What's happened to our society?
Yeah because it's sexual assault and not funny.

To those not in the IT industry, what do you think programming is like?
It involves a lot of tall girls in thigh high socks, sometimes they wear cat ears too. And they do a lot of typing on extra clackity keyboards.

It's not a real place unless it's from the Place region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling area.

Wasps are also pollinators and are just as vital to the ecosystems they live in as bees and other native insects.

Do the people in Reniassance festivals occurring in Britain also speak with faked British accents, or do they use faked French/Italian accents instead?
Renaissance fairs are an American thing. They don't exist in the UK.

What are some good Subs on Lemmy that we should know about?
Superbowl is a great little sub, the main person behind it makes all these fantastic posts full of information and photos- I've learnt so much about owls in the last few weeks!

Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago?
No. Not even slightly. Fifteen years ago reddit was still far bigger and more active than the fediverse.
Here there's barely any content today, back then I was regularly getting 30+ pages deep into reddit when I couldnt sleep most nights, and I wasn't even close to the end of that days content.

Kim Kardashian’s next trick? A bra to make you look turned on by absolutely everything
It really bothers me that standard human anatomy is so sexualised like this. Pointy nipples are not a sign you're turned on.
All this equivalency does is invite harrassment and gross behaviour, there is no upside.

Earth is outside its 'safe operating space for humanity' on most key measurements, study says

Give it a few years. Global fresh water reserves will be 40% over capacity by 2030, and 90% of global top soil and arable land is at risk of depletion by 2050.
And that's just water and food. Billions of people are going to die in the next 30 years.

It's a usa thing. Their psychiatric wards apparently also provide like actual therapy and psychiatric help too, from what I've read.
I don't know what it's like elsewhere but in the UK, psychiatric wards are filthy, underfunded holding pens run by the dregs of the nhs. And you get no help, just held till they arbitrarily decide if you're 'safe to be released' or not. You don't get socks here, you get ptsd.

And in 4 billion years, that layer of microplastics will have condensed down into fuel for the next creatures to annihilate their atmosphere with. Circle of life.

Because far too many people think women are only good for decoration and breeding.

What is the feminine equivalent of emasculation and what are common triggers?
Emasculation happens when 'feminine behaviour' in men removes pervieved power and agency and makes them feel degraded. Bare in mind, weakness is considered a feminine behaviour.
What removes power and agency from women is not us displaying masculinity, it's having our gender and sex used against us and/or against our will.
So being percieved as overly emotional/unstable, sexually promiscuous, not capable of intelligence or leadership, etc. and being raped and physically manhandled.
That is what is degrading to women.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
I mean at it's most basic, tarot is essentially just a random number generator for creating a story.
Ordinary playing cards can and historically have been used for 'divination' like this, so there's no reason Uno cards couldn't, you just have to assign a narrative element to each card.
If I wasn't in so much pain right now (endo), this would be a really fun to dive into. I might jot this down actually, it could be my October project.

ADHD has real health effects
If you have autism too, your life expectancy is hugely lowered, under 50 i think. Heart disease and suicide are the main ways we die.
