    From @rf_@lemmy.world:

    Javier Milei is:

    [...]

    In favor of Austrian school of economics - Wants to remove the central bank

    Adopt the US dollar

    Homosexuality is a personal choice and compares it to zoophilia

    Wants to freeze relationships with China, Russia, Brazil because they're communists.

    Wants to align with the US, particularly Trump's party.

    Against the Pope because he represents evil on Earth, and because it promotes communism which goes against the holy scriptures.

    In favor of animal cloning

    [...]

    Almost everything is here: https://www.larazon.es/internacional/america/asi-piensa-milei-aborto-papa-corrupcion-comunismo_20230820655b13fab276150001c04e6f.html

    The homosexuality one is trickier because he was explaining his libertarian views, and said: "What do I care what your sexual election is? If you want to be with an elephant—, well, if you have an elephant's consent, it is your and the elephant's problem". So... yes, he is comparing it to zoophilia, but not in the condemning tone I was imagining. It is, still, ridiculous.

    Combine Trump's bullshit with the attitude and ideologies from your average libertarian teenager on the internet: Javier Milei (Argentina).

    From Wikipedia in Spanish:

    He is a follower of the postulates formulated by economists of the Austrian school, and calls himself "anarcho-capitalist in theory", "liberal libertarian" and "minarchist in real life", although several of his political positions have been described as conservative or ultra-conservative and as fascist or neo-fascist.

    From Wikipedia in English:

    He criticizes comprehensive sex education in schools as a form of brainwashing, expressed skepticism towards COVID-19 vaccines, supports civilian firearm ownership, proposes to legalize the sale of human organs, promotes the far-right Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, engages in climate change denial, and wants to restrict immigration of criminals.

    Also:

    Milei strongly opposes abortion, even in cases of rape, and has suggested a referendum to reconsider the 2020 law (Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Bill) that legalized it.

    He also opposes euthanasia. Great libertarian, huh?

    Basically, he was elected because he's promising fantastic changes for Argentina.


  • In an old interview, Mr. Narcissus said he may have bipolar disorder; he said he experiences "great highs, terrible lows, and unrelenting stress".

    He has doubts because his highs and lows follow events in his life, whereas episodes from bipolar disorder often appear without triggers. Also, I'd add, the racing thoughts from bipolar disorder are extreme, and the symptom comes and goes. Perhaps he's confusing a busy mind (from ADHD, anxiety, OCD...) with a manic mind. The highs from BD are also too high and consist of more than euphoria.

    We'd know if he went for an evaluation/possible diagnosis, but I cannot even imagine him doing it.


  • In my mid twenties, I started having problems with my back, hands, elbows, etc. I stopped doing a lot of things (e.g. playing musical instruments), which helped, but the back pain persisted until I started sleeping on the floor. I was desperate, and I had heard about this solution from old anecdotes.

    Since then, I've noticed that firm mattresses and very slim pillows (or soft enough pillows) are okay. Soft mattresses and big pillows bring back all the discomfort and pain in a matter of hours. I still sleep on the floor, but a mattress for me might be waiting somewhere.
