I’m glad I just ate, otherwise I would have been even more jealous. It looks like perfection and I wish I could eat it.

Forever, probably. This is just another in a long line of Israel’s atrocities since they were created from Britain’s discarded colony in 1948 with the most ridiculous borders decided by the UN

Israel immediately annexed more than half of the Arab territories in that map. The UN, Western Europe and the US just shrugged in response. These days the politicians have to at least mime disapproval because news travels fast, but that’s all they will do. People are just GDP to them.

It has the bonus effect of removing evidence that Judaism was a religion made up of previous culture’s stories and legends. The guy who lost his shit at a statue in a museum was international news, and there will only be more evidence undermining Judaism’s claims to originality and truth buried in coastal areas. The Israeli government has long been stalling any archaeological work in Israel/Palestine, much to the dismay of historians. This makes sure nothing can be identified even long after the current fighting and reinforces the power of the ruling class.

TIL Digit grouping style variances are even more fucked than I anticipated. International Bureau of Weights and Measures along with International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry uses spaces, but different countries use commas or dots and some use spaces and comma OR dot?

Fuck this, we should redo the whole numeric system. Burn it all down and start from scratch.

Currency and numeric formatting works differently by location, it looks consistent and correct for US formatting.

Personally, I think it’s high time for a new global standard on this that abandons the dots and commas altogether, using new symbols so nobody can complain that it’s unfair that only some people have to change. But that’s… very unlikely to ever happen, for no good reason.

For sure. I’d be first in line to complain if I worked there… assuming my mobility impairment didn’t get in the way of that 😅

Chinese company. No idea what disability discrimination laws they have in place, if any.

Thanks, I try. I know what it’s like to have subjective symptoms of something larger and medically very real dismissed by others to the point where more permanent damage is done than was ever necessary. While I don’t wish that experience on anyone, it sadly seems almost a necessary experience for many people in order to be able to engage others with compassion.

I wish there were more empathy, especially in lemmy.world comments. I had hoped better for the fediverse than the current patterns of hostility in social media towards others with different life experiences.

You don’t have to apologise, you haven’t done anything wrong. It is true that since people can experience sudden health issues very young, I was one of them. But if your only evidence for diabetes is that you recently ate a common food that happened to be high in sugar, then there’s no sign at all that this is something you are experiencing. You have no symptoms of diabetes, and blood tests as evidence that you don’t have it. But anxiety is a legitimate health condition too.

You shouldn’t ignore symptoms, which is why you need to look at the symptoms of anxiety that you seem to be experiencing. A panic attack is not something most people regularly experience, and definitely not because they broke their own omad rule with a food that has high sugar levels.

Please, look into deep breathing techniques fir the panic attacks and doctors who specialize in anxiety near you. I wish you all the luck and best, I know how anxiety can paralyze and negatively affect your life. But the good news is that you aren’t powerless to change it.

Friend, I mean this in the nicest possible way, with understanding as someone who has personal experience with both anxiety and insulin issues. I’ve noticed your name on a lot of threads which all demonstrate “catastrophization” and extremely high levels of fear over low risk situations. Levels of fear that are disproportionate. You need to see a doctor about it.

Anxiety isn’t you being crazy or your fault. It could be something as simple as a chemical imbalance. You don’t need to live like this though, it’s exhausting being this afraid all the time and that energy could be far better spent on things that truly improve your life.

Please consider it, I know I’m not the first person to tell you this. Acknowledge the pattern, and talk to a professional. It’s hard but very very worth it.

I’ve only ever seen a volcano once from far away, thankfully while it wasn’t killing people. It blows my mind I can watch one on the other side of the world with only a few seconds delay… I hope everything remains low level and doesn’t cause too much misery for those nearby.

Sure. I just think most people can be less hypocritical in calling it out because we’re not the head of state of a country and top representative for a religion with extensive history of the same acts. I don’t have the power to direct an entire economy’s resources or have the adoring audience of millions globally, but he does. So he ought to be reminded of his own abilities, and the rest of us shouldn’t just let the Vatican forget its own self-declared immoral actions.

