This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone with an understanding of religion. Monotheism has always used othering of people not within the clique to insulate followers.

Not only are other people’s beliefs OBJECTIVELY wrong due to everything my God says being true but you’re also commiting sins against the true God for rejecting him.

Unnamed Feeling by Metallica always resonated on the alexithymia angle.

Honestly St. anger has quite a few that I think resonate well, Invisible Kid for obvious reasons. Frantic for meltdowns. My World for masking.

Also the fact that so many people hate that album triggers my contrarian energy to say that it’s my favorite. People’s expectations of what Metallica should be is why that album was hated.

Metallica catches a lot of flak for being the most commercially successful metal band but when they did something entirely from the gut, folks threw a tantrum. Something about being told to be authentic only to get immediately shat on feels like a pretty quintessential autism experience.

Autocorrect only works when you use the enter or spacebar. Sending a one word message is just asking for it

I was referring to the child.

Children don’t get to pick their name or their parents.

I was going to make that joke too but given the real victim of the punchline is someone who had no ability to consent or exercise control in the situation it doesn’t feel right.

THE WOKE MOB HAS GONE TOO FAR

This is not true, protests have a measurable impact and the defeatist nonsense of “there’s no point in trying” is exactly what enemies of democracy want.

I asked Mistral why and fed it the document and this is what it said:

WTO Dispute Settlement Process: The document follows the format and procedures of the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU), which is the multilateral process for resolving trade disputes between WTO members. It does not reference USMCA or NAFTA because these are bilateral or regional trade agreements, while the WTO is a multilateral organization with a different legal framework.

GATT 1994 and Other WTO Agreements: Canada bases its complaint on the United States’ obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) and other WTO agreements, such as the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA). These are the relevant legal provisions under the WTO framework.

USMCA/NAFTA as Parallel Paths: While USMCA and NAFTA provide additional avenues for dispute settlement between the United States and Canada, they are not the primary focus in this specific context. Canada is following the WTO process here, which is a separate and parallel pathway to resolve the dispute.

No Explicit Reference Required: There is no explicit requirement in the WTO dispute settlement process to reference USMCA or NAFTA. The process allows parties to rely on their WTO obligations, as Canada has done in this case.

I figured it was related to jurisdiction but still thought it would be relevant regardless.

I saw this meme and I was wondering given Lemmy demographics how it was so highly upvoted… Turns out it’s just the funny birds lol

A meme on the dread of finding a dress you like then searching it for pockets becoming increasingly desperate before disappointedly putting it back might not have done so well.

I’m not on Matrix but it appears there are 18 people on the server.

Friendica has an address of a grocery store outside of Toronto that she supposedly works at.

Would be funny to call and ask for her.

I have favorite colours and types of music and YT channels but if someone asks me what my favourite food is, the answer is either: FREE FOOD or I dunno.

Excitement is a weird one for me too. Sometimes I feel like a lot of my ‘excitement’ is just an act so other people think I’m excited.

Just got it an hour or so ago.

Can someone explain the con?
