I literally just finished watching the video and open Lemmy to find this as the first post. That's kinda crazy. It's a great video. Just in case it hasn't been posted yet here it is

I'm pretty sure car-centric culture is what made it so this had to be a solution in the first place.

Genuine questions for the purpose of discussion: should photos of spiders also be marked as NSFW for arachnophobia? What other phobias should and shouldn't be considered in this?
I do not have any genuine phobias, so I concede that I'm speaking out of my limited knowledge coming only from years of solo and group therapy for other issues, but NSFW tags are intended to block images that you wouldn't want your boss (or mom, or general public) to see you looking at due to them being sexual or otherwise inappropriate. There are a lot of things that are going to trigger phobias and other very difficult feelings for a lot of people, but I don't think it's feasible to ask that everyone accommodate all possibilities when posting images or sharing stories. I think it's a positive thing to tag content warnings in bodies of text, for example, and at the same time I think that a person that can have an extreme reaction to what is otherwise an innocuous image due to a personal issue needs to take responsibility for it.
I hope this doesn't come across as minimizing the very real struggles that people with phobias have to deal with on a daily basis, and as a whole I support making public spaces more accessible.
ETA: my understanding of a phobia is having an irrational fear so severe that it causes very real and disruptive anxiety and panic upon being exposed to the phobia. If seeing an image like this causes you discomfort or unease, but doesn't really affect you severely or impact your life negatively, is that really a phobia?

Limited edition orange juice mint condition looking for trade
Reply in thread
So based on the orange juice box it's at the very least post 2003, but I believe it's newer. I couldn't find a reliable source on when or if this rebrand happened, but I think it's the newer packaging of the juice box (look here for the newer one vs here for what I think is an old one literally just based off vibes and the fact that it showed up when I added 2013 to the search terms). You can see the difference in the way the point at the bottom of the Nicole picture is in the center of the front of the box.
I got my 2003 claim by looking at the logo and comparing it to this image listing the del monte logo rebrands. The box in the Nicole image and the newer Del Monte orange juice box has the shadow on the lettering not found pre-2003. They're both using the 2003 to present one.
So basically I determined nothing of value.
Edit: what I thought was the old packaging appears to still be sold, at least in Toronto. I haven't yet found a store in Toronto selling the packaging in the picture.

It's not inherently derogatory, but it does hold a connotation if you refer to women as females particularly in contexts where you wouldn't/don't refer to men as males.

I mean, of all the ways to manipulate people into paying money on an app, I feel like changing the app icon to draw attention is fairly benign?

Trump doesn’t seem to know why he launched a giant trade war
Reply in thread
The thing is, I don't doubt there is an actual reason why these plans have some more intelligent purpose behind them; I doubt that Trump is the one thinking of this. I'm of the belief that Trump has a bunch of yes men around him that are smart and able to coerce him to do these things through careful manipulation strategies and feeding into his ego.

Hello I think this is funny because I think I understand more or less what this is implying (atoms and electrons? And because it's missing one electron etc.)? I think?
But would love if someone explained it for those that are way less smart than me who wouldn't get the joke, unlike me.

Holy shit tell me about it, but I kinda thought maybe I was just being paranoid about it because of all the money that he has put towards philanthropic things.

Sit or lay down, breathe, observe the physical feelings in your body and thoughts in your mind without trying to distract yourself, pass judgment on them, stop them, or force anything. Just sit and observe. Deceptively difficult.
