In Australia paramedics are tertiary qualified and very skilled

Brilliant idea for a universal front end. If the user experience is seamless so that the hosting service doesn’t matter that would be such a good way to transition to freer platforms

In a certain way my life is about prepping. I went into the health field because I wanted to have skills useful for society, not just in collapse but right now.

Holy shit wtf I just learnt so much about the US.

The whole situation is the result of Israel’s land theft, apartheid, suffocating blockade on Palestinians in the first place.

Are you keen on methamphetamine? 😆

Never heard of these platforms. Did you work out how they compare? For me the draw of slsk is finding almost anything, including very obscure music, because of its dedicated userbase of filehoarders. Do you think the other platforms could offer that? I always like knowing of alternatives

Yep that’s a long one for sure.

Any recommended reading on this Chinese analysis you’re referring to?

Yeah, there’s definitely professionals in the mix sometimes though.

Also the constant dedication to downvoting seems like the behaviour of someone who is paid to do it. Otherwise why would you do that, normal people would get bored right? I don’t go and actively seek out online communities I disagree with to downvote their posts. That would be such a pathetic way to spend my time

It could be US government actors. They would only need to have a handful of people on the job doing fedposting and they would be very visible on Lemmy compared to other platforms because of the small userbase

Something I’m aware of but try not to think about

Yes it is. You’re just conditioned to think politics is this inconsequential mental game that has no impact on people’s lives.

Atm big on experimental music, electro acoustic improv, onkyokei (somewhat a historically specific term but just this aesthetic generally). At other times I like various electronic and dance musics, classic jungle, UK garage, breakcore (both classic and sewerslvt core), free jazz, yeah. Fair bit

So Spanish is not white but Italian is. And also Lebanese?? How the designers of these questions think they can get any meaningful data whatsoever from these questions is mind boggling.

I have found it really useful for helping resolve interpersonal conflict, such as with partners or friends or so on. Also I think it would be useful to help with internal conflicts as well. Dialectical behavioural therapy is a type of psychotherapy for example that is supposedly very effective for personality vulnerabilities, although this might not be materialist specifically. I’m not knowledgeable on the topic but it’s quite interesting.

Jesus that’s the slogan?? That sounds extremely fascist.

Is it possible to do the well paid job for a while and grind it out to save some money then switch to the lower paid one after a few years?

I don’t know if you’re just being cheeky but this is not a useful approach at all.
