If Americans had access to Chinese EVs and had more affordable EV options it would be better. Their range is great now days. They can get up to 350 range depending on the car now. Comparible to gas cars. I think local governments should install charging stations as well to recieve some of the profits and to keep it affordable / voted on instead of it all being privatized again as we KNOW ALL COMPANIES EVENTUALLY JACK UP COST no matter what the product. America never learns.

People need to plan en mass if they want to scare these psychopathic billionaires properly. Took 30k Dubliners burning down the British embassy to drive out the British in Ireland.

In the United States even the most well meaning dads still act like their typical parental duties are 'babysitting' that deserve some kind of praise. Its... Something...

Dual citizenship raised in the United States here. You all NEED to press your leadership to tax the wealthy NOW! Its not too late for Canada. America is screwed but Canada has a chance. Please please you all need to run for offices, push for change. Nobody will come to save you. You have to save yourselves.

Also, wanted to add stuff like Niagara App for clean tech and Finch which is a cute wellness app that can help build positive habits and it's super adorable. Maybe it will help? Just some ideas to throw out there that have worked for me.

Taking breaks away from technology. Camping? When you are able to - sit with your thoughts and accept them instead of fighting against them. The more we avoid and deny ourselves the ability to feel we end up oppressing and disassociating. You are worthy of love and you are allowed to feel anger and sadness as well. It's normal. Especially lately. Humans have gone through collective trauma for years now, not even counting COVID, and that was a huge one too. It's normal to feel like shit sometimes. Lean on the local community more than ever before. View your local community as a tribe, it helps after natural disasters. There is collective healing that needs to be done.

Also, this breathing technique daily for a few weeks even outside of stressful situations: "Box breathing is a deep breathing technique that involves inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding again, each for a count of four seconds. It helps reduce stress, improve focus, and calm the nervous system, making it useful in high-pressure situations."

This is giving fallout vibes. Hopefully Fallout wasn't a documentary.

I am a millennial mom to a gen Z teenager and have noticed this as well actually. I wasn't sure if it was just that my kids friends are weird or what lol. I said hello and they stare with a small "hey" or don't say anything back while avoiding eye contact?? Lol... Like I am your friends mom? You should probably at least take a "hello"???

Edit: Now that I am reading these comments as a therapist it actually sounds like trauma? The zoning out and being lost in thought happens with chronic trauma victims. It sounds like disassociating from growing up with COVID and other systemically traumatic environments during crucial development periods. Sad

Men being triggered by this is so cringe. Ew.

The sad reality is that women have to worry about being attacked... Not all men are creepy but men need to also hold the shitty men accountable too. The "would you rather be in the woods with a bear or a random man" question broke the internet because it was a strong argument and made a lot of men think about who even they feel comfortable with if alone in the woods.... Most men said the bear, too... Idk many men who are deathly afraid of women and this isnt me saying that men havent been raped, abused, attacked. No human should have to experience ANY intimate violence. The risks are just less statistically. Its not weird to try and mitigate violence on any app...

..... Do you also have to walk down the street at night and worry about being raped or grabbed? If so, do you worry about men or women being the primary perpetrator??

epicthundercat @lemmy.world 2mo ago

I understand the frustration but people are actually trying here. Genuinely. The media isn't covering it. Socialists are winning elections en mass for the first time in American history. People regret. People are angry. People are scared. I never voted for the Orange turd THANK GOODNESS and I was dreading him both times but people are legit waking up.... Sucks it had to get this bad but this chapter in history will eventually be over, too..... It's terrifying, tho.
