The phone is clearly mounted on the dashboard.
It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.
This caption could have been pasted over a completely unrelated screenshot of someone else’s video for all we know.
Don’t touch your phone while driving, but also, don’t believe everything you see on social media.
It’s always ‘don’t be a karen and call the cops on illegal fire works’ followed by ‘why the fuck did you not call the cops on the illegal fireworks’ after house fires break out.
I’d like to remind everyone that fireworks are an explosive. Want to know how dangerous fireworks are? Ask ER staff what kind of injuries they see the most on 4th of July.
Too soon for this meme format.
For those who don’t know, the woman petting the fox committed suicide a few days ago. She had ran a fox rescue farm and saved 4000 foxes, many of which were rescued from being bred for fur in inhumane conditions.
She passed away after years of harassment and accusations of abuse for ‘not doing enough’. Redditors were piling on her in a hate sub and that was one of the final nails in the coffin. People criticized her for not hiring more staff to help or expanding her operations.
This was her life’s work. She was autistic, and funneled every bit of dedication into saving as many as she could. She had a special bond with her foxes and a way of speaking to them that brings out their giggles. Not everyone can do that, and with Mikaela’s passing, her foxes will now have to make it through without her.
I too, take it as a personal affront that there are grown adults who are not American.
Of course the 145 police reports don’t count. This is 145 women were talking about.
Girl boring guy quirky.
Funny how often childbirth is brought up to describe how much more painful something else is, usually by people who have never given births themselves.
Truly spoken like someone so privileged with good health they don’t even know what a chronic disability is.
Imagine being this ignorant about chronic pain that you think it’s a product of moral failure. Imagine thinking that doctors treat chronic pain sufferers like anything but drug seekers. Imagine picking up a prescription is so easy you never had to see your pharmacist give you a dirty look or even deny you medications because they think you don’t ‘look like you’re in pain’.
Nothing makes us want to kill ourselves more than hearing the ‘just diet and exercise duh’ people pretend to know what a fraction of being in pain every living second is like.
Never donate at the cash register. It’s a tax deduction scam.
Donate to a real non-profit instead of blood sucking corporations.
What a migraine feels like.
To come out of 4chan a better person, one must transcend humanity.
As someone with a chronic incurable disability, I’m tired of abled bodied people deciding for us which of our experiences count as ‘evidence’ and which do not.
People have this perception of modern medicine as an infallible cure-all that isn’t saddled with systemic discrimination and neglect of women and minorities.
It doesn’t matter how effective a medication is for a certain condition or for off label use. The only thing that matters is that that clinical trials are worth the investment to pharmaceutical companies, and the people most worth investing into are those with money and the privilege of being heard by their doctors.
The rest of us can continue screaming into the void as our symptoms are dismissed and as we are treated like unreliable witnesses to our own bodies. ‘Have you tried yoga?’ ‘You just need to lose weight.’ ‘Abdominal pain? It’s just your period.’ We are treated like we aren’t trying our hardest to live with every symptom. And then when we find something that works, we are told that ‘it’s not covered by insurance’ or ‘there is no evidence that it works’ or ‘it’s just placebo’. It’s like nothing we feel in our body is true and everything we say is treated as a drugseeking lie.
Fuck the cherry picked ‘evidence’. The system is broken and chronically ill people are left to suffer.
Average day of being a woman on Lemmy and feeling excluded and alienated.
Not sure what being sexually attractive has to do with specifically being a woman as opposed to being a man.
I think that severely discounts the internal experiences of what trans people go through and the reasons why they transition.
Fuck all the adults who say this to kids with less privileged childhoods.
Yes. I’m going to cut to the point here.
You are likely conflating the phrase ‘toxic masculinity’ with ‘men’. Toxic masculinity is a systemic problem, not a gender. It’s the cultural norms we grow up with that instill poor notions of what it means to be a man. It’s the widespread shaming and dismissal of men’s mental health. It’s the normalization of anger as the only acceptable emotion for men, making it the only outlet for their grief and pain. It’s the preclusion of men from caretaking roles and the expectation of men being breadwinners, and so much more.
Men are raised by people, and people, men and women alike, in their ignorance, instill outdated ideas of masculinity in their kids uphold the expectations of their peers and elders.
The honest truth is that toxic masculinity is perpetuating an environment of hostility towards showing the need for emotional support and giving fellow men who need it.
Women receive emotional support from other women because they have been socialized to give and receive it without shame.
If you are a man, ask yourself when was the last time you were able to express emotional vulnerability with other men without feeling judged.
This isn’t an issue of ‘value in females’. It’s an issue of valuing men’s emotion vulnerability as a critical part of healthy masculinity.
No legal system is immune to miscarriages of justice. Is it better to imprison real accusers, or falsely accused offenders?
Watch parents in Oklahoma tell their kids to cry wolf every time they meet a trans person.
Don’t let the patriarchy stop you. Assert your dominance and piss anywhere, anytime, even with your pants on.
