We're living in a utopia... It's just not ours.
  • This the etymology yes.

    "But it now usually describes an ideal society that is considered better than contemporary society."

    So, as you can see we're not in ancient greece, are we? "Buzz lightyear smug squint"

    Replying to unpopular opinion posts with arguements kind of defeats the point of unpopular opinions.

    There a reason why it is called unpopular opinions y'know. If were just called "opinions" then it would make more sense. But the whole point is that people post to unpopular opinions is because they know it's not aggreeable so it defeats the purpose of unpopular opinions when people come here just to counter argue with what has already been deemed an unpopular opinion.

    Is being born a girl a fate worse than death itself?
  • This sounds more like personal issues than a "man vs women" issue.

    Believe me men are not as privilige or care free as you make it out to be. Men struggle with their own problems too. They're just better at hiding their pain and sorrows because they are taught to do so.

    From a man's perspective they may see a woman's life as being way easier because a man is expected to bare more responsibility and women seem like they get handed everything on silver platter.

    Now this could vary depending on where you are from. For instance if you were from china women might be worse off or if from certain states or regions of america, men might struggle more. In america men have a higher suicide rate and more likely to face homelessness.

    Many men struggle with knowing who to turn to for help and many face such prejudices as men bad by default and societal norms pampering to women needs.

    Though would like to point out altenative issues that's not just about what your sex is. Perhaps the bigger issues is that of the wealth gap between classes and the whole men vs women thing is but a diversion to divide people by having them fighting among each other rather than face the issues of elitest manipulating both men and women.

    I think we should focus more on sympathesizing with eachothers struggles, but also understanding maybe things aren't always as we lead ourselves to believe them to be. Good and bad behaviors are not exclusive to what one's sex is. There are bad men, there bad women, there are good men, there are good women. Remember this.

    I know life can be hard, and is tempting to point fingers when in stressful times. I hope you find means to put yourself at ease. Also please don't blame men for being men. They can be fools sometimes. If you get to know them for their character apart from just being a guy i think you'll come realize men come in all sorts of variety of personalities apart from each other. A select few couldn't possibly represent the entirety of the whole male population.

    Good luck to you.

    Migrating reddit userbase to lemmy, driving away the deemly undesirables, and federating with threads.net (facebook) were all really bad decisions.
  • Well as a new lemmy user it wasn't too hard to figure out what has been defederated for unliked reasons. Im not stating out of just mere personal interest as some might assume, im only highlighting that free expression (artistic values) should not be blantantly treated with oppression just because majority overules a dislike for it. For myself, there are plenty of things i don't like, but i wouldn't go out of my way just to deplatform something i didn't like, only the deranged would do something like that.

  • Lemmy has made me hate people more than any other social media platform.
  • Like most people say if you want more pleasant experience, it'd be better to avoid politics.

    Dank memes is also tangled with politics and crudeness anymore and outlived their days.

    Also you don't need to feel obligated to respond to rude or unpleasant people, just block em' and go about your own interest.

    Lastly treat others how you would like to be treated. If you just go around trying to counterpoint argue and call everyone terrible then you might suffer some backlash.

  • Inn english their our know rules,
  • Ah sea. clever in it's sense of multi-language cryptid formation. I was seeing if anyone would noticed the sort of humor i was conveying that makes light mockery of a subset of people who place too much importance in other people's grammar and spelling. Its meant to convey that the most important aspect of the language is that as long as there is mutual understanding in their meaning, the spelling and grammar is nothing to make a big deal about. Language in itself doesn't abide to an absolute rule. We just need to understand its meaning. Whether it's "your" or "you're" won't matter too much for example.

  • Most if any shower thoughts probably never actually occured in the shower

    They probably happened in the bedroom, so therefore should be called bedroom thoughts 🙂

    I like winter. Snow is great.

    The perks of winter:

    • it is easier to keep warm during winter than it is to keep cool in the summer
    • get to wear more clothings which means more pockets to carry things
    • all the hell spawned insects go into hibernation
    • everything layered in a blanket of snow glistens and sparkles.
    • can build stuff with snow so easily
    • unpleasant people are deterred or avoid going out as they are bitter about the snow so less likely to encounter them in the winter.
    • the weaklings rely more on help as they are not strong enough for winter
    • can do more exercising without overheating
