Elaborate. You're saying my comment has a bad generalization? Do you think that Lemmy's demographic appeal wasn't primarily towards males with niche usually tech-related interests? Or are you surprised that large parts of said nerdy male demographic (e.g. gamers, techbros, cryptobros, webdevs/software devs) often have sexist/misogynistic views and objectify/sexualize/"other"ify women significantly more than your average leftist, even if they don't think they do?
If it's the latter, do you really think that the claim large communities of mostly male gamers, techbros, and the like are often known for harboring much misogynist thinking, so it makes sense for that to carry over to a site which those groups primarily compose is baseless?
Or was your issue something else completely unrelated to the site's former demographics and the general tendencies of technology-related communities?
Was it me saying that sexist attitudes are extremely common on the site? Because I did base that on numerous observations of users treating women like a different species and casually using very degrading sexist language when speaking about women. And people taking generalizations of women to the extreme, which seeing as you apparently hate generalizations you'd probably love to argue with them for. And people constantly complaining about women's "privilege" and seemingly blaming them for men's societal issues. What made me realize that I'm not just getting a bad sample is when I went to look on communities on Lemmy for women & non-binary folks and the literal first threads I saw were saying how they experienced the same things, like these, although they're tamer than much of the stuff I sometimes see:
Russia has pretty high gun ownership... comparable to Europe/Australia and not far from Canada. The US has like 4x the guns per capita as the next highest countries, and it's far from the most free.
I don't think 15:1 is needed, I think 10:1 or even 5:1 would be fine. The limiting factor then is just ammo
the act is disrespectful, to refer to human beings using pronouns; by referring to people using fully qualified names, respect and humility is shown. pronouns are a declaration of war on the attributed creature, as immense inferiority is implied. societies created names with purpose – and to sidestep names is to break the fabric of culture!
i don't wanna be the one to tell the slaves "hey guys i know forced labour sucks and all but we gotta have more ammo for this random war half-way across the globe so you'll just have to push through it"
same for things like EVs. i like things that use batteries a lot, but i'd really have a stronger guarantee that the materials to make it aren't sourced by slave labour or methods that harm the local ecosystem... i mean a large part of that problem is also that the US has fuck all for recycling laws, i don't think most lithium is actually recycled anyways. but that's a different topic
I literally stated it in the comment. It's clear I was talking about providing kids the food they need to develop properly and not suffer from malnutrition.
It's not about "ham sandwich worse than nothing" it's about the fact that you're taking people's shock and complaints, and immediately going to use these "ham sandwiches" to deflect from the issue of kids' lunch debt being legal in the first place. And many of your comments under this post are just "actually it's not technically the child's debt". You're presenting parents not sending kids in with barely-meals as the problem.
The issue to focus on isn't "the parents". The blame often isn't even on parents. The blame is on conservatives, on our society, on people who rail against the basic welfare that every civilized, developed, first-world country has.
As far as everyone else is concerned, you're just trying to make excuses for the right causing our country's dysfunction, and you're trying to defend the existence of school lunch debt by using parents as a scapegoat and saying they're the ones that really cause this.
as a rustacian i cannot thank you enough for notifying me of this
"Poker-themed roguelike"? That sounds... interesting
In French, words spelled with just "u" use a different sound than those spelled with "ou". "ou" (in la Métropole) is similar to the sound in English "do"/"too"/"sue"/"shoe" etc. while "u" is similar to Standard German long "ü"/"üh" like in "Lüge" but the German one is relatively reduced and isn't quite as frontal/strained/constricted.
I don't remember a time where kidnapping people and putting them into concentration camps away from their families made something not left, actually it seems pretty common in former and current communist countries lol...
but actually i meant "slightly more left" in the sense of economic-social matters, not... killing or kidnapping people matters. he has done quite a lot to improve social services and lessen the financial fuckedness of many government programs, for example.
