News@lemmy.world•Senate unanimously passes Tuberville resolution for ‘National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk’
3·5 months agoTo be more specific this is a Simple Resolution, definition here: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/common/briefing/leg_laws_acts.htm
I also recommend a plugin for going around paywalls like RemovePaywalls.com on Firefox desktop/mobile.
Point being, this is like making a single day of mourning for the Senate not for the nation.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)
4·6 months agoDon’t get too caught up in nuance and small strains of academic philosophy here. The difference is clear:
Egalitarianism is a philosophy that asserts equality among all people. An egalitarian holds the belief or principle that all people are equal and should be treated equally.
Feminism is a social movement born out of the pervasive and systematic disenfranchisement, oppression and abuse of women, which holds to an egalitarian philosophy of equal rights between men and women. A feminist is an advocate for the equal rights of women.
One is an abstract idea that influences modern humanism, liberalism and democracy. The other is a struggle to make that ideal a reality, that has a different face in every different time and place that it’s happening. Both are virtuous.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Please help resolve a disagreement in our home
4·1 year agoYeah, we have this drawer. There are always going to be some tools you use in the kitchen enough to justify the purchase but not enough to be in any of the daily driver drawers. Honestly, this is not bad, we have a drawer that is the awkward necessary crap drawer for the awkward necessary crap drawer.

Shitty Food Porn@lemmy.ca•My friend was served this at a Mexican restaurant in Virginia
2·1 year agoYou don’t understand! It’s so hard to find good Mexican food, at all, on most of the east coast! Just moved away from Maryland.
Now make one with an elephant in the middle to put next to this one. It will be equally trite.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some adulting life hacks that you think others could benefit by learning about them?
2·1 year agoOh yeah and a chiropractor will not resolve issues like this. Find a physical therapist that works with athletes and kinetic mobility/recovery stuff. Most PTs work with old people, post op, or chemo patients and are too gentle/slow in their approach to younger folks who need to retain their bodies.

2·1 year agoCore strengthening can help with back pain, but in this case it’s different. Walking on soft or variable surfaces causes less impact pain to sensitive nerves. People with poor flexibility or damaged discs in their back feel more pain from walking on hard, flat surfaces. The quality of shoe support / insoles can help with this too. If you have back pain when you walk, you start to compensate for it with an uneven gait, turning your pelvis inward or outward or tightening your hips. Over time this will cause tight muscles that will pull your spine out of alignment and exacerbate pain. Uneven terrain will force a break in these habits and encourage mobility and stretching in tight hips, hams and back muscles. This can be improved off a trail by doing mobility exercises like 3d lunge matrix, kinetic hip flexor and hamstring stretches. I would add that while you can prevent most back pain by doing core strengthening, wearing supportive footwear and doing these kinds of flexibility/mobility practices, it is always better for your body to have variability in how it exerts itself, than doing the same exercises over and over. Hiking is great for this because the terrain and the way you tackle it changes a lot each time you hike.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
2·1 year agoOP dweller here!
I will add that indeed these suburbs are designed for driving, even if there are good sidewalks and parks everywhere. Where I am at, everything feels like a 5 to 15 minute drive away. Banks, pharmacies and lots of restaurants have drive-thrus. Major intersections are typically one mile apart on a squared grid. The major stroads are often lined with big stores and restaurants with giant parking lots, while the interior parts of those grid blocks are housing colonies, schools and parks. Different suburbs are connected to each other and the city with arterial highways. And compared to Europe, fuel is very cheap. Cartopia.






But also the only place to get American goods in lots and lots of countries. I believe they’re also duty free.
