Is it just me or we all seeing nothing but political panic during the day, and just absolute nonsense banger memes at night around 3am?

Massively depends on your timezone.

Also block anything politics relates as those are just rage bait and tribalism.

You have been reported to the DNC, this incident will be added to your permanent record.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Well, as someone who doesn't know what DNC is, they can go fuck themselves

Stands for Do Nothing Congress.

It's the Democratic National Comittee, in case you're curious.

The US day tends to have more politics because the US politics posts get bigger.

That is an absolute cluster fuck of a problem.

How can an every day person help?

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.cafe 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That’s kind of you.

There’s not much unfortunately. If you have a couple bucks free you could donate to one of the better labs. Ie. this excellent genetics team. But I realise that isn’t feasible for most people.

Otherwise just maybe reading a short article about how politically marginalised the illness is could be helpful. In having more people β€œwoke” on this issue. This article by Monbiot is short and works quite well.

You're a certified genius for having that as your username, what a very low effort high visibility move. 10/10

I'll look into it and do what my budget can afford, thanks for sharing

Causes, unknown, very specific ages for acceleration, very odd
