I like how being able to drive a car has become the metric that decides if you are retarded or not. Like come on. Cars are killing the planet and even if they weren’t they are the most dangerous form of transport by far. Stop hyping cars.
Also you can have physical issues, coordination issues or attention issues that make driving difficult, but can still be more level headed than the average person.
They mean neuroatypical, which is the same as neurodivergent. Just decided to spell it weirdly for some reason.
Neurotypical means literally none of those things, it’s the exact opposite. I think you mean neurodivergent or neuroatypical. Aneurotypical is basically a misspelling of the latter.
Yes you were, just take the loss
I can’t see them saying this at all. The only person treating people as not being people here is the way you treat men. If you discriminate against a group of people as is clearly happening here towards men, then of course that group is going to turn against you. You don’t remove sexual assault by pretending men are the only perpetrators and never a victim. You don’t remove sexism by adding discrimination against men.
You don’t get it at all. Creating this kind of system for only one gender is discrimination. It’s exactly the same kind of thing you see white supremacists doing because they only want to be sat next to other white people. It’s this kind of behavior that drives men to sexism in the first place. How you don’t see this after it’s been explained to you is shocking. It’s also hilarious that people only talk about men assaulting women and never about women assaulting women, women assaulting men, or men assaulting men. Not only does it not reflect the reality of sexual violence, it’s also heteronormative and sexist. Pretending that only men have the power to be abusive, and that women are always the innocent part is sexist thinking.
Bruh they are making at least one good point here. Meanwhile you are trying to do a character assassination and make baseless accusations. Fucking stop it.
This is actually reasonable. If you explained it this way in the first place maybe people would have stopped being pissy and taken you seriously. Before this comment your position seemed flimsy, but comparing it to racist practice made it make a lot more sense.
While I don’t agree with the idea that isolating someone from women on a plane will make them rape someone else somewhere else, I think your point about alienation driving extreme views is very pertinent. The more you try to vilify a group the more that group will try and make it a self-fulfiling prophecy, or otherwise go against the people vilifying them.
Unless you already have prions from CJD you can’t catch Kuru by eating yourself. You have to actually eat someone who already has prions to catch it. Even then you have to eat nervous system tissue to be at a significant risk.
How is this any way self-harm? To be clear we aren’t talking about growing a whole person here as you seem to be confused. We are talking about a few cells in a petri dish or vat. This is all just psychobabble nonsense. You’re the one here who shouldn’t be in polite society.
Yes and no. You get prions from eating a person that’s also infected with prions. Basically if you eat cloned meat of yourself it should be fine as you either already have prions, or you don’t already have prions. Prions manifest as either CJD if you got it naturally or Kuru if you got it through canibalism.
I think that has more to do with your system and the quality of Bluetooth audio than it does the specific game or application.
This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.
Anatomically the external part of the clit is the same structure as the dick in a male. So I am guessing that making it penis sized would result in the same sensitivity as a regular male penis.
The irony being they are actually correct in some cases. Lots of leftists want to destroy the state, and national borders in favour of a unified world. You also have tankies that want death to America specifically, and honestly I can understand the feeling.
Why doesn’t lemmy at least have pinned comments and flairs? Seems like a serious omission to me.
Okay I am not going to lie I am pretty lost as to what you are saying here. I read this twice and I am still confused.
What does working on open source projects have to do with the culture war? Also what do you mean by culture war? Do you believe like some leftists do that it’s all a distraction? Or do you think like the right wing do that it’s a leftist conspiracy to changes some countries values? Or another third thing I don’t know about?
Who is an American uniparty?
By new Microsoft do you mean how they have changed with regards to Open Source? I mean they actually release open source software now, and don’t fight as much against Linux and other communities. Presumably because they realised they can’t fight Linux. Do you think this is a bad thing? They obviously aren’t a benevolent force for good, but I personally prefer the new attitude to the old one at least.
The solution would be to beat them at their own game. Build a radical left propaganda machine - like Star Trek or Doctor Who on steroids.
Having to deal with a drug dealer that wants to also sell you actually addictive drugs is the gateway.
Marijuana is addictive though. Maybe not as addictive as some other things, but pretending it’s completely non addictive is disingenuous and misleading. It’s more addictive than say LSD or psilocybin for example.
That isn’t to say it should remain illegal though. Legalisation has positive benefits even for harder, more addictive substances than marijuana. See the history of alcohol prohibition for example, or the disaster that is the war on drugs.
People don’t drink because it tastes good. People drink it because they like getting high and alcohol is one of the few legal drugs you can do. People who drink it because it’s the cool thing to do are being idiots.
If alcohol isn’t your thing you should probably get out there and try other drugs. The good thing about drugs is how many different kinds there are. There really is a substance for almost everyone if you look hard enough. Now if only stuff was legalized and people didn’t abuse it to the nth degree and get themselves in trouble.
Edit: also forgot to mention that brewing is probably the easiest and cheapest way to make a psychoactive substance known to man, and is an entire hobby people (such as myself) have. While lots of homebrewers spend money on fancy equipment and ingredients you don’t need to spend much at all to make alcohol that will get you drunk it can literally be done using a used plastic bottle and a fucking balloon. You can make pretty drinkable stuff with even fairly basic equipment like a hydrometer, couple of plastic or glass fermenters, yeast + nutrients ordered online, and supermarket ingredients.
