I want the same advice, but for cat parents without kids.

He’s grooming your mom and now your mom is ‘grooming’/readying her entire family, so he can run away from his situation in his home country and start again. The question is this: why is he running away? He has a roof over his head, he’s an adult, his aunt is forcing him to study so he can get a decent job?

Sorry this is ridiculous, he just thinks he wants an easier life and sees your mom as a way to get it. If he gets into your home, he won’t be getting a job, he’ll be playing games all day and eating food and doing nothing. Because that’s what he wants, to be taken care of.

I’m all for giving people opportunities, but this guy has no plan, beyond living with your mom. Also, again, he’s not a ‘kid.’ He’s an adult, let him figure things out for himself, or else he’ll always look for the easiest solutions and be a major problem for your family. Yes, he’s scamming your mom. Show her alle these responses and tell her to grow up and protect her kids lika an adult should do.

Take a tortilla wrap, put a slice of gouda young cheese in it, wrap like a wrap, 40 seconds in microwave et voila! Hot pocket and filling meal.

Thanks for this. I’ve read some Plato but it was so long ago, I have to look into it again.

I’m hoping for a nice overall entity, so that makes me an Agnostic theist for now.

I severed myself completely from a major religion. Never again for me.

Yes.

Same, 44, but Muslim background :) I don’t know why but your view makes me so happy, like I’m not the only one… Let’s just live our lives in peace and I agree. We have to figure out who we are and what we stand for as a ‘human’ without interference, so keeping that to ourselves (offline) makes it easier in this timeline. Let’s figure it out first and then we can go from there.

I can only describe my periods this way: like someone is twisting a serrated knife constantly in your belly (uterus). Up and down, left, right, up and down… It doesn’t stop for 3 days straight…I’m really looking forward to menopause…no amount of painkillers help. But the chocolate and nice people does :)

That’s a good take. It offers hope in times of desperation. A mental health solution would be better, but I’m told constantly that there’s a waiting list of 2 years, even though my GP is trying his very best to get me into a program, sometimes a higher power is all we have.

That said, f*ck all the religious rules. Live your life and hang on, even if you have to believe in a unicorn.

It’s better if they don’t exist. Just believe that you are energy that can’t be destroyed. That way, you’ll live forever, like molecules or whatever. I try to think of it that way? Just cruising around the globe or visiting other galaxies? Onward to the next adventure? (Sorry drunkish)

I thought that too. But when my atheist friend lost her child, the only thing I could talk about was ‘energy never gets destroyed and shit’, just to keep her away from organised religion. Because her local priest already has made an appointment to speak to her and her partner.

Sometimes it is really about giving them comfort that their loved ones will be alive as long as they remember them. That’s what I told her but I still feel shitty about it, because I hope there’s something more for the innocents, but I don’t think so.

That’s interesting, do you have some reading/listening recommendations about it? I would love that. (Trying to figure shit out)

It’s cool. I come from a religious background that I questioned all the time, even when my family focused only on teaching us the wholesome beautiful stuff, it’s still hard to be on board with the rest or how other people interpret it.

So I’ve decided to quit. It’s still hard, but I do still believe in a higher power. All the rest… I don’t think God cares about head scarves or sex or alcohol,… Just live your life the way you want to and you’ll be okay.

You really get it lol. Also, hope you don’t wake up on the first day of the periods. Or the 3 days before. Or the 5 days during the period and 2 days after :)

Belgium’s VRT. I’ve seen other countries’ outlets starting to do it too.

There are. In the first week of the attacks, the Israel Times had a blog post about Act 2 of the war. Here’s the blog post: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/our-role-in-act-2-of-the-war/

My country’s news outlet even has a section that informs us about the disinformation campaigns going on on both sides and addressing/correcting what’s probably the truth.

Edit: they’re on Lemmy too.

I have small hands and I hate that I have to jerry rig my phone with shit to just reach the upper part of it.

Yes, I have Podcast addict and just subscribed to various news podcasts, some European, some American, British, middle eastern, …

I still have to find one Israeli source to see their point of view and one Palestinian or pro Palestinian.

Depending on the narrator, they’re either freedom fighters or terrorists. The question should be why and how does Hamas exist? They didn’t pop up one moment and started killing people.

If you’re really interested, read some different sources or listen to some podcasts from both sides and you’ll have a bigger sense of things.

Edith Eger, The Choice. I was really depressed at the time and didn’t want to read about the Holocaust. Although it was gruesome at some points, it really touched me how much she’s made of her life and how positive her message still is.

It’s hit and miss most of the time. I just tried Lemmy memes and it redirects to lemmy.ml and the memes community.

Then I tried Lemmy how do I wash my kitten and there was an answer. Again for Lemmy ml. I think it depends on whether there is a post answering the question and if people commented on it.
