Tbh i was not aware that Ireland was ever in love with Joe Biden?

Why else would smutty fanart/fanfic exist? 😏

Aren’t studies like this part of how to solve homelessness, though? Like this method helps around 16%, then other methods can be used to help people who need more resources.

Part of the frustration with dealing with homelessness is that it’s so difficult to help the most visibly homeless, so people think the programs aren’t working or are lining people’s pockets.

Our preregistered screening criteria were: age 19 to 65, homeless for less than 2 y (homelessness defined as the lack of stable housing), Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and nonsevere levels of substance use (DAST-10) (21), alcohol use (AUDIT) (22), and mental health symptoms Colorado Symptom Index (CSI) (23) based on predefined thresholds (see SI Appendix, Table S1 in SI Appendix, section 1.3.2). These screening criteria were used to reduce any potential risks of harm (e.g., overdose) from the cash transfer.

Kind of speaks to how bad homelessness has become that you can have pretty strict criteria and still have a ton of people who need the help.

Some broad answers:

1. Fee is higher than people are willing to pay
2. People don’t trust the experts
3. The experts don’t exist yet
4. People have no idea how to find the experts

I’ve got several ikea glass water bottles because i tend to forget where they are. They’re pretty simply made (glass bottle, plastic cap, silicone ring) and therefore easy to clean.

They’ve held up well for a few months now.

No, because documentation should be more like a dictionary than a novel - it’s written to convey info quickly and accurately, not interestingly. 😆

Next time no need to add on apologetic stuff at the end of your post. People will engage with your post or not, it’s the Internet, it’s fine

Maybe they’re preserving the option to try again with a new restaurant?

2 that i return to their designated space after using. I think there’s a third hiding somewhere

Everyone is part of the server they signed up with. Federation allows everyone to see each other’s posts, filtered through your own server.

If another server defederates yours, their users essentially can’t see your (new) comments/posts. But you can see most of theirs.

It is not necessarily a 2 way street. Continuing the example, your server can choose whether or not to defederate back. If it does defederate, you’ll no longer see any new comments/posts from the other server.

A much better, longer post about this can be seen here.

And another one here

Sometimes i need to hand info to someone, or paper is just nearby, or i need to draw a diagram.

I do have an ipad, but if you are brainstorming with other people, they don’t always know how to use it/touch the wrong thing.

All other notes are digital, because i am bad at keeping track of pieces of paper.

Sounds like something medical? Like depression or sleep apnea as someone else mentioned. It’s hard to enjoy life when you don’t have the energy to engage with it.

Please see a doctor!

Yes, once a year or so. I’ve gotten a lot of value out of it and i like the idea of paying it forward for people who aren’t in a position to donate

It’s the name. PP and abortions are tied together in the minds of conservative voters, whether or not that particular branch provides abortion services. Texas legislature wants to burn down PP at all costs.

But then, Texas did something no other state had tried yet: It walked away from about $30 million in annual federal funds rather than allow Planned Parenthood to continue to provide contraception to low-income women. In 2013, Texas launched its own women’s health program, relying entirely on state dollars.

Texas’ reproductive health care landscape never recovered from this tornado, even when the state tried to make up the lost funding in future sessions.

Usually about 20min? I set a sleep timer on podcasts for 30 min and i usually don’t hear it stop.

When i can’t fall asleep quickly, it’s maybe an hour? Eventually sleep happens.

Is my favorite season 🎃

People here have given you good pasta sauce recipes here, let me recommend ramen. I’ve found it at dollar stores and most grocery stores, it’s shelf stable, and pretty versatile. Can add egg and/or almost any frozen produce you can find.

I’m watching this thread with great interest 👀

For the US, maybe Dolly Parton?

Instances can defederate whenever they want, but skimming the sidebar and announcements, it’s weirder to me that lemmy.world is still federated with lemmygrad, which seems to be very similar to hexbear.

Anyone have any insight into the difference between lemmygrad and hexbear?

I don’t think it needs to be overcome, just applied differently. A more global “us” vs problems like global warming or poverty would be fantastic.

It’s also a self preservation instinct - sometimes there’s just too much going on and you gotta narrow your focus to the people around you.
