Yeah but 22 year olds aren’t just stupid children. Very young adults, but still adults. Perspectives can always change, so with that mentality, never do anything cause you might change your mind later.

If vasectomies were 100% permanent, I might agree more. But 22 is not too young to make a decision like this.

At least Jerusalem is an important site for Israeli Jews. The area of Mount Rushmore had no cultural significance to Americans whatsoever—it was just cruelty for cruelty’s sake.

Stop making such good points, republicans will hear you and go for it!

Also as a joke, it’s so unoriginal. I’ve seen a million of these same jokes about ‘useless stuff they taught you in school’ and they’re all so unfunny and tired—especially after the first time. Say something new.

The degree to which some of you stick your heads in the sand is stunning. How do you even reply to this in good faith? Between the algorithms, mis/disinformation, propaganda, hate speech, bullying, and general bullshit, I don’t understand how someone can either be this naive or this fucking dishonest.

Seriously?! People need to stop making this a west vs east thing. Genocide is wrong—whether it’s the chinese or israeli or us government doing it. I’m so sick of this east vs west discourse, when there have been genocides on both sides of the globe. It’s all evil, and if you can’t say that, then youre the one with a problem.

Wouldn’t a tankie instance have more women?

Your response seems almost defensive, which is weird. Lemmy is definitely overwhelming male. That’s not an inherently bad thing, so I don’t get the defensive tone here or taking OP to task about data methods.

Disagree all you want, but this website is incredibly male dominated. I don’t think OP needs to do a peer-reviewed, double-blind study to say so.

People are downvoting cuz OP said this site is becoming misogynistic plus OP didn’t include the right “sample size.”

But can we be fucking honest? This website is incredibly male dominated. Like why are we arguing this? I woulda figured it was closer to like 95% male users…

And many folks (read: men) on this website don’t like calling out the reality that these heavily male-skewed outlooks can be misogynistic. Like, yeah, you bring tons of men in a room with no women, people will start to say misogynistic shit. It’s not reddit-level bad, but I’ve definitely noticed it.

I’ll never understand the ‘Mexican food gives you diarrhea’ bit. And if it does, there’s probably something wrong with you.

I’m sorry but you’re a clown if you think AI is going to be a tool used to help the little guy. Is like zuckerberg claiming Facebook will help connect and bring us together.

Sorry for your loss but that wasn’t the question… My grandma died tragically, sad stuff, but has nothing to do with anything here. Trauma dumping like this is very strange to me. (Downvote me all ya want kiddos.)

What “spaces on the left”? Where? Every social media site is either run by the far right for the far right or is like lemmy and is at best fairly moderate.

Comments like this prove lemmy is insurmountably better than reddit

Genuinely don’t understand why this is being downvoted.

Wow, really Lemmy? Fuck bothsidesism. Fuck horseshoe theory leftists. Democrats suck, but one side is way fucking worse and causing way more damage. Would bet my life OP sat out the last election and is the literal reason why we’re here in the first place. God I hate tankies.

You actually didn’t watch people get blown up live. The crew survived the fire blast—it was the crash into the water ~3 mins later that killed them.

Because the question was rate your childhood, and they made a very obnoxious answer of basically “no thanks, I’m too special to do that”

What fucking america are you living in? That might be true in some cozy suburb of Burlington, Vermont, but as someone who’s lived in Chicago and St Louis, the “Le Indians” reality is FAR closer to the american experience

I think this every single time I see news about that website. Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform? Insanity.
