Friendliest forum on the internet! Thanks 🙏🏻

Does anyone on here by chance have access to PubMed or another of the research science health journal sites?

I’m wanting to read a paper called ‘Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A New Kind of Dreamwork?’

Thanks but I won’t go there, don’t want to ruin the fun for anyone else.

I’ll moan about it elsewhere for now.

I wish I knew how to do that hiding spoilers trick so I could have a full blown rant. But I’ll settle for just saying, I agree completely.

Can you explain the controversy of this video, because I really don’t see it. He’s specifically talking about the Al-Nusra Front.

Casualties of the Al-Nusra Front were absolutely taken to Israeli hospitals. There are numerous articles from different news sources about this:

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/syrian-war-israel-al-nusra-golan-heights-allies-a7398246.html

There’s even an interview with the former head of Israel’s intelligence agency, where he explains that they treat their enemies (Al-Nusra) humanely except when he’s asked sixty seconds later if they’d do the same for their enemies (Hezbollah).

I genuinely don’t understand how it is a WTF moment, that Milne, in 2015, thinks this a topic worth thinking about?

EDIT - Apparently there’s concern that this report is fake news, in order to blame a specific group for the attacks. Same reason they’ve shut down all social media by the looks of it.

Strangely I can’t see this information anywhere in The Guardian’s live feed anymore.

But here it is from another website:

This is strange. This morning, on The Guardian’s live feed page there was a quote from some official that said roughly “We had previously received intelligence that there was a possible threat to high profile churches”.

I’m looking at the articles on there now and can’t see any mention of this. I’ll see if I can find it...

I guess they’d prefer him to be whacking protesters in the face.

lol

First Brexit, now XXXit

The version where someone switched the music to that Dirty Dancing song is my fave.

Lol! Perfect. 😂

Couldn’t agree more.

Judging how we feel only by proximity is the isolationism of our empathy. It’s exactly that ‘Us and Them’ mentality that’s so apparent after events like the burning of Notre Dame.

My issue isn’t with people expressing shock, my issue is with the sheer amount of shock and grief, in both the media and social media, which I think is a great example of western hypocrisy. We’re talking about the roof of one building.

And I disagree. You state that comparison as if it’s an obvious fact. I think we’re capable of far more complex empathy, than simply feeling the most emotion because something is close by.

Thanks, I’ll check it out 👌🏻

I’ve never heard of that word before, looks like an interesting term to deep-dive into.

Eek. Would probably land harder if you called me a snowflake instead of bro tbh.

But good job in wrapping up my opinion and ending a discussion about the imbalance of public grief, with the current buzz phrase of choice. 👍

Isn’t that exactly the problem?

Of course we feel more affected by something we have proximity and experience with. But we also have the capability for unpacking our thoughts and seeing a wider picture and just possibly, before uploading another screenshot with a broken heart emoji, even recognising that it’s kind of weird we feel worse about the part destruction of one building, than the bombing and utter destruction of an entire city.

Over 50 go fund me campaigns started by regular people and the total official fund raising is at over £600 million euro’s. For a building that caught fire less than 24 hours ago. Lol.

Bloody hell. The western social media public grieving machine is back again.

Any loss of history and beauty is rightly saddening but seriously, people need to get a grip. I can’t be the only one who is sickened by our western privilege and hypocrisy at times like this?

Wait until they see what happened in Mosul - 3 years ago.

1. People who ask “Why do you always wear black?”
   
2. People who ask “Why do you always wear black?” while I’m wearing navy blue.
   
   

Umm, to weed out the people who ask such inane questions. 🖕🏻

Haha. Yeh the TIME one is it. 👌🏻

Grim.

Link? (fundraising)

Haha of course. I used the contact us option in the iOS app. Wrote that I didn’t think it was very clear that “Special Offers” were adverts, the human on the other side explained that there are two Kindle options for sale etc, and that to remove “Special Offers” the fee is £10 (or £20?). I wrote “Can you do this for free?”. They asked their supervisor and then they were removed.

Take that Bezos.

Finally decided I’d try out reading on a Kindle. Went for the paperwhite as it’s on sale at the moment. (Purchased with “Special Offers” and then contacted customer services to ask them to remove them free of charge. Because if I’m buying from Evilcorp, then I need some small victories.)

I like how thin and light it is, and the inverted mode seems very nice to read. Time will tell.

I am though baffled as to why they’d put the power button on the bottom, where you hold the device, instead of on the top edge. And the 90’s art store lock screen images that you can’t change - how have they not made an option to display the cover of the current book yet?!

Angriest singles bio ever.
