2000s had pop punk!

Idk I feel like moderates punch both left and right lol. The extremists on both sides are annoying.

I just switched to another account, hah. Thanks for the info!

I'm the same way. The idea of some part of me living on and ending up who knows where freaks me out. (The same way I'd be, while extremely grateful, also weirded out having a transplant and knowing some dead person's inside me). And I guess I'd like to know with certainty I will be safe and AT REST in some place. Yes I understand that all of this is irrational. But no matter how many times I read these debates, I can't seem to let go and make it feel okay. Like you, I'm not religious.

So yeah I get that I sound cuckoo, the same way I think religions sound cuckoo. I guess this means I'm spiritual in a way, or just agnostic. Because if I was truly atheist, none of this would matter and I wouldn't care.

Also I like to think it's somehow related to me being a bit of a pack-rat (maybe not a hoarder, but definitely a pack-rat). I tend to ascribe feeling to objects and get attached and then can't throw stuff out. Lol.

That being said – I'd be all for it if my organs were given to a loved one. 100% no qualms about it.

Freecampsites.net to look up free camping spots in the area. It's based on user submissions and reviews. Very handy for planning road trips. There may be some inaccuracies if you take a chance on a location that doesn't have many reviews or none that are recent, so keep that in mind.

Shouldn't they have been closed anyway on account of the hurricane?? Lol. People aren't supposed to be traveling

This echos for healthcare workers and social services too. You can't imagine the physical and verbal abuse. Especially if you work in the ED. Where I work, we have self-defense and workplace violence training every year. Statistics say something like 30-60% have been assaulted before (a very easy Google). There's so much more that goes un-reported.

And yeah, sometimes it's the legitimate agitated patient with altered mental status, but more than often it's just shitty entitled people who would normally go to jail, except they do it in the hospital setting and it gets swept under the rug. Because management sucks, and police sucks.

Don't you just love the connections you find once you start digging?😋

Thanks for pointing that out! High quality content takes time to craft. It's being skilled and/or knowledgable, being able to convey that across on a digital platform (where basically everyone's anonymous and of unknown backgrounds), and being engaging while you're at it. It definitely can be demanding for some.

Ah, whoosh on my part. I didn't want to assume anybody's background or understanding!😅😆

Etymology is for word origins😊 But if you like bugs, you're looking for entomology! There seems to be a cool community over here: !entomology@mander.xyz

Love Mad Men. Now that was a beautiful pitch. Jon Hamm killed it!

From Greek etumos "true, real" + -logia "study of" 🤗

Yay! I started a community over on Squabbles for a bit, and it was primarily another mod and I posting content. Unfortunately they went MIA, so I've been bummed out about that because they were pretty active lol. Tried to find an etymology community on Lemmy, so I joined the Kbin one, after which I realized it was a bit dead and there was no one running it. So here we are. :)

Awesome!😁

Ah! I should've explained that. Johannes Hofer, who coined the term, basically translated German heimweh ("homesickness," home + woe) into Latin nostalgia.

I'd say focus on sharing etymology findings for now. I'm not some linguistics professor or anything – just an amateur who created this community for fun. Maybe we could sustain more question posts once there are enough knowledgable subscribers to answer them. (I'm hoping some experts would discover the community actually, and maybe hop on as mods). :)

Edit: I just updated the community rules so clarify that question posts are allowed, as long as you please attempt to at least Google it yourself first. 😆

And on the main highway like they did! Not even on the bus tour. Very cool.
