At least the wife who talked about her children's PTSD now has an idea of what they do around the world to children. Her being from the US however, makes me doubt whether she will make that connection, instead of just looking at it from the lens of how it affects her own little bubble.

Good riddance to those United Statians who died

Funnily enough, Im not Dutch but I am learning the language :D

I can see your point, and for the record Im in Cyprus, but (and in part I take responsibility for wrongly estimating what an everyday kit would be for - someone else mentioned a first aid kit isn't really for the general day to day boo boos) I'm genuinely not looking for any actual survival or life threatening type stuff, which it seems a lot of the answers in here tend towards. For example, I genuinely can't imagine any situation I would find myself in where I would need to use a tourniquet. If I do find myself faced with someone that hurt I would already be on the phone with emergency services getting an ambulance there asap (still haven't even heard of anyone who has needed that kind of care here). I am mainly interested in the stuff that just makes certain normal situations where someone else or myself is hurt in a minor way, a bit easier and less miserable to deal with. I guess I got influenced by my category 3 "hiking" too much and used the words "first aid kit", which mislead people as to what I am actually looking for. A better way to ask the question might have been "What medical/health items do you carry around with you every day to make your life slightly easier?"

An example (which again I would put in the hiking category, or the "road" (car) category at least, is a pair of decent tweezers. Sure it won't really help if someone snaps a bone in half, but realistically how often does that happen, and how often does it happen where I am located that someone hasn't already called for an ambulance. It sure is welcome however if you get a splinter and don't feel like asking around if anyone has clean tweezers xD

Edit: I do want to do the first aid course, not just for work but also because I think its an invaluable skill to have, but its too expensive for me to do privately, it just makes sense to do it through my employer, but you know how this stuff goes. They've got a thousand other things to deal with rather than organise that stuff, so while they seem super positive about the whole thing its just always at the back of the mind of the guy who needs to arrange it.

Maybe someday eh?

It always was, just more insidious

Youre a lesbian? I thought you were american...

Hahaha, im actually referencing an old vine where a big sister tells her little brother shes a lesbian (either as a joke or serious idk) and he replies "youre a lesbian? I thought you were american"

pat pat mwuah mwuah

I trust you will relay the message?

Gives these vibes

Yea, why are Microsoft forums so bad? I have to use them sometimes as I work in IT and all our PCs run windows. Googling often leads me to their forums. The forums rarely lead me to a solution however

Its time we in Europe stop pretending that the US is capable of being anything other than an enemy. Its not just trump. If they do it once, theyll do it again. Whether its 1, 2, or several administrations down the line. We need to start distancing ourselves from them ASAP

This is so necessary and overdue, lets be honest. I hope it succeeds

Everyone complaining, and here I am not having noticed the change because I've created that directory for myself years ago :-P

Personally its for organisation

I was so sad when i watched the last episode (it had been over for a while but i had only recently found the show and binged it). Its so good

When a page is so bloated with crap, certain elements load much after certain others, leading me to believe the page has loaded, and to click on something jus as somthing else loads and pushes it down/to the side.

Use chapstick

Read a book in public

Not go to gym

Play certain more "feminine" games

Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more

Will test and edit. Ill leave my automatic upvote on, so first person to read this please downvote this comment

Edit: no no guys, stop upvoting 🤣

Edit 2: sorry OP, guess i cant test out my theory, which was that if you leave your upvote, but get downvoted once, it shows up as 0

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I wouldn't be aware of it otherwise. For what its worth, I left my ideas as feedback there.

Also, I would just like to point out that before lemmy (and subscribing to various EU communities) I was not at all active in voicing my opinion about such things as I didn't have any idea that it was even possible/how to do it. Lemmy as a whole has helped me become more active in this regard :D

This. Im not french, and while the surrender jokes can be slightly amusing at times, i feel a great sense of pride(?) everytime i see on the news that theyre protesting some new tyranny. Wish my lot were like that. Alas, we not only get trampled by the boot but kiss it as it passes by

As ive grown older i find myself disagreeing more and more with the jedi whom as a child i idolised as paragons of good. But palpatine, vader, and the empire are so many things before being "poor good revolutionaries" trying to take down the status quo simply from the good of their golden hearts. Theres always more than 2 choices people :)
