It reminds me of the "allies" who insist that in LGBTQIA+ the A stands for ally instead of asexual. Literally replacing a marginalized sexual identity community with being tangential to the larger community.
While these questions aren't as bigoted as having "straight pride" events or asking for "white history" month, they see all born of the same fundamental misunderstanding of a given community in context of a larger biased society.
If I have to pick a burger, then same! But if we're talking vegan fast food options than my first choice is always gonna be fresco style burritos at 🌮 🔔
I don't know you, how could I have possibly pre-formed an opinion WITHOUT reading your post? I'm sorry, but that is just ludicrous and a poor deflection.
Yet also a predictable one based off the responses you gave to those who were forgiving. I'm critical of your actions so somehow unfair and biased, but those saying "That camp police dude is just a wannabe white knight" are applauded. This thread wasn't a sanity check, it was you fishing for affirmations and apparently that is all you will accept.
Bottom line, you were removed from a space for saying creepy things to women. You should spend more time reflecting why it was inappropriate than writing threads on how "camp police" went overboard with punishment.
I think you're far too old to be this obtuse. Older men complementing younger women "especially when naked" is always going to be read as sexual. Intentions matter far less than actions, so if you want to insist that you didn't mean to be creepy, that doesn't change the reality that what you said to her was exponentially creepy.
Honestly, this reads less you taking responsibility for your actions and more at venting your frustrations at her and the community for not hearing you out enough. Even though she gave you multiple chances to do exactly that.
His wife told News 12 Long Island in a recorded interview that she was undergoing an MRI on her knee when she asked the technician to get her husband to help her get off the table. She said she called out to him.
Whole thing is heart breaking all around. I feel for the technician who made an honest but very serious mistake. And I'm sure the wife will spend her days regretting asking for help. Just a fucking tragic situation. :/
For the last year I've been a primary wheelchair user, I can walk a bit but that only gets me to the bathroom. Since then my weight has become a bit of a problem but I'm already doing the maximum exercise I'm capable of. I have dropped 10 over the last few months just by diet, which is less than I would like but it's what I can do.
You cant assume the "mad constraints" is just laziness without knowing the full picture. Either answer the question or scroll on, but its cruel to attack someone over what they can't do.
God. I fucking suck, listen to my boot licker orphan crushing machine take but ICE was wildly over budget. Sorta obviously since this fascist ass surge. It wasn't until the oligarchal gift of the new national budget that ICE started this new wave of hiring CAREER brown shirts. Up until now it's been deputized prison guards and cops.
I don't disagree with the meme in the slightest, but just wanted to add context to why this is a huge escalation and a new facet of our nazi hellscape.
The two from the 2000s were trainwrecks that my friends and I mocked pretty hard. They had a few fun moments, but even then I knew they were objectively bad movies. Saying that, a 13-14 year old me would've been delighted to get those as a gift instead of the LoTR nap inducers.
But the new one?! Honor Among Thieves? Love it SO much. Goofy barely serious characters with hammy backstories living in a world that has both serious consequences and detailed history. Finally nailed it!
Wife and I are just about done with our 3rd-ish Baulders Gate 3 run and we are planning on giving it a rewatch soon. :)
I spent my teenage years reading, playing DnD and overall just being a huge dork. I was gifted the movies a few times by relatives who didn't know I found the movies boring as hell.
Nah, this is one more landmark on the eventual enshitifcation of every platform, only happening because as company that is publicly traded. Someone at Reddit HQ realized that they could make more money off new french users than the cost of ads. So then they have a fiduciary duty to do exactly that. Just like the reddit API-ocalypse, the finical benefits data from every redditors mobile being forced to use the official app was determined to be more profitable than those who would be pissed enough to leave.
Either Lemmy dies or it grows enough to do the same eventually.
It's pretty lame to use the (imperically correct concept) of, no ethical consumption under capitalism to blanket absolve you of willful, informed choices. Humans all eat approx the same amount of calories, but the production of said calories are far from equal. Like you can be mad at the statistics but that doesn't really change the reality of an unnecessary cultural pratice which massively contributes to climate.
I mean just for your own sake, stop this line of thinking at "I don't care" instead of looking for a scapegoat to justify you indifference as praxis.
This is such a colossal cop out. Without question corporations and individual billionaires produce more pollution by several magintuedes of individual people. But even that is a drop in the bucket between the deforestation, the years of transporting food for livestock and the final transportation of end product meat to the world population that can be fed on plant based protein.
Save this line for plastic straws and other frivolous demonization from those in private jets. But don't use it as a thought terminating cliche aginst the single biggest source of historical human made climate change.
