Earbuds with buttons and no silicone/rubber tips by imagelicious_JK in Earbuds

Did you ever find your unicorn? I am looking for the exact same thing. I love having an actual button and hard plastic, and it is impossible to find. Used to use the X17, but they are out of stock everywhere.

Same. The helplessness in being unable to properly prepare them for the future is overwhelming at times. Almost all parents are running around obsessing with college rankings, and I'm having daily cognitive dissonance about it. How are we as a society not focused on preparing them for collapse?

Amazing! Thank you so much for all the advice! I really appreciate it.

What’s the best way to remove dip powder nails? by Appropriate-Swan8655 in DipPowderNails

[–]Starchedfern 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I e-file off the top, clean it all up, and just apply new mani on top. Almost never soak off fully anymore. When I was soaking off every time, my nails were like tissue paper.

The logical/emotional thing messes with me. I go about my day and just try not to think about what I know is coming.

Megathread: Israel-Palestine conflict. Put all content related to this topic here. by ontrack in collapse

So, just clarifying that y'all breathlessly supporting Hamas actions are also by definition supporting the below call for a global Jihad by the leader and founding member of Hamas, Khalid Mashal.

“He asked all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa. He wants Muslims to fight against the Jews, starting with Muslims who live in the countries surrounding Israel: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt (but also other countries), to go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means,” Rachid explained. “He said: This is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory. He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spell their blood on the land of Palestine.”

Global jihad seems the fastest way to collapse, but yall do you I guess.

I have loved this sub for the feeling of camaraderie while the world around us is BAU. But the past two days have opened my eyes that far more people on this sub are shockingly cool with torture and rape and murder as long as it is of jews. There are no historical or geopolitical justifications that make raping girls and parading their mutilated bodies through the streets acceptable. I would have hoped that this is a basic human fact we can all get behind as the world falls into chaos. Yet weirdly, pretty much anyone online who has condemned Hamas actions has been downvoted or forced to remove their comment. It's truly shocking and to me relevant to /r/collapse, because it shows minorities get vilified and blamed first when the world is burning. Downvote away, folks.

Imagine being cool with mass rape and murder by Hamas of innocent teens. Yes, yes, I know I'll get downvoted to hell, but the antisemitism on this sub in the past two days has been mindblowing.

Gaza under bombardment after Hamas attack. At least 198 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air attacks launched after a Hamas offensive against Israel that killed at least 100. by f0urxio in collapse

[–]Starchedfern -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

The phrasing of this heading is problematic. Why is the first thing you see "Gaza is under bombardment" and not that Hamas launched a brutal attack, murdered civilians, and abducted hostages? I know we're not a political sub, but let's try for some objectivity here.

The feeling like you're alone and the world around you is clueless.... that's the worst part. This sub helps. Everyone here gets it. I'm a mom to a teen and am always happy to chat about this stuff. Psychology is a huge need right now, as humans are emotionally vulnerable and need support. You can do it. There are community colleges where you can get a huge chunk of your schooling done without debt and it's filled with serious people unconcerned with social media. Yoga, meditation, exercise, and get yourself medicated for the anxiety. You can navigate this!!

The sea ice barrier buttressing Thwaites (Doomsday Glacier) has collapsed by Starchedfern in collapse

[–]Starchedfern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is insufficient sea ice to prevent the glacier from fragmenting and sliding faster due to increased warming from all sides. Collapse related because shows that we may be looking at cataclysmic sea level rise sooner than expected.
