You should 100% treat people different depending on their beliefs.

Yeah, it's not that Gen Z is cringe. It's that any and everyone who is between the ages of 10 to 16 are cringe.
It happens with every generation. It happened with everyone before Gen Z and it'll happen with everyone after Gen Z.

I want Nazis to be scared to share their ideas. I want Nazis to be so scared they don't crawl out of the gutters they live in.

Reddit users lost?

I had an 8 year old account with a few hundred thousand karma, deleted it on July 1st once BaconReader went down.
Switching to Lemmy makes me want to participate even more and hopefully foster more people to join.

Who still has a rift in their family due to differing opinions over Covid?
My family became very Anti-Vax during that time. My wife and I had just had a newborn about a year in to the pandemic and demanded everyone get their vaccines before they got to be around the baby.
My parents didn't get any and didn't see the baby for a while.
Then when we did start seeing them, they had completely lost their minds. Blatantly racist, blatantly homophobic. Even when it wasn't things political, it felt like they had forgotten how to properly talk to people in an appropriate way. My mother made comments about my DAD having relations with my wife and that the baby wasn't mine.
I know they watch Fox, I know my mother watches a bunch of far right-wing YouTubers. All of it has led to them barely being functioning adults.

Now that you've all tried it ... ChatGPT web traffic falls 10%
It's because it's summer and students aren't using it to cheat on their assignments anymore.

What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?
When I was a teen I worked as a waiter at a dirty smokehouse/bbq place.
One of the kitchen staff there would make sexual comments about me. Say things like "You're lucky you look good because you're so stupid." And would ask what kind of underwear I was wearing.
I told my parents about it, and the advice they gave me was "Deal with it. You need a job."
Within a month that kitchen staff member had started to grab me and sexually assaulted me.
I don't talk to my parents anymore.

States Rights had always been a smoke screen.
Even during the Civil War Southern States were trying to implement laws that gave them power over other states to give slaves.
States Rights had always been right wing propaganda designed to hide their true motive. Same a "protect the children." Same as a racist hiding behind "free speech."

Bro, I got in an argument with a guy on Lemmy here - he said that my sexual harassment and assault enabled by my parents was God testing me to see if I could handle it.
If thats what his God does to test people - his God is the bad guy of the story.

We live in a post scarcity society. It blow my mind that more people aren't screaming that from the top of their lungs.
We could have automated trains delivering food to every corner of this nation - but instead billionaires launch cars into space and build death tunnels to nowhere.

Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?
I feel like a lot of people might think miniature building/painting could be easy - or at least quick.
It isn't.

People post links to those places here. That's what this person is asking.

joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex
Reply in thread
Yeah. All the Reddit news is new news. So of course it's going to be trending - it's happening right now and people are talking about it.

There's no such thing as a conservative intellectual — only apologists for right-wing power
Reply in thread
But they don't protect individual freedoms.
They have taken a hard stance against body autonomy, free speech, individual identity - all in support of corporate and state control over the individual.
This is the same argument as saying conservatives are fiscally responsible. It's just something people say with nothing historically supporting it.

Well you are blaming them for child abuse/assault.
I'd be pissed if I was him too.
