  • What's the closest you ever got to hosting refugees?

    Jump

  • For me, the closest was volunteering at a local non-profit that provides temporary housing to immigrants who are released from the local detention center and may not even know where the hell they are. They bus them in from Texas (we are in Colorado) and detain them here. Casa de Paz is the name of the non-profit in case anyone feels generous. They do amazing work and provide much-needed services and tons of empathy for the people they serve.

  • Anyone know why americans are relatively unconcerned about dying to totally preventable stuff like disease?

    Jump

  • This will make you see red. My nephew cannot get vaccinated for legitimate health reasons. His parents were always pro-vax until it came time for the Covid vaccine. Then they became all “mRNA is a new technology, we don’t have enough research.” We basically stopped talking to them after my husband yelled at his brother (nephew’s dad) that he is risking killing his own son if he gets Covid. So fucking stupid. Yes, they are conservative although they claim not to support Trump.

  • I’m concerned but I don’t know what I can do about that other than make sure my whole family is vaccinated.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    Jump

  • Meditation and mindfulness absolutely have scientifically proven effects.

  • This autism ring I just bought

  • I don't want to enhance my productivity

    Jump

  • I only wanna do it because I work for myself now. When I was a corporate worker, fuck that noise.

  • What's something you enjoy eating that other people think is super weird?

    Jump

  • The fruity flavor is like a side of the finest jelly beans.

  • YSK: There's a protest today at noon at your state capitol.

    Jump

  • This was Colorado. I agree that the timing sucks for people with regular jobs, but we also need to get the attention of our representatives and disrupt the peace.

  • If fleeing a country, what items would have good resale value?

    Jump

  • Printer ink.

    I’m just kidding… listen to all the other smart people in this thread and not me.

  • Why do some people in the USA assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans?

    Jump

  • You’re right, but the rest of his post is pure poetry. I wish I could be eloquent that way.

    Is there anyone who speaks Russian on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Да, намного больше. Я в России не была уже много лет (11?). И друзья все не русские.

  • Да. Но правда я очень редко говорю по-русски и начинаю забывать слова.

  • USA Question | How much is a dozen large eggs near you?

    Jump

  • $7.42 from Walmart, $10.65 for the ones I get (Vital Farms). This is from Colorado, USA.

  • YSK If you live in the US, you may have unclaimed funds held by your state

    Jump

  • I’ve had 18 shares of Morgan Stanley in unclaimed funds for a while. They want the shares certificate to claim it… which doesn’t make sense cause if I still had the certificate, I’d just sell them. But anyway, your post encouraged me to get in touch with MS investor relations just now to see if I can do anything about it. It would be almost $2,500 if it works.

  • FDA Bans Rule Dye 3

    Jump

  • Eventually he did start eating them again, maybe when he was about 8? It didn’t seem to cause the same issues then, but it’s hard to tell because he has severe ADHD, and I didn’t exactly measure his symptoms when in and off the dye. He is 18 now so it’s hard to remember.

  • FDA Bans Rule Dye 3

    Jump

  • A lot of it was obvious, like dessert foods. But some were sneakier. I couldn’t tell you for sure because that was 16 years ago. It was a whole diet called the Feingold diet, and it was pretty restrictive.

    ickplant @lemmy.world

    TIL that the Māori word for autism is "Takiwātanga" meaning "their own time and space." I also learned that it's not without controversy (see inside).
