Axxysto Canada@lemmy.ca•Pierre Poilievre’s new governing council stacked with corporate lobbyists ⋆ The Breach1·2 months agoI’m having trouble finding a full list of names. Is the formal name “governing Council”?
I’m also looking for other sources to confirm this piece.
Anyone else found anything?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say “rich nurses” isn’t why your hospital bill is ridiculous.
Axxysto THE POLICE PROBLEM•Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About ItEnglish9·5 months agoThere is an exception. Due process is not happening. No one is safe.
Don’t travel to the US. Don’t buy American products.
Could’ve spent that on non-lethals like tasers. Weird that they’re buying artillery and guided missiles… Wonder what those are for…
Then don’t say “that’s adulthood”.
It’s a symptom of a broken system, including things like the a government that is no longer primarily concerned with it’s people, corporations who don’t care about the welfare of its employees, and a world that looks to be going to shit.
I’m Canadian too. Ignore that guy.
Come on up and let’s have a beer.
Axxysto news@lemmings.world•Tesla driver and two kids burned alive because rescuers can’t open electronic doors: reportsEnglish23·7 months agoDo other unbreakable windows also come on vehicles where people routinely can’t figure out how to open the door?
I think it’s the combo of the two that’s (preventable) problematic.
Axxysto Ask Lemmy•Lemmings who have personal experience with bipolar disorder (self, family, or friends), how hopeless is the situation, really?4·10 months agoEspecially for type 1 bipolar, lack of sleep can trigger mania. It’s also very hard to sleep while manic, which can make the problem worse.
Sleep hygiene and sleep tracking were very helpful for me personally. Tracking helps predict manic phases, and tracking helps see how effective different things are for getting good sleep. Sleep hygiene is a good place to start in terms of trying to find what works well for sleeping better.
Axxysto Ask Lemmy•Lemmings who have personal experience with bipolar disorder (self, family, or friends), how hopeless is the situation, really?8·10 months agoI was diagnosed with Bipolar type 1.
I also worked in mental health.
The early stages can be tough because the person diagnosed has not yet learned how to recognize and cope with the issues bipolar brings.
It’s not hopeless. I finished university, started a stable career, bought a home, maintained some stable social relationships for decades, have a long term romantic partner. There were challenges along the way, but you generally get better at managing them as you go through more of them.
In addition to whatever recommendations the doctor makes , there are some things that every bipolar person can do to make things easier. If my illness is flaring up, I have a simple checklist.
If you notice a manic/depressive flare up, have you … Slept well? Eaten a remotely healthy meal? Done anything physical? Done anything social? Done anything productive?
Yes, these things will help pretty much anyone if you do them regularly, but they’re especially important for bipolar. They’re also listed in order of importance.
Axxysto World News@lemmy.ml•Trump's image of dead 'white farmers' came from Reuters footage in Congo, not South Africa61·11 months ago“it’s just sad that no one is ever willing to do a little bit of their own research so they can actually find the truth”
… Not sure if troll or stupid.
Axxysto News•House Republicans approve rule to block Democrats from forcing votes on executive oversight231·11 months agoThey’re complicit. Not all of them, but most. Look at how they’re voting since Trump got elected, not what they’re saying.
He hates the Canadian milk tariffs but HE SIGNED THEM INTO EXISTENCE on his first term. (Also they’ve never been used)
It’s commonly done in some specific cases of people not breathing. Sleep apnea and opioid drug overdoses are two immediate examples I can think of.
With opioid drug overdoses, stimulation in general can be (temporarily) effective if they haven’t taken too much. Usually, they require more stimulation, such as sternal rubs or trapezius pinching, but I have seen cases where they needed someone to shout at them every 30 seconds or so.
It’s just cause and effect. US threatens to take over Canada, so now we talk nukes because they are a cost effective defense strategy.
How else would Canada realistically defend itself from the US?
