'Immediately stop using': Health Canada warns balloon-blowing kits could cause 'hallucinations'
  • lol these have been around forever. It's essentially some rubbery glue and a little straw. Very common in SEA. My mom used to blow them up for us because I could never do it right.

    Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a *strength* or a *weakness* of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.)
  • Yeah hasn't been helpful for getting a sense for the minds of the masses but generally a lot more grounded than reddit

    Also though echo chambers are bad most of the time for most people, occasionally they help in challenging our own beliefs but only when engaged critically.

    What can we do about healthcare?
  • My only complaint about this response is everyone that says it is all talk.

    If that's the only option and I don't see another headline, there are a lot of people doing absolutely nothing.

  • Lots of focus now around the flaws of the american healthcare system. What can we do now to ensure a better future?

    UHC Shooter Update: He is an Ivy League Tech Bro with Chronic Back Pain
  • Can we stop posting this? Likely fake. It has been circulated as the manifesto, but is roughly 1500 words despite authorities stating the real one is handwritten and 262 words.

    Also if you look at snapshot history, there are only any from today and yesterday.

  • Sure there might be a message to extract and generally I am open to talking about it, but at the moment most people are interested in the type of person this guy is and a fabricated message just doesn't tell us anything.

  • How much were people talking about those issues before all of this? There were whispers, but no concerted dialogue. Now is our chance to have one. Don't waste it.

  • Not necessarily but basing an idealogy in fantasy (as he talks about the emperor being god in gladiator) neglects reality. Anger and whatever sense of righteousness you subscribe to should be based firmly in reality, otherwise you'll find you are acting on nothing but hypotheticals.

  • Can people stop spreading this without verifying the source?

    I am skeptical given we have samples of his writing and that and that this has been circulated as his manifesto. Authorities have stated the manifesto is 262 words, handwritten (likely not copied digitally), and we have a quote from it stating he was working alone. This is in the area of 1500 words, reads like crap, does not include the quote, and does not account for the means of his family.

  • Doubt. Doesn't include any of the statements authorities have quoted. They also mentioned the handwritten manifesto was 262 words.

    Even if this isn't the manifesto, his family had money, this reads like it was written by a high schooler, and it was posted yesterday.

    real one was just posted https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manifesto
