Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

That individual health can be discussed separately from societal conditions such as what the market offers, salary levels, pollution, transport system, working hours, labour market, insurance system et cetera. "If you want to be healthy it is just your own individual responsibility to purchase healthy commercial products and services".

Where I grew up, the well water was poisoned by a chemical dump in the 70's. The public water system that was to replace the wells, draws their water just down stream of said dumpsite and downstream of a nuclear processing plant that dumps heavy radioactive metals into the river.

Guess its my fault for contributing to global pollution by buying bottled water shipped dozens of miles away.
