Everyone's getting blepharoplasties lately. Her lips are looking like Kylie Jenner's now, too (nerve damage leaving one side higher than the other)

I agree with the others to have a bunch of hobbies to pick from. For the record I have been on stims daily, but now I use a non-stim with an occasional boost from a mild stim.

• I like gaming because there is always a new game to try.
• I like sewing because I often need to repair something and occasionally I think of something that I can't buy in a store.
• I like gardening because I like cooking, and it's fun to have fresh ingredients that I grew myself.
• Some people like learning an instrument because there are always new songs and styles to try

Ultimately, what my ADHD brain craves is novelty, and I can only really get that from a variety in my activities.

I think you mean Jainism? It isn't Hindu.

They also have a very strict vegetarian diet, they won't even eat root vegetables so burrowing insects aren't disturbes

I feel like Spotify's recommendations have seriously gone downhill in the last two or three years. Most of the new music I actually like I've found in music comms on Lemmy

I'm not here to downplay those problems in China. They are serious. But, that's not the government saying they don't care about children, it's saying that they have their own racist and bigoted political problems.

And, if you've paid any attention, the US is doing really similar things and has been for a long time. We made some progress with the Civil rights movement, but we still have Black people arrested at 2x the rate of white, 37% of the prison pop is Black while they only represent 13% of the general pop. The education system has all but erased the cultural roots of Black Americans, and God forbid a Black teen uses slang to communicate. Most of the sectioning off of voting areas in the US is to minimize their and other minority's voting power. For now it's still legal to say "Hey this influencer really made life bad for me, and I'm okay with him being dead", but it may not remain legal for long. EPA regulations are being dissolved, but the biggest problems will affect traditionally/forced Black neighborhoods.

Where are you getting the idea that the government in China doesn't care about their children?

Hey man, you're the one that brought up rules. But while we're talking about international rules, gene editing of embryos and their descendants is legal in the US if it's privately funded. And it's not illegal internationally to do so

Also, I'd be less worried about CRISPR specifically for this use, because it's not always accurate, is limited in what it can actually do, and there are better gene editing tools now

But our side has rules, you assume they play by the rules.

China academia has the same problem that US academia has: publish or perish.

And seriously, you can't say something like that and ignore all the BS the US government has been pulling internationally for decades. Trump murdered 14 random people on boats that weren't even in US territory, and seemingly no one on the international stage gives a shit

They do not contradict each other. I'm certain there will be more stops as the city grows, because they keep improving it. I used to live in a city, in another state, with one of the best public transportation systems in the country, and they also kept improving that system to include the surrounding cities in other counties. Just because something isn't perfect already does not mean we can't take it seriously and strive for perfection

It's a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.

I think I feel bad when I read articles like the ones you posted, before this I'd cross the distances and not think much of it because my last two cities didn't have public transportation. Now I can't cross fast enough to beat the crossing light, and it's so incredibly unsafe if I fall. I feel like the problem, I guess
