It is fun when I see a big number and it fuels my ego, though!
Eh, it could help discern trolls (like when a user has -2000 Karma, you know they have dogshit takes and shouldn't be interacted with) and could inspire actually insightful commentary (since it's usually the more ingenious comments that get upvotes). But on the other hand, there are definitely some big cons to having a Karma-like system.
sigh.. I can't believe I'm living in a timeline where I'm hearing the words "giving mics blowjobs" come outta someone's mouth while talking about a fucking candidate for POTUS..
Huh. Personally, I've witnessed Islam really be on a whole other level with the misogyny and homophobia, but maybe that's just me.
What the actual fuck. This is horrendous.
Pro-life crowd, I thought you were supposed to keep life, not end it.
Now there's a man who's a widow, a child without a mother, and a lady who died all for literally nothing.
Fuckin' hell.
Ex-muslim here!
While there are obviously a lot of different interpretations and sects of Islam that have different feelings on these matters, the short and most correct answer would be basically, yes, Islam is one of the most homophobic and misogynistic religions out there.
Most Muslims are extremely conservative in their beliefs when it comes to these topics. I'd say it's honestly safe to assume that most every Muslim you come across is likely going to be a raging homophobe and/or misogynist.
All religions are pretty shitty in my opinion but Islam has been the worst offender and is the most cultish in my experience. There's a site I linked below that goes in depth on things like this, so you might wanna check it out.
Edit: Firstly, this should go without saying, but I don't support the genocide of the Palestinian territories by the IDF. I don't necessarily support the religion but I sure as hell do not support a genocide against innocent people. I don't think my comment suggested I do, but clearing this up just in case before more of yall come into my inbox being all butthurt. Secondly, after reading more responses on this thread, I'm going to leave this here: I'm not and will never be an islamophobe, and I respect all Muslims (even the ones who are queer and/or women and muslim, I will never understand how you could do that though) but, I am extremely critical of the religion, and I think it's not a very healthy one. It isn't up for debate on whether or not Islam is homophobic and misogynistic based on my personal experience growing up as a queer male Muslim who had to hear how even my normally-very-accepting-of-other-people family wanted to "kill all the homos". And I mean, they even say shit like women are intellectually deficient and that you should stone Queer people for... existing. It isn't "IsLAmoPHobic" to be critical of these aspects of the religion, it's 'Islamophobic' to demonize all Muslims for the actions of a few (a.k.a Al-Qaeda, ISIS, or Hamas) or make those weird 9/11 'jokes', but alas, I suppose Lemmy isn't really ready to have this discussion.
Damn, that's one wild ass fetish, mate
He leaves in 2028 and one of his shitbag kids runs
Or JorkusDorkus Vance runs for prez while carrying Project 2025 in his hands.
Basically, soap is not intended for use on the internal part of your body, and will make your whole asshole burn like hell if you put even a bit of it inside...
When I was around 6 I had this really vivid dream of me and my family trying to run away from a spider that was the size of a dumptruck. Eventually it started ending each of us by piercing through our abdomen.
Alternatively, there was a time when (was also about 6 when I had it) I dreamt I was getting run over slowly by a huge car. Everything about these dreams felt real- even the pain 🤣
