I'm reading a green text post here, and then the comments are analysing the situation as if this is r/amitheasshole. What's going on Lemmy?
Having too much electricity and not enough CO2.
They've been bullied and fat-shamed their whole lives and they've had enough.
Linux
Reddit bad
Am I doing it right?
She isn't going to order her own meatballs and is going to pick off his plate. He wanted to make sure he got to eat his fill before sharing.
For whoever needs to see this to help with insecurities:
Data:
Population Penis Size: Veale et al. 2014
Male Perception: King 2021
Female Perception: Prause et al. 2015
Porn-star: /u/omsoni @ /r/measuredpornstars (deleted post, but there's a lot of data still there)
Analysis: R & Excel
Visualization: R & Gimp
Edit: also, I am surprised that it is not yet common knowledge that there is a lot of prosthetic use in porn. Look closely next time and you can see the prosthetic most of the time.
This is such an insightful way to articulate the issue. The conversation mostly revolves around individuals ("men are bad"). This is one of the few times that men are talked about in a way that acknowledges the system at play, that they are a product of an environment and society that has shaped them a certain way.
I've lost the podcast source that talked about "there is no good way to be a man currently". Even for someone who wants to be a better man, there aren't role models or celebrations of " good manliness". There's no positive road map, only a list of "don'ts" and stereotypes to avoid.
That is beyond the capabilities of normies.
My wife would agree with this:
And I've got Plex running on an always on NAS.
Does this reflect how the platform is actually doing or do we just like the circlejerk of wishing they would fail? Because everything I've seen says Reddit has been completely unaffected by the changes made and they're still getting more user signups, engagements and interaction/posts than ever.
Tik Tok also seems to be growing strong.
Twitter is a genuine laughing stalk and is pulling major shit.....but everyone still seems to be using it regularly.
Even lurkers are still part of the community.
I started out looking for an exact replacement for Reddit (where I mostly lurk). Initially I thought the lack of content and traffic on Lemmy was a bad thing, but I now see it as early days of a community and lack of content means I have a chance to make a post or comment that is valued and gets engagement from other users. Reddit was so mature that anything I wanted to post was either already there, not welcome or buried under an ocean of other content/comments. If you use both you could even find good content on Reddit to crosspost on Lemmy.
It's quite nice being part of a small community now. Even just an up/down vote from you will be worth more here. It's great.
Do any of these services make recommendations for what you can watch next? The way Last.fm shows what other similar people like.....it would be good to have something like that for TV and movies tailored to my tastes.
