    what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god?

    Jump

  • Not strictly about boundaries, but I think you'd like the Evolving Self by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. It goes a lot into how to consider your priorities in life and what you want to spend your time on

  • Men who feel like fully functional people, how did you get there?

  • You're welcome!

  • On the fulfilling community aspect, I found that at my Unitarian Universalist (UU) church. UU's don't believe in a shared religious text, instead they have a core set of shared values. My church has people who identify as atheist, Christian, several types of pagan, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, etc. We celebrate religious holidays from all of them as well as secular holidays like Trans Day of Visibility and Earth day. The focus is on being together and trying to make the world a better place. I also really like the music program. There's a handy website to find a congregation near you, many stream services on Zoom so you can test them out before going in person.

  • If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?

    Jump

  • Agreed. There's plenty of suffering that happens in life just because. Purposeful suffering doesn't seem like a good thing in most cases.

    But there's also the issue of the definition of suffering. Minor suffering like tolerating a colder thermostat setting in the winter, it saves money and energy, seems rather subjective on where the line could be drawn on bad vs good.

  • anyone have personal experience with industrial tourism?

    Jump

  • Check out your local recycling center, they often do tours!

  • Why do so many conservatives in the US bash on California all the time?

    Jump

  • YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

    Jump

  • There is a board game! There's also a virtual version of Mapmaker on Board Game Arena

    It is quite fun despite the depressing context.

  • How can we make the Fediverse more positive and wholesome?

    Jump

  • There's two subreddits I really miss: AskScience and AskHistorians. I was a regular and flaired contributor to AskScience, but its super helpful to generate a response when there's a good question. It would feel weird opining on a random science topic that I come up with. And I loved the well sourced AskHistorians posts. When I do see a c/AskHistorian post on Lemmy the responses are very low effort

  • YSK Doctors of Osteopathy in the US seldom practice Osteopathy

    Jump

  • The main bottleneck in training new doctors (both MD and DO) is that federal funding for medical residency slots have remained mostly unchanged since 1996. Some hospitals have been able to pay for extra slots out of their clinical revenues, but they'll be facing more financial pressures because of the Big Beautiful Bill.

  • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • The majority of US federal agriculture subsidies go to corn production, the majority of corn production is for live stock feed. Anybody who brings up spending that money on vegetables or basically anything other than corn gets silenced pretty quick

  • YSK: if you are visiting Puerto Rico from the mainland US, you can sign up to escort a rescue animal on your return flight to their adopter

    Jump

  • We have an 11 year old rescue pup from Puerto Rico, he's a really good boy. They kind of have their own breed going on on the island. We DNA tested him and he's about 1/3 Chihuahua, 1/3 "super mut", and then like small portions of a dozen other breeds. He loves laying outside all day on the hottest days of the year.

  • I need to buy a fridge+freezer soon, what should I look out for?

    Jump

  • If you're interested in energy efficiency, here's a great video from Technology Connections!

    Yes the headline is about chest freezers, but he just uses that as an example of highest possible efficiency before getting into other design of fridge/freezers

  • Propublica is an excellent nonprofit investigative journalism organization. They have a strong track record of holding powerful companies accountable and achieving real world results/consequences. They often partner with local news organizations to help give them good content and there's never a paywall either.

  • What's wrong with these birch trees?

    Jump

  • Agreed, birch leaves are serrated, these look like beeches

  • What's a fun, cheap, solo workout someone can do at home?

    Jump

  • I really like the Yoga with Adrienne YouTube channel. She has a large variety of yoga and strengthening exercises from super low impact to intense workouts.

  • Why am I seeing political ads for Donald Trump in April of the year of his second inauguration?

    Jump

  • This is why. Republicans in Congress are planning to take "at least" $880 Billion over ten years out of Medicare and Medicaid to pay for extending tax cuts for the wealthy. There are also ads in the opposite direction raising alarm about this. They say they'll make the cuts without reducing benefits, and by that they generally mean they're going to pay doctors even less for caring for those patients.

    The Coalition to Strengthen Healthcare has some resources to facilitate grass roots advocacy if you're interested!
