celeste@kbin.earthto politics @lemmy.world•Former President Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer401·18 hours agoI have a relative with the same cancer so it’s going to be rough hearing people celebrate the pain he’s in. probably should just avoid comments for a bit.
celeste@kbin.earthto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Woman divorces husband after ChatGPT reads his coffee grounds and predicts affair79·4 days agoChatgpt is awful for people who have delusions.
celeste@kbin.earthto politics @lemmy.world•Ex-staffer raises alarm that 'clown' Laura Loomer is bypassing Trump's chief of staff27·8 days agolots of reasons - early indoctrination, for one. but there are also benefits for women like this.
women who buy in are given a lot of power - over other women, minorities, children. they’re also told that they’ll be protected from the harm they see happening to other women (that they and the men in their lives participate in creating). i recall a recovering white supremacist woman who believed the white men around her wanted to protect good white women and girls until she was at an event and witnessed a bunch of guys raping a girl. she understood the lie, then.
so, for the same reason as the men. fear and control. and for public figures like this, money and power. women are as painfully human as men are, so over the years i’ve come to accept that the only reason more women aren’t shitheads politically in the way conservative men are is because the harm from being a shithead hits them in more direct ways, like not being able to get appropriate healthcare.
anyway, that’s my rambling answer.
celeste@kbin.earthto politics @lemmy.world•'Lie and cheat!' Trump rants furiously after MSNBC host calls him 'illiterate clown'17·10 days agoWhen I first read this I thought “lie and cheat” was trump giving advice or like his motto or something
celeste@kbin.earthto politics @lemmy.world•Irish woman detained by US immigration released after 17 days in custody25·11 days agoTrump won the 2024 election on the promise of “the largest deportation operation in American history”, but few anticipated a crackdown on documented immigrants, including visa and green card holders and citizens who have the status by birth or naturalisation, or tourists.
Plenty of people anticipated this. Who’s easier to deport when you want to get rid of a big number quickly? Someone living under the radar? Or someone who’s right on file and complies with orders to come in? And if there’s no due process, you can say they committed any crime you want to justify it. It’s not like morality or honesty would stop anyone involved in the process.
I’m not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.
This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I’d see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it’s relevant to my uncle’s illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there’s no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I’ll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.
It’s none of my business what you post.
