Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be privileged and safe
  • Israel has been a strategic ally in the middle east for decades. We've been trying to broker peace negotiations with Hamas since forever. The arms deals have slowed, with Rafah being a major point of contention. It's really fun to scream about genocide on Lemmy --the real world is much more complicated.

  • There's just no winning with you guys. There will never be a perfect candidate. How can you not understand that? The fact that I have to argue the difference between a "token of support" versus complete annihilation is so mind boggling stupid. But here we are. Last thing I'll say: Biden is far from perfect but change takes time: It's incremental. There will be no revolution until you get the whole party on board. Good luck with your nihilism.

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • Yes, because those prejudices aren't grounded. The numbers reveal a whole other story when it comes to men/women interaction. Women have to use the biggest kid gloves to even broach this topic to men bc my god....the inherent fragility

    Edit: listen guys. Trying to substitute another minority for the man in the hypothetical is not the dunk you think. I feel like Lemmy is the ultimate male echo chamber sometimes.

    • Over 1 in 3 women (35.6%) in the US have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

    • Nearly 1 in 3 college women (29%) say they’ve been in an abusive dating relationship .

    • 52% of college women report knowing a friend who’s experienced violent and abusive dating behaviors including physical, sexual, digital, verbal, or other controlling abuse.

    Everyone knows at least one woman (unless you're on Lemmy of course) who was abused, raped, or the subject of physical violence by a male partner at one point in their lives. Try to understand why the hypothetical exists, not if meets your logical criteria

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • This here is the biggest woosh that supports the whole thesis of the hypothetical. It was never meant to be a logical hypothetical. It's intended to elucincidate a prevailing feeling among women about what they perceive as safer. The fact that this still has to be explained after so many days is....I don't know.

  • So which is it? He hasn't done anything or he waited too long in his term? How does any of this even compare to the other guy??? Sometimes I wonder if you guys are smoking shrooms because you make no sense

  • What horror story/movie/game/whatever terrifies you even though it's fictional?
  • There was this short sci fi story I think about a lot. I forgot what it's called but it's essentially about some kind of particle (it's physics related) that floats around the universe and has the ability to engulf everything in it's path or something? The story is about the last few hours on earth when one such particle happens to stumble into our solar system. Ill have to dig it up.

    Edit: Found it! It's called "the blue afternoon that lasts forever"

  • Has community engagement dropped off suddenly?

    I don't know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I'm on lemmy.world as my instance.

    Is anyone else getting downvotes for benign disagreements here?

    At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it's the communities I'm commenting on?
