Lemmy has it’s share of trolls, but we also have our share of russian propaganda trying to influence our election. This specific moderator of a very large Lemmy community (LateStageCapitalism) has been posting “democrats are actually the fascists!” memes, while banning/censoring everyone who speaks out in favor of the very people attempting to thwart the literal fascist regime in power right now.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something you've done that improved your quality of life?byjpreston1986@lemmy.world
4 daysRecently went on a date, and after a couple hours in the coffee shop we went for a walk where she started looking for something to eat. She said she doesn’t eat beef or chicken. She’s not vegetarian but she is gluten free and wants thai food but the thai place is closed so let’s walk and visibly confirm there’s no more thai places open and in my head I’m just like “OMFG I forgot how much I hate having to deal with another person while eating/trying to find food.”
The whole time I’m just like, I hope I can leave soon so I can go eat whatever the fuck I want.

4 daysMy parents got me braces for my top set, and they’re super easy to floss, almost never had a problem with them. Had to wear a brace stretcher thing at night that hurt and was awkward, so they took pity on me and got me a retainer for my bottom set, which I lost almost immediately, twice, and then POOF like magic, they stopped giving a shit about fixing my teeth lol
So my bottom set of teeth is a horror show, is super difficult to floss, and gets mad cavities. I shoulda just got both done up by braces at the same time. Kinda weird they didn’t now that I think about it 🤔

4 daysThe realization that how we feel is directly affected by the things we do and food we eat is super frustrating.
Mainly, because I want to eat like shit and do nothing and still feel good and it just doesn’t work.
On the flip side, as someone that’s dealt with long-term chronic depression, it’s nice to know that there are literal activities that can directly counter my shitty mood. Taking a walk, petting a dog, talking with a friend/loved one, sitting in sunshine, exercise, listen to music… etc. etc.
It’s kind of like half the pharmaceutical industry has sprung up because people would rather take a pill and feel a bit better, than engage in any sort of healthy eating/exercise to feel actually better.



If you look “foreign” (i.e. brown skin), the secret police will kidnap you, shoot your dog, and then falsify paperwork to get you deported to a country you’ve never been in.
This is one of the darkest times in our nations history.
