I put my steel in the fridge and it’s completely dried out now

Granted, it wasn’t very wet when it went in

Ok 👍

Presumably what the other commenter was referring to is the US having the oldest codified constitution

Why? This is a scientific article with a shitpost as the title

Pleasure doing business, good sir

Well except for the fact that the salary option is:

• granted gradually over a year period
• requires you to do a full-time job

If they would be able to get even a slightly worse salaried job instead of being an MP, then the financial motive is - in contrast to your claim - actually in favour of him losing

Sorry, what’s that in hand-egg-ball fields?

Oh sure, there’s definitely lots of valid criticism of rainbow capitalism, but to be clear, it’s not pride month itself that’s the issue there - it’s corporations leveraging it for profit

Did apple maps really not support walking until now?!

“You are welcome, comrade biden”

But the serious answer is because LGBTQ people have been systemically discriminated against in pretty much every country

Literally the next thing in my All feed is about the previous US president having a chill time with a man who proposed stoning gay people to death

Bold to go with the pro-auth-left take

I’m just going to ignore the long responses to stuff I didn’t claim in the first place

Okay but this isn’t “oh no, there are tankies around”, it’s the admin of one of the largest Lemmy instances systematically suppressing information about massacres and genocide.

There’s quite a big gap between banning “opinions you don’t like” and defederating from a systemically auth-left instance, in the same way that defederating from an auth-right instance would be a no-brainer.

I think the lemmy software itself isn’t so much the problem (in that it isn’t politically moderated), but the way he moderated his own instances make a fairly compelling reason for defederation

There’s a big distinction between being republican and capital-R Republican, and between being pro-democracy and a capital-D Democrat

You had me for a moment there

Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency

Edit: don’t forget the fatphobia!

I would add though, that (a) those statistics do exclude non-violent sexual harassment (which is more likely from strangers), and (b) that sexual violence is massively underreported, especially when the perpetrator is unknown, since the chances of anything being able to be done about it are extremely low

I clearly said: it’s not targeted at you specifically, but at that fact that women are disproportionately more likely to be harassed or assaulted, and when that happens, the aggressor is almost exclusively men.

They’re not scared of you because you’re personally scary, they’re scared of you because there’s an ingrained culture of sexual harassment of women by men. So when you say “that’s a nice dress” to a woman you don’t know, she’s not thinking “aww cute”, she’s thinking “is this guy being nice, or will they threaten me if I turn them down?”

Seriously, ask literally any woman you know if they’ve ever been sexually harassed, and the answer is almost guaranteed to be yes.

I would 100% pick a Catholic priest

Yes, I know that, that’s how hyperbole works. My point is that such a statement shouldn’t be interpreted as “every priest is a child molester” but as “there’s a concerningly high rate of them, and they’re probably not a good option for childcare.”

You are accusing everyone

When did I say “all men are <whatever you’re saying I’m accusing all men of>?” Stop making this about you, and actually try to understand why interactions with men can be terrifying for women.
