email protected]. Either way, even though I'm cis-af, I love it. You go, girl/boy!

That sucks! I got dengue fever once, and it pretty bad. I can't imagine getting dengue and two others at the same time cause I was just hanging out. And this dude got it in New Hampshire. He wasn't even in a mosquito paradise like Africa or the Caribbean. This guy got West Nile Virus from a mosquito in New England. Fuckkkkk 😩

I imagine everyone that's been around him was feeling odd since it could have happened to them too. Kind of like if I had been stopped at a light right next to a car that got rear-ended and put the driver in the ICU. Also, I know I'd be hypervigilant of any symptoms for like 2-3 weeks, reading all of the early symptoms of each disease the guy got. "Oh no, I think I have EEE/St. Louis Encephalitis/West Nile Virus, too. I'm fucked."

SAIL!

Can you explain your logic?

Interesting! What are some other examples of common American English terms inconspicuously being used to dehumanize people?

Thanks! Is there a point during which any of these cells makes a decision that is not 100% mere chemical or mechanical reaction to their immediate environment? Perhaps when they need to differentiate into a new cell?

What are things? What is energy? What is my soul? Where did it come from? Is it even in this spacetime, or is the body an avatar and I'm connecting into to it via some process? How was my soul created? Why do I experience rather than my body function solely as a biochemical robot? Where does my soul go when my body dies? Is there an end to eternity? If so, what happens or doesn't happen? If not, how does change continue? What does my soul do until then? I understand life. I don't understand experience.

One time I heard an assumption that every single electron is the same electron in different places and times. I asked a physicist what they thought of that idea. He thought for a moment and responded, "Would it even matter?" Sometimes I imagine that we are all the same person in different bodies living different lives. Every normal person, every genius, philanthropist, every monster, every slave, every billionaire, every dead fetus, every person I've dated, my parents,...we're all the same person living in a different body going through every single experience of life. When I do that, everything seems so simple.

So would it even matter? Yes, because what if individuality is false? What if we're all one thing, but the current structure of life doesn't allow us to experience it as such so we incorrectly think that each individual medium of perception is completely independent? Giving everything to others would be selfish. Working as a team for the benefit of everyone would be the ultimate selfish move. We could stop all competition, treat each other with utmost compassion, and maximize our limited time in each body. But alas, the selfish versions of us are too underdeveloped in that dimension to let that happen just yet. I wonder what it would take for each of us to reach the understanding that we're all the same soul.

What does that mean?

Some classical symphonic music greatest pieces album that's at least 2 CDs worth, but hopefully more. Being on a desert island, I'm sure I will go through all sorts of moods and emotions, so I'll need something for everything.

Also, as an adult, you have to provide for yourself. Without language, that virtually becomes impossible. Therefore, you have to keep using a language you already know, which reduces immersion. As a 2-5 year-old, everything is provided for you, so you don't have to use a language you already know. You can just be there messing up language all you want in trial-and-error until you get it.

To make a real quasi-experimental study (random assignment is impossible because age cannot be assigned), we'd have to ensure that adults are given the same amount of support with activities of daily living as children. We'd also have to give them the same understanding, compassion, and forgiveness for mistakes, and also encouragement and esteem support.

After thinking it through to write this comment, I think the original microblog post is based af.
