Loving the passion here. Great post.
I really struggle to grow from seeds but I'm good at reviving struggling plants. Need more practice.
You say unscathed but the situation doesn't back that up.
Being generally anxious and stressy isn't a normal state. If you're on highened levels of stress for a long-period of time, it can affect you.
Is there something you're particularly stressed and anxious about. Some unresolved puzzle that won't allow your mind to relax? You seem to aim to distract from rather than accept and address the problem. Mental stress is like juggling balls and the more you have up in the air, the harder it is to deal with and the more your brain is preparing for something coming down.
Do you have ways to decompress / wind down after work?
Exercise still can be stimulating, walking can give you time to think, process and make decisions. Meditation can help to take layers of stress out, but ultimately some talking therapies can help address the problems and tackle them head on.
Sometimes I write shit I need to do down so I can forget it in short term and address it when ready.
This is whatabouttery. I care about Darfur, Myanmar, Tigray, etc. That doesn't take away from what is happening in Palestine.
You have yet to describe why any of those situations are worse than flattening schools, hospitals, collapse of healthcare, full blockade of food, medical supplies, water, people living in camps where disease is rampant.
How is Iran killing a number of civilians worse than killing civilians, starvation, disease, shooting babies in the head?
All your post is doing, is showing bias, and a lack of care about what is happening there. The problems is you cannot persuade someone to care about human suffering, and if you don't, why should I engage with you in a logical debate?
Your problem is, you don't care, and you want people to be fine with you being fine with children being shot in the head. You're on a left-leaning platform where people give a shit about their fellow man. People who give their time to work on open source generally have empathy as a core view.
Post your pro-Israel views on Xitter, or reddit and you'll get the validation you prefer. Its an echo chamber close to yoir political persuasion. You enter a place that think differently and prepare to be challenged. Ultimately, if you want to be an empathetic human being, prepare to be wrong. Can you handle that? Your bio suggests you won't engage if downvoted. I've not down voted you, but I'll tell you you're wrong. I say you're wrong because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and I'm assuming you're not evil.
When the pattern of behaviour gives very clear indication of intent, the denial of this indicates that either you're in favour of it, or don't think it's a bad thing.
When what folk see makes them feel sick to their stomach, such as a child being shot in the head, or families being shot in line for food due to a scarcity created by those making the people line up like animals, it's going to elicit a visceral response. I personally could not fathom how a human being with functioning empathy could be fine with that.
You've already stated you like discussing with people of privilege. That I'm alright, Jack attitude when it comes to life and death is pretty disturbing. What makes us feel is what makes us human.
It seems everyone is the problem but them.
A distinct lack of self-awareness and a huge pile of narcissism.
I don't know. Don't use a VPN for browsing Lemmy.
sh.itjust.works is pretty good. Not as weirdly moderated as Lemmy.world which seems weirdly right wing with very odd moderation decisions.
Though they're the only instance UK folk cannot access.
That's quite vague and speculative. Unless you know a law, it's like saying, in Honduras it could be legally challenging to eat an orange on a Tuesday. I don't know for sure as I'm not a lawyer. As you can see, I just made that up, but unless you know a law, you're just excusing the donation on speculation. I'm in Europe and the speculation sounds like absolute poppycock.