He can make geopolitical statements and direct his flock as he pleases, and I will continue to call him out on his bullshit. My position on the core truth of his statement does not alter my position on calling out hypocrisy.

So was harboring the head of the fascist Ustaše in the Vatican and smuggling him out to Argentina using the ratlines after WW2 - and keeping the loot the Ustaše brought with them. So were the Catholic forced conversions conducted by members of the Franciscan Order during WW2. The Pope can hand back the stolen treasure to the owners and release the documents from that period if he wants to make a believable denouncement of religiously motivated atrocities.

Until the Vatican is willing to address its own genocide and make amends, this is just hypocritical hot air and puffery.

While I’m glad the Australian Government had decided to take at least a mild finger-wagging stance of disapproval, blaming this on “settlers” trivialises the situation in an unacceptable way. The Israeli state is perfectly able to keep Jewish extremists from invading the space and forcibly displacing Palestinians, but not only does the state choose not to, but they’re actively participating in the genocide. They’re not “settlers”, the land has been “settled” for longer than written human history. IDF snipers are not some sort of quaint uncoordinated pioneers discovering new land.

I wasn’t previously against Israel’s “right to exist”, but the atrocities the Israeli goveenment are perpetuating are making me take a far stronger stance against ethnostates of all varieties.

Legal advice given to me by an employer treated all citizens as eligible. Their advice tends to err on the side of caution at the best of times, but I have no reason to disagree that it’s at the very least legally contentious even if not yet officially contested.

Tl;dr I wouldn’t want to rely on it in court, whether everyone else is happy to risk that is whatever.

They’re just keeping him locked up

He’s free to move around the country, he hasn’t even been on house arrest since August. Save your concern for the actual locked up people on shitty minor drug possession charges in the US.

Climate change was still a “this will be a big problem and we need to do something about it sooner rather than later” issue instead of “actively experiencing and watching the damage and misery on a near daily basis and knowing it will be getting much much worse” reality.

No amount of Captain Planet telling me to separate my recyclables is going to fix this shit.

Copying and pasting my answer from the same question just 2 weeks ago:

How do you know they all weren’t wearing it?

There are a lot of people who do wear it but continue to smell because of underlying medical conditions. For example, fruity smelling body odor can indicate diabetes. People with a rare genetic condition called Trimethylaminuria can smell strongly of fish. It all depends on what bacteria (which outnumber your own body cells by 10 to 1 even though they are only 2% of your body mass) and what balance of enzymes you may or may not have.

Reducing perspiration can and often does help, concealing the odor with different ones can help, but sometimes people’s bodies just aren’t right for whatever mass produced product they have bought. Sometimes that can be fixed with medication. Sometimes it can’t.

One time I went to this Afghani (Hazaragi) restaurant with friends in another city. Most of us were vegetarian, and they had heard this place had good vegetarian food, so that’s what we ordered.

There was this simple garlic dal that I still think about. It was so perfectly flavored and balanced and seasoned, with a depth of flavour that surprised the hell out of me. I suspect the vegetable stock they used was cooked long and slow for a very long time, but I’ll never know its secrets for sure.

Everything else we ordered was tasty enough, but this was next level. And it wasn’t just me, everyone at the table agreed. And it was just a bowl of lentils! It’s not like we hadn’t had dal before.

They’ve since changed chefs/owners. The closest sounding recipe I’ve found is this one from a thankfully decent UX site (ignore the coconut milk in the url, there is none) but using stock instead of water and probably much less ginger. I still mean to try this recipe but with more fried garlic… perhaps I have underestimated the masala.

I’m also a huge butter chicken fan. Friends laugh at me for ordering the stereotypical foreigner dish, but it’s just too fucking tasty. It has no right to be so good, especially with a fresh naan straight from the tandoor.
