Kommt auf den Client an. Ich benutze Voyager, kann auf den Namen tippen, dann im Profil der Person auf die drei Punkte und bäm "Edit Tag".

Vanilla-Lemmy unterstützt das mWn. nicht.

My teenage self is in this image and I don't like it.

This happened to me too, not because she was nagging and shit like that, but because I started to feel good about myself, like myself even and became more confident and so I started to take care of myself.

I think it's a very important frame. Everyone should have a good, long think about how much money it costs them that billionaires exist. And it isn't distributed evenly, basically every european and american has spend tens of thousands of dollars so that some people have more money than they could ever spend and use it to pay politicians to keep that dough rolling in, stabilising a system of redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich.

The same holds true for rich and poor countries. Most poor countries today are poor because they have been plundered in one way or another.

1 trillion dollars divided by 8 billion humans could pay each and everyone if us 125 dollars, which would go a long way in poor regions.

Or, framed differently: Tesla stole 125 dollars from every human alive to give it to Elon Musk.

Giving money (especially in the form of services) to people who need it, immediatly injects money into the economy. Because needy people don't save big sums. When they have money to spend, they spend it. It remains in circulation, serving the economy until it reaches the hands of someone who can afford to not spend it. The very instant money reaches rich folk it could just as easily not exist anymore for all the good it does then.

The US cannot afford tax breaks for the rich, but injecting money into services and payments for the poor has a really good return on investment for a country.

The level of pH difference we're talking about here is negligible. You're constantly bathing your teeth in your (slightly acidic) spit and swallowing your spit all the time, the very few moments your teeth come into contact with slightly more alkaline water have no lasting influence. Plain tap-water (also slightly alkaline with a pH of ~7.5 in most of the US) would have the very same effect.

Brushing your teeth after a meal and abstaining from sugary drinks is where the difference is at, Everything else is talking about if Mount Everest is higher when you place a grain of sand on top... technically yes, but no.

Nope, it's a known phenomenon: https://www.healthdigest.com/1432002/why-bite-palm-mosquito-bite-itch/

Instructions unclear, am fat now.

"We need to work longer in order to maintain the prosperity that generations have built up since the end of World War II,"

And where is that prosperity? The richest 10% of households own over 60% of net wealth, while the bottom 20% have no wealth at all. The top 10 percent of the german population accounts for around 61.2 percent of total wealth, with approximately 10.5 trillion euros.

And the difference between the top and the bottom only keeps growing. Because most of the profit generated by selling our work goes to the super-rich. This means lifting the retirement age will only increase the difference between poor and rich and mostly benefit the rich, who can retire early or work leisurely at will, while grinding down the old and poor.

We could easily take care of everyone in Germany if only we would commit to redistribute wealth more fairly instead of from the bottom to the top.

To be fair, I'm cis and happy with my masculinity. But I'd still rather be a beautiful women than a guy who looks like I do.

"I don't want the maybe-nazi, so let's capitulate to the definitely-nazis."

If one believes in the supernatural (which I don't) Karma and Samsara don't stricly need agency. They could be emergent properties of underlying supernatural laws/processes.

They absolutely are incompatible with a rejection of the supernatural, but not with the simple rejection of the existence of a god (as in: a supernatural force with agency)

Dude. No. My atheism is a rejection of a proposition that god exists. Nothing more and nothing less.

My strong/gnostic atheism is a rejection of the concept that gods could exist, based on my rejection of the concept of the supernatural based on my conviction of the intellectual importance of methodological materialism and scepticism in everyday epistemology.

But atheism does not have to include ANY of the second paragraph, it is NOT identical with scepticism, nor with the rejection of everything supernatural, even if those often coincide.

And you are muddying and diminishing atheism by "no true scotsman"ing it here.
