hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•One known dead in Palm Springs car blast that police say was 'intentional act of violence'3·1 month agoHe turned out to be of the “I didn’t ask to be born, so no one else should be” flavor of madman. Rare, but not unheard of.

I got more of it for a day o so and then substantially less. You generally have to be really firm with the Pinterest algorithm about showing the same content repetitively. Not just ads, any content.
I don’t love Pinterest but it’s the least stress visual feed I’ve used.
hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•When kids are evicted, they often lose both home and school2·2 months agoWhy would it be the policy everywhere? School choice rules that like are usually only in small areas like the Delaware. Usually they indicate that there isn’t a large difference in the quality of the schools between the areas. If you tried this in an area that had a urban-rural divide like Pennsylvania or New York, the flow of students into the suburban schools would be very difficult to handle.
hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Gen Z increasingly listens to peers over doctors for health advice171·2 months agoIt’s because your friend spends more 10 minutes listening to you, sees you more often than twice a year, and is truly paying attention to your well being.
If Doctors had time to chat and get to know you, they might gain more trust. Even in countries with funded medical systems, the amount of time a health care provider spends getting to know you personally is way down.
Why would I believe a guy who spent 10 minutes with me barely listening over my buddy who I talk to every day? I’m not saying this is a good thing, but we know what builds trust and it’s not what you get in a healthcare setting.
Homeopathic practices (🤮) have great patient reviews not because they are providing better care, but because their standard appointment length is 45-90 minutes and the patient feels heard and understood in that time.

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every time they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device tells me I'm not a man English43·2 months agoThat would make it a foot measurement, not a shoe size.

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. PlanEnglish6·3 months agoThe reason Nebula and Dropout work is they are making their own content. Since most anime are sourced from the Manga or Light Novel sources, I don’t see an independent streaming company being able to get the rights and $$ to make animated content to stream. Also, animation is both expensive and takes a long time so any independent platform would need 2-4 of funding after making content to be able to survive long enough to make season 2 of anything.

How in the fuck are we supposed to resist ICE with guns?

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•DHS told her to leave the country. She's a citizen — and an immigration attorneyEnglish8·3 months agoAn attorney is not rich, they make more money than average at around $90-120k a year but not enough to hire 2-4 extra professionals to follow them around plus hazard pay.
hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•DHS told her to leave the country. She's a citizen — and an immigration attorney30·3 months agoBecause everyday people totally have the money for armed security guards who are willing to shoot Cops for you? Where does one hire these “trustworthy” people?

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schoolsEnglish71·3 months agoIt was almost the entirety of AM radio for the past 40 years. Sports and this right-wing trash. On in the background at every work place, hardware store, and cafe until Muzac took over. Had that ranting asshole and his friends pumping into our ears wanting it or not. Many areas of the country had only that and Country Music for hours in any direction.
When I said “if you knew what you were doing” I meant you can build an AM receiver out of literal trash with a middle school understanding of electrics but no one bothered because you had one built in to every car, every tape player, boom box, alarm clock, and anything else with a speaker. You had a radio in every room of the house and 2 in the garage even if you never turned it on. There’s no way to believe that phones have less cultural push than AM radio had pre-1990.

If you didn’t like all the research the experts did into the underlying causes, WTF you gonna do differently?
hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schoolsEnglish104·3 months agoRush Limbaugh was broadcast on the free radio, you could listen to it on $1 worth of junk parts if you knew what you were doing. The ease of access is not what made republican bigotry accessible or popular.
Shocked AF that they are on the list at all since they buy their network time from T-Mobile.
