looking at the history it looks like in 2020 democrats were trying to push this through but via a state ratification process. keep in mind dems only had congress for two years and there were other things they were trying to get done such as ACA. reading through the history though it seems everytime it is put forward or progress is made toward it, it is being pushed forward by democrats. what are you bitching about now? that biden didnt dictator it in like Trump does? why do types like you only ever bitch about dems and not repubs? how much is putin paying you? or is he just holding your family in front of a window?

i doubt it would have made it past the republican owned Congress that Biden experienced during his tenure. has very little to do with lack of Democrat support. this just smells like anti-Democrat whataboutism to me.

are you talking about something in the 70s? how is that relevant to today?

what do you think white Republicans and project 2025 are doing hunty?

it’s the case even now

there’s some kind of rule where if there headline is a yes/no question, the answer is always “no”.

not disagreeing but want to point out by that definition America is an ethnostate. Which again I’m not disagreeing with.

this is rather dumb considering Israel is more ethnically diverse than any of it’s neighbors

73.2% (about 7,208,000 people) are Jews, including about 503,000 living outside the self-defined borders of the State of Israel in the West Bank 21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) are Israeli citizens classified as Arab, some identifying as Palestinian, and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers “Arab”)[2] An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as “others”. This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christians other than Arabs and Armenians, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.[2][1]

i feel like I’ve never heard anything about substack and then all of a sudden out of nowhere i was hearing about it everywhere. never used it. now that I know it has a nazi/far-right problem, staying away from it by at least 1000 miles

semantics are important when talking about evolutionary science. especially when a large segment of the population dismisses evolution as a “theory” with little understanding of what the term “theory” means in the context of science.

yes 👍

correction on that last sentence. mother’s want to save themselves because they don’t want to die. they are not making any calculations about their own fertility.

this strategy doesn’t prove to be a major evolutionary disadvantage because the mothers are proven to be fertile so there is no evolutionary pressure to remove this trait but that’s an analysis a human scientist is making. not the quokka

that doesn’t explain people who only drink decaf

also come from a religious background and it took me a while to grow out of the shame imposed upon me by religion when it came to porn. looking at porn is fine. my dad who was a pastor thought he also had a “porn addiction” and continues to beat himself up to this day about it. repressing your sexuality is far more unnatural imo.

it can be unhealthy to be constantly watching it to the point where your not doing anything else but that behavior is not surprising if you’ve repressed yourself for incredibly long. after you get it out of your system i find you start to have a natural relationship to porn (i.e. consuming it only sparingly)

just keep in mind real sex is not like porn and most men do not have porn sized penises lol.

millennial who quit all social media except Reddit/Lemmy (now just Lemmy) nearly a decade ago now.

it’s great for my mental health. the only issue is that Facebook decided to take over as being the new Craigslist with Marketplace so I feel like I’m missing out on the best sales of used items because i refuse to make an account and give Zuck my data

how are your parents or your life not “allowing” you to have a job?

it’s all good! i hope you can come to a good resolution on this. i am an american that wishes he lived in some european countries so i get it. lol

of course. everyone has dreams and i cannot force you to do anything. but you came into a mental health community asking for help and advice with unhealthy fixations that are causing you to be deeply depressed and you are getting offended when we give it to you.

which is fine. becoming defensive is a normal response if you are feeling attacked. no one here is attacking you. we are trying to guide you to finding the help you are looking for
