This is Lemmy, you scroll for 5 mins and you've seen all the worthy posts for the day.

And it's a benefit in my book.

Yes, but we don't know if that's what they wanted to write. But in that case, maybe they also wanted to write "shoot" and not "shot", so yeah, fair point.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 2 hours ago

That's what they tried to write, but to be lexically correct it should be "loiterers".

"Normal" is a fluid term. It changes based on what the majority thinks. At some point slavery was normal and a part of life. But we as a society decided that we should move away from oppressive systems that marginalize and discriminate.

So, while it's true that in many cultures "entrenched gender roles" are considered normal, that doesn't mean certain people aren't suffering from it. In fact, it doesn't require much debate to acknowledge that in a system where there’s a power imbalance (in other words, inequality), there will inevitably be an oppressed group, and therefore, suffering.

As long as you consider "reducing the amount of suffering" an "absolute good/right", then abolishing entrenched gender roles is an absolute good. Promoting gender equality doesn't mean that women are prohibited from going to the kitchen and men must be stay-at-home dads. It simply ensures that these roles are a matter of personal choice rather than societal imposition.

Moreover, gender equality is not solely a liberal value; it has been promoted in various ideologies, including socialist and communist systems. While the practical implementation has varied, these systems have often supported the idea of gender equality alongside broader social reforms.

Capitalism may not be the problem, but "country being ruled by capitalism" definitely is.

"Survivors will be shoot again".

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 8 points 10 hours ago

They attempted to write "Loiters* will be shot* on sight".

You mean IF you hit 88mph.

I think you are projecting, not everything tentacle is hentai. With all the (often fucked up) diversity of hentai, ear sex isn't included.

... I hope...

I see so many variations on this meme, but I still don't know what he originally said. ~~And at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.~~ What's the original?

I mean, if you log in to Facebook at all, whatever MacOS collects is a drop in a bucket in comparison.

Privacy and data collection-wise MacOS is fine. It's their main selling point. Doesn't even force updates on you. I know it's a low bar, but damn Windows bar is at the floor at this point.
