  • If you're using browser you can add this to your adblock custom filters. Just make sure the instance matches the one you're using so incase of OP, replace lemm.ee with lemmy.world

    lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))

  • I can't imagine why they would have phones of any kind, let alone smartphones. If there's any truth to this article I'd say it's the Russians who went like 'Oh, you've never seen porn before? Well check this out!'

  • I haven't ever needed to wait. I go in, hand them my ID, they cross my name off the list, hand me the ballot, I go to the booth and write a number, dude stamps it, I drop it to the box and I'm out. Takes about 3 minutes from when I step out of my car untill I'm back in again.

  • the assumption that their compliments are all or mostly insincere

    I disagree that this is being claimed here. Stereotypes don't imply that everyone, or almost everyone in that group is like that.

  • I hope people realise that simulation theory doesn't actually imply that someone is actively micromanaging the simulation. The point of a simulation kind of is to just let it run and see what happens.

  • Sure, and not just that. Most, if not all people I know of whom I'd consider a 'normal' don't spend time commenting on social media. By definition, everything we read on here comes from this self-selecting group of people who do not represent the majority.

  • That user is on my blocklist so I haven't seen their comment and I was asking you anyway.

    incorrect stereotype

    I'd argue it's not, in fact, incorrect. Sure you can say it is but that doesn't really prove anything. Stereotypes stem from reality.

    if you swapped either or both of the characters in the comic out for men, it would no longer work as a joke.

    Ofcourse it wouldn't. It's a stereotype about women. If you made the same joke about men it wouldn't be funny because it would be completely made up. Equivalent joke about men would be two guys being nasty and talking shit to eachother but neither actually meaning it.

  • Not all women, no, but some definitely are. Stereotypes come from reality. While they don't apply to every individual, it does apply on a group level especially when compared to other groups. If this was completely made up nobody would find it funny. People find it funny because there's a kernel of truth there. It's not misogynistic to aknowledge that women as a group act differently to men.

  • It's a stereotype about women complimenting eachother while not actually meaning it. It's a joke. Look at the upvote / downvote ratio. Most people get it. You're in the minority here being offended by it. Recreational outrage so to speak.

  • My blocklist is already over 500 users long. I don't block people for disagreeing with me. The bubble I'm building for myself is a bubble free from unreasonable assholes.

    However, you didn't really answer my question. Blocking an entire instance is already a feature. That's way more 'heavy handed' than what I'm suggesting.
