ParabolicMotion , to Ask Lemmy in What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?

I can make my left scapula pop/click by moving my scapulas closer together. I read on a medical website that it’s actually an ailment that can be remedied by surgery. I don’t really want surgery. I’m right handed, so it doesn’t affect me too much. Apparently, I’m the only one in my family with this issue and it’s supposedly a genetic issue.

ParabolicMotion , to Ask Lemmy in How do you recover from seeing something awful on the Internet?

I once saw a car accident on a freeway that involved burning bodies within the cab of the vehicle. Nothing I’ve seen online compares to that. Maybe I’ve just avoided the worst of the worst online, but nothing has been that graphic.

ParabolicMotion , to Ask Lemmy in In retrospect, what moment from your childhood (before age 13) do you feel you handled maturely?

I can’t post about it without the usual crowd stalking my account to downvote me, or urging the mods to remove it all, so they can help conceal child abuse. If anyone cares, it involved an eight year old me, being forced to help dig a hole and bury an older female relative to help conceal a murder. A local gang wants to prevent me from snitching, because other women started using her identity, since there wasn’t a death certificate. Having law enforcement dig her up would ruin their comfortable lifestyles, since they have used her identity to make money. Another group financially benefited when they married one of those women. Unearthing the body and having it identified would put a lot of people in their 40’s in jail over fraud that is connected to the case. So, I’m supposed to shut up about it.

ParabolicMotion , to World News in ‘They call us Nazis’: inside the wealthy German town where the far right is on the rise

As someone who is white, but 0% German, I wonder how things would be if I traveled to Germany and spent some time living in that country. I read another article on Lemmy that said Germans were in a bar, chanting “Germany for the Germans. Foreigners out.” I’ve been called “Nazi” plenty of times on Lemmy because people have disagreed with my views on things like the war in Gaza. I wonder if Germans would think I was just another German there, or if they’d want me to leave.

So they adorned Hitler mustaches, as the article claims, but chanted “foreigners out” and “Germany for the Germans?” That doesn’t make sense when you really think about it. Hitler was a foreigner from Austria.

ParabolicMotion , to World News in "That is madness": Pope Francis condemns Texas migrant crackdown, rejects "conservative" Catholicism

Hey, look an unhinged Lemmy reader who is taking his anger out on me for having an opinion. If you treat people like this when you aren’t hiding behind a screen, I hope someone uses screenshots of your responses to help you find the anger management you seem to need.

I happen to know quite a bit about asylum seeking. I have sought asylum in Ireland in the past. Doing so required a passport. It also requires being fingerprinted because you ARE technically breaking the law. You’re required to overstay your passport limits while the application is being processed. I am guessing you have never applied for asylum in a foreign country.

When Americans are upset over UNDOCUMENTED migrants, they are referring to people who are crossing the border illegally, without a passport. Entering the United States as a non-citizen, without a passport IS a crime.

My apologies for making a typo, but if that typo bothers you, how are you going to handle a group of migrants who can’t write the English language? You don’t seem like a patient and understanding person. I hope these migrants aren’t forced to take up residence near you.

No, that isn’t my solution. I never said they would be shipped. They aren’t being shipped to America. They have seen an opportunity and have migrated here themselves. If Italy offered an opportunity, then they would probably migrate there, as well. They wouldn’t dare stow away on a boat to mainland China and demand that their country care for them, and provide for them. Many countries have laws against illegal immigration. America does, too, but no one respects the laws in America. Everyone picks and chooses which laws they want to demand be enforced and they want herd immunity for the ones they break. Migrants could cross the border with a passport and ask for asylum. That wouldn’t be illegal immigration.

So when the Red Cross creates shelters for hurricane victims in the Southern and Eastern States, do you call them traffickers, and fascists? Sometimes people deserve to have a safer option on where they live.

Also, cussing out an internet stranger and calling her a fascist makes you look unstable.

ParabolicMotion , to World News in Mexico: Heat wave kills several people, hotter days ahead

No, I think I understood you very well. There is a lot of sexism in Mexico, and you’re suggesting the women stayed covered for that reason, am I right? Is there another reason you aren’t being direct with what you implied in your previous comment? If so, feel free to be direct.

ParabolicMotion , to World News in Mexico: Heat wave kills several people, hotter days ahead

Oh, if that’s what you think, I wish you could live every single one of my past experiences . There are news articles about women’s rights being tread upon in Mexico. If someone like me is raped by her distant relative, who also happens to be white, the rest of the family will label her up as crazy, take the child and hide it so it can’t be dna tested, and then try to make the mother homeless and jobless for the rest of her life. Yeah, I’m so privileged I’ve been told I can’t have dna taken on my son to prove a distant cousin raped me because both the distant cousin and I are white. Welcome to my privileged life. All I wanted was to add my son to ancestry.com.

Yet I see people wearing long sleeves and long pants in the photos provided by the article, and other similar articles. No offense, but when it has been that hot, in the past, where I live, everyone wears short sleeves and shorts. Some people wear less than that. Most people are already in the local pools.

I’m actually a democrat. I would just like to see solutions presented in political discussion rather than constant criticism. It leads nowhere to just turn the spotlight on those who want to give their criticisms. I want solutions. The same problems from migrants, to Gaza, have been floating around the political toilet bowl for decades and every so often someone famous throws in their two cents and receives a pat on the back for criticizing the way things are. Yes, things are bad. Now less talk, more action. Fix it.

ParabolicMotion , (edited ) to World News in Putin has ‘both eyes’ on Gotland, warns Sweden’s army chief

You know, he always seems to eye all these places that look so peaceful. Can he eye the parts of Mexico that are riddled with violent cartels? Here is how I view it: Everyone wants their own a private toll road in the middle of a scenic tourist destination, no one wants to adopt a busy, littered, highway in the middle of Los Angeles. Let’s see “mother Russia” try to “mother” that fiasco.
