I feel like the beginning was a little too complicated and didnt have the best UX but I really loved the more multimedia way of presenting all the details together, with audio, video, textual information, and data visualization all brought together
Well thats sickening
Jesus Christ. Thank you for the context, I completely missed rhat
Someone used Nintendo IP to advertise fascism?
Wait there are claims he killed children after sexually abusing them?? Can you provide more info? I hadn’t heard anything to that effect. Thanks
This is super cool! I’m not afab so I can’t help test and my question may be ignorant but I’m curious why one would want this functionality to not be something native and benefits from being hosted at all?
There are some f-droid trackers that look nice (I keep seeing one there with a super pretty ui) but I’m not sure what the tradeoffs of just using a native application for something like this might be
Debate has never been an effective method of challenging Nazi ideology but in some cases (undeserved) compassion can be effective in moving people towards deradicalization
That being said, your first and foremost responsibility is to protecting the vulnerable. If you are in a position to help someone deradicalize in their personal life that is good, but it is morally wrong to allow people to be subjected to their ideology (both its violence and rhetoric) and inadequately protect those people, or simply challenge their ideas verbally dragging vulnerable folks through exposure to hate and dehumanization
I think its also important to remember that while deradicalization is a good thing, it is unbelievably emotionally laborious and never a guarantee, and can only ever work at an individual scale. I don’t think you could just “hugs and kindness” your way out of the Nazi regime. It is not a meaningful way to solve the larger problem
I haven’t had a job for several years :(
I went through a mental health episode in highschool and had to do a lot of growing and changing internally, but never really figured out how to be an independently functionally person. This is the last major milestone but the years keep dragging on and I still seem to be stuck. I’m at least happy to be in therapy again as of recently
I kinda hate where I am, its just comfortable- I’m kinda terrified years will pass and I’ll still be stuck in the same place, like I was years previous.
I think it can be scary, depending on what staying the same looks like
He’s not running for reelection so he’s kinda free to do whatever he likes until he’s replaced. I’m from NC and I don’t like or respect the man but I appreciate that at least when nothing is on the line he’ll speak truth to power. He has been very critical of trump if I remember right
As someone who struggles to manage mental illness, yeah people have become really knee jerk opposed to lifestyle change approaches to managing mental health. The research is really unambiguous. In DBT they teach you to exercise as part of the PLEASE skill for attending to your physical wellbeing, because its hard to be mentally alright if you feel like crap physically
Moving won’t fix your mental health, but your mental health is unlikely to improve if you dont go physically move, its a really important part of taking care of your body
That being said, how you deliver a message has a huge bearing on whether its receieved, and the reason your message is one people are guarded against is because people constantly talk down to mentally ill folks and tell them how to “solve” their issues from a place of presumption. As a part of that, people frequently present exercise as a cure, and as someone who exercises every day it very much is not. Empathizing with that is worthwhile, as invalidating people also promotes poor mental health outcomes :)
I definitely agree with asking questions first. I’ve tried to open by explaining how I see things in an effort to get folks to open up and share how they see them, and people are so used to that being an attempt to tell them to think something different they can kinda shut down and get defensive even just from that
Try to get them talking and engage with them sincerely. If we want to fix the problems we have to do the work to build a bigger coalition
The agency has since apologized and says it’s trying to fix the problem.
Something about “says it’s trying to fix the problem” is really funny to me 😭
I swear to god if anyone breaks party lines on this…
This feels like a profoundly make or break moment for compete fascist control of the government
