There are always people that have the mentality that they are different than other people

Not sure why that is though

Lemmy is an Internet forum which means even the community spaces made for women are full of input from men. It’s also filled with people employed in tech which is a bastion of highly paid non-union white people. White people who also, as you point out, view themselves as enlightened allies and thus lash out when that image is marred. The closest you’ll find to allies are in queer spaces and the communist ones, but some members of those groups also frequently whip out the “no war but the class war” card right in your face, as if they would be the ones to know. I saw one of your original posts and knew exactly how it would shake out. I’m also really not surprised it’s a similar energy in here. I’m sorry.

Yikes

They’re saying the one person walking is being selfish because of how many more people in cars are being inconvenienced. The argument only makes sense if you ignore how we got here. It ignores how inconvenient cars have made getting around for people who actually live in the places they’re passing through and how the number of pedestrians is thus artificially low; it ignores that the only reason signals are necessary is because of how absolutely shitty and inconsiderate drivers are compared to pedestrians and cyclists; it’s only counting one person per car which is lower than the actual U.S. average of 1.5 people, but it’s unsurprising that this person considers a 5 passenger vehicle a perfectly reasonable mode of transportation for 100 individuals to be driving all by their lonesome, and unsurprising they don’t think about people who are using them differently.

In short, you’re looking at an asshole who has never even thought about their own opinion, let alone anyone else’s.

I mean this comment makes total sense if we pretend that all photos are equally valuable and that the color balance is the only issue but not if we actually address the part where the photographer ostensibly took a bunch of poorly framed candids and failed to capture the energy of the moment

Oops, sorry, I forgot you already decided that the photographer must have been the good guy so that means I’m wrong

Yes, the point of a pension is to give you zero additional benefit. I can’t imagine hitting Post after writing that

Rubber bullets are sold under the legal pretext that they’re acceptable to use in this fashion, while the manufacturer and the police department and probably every lawyer and judge in the country knows they’re just going to shoot at people.

They’re (mushrooms) also constantly listed on American menus as a “protein” option despite a dire lack of the stuff

Sorry, what’s the purported correlation between FDR’s paralysis and Trump’s general unhealthiness?

Highly recommend the book “Doppelganger” by Naomi Klein where she talks about how weird it is to get confused with Naomi Wolf. A real feminist vs a playactor, just like how the right playacts science and reason by ‘doing their own research’ and playacts working class solidarity by showering the public with populist propaganda while shredding their legal protections

They claim they may have a way to remove Glaze and Nightshade, two of the tools protecting images hosted on Cara from being used as training data. Which means right now they don’t have a way to remove it, which means Cara is still working, which I’m not implying is going to forever be true nor am I particularly informed; I just read the whole post.

Well, they obviously do need to be fit for the job, hence Trump’s mental decline being even more concerning than his original mental state. Given the lack of fit Americans interested in enlistment you might also think a bit of leading by example couldn’t hurt. And of course, I’d hate to be a National Guard member in an administrative role sent home for optics when I didn’t need to be physically fit to perform my job.

Things cost a lot to produce. It’s cheapened by underpaying laborers and underestimating the cost and impact of resource extraction and power consumption, and the current path of massively scaling up factories, overproducing, and driving the repair economy out of business by making “just buy a new one!” so affordable really looks like The Big Thing That Ends The Current Epoch that people will really struggle to comprehend when they learn about it in history class

??? Maybe Bernie’s supporters cared about his policies more than his lack of dad charisma lmao

And yet more than a hundred thousand Afghani people died. I’m glad your trip was uneventful.

You’ve never heard of someone buying music on iTunes?

In what sense is he correct? It’s not because he’s not black, you’ve just cited the workaround—and it’s not like he’s a guy who takes a principled stand against nepotism. The idea of the state taking partial ownership of a company that is operating in their country also doesn’t give me too much pause, free trade is extractive—and I’m simply not sure that Elon Musk deserves that money more than someone in the South African government, lol

Cucuteni-Trypillian society is believed to have been matriarchal/matrifocal based on available evidence! The artists may well have been women celebrating themselves

I don’t think men on the internet say “Epstein didn’t kill himself” because they want justice for him. That meme was to drive home that he was likely killed to ensure his silence and protect guilty gov’t officials and multinational executives

It depends on the societal framework. That would be anti-worker in the U.S. because you’d be sentencing some people to death, since the U.S. doesn’t have guaranteed livable wages or livable safety nets for those out of work. Given the assumption that you can make ends meet, mandating a cap on the hours spent working for someone else’s benefit and missing out on your own life is pro-human.
