Yeah but it's nothing scary or new. Was I the only one who watched those documentaries about the people who were emotionally and sexually committed to objects like cars and rollercoasters? Someone married the Eiffel tower. Been extremely isolated at different points in my life watching that stuff changed the way I view people. Like it made me kinder I think.

When I worked in a brothel an alarming amount of father's, uncles, brothers etc. would bring in underage boys, or more frequently young men who has just turned 18. Like they thought it would set them up better in life, like finishing college of something. Gender roles are horrible for everyone involved. Support kid getting dying wish but seriously question if maybe things could be better because there's much more to life than sex

Doing the the thing in direct opposition to what an authority is demanding is like a trauma response or something.

You probably need to go outside and touch some opossum

I've decided this is good and want a Lemmy that is restricted to just the nerdiest of nerds. These little spaces are cool without all those horrible reddit users.

Just create a new one

Dread to ask but comparatively to what?

Oh yeah, lifestyle changes will totally change the system, just look how far green capitalism got us /s. As far as I can tell, personal responsibility and guilt is a tool used very successfully by the oppressive classes. It's not progressive to point the finger at people who don't have the luxury of hand picking an "ethical profession"-something I'd love to see an example of? Find better targets to be angry at bud.

Not to be overly depressive and cynical but the Nuremberg trials were, in practice, show trials and very few people were actually held accountable.

Go back and watch This is America. Sounds trite but just do it.

Want to get away with the wife for a few days, not that familiar with the outskirts of Melbourne. Anyone know any good spots where mushrooms might still be in season? Is mount Dandenong any good for that?

It's fascinating how Lemmy users view internet consumption habits as a reflection of personal ethics. You can't always hold other people to the standards you've achieved. Using and navigating Lemmy takes effort insight that the majority just don't have. Being alive also takes effort and can be very painful. Sometimes people just need to be able to turn off and zone out. Try not to place value judgements on the ways that other people do that.

• Supporting the democrats does not make you a safe person for some people, especially class conscious minorities and vulnerable people who were on the kill list long before Trump
• Capitalism and patriarchy are the problem not men.
• Blaming men as if they're a monolithic effectively ignores the spectrum of gender that exists and further alienates people who haven't had the chance to meet their own selves.
• Blaming men has become a terf dog whistle

Today I would like the button to eradicate all gender within me and all external perception of gender towards me

Yeah. Lemmy users should spend a bit of time deconstructing why tik tok makes them so angry. There's a bit to unpack there. Not that it isn't trash.

This is how I get my ADHD wife to drink water and it's pretty effective

Fascists build their own reality and that is only reinforced by any attempt to "debate" them.

As a millennial this caused me to break from reality

Right!? Trump very much ran on a platform of breaking down government institutions so the messaging is going to have to get a little more clear.

Also people are already dying but as many of us know it's not going to be readily accessible information. Neither is the god damn revolution. Words of wisdom he kind of pissed on there.

As a victim of actual child predators I'm over it being used as a political device too, especially when it's used to hurt and villanize my trans brothers and sisters

The whole thing was deeply unnerving

I feel like this trope should be applied to jobs outside of science. Like retail. Retail workers are just as prone to insanity and it's up to us to make that romantic and cool in similar ways. Also science outside of physics, like geology.
