ah, so maybe a bird or rodent carried a tomato off - that’s a fun surprise, lol

I look forward to updates 👀

yeah, off-hand it does look like a tomato to me too; is it growing in an old compost pile or place where seeds are discarded?

I usually find cherry tomatoes are my most common volunteers, they are almost like weeds sometimes.

:O

false, there are no boys on the internet - we will require a photo of a sharpie in your butt to prove it you’re not a girl

denying healthcare because a patient has vaccine hesitancy seems really unethical to me, but I also think that it probably overall increases community risks compared to other methods like empathetic-refutational interviewing, especially because refusal to listen and address concerns and meeting vaccine hesitancy with sanctions will have an effect of further undermining trust and so helping anti-vaxx and anti-science movements

how did you get the venison?

looks delicious!

pretty sure OP is a woman

not down for me

you might x-post on !cooking@lemmy.world and/or !food@beehaw.org

Do you put lettuce or tomato on your tuna sandwiches? what about melting a slice of cheese and making it a tuna melt?

I don’t like to put tuna on both pieces and combine, I find it’s easier to lump it on one piece and then add the last piece of bread to the top and to smush it down from there.

If there are no societal roadblocks to prevent anti-vaxx parents raising their children to also be anti-vaxxers, then the cycle of misinformation will only get worse as time progresses.

right, but people don’t get socialized or educated by their doctors, doctors are like gatekeepers for medicine and surgeries that you get to see in very short windows of time once a year … withholding access to medicine and surgery is not going to help the situation

Regardless, parents should not have the ability to prevent their children from getting vaccinations on the basis of their own unscientific beliefs.

right, but the flip side is that you’re OK with foregoing the individual’s right to opt in or out of a medical procedure … I haven’t read enough bioethics to arrive at some kind of position on this, but I don’t think either side is obviously right - on the one hand individual liberties being protected results in more overall harm and deaths from fewer vaccinations; on the other hand ignoring individual liberties is authoritarian and can create medical trauma, as well as may backfire and result in greater resistance.

Either way, we need to solve this on a societal level through education, developing greater trust in biomedicine, and probably by penalizing the grifters who profit from promoting anti-vaxx anxieties.

are you a boomer? lol

my partner asked me to include my proclivity to bite her in my patient history document submitted for my testing for ASD 😅 now I’m wondering if there is a pattern here - are other biters also autistic?

yes!

also, where does this urge to bite come from? I don’t really know many other people who like to bite (or be bitten) …

… he was booted from a party for his lewd behavior, I don’t know if that qualifies as “asshole” - but yeah, he did something socially unacceptable - where is the ambiguity?

this is like the 5th meme like this I’ve seen, I think I’m hitting a breaking point

also, this feels like boomer humor or something, it feels so weirdly out-of-touch and not self-aware (hey, like I’m being right now!)

OP is definitely wrong about rich people not dating middle class people or poor people, etc. - rich people are sorta immune to giving a shit, they are insulated. Aristocrats may have been forced to marry strategically rather than for love, but that’s not really about being rich per se.

Maybe some middle-upper-class people try to emulate aristocratic norms about not mingling that way, tbh I feel like the middle class in general is all about proving they aren’t poor, it’s ironically very typical of poor culture to work so hard to not seem poor - rich people aren’t like that and even try to intentionally blend in around others and not show their wealth.

I guess your authoritarian regime starts to look good when the Americans slaughter an elementary school full of your children?

I don’t understand the need to paint everything in black and white, not every conflict has a straight-forward “good guy” or “bad guy” - the US is self-interested and hates Iran because the current regime challenges US hegemony and deposed a US-backed autocrat to get in power. Meanwhile, Iran is a horrible, authoritarian theocracy that engages in medieval criminal punishment spectacles. It’s all bad.

this is a News community that requires you post a link to a news article, see rules 2, 4, 5, 6

when you really think about it, since there are really so few rich people, you start to realize you don’t personally know any rich people, and you may have never even met a rich person, and then you realize everything in your life is for poor (i.e. not-rich) people

EDIT:

• roads
• grocery stores
• movie theaters
• gas stations
• libraries
• hospitals
• water treatment facilities
• sports stadiums

everything is built by us and used by us - rich people have their own doctors, live on their own compounds, hire their own chefs, and transport themselves mostly by private jets, etc. - they don’t wait in line for TSA, they don’t cook their own meals, they don’t drive places, etc.

on the flip side, you also start to realize how wealth and power has influenced the creation of the society you live in, like how US colonial food culture was influenced by major agricultural trusts, how drinking at bars became one of the only “third places”, or how US cities were destroyed by parking requirements under the influence of the auto industry
