If only you had some way to look it up, some sort of big network that could be used to share information. I’d call it the infowebs, but I suppose it will remain a fantasy…

Good luck! If your granddad was Italian and you need any help getting the required supporting documentation, I know a great genealogist.

It has 60 days to be approved by parliament and there’s a lot of squawking about it being unconstitutional by immigration attorneys. As gross as it is, the more nationalist fucks are also against it for fairly racist reasons. They can’t stand the idea of Muslims getting citizenship before anyone else 🤮

I’m hoping if it does pass, it’ll still leave a route to citizenship for Italian descendants. We were literally getting ready to file when this dropped.

I’ll save you a click, here’s the summary from the author, edits and emphasis mine:

Hey everyone, I’m Viktor, and I’ve lived with ADHD my whole life. After dealing with all the ups and downs—distractibility, hyperfocus, and everything in between—I put my personal experiences into building a web app that’s all about helping others navigate making money off of people with ADHD for providing information one can find elsewhere for free.

I didn’t realize Rafe15 had started giving parenting advice.

Bingo. My approach to this is being really honest. Just tell her you’re interested and how you’re interested. See where the conversation goes from there.

The paper, for anyone interested:

This totally made my day. Thank you!

I expected better, i.e., she didn’t spend a single moment looking into Trump as a candidate and just believed everything he and his cronies said.

He donated about $1M to Trump’s campaign and nearly $2M to Republican political campaigns. These were first time donations of this size. He basically bought himself a pardon.

I often see people trying to reduce creepy/not creepy down to one variable, but I think it’s at least two very broad categories: mutual interest and context.

Leaving my partner a surprise gift telling them I’ll always be with them and will never leave is romantic. Doing the same to someone I’ve just met is terrifying.

It’s all “State’s rights” with fascists until it’s more useful just to ignore and override them. You cannot trust what a fascist says, only what they do.

You’re right, we need both.The key to unseating Republicans is Democrats that are worth at least half a shit.

That’s one thing I love about the Lemmy community compared to Reddit. I was frequently downvoted to oblivion when asking simple questions, usually just asking for clarification, so I wouldn’t get an answer. That hasn’t happened to me once on Lemmy.

They’re obviously a troll.

They’re me too. Hello, us!

My thoughts exactly!

I own a Tesla and I cheer at the news. While I don’t particularly want someone to burn mine before it sells, I wouldn’t begrudge whoever did it.

The statue was made by the French. You’re both right.
