Why not? Are you afraid we win some elections if we start worrying about the underlying issue instead of being goaded into the next silly culture war by the powers that be?

Points well taken but can we stop conflating leftism with social issues such as queer acceptance please? Thats at best a tangential piece of the ideology. I want class war not culture war.

Personally i hate that narrative because the ONLY people who would listen to such advice are the very people you need more of, not less. Educated, morally steadfast in the best sense and willing to make a sacrifice on behalf of everyone.

The people voting against their own interests, perpetuating ignorance and hate, love having kids.

It was, but the ticket had been an overwhelming success that saw many people use the train that would use their car before. So afterwards by popular demand similar programs were launched, but ultimately we are a car country ruled by out of touch dipshits, as everywhere else, so we divest from the good and reasonable thing and instead double down on cars, again.

Me neither, i go to almost any length to avoid ads in general. The point was that i still have to use youtube and jump through all those hoops to do it in an acceptable way, because that’s where the content is.

Same as discord, they are less obnoxious with ads than youtube but they are data thirsty mfers. Using a plugin supporting client allows to disable some of that and otherwise obfuscate yourself/getting at premium features, but again i would rather not use it except i have to because everyone is on there.

It’s like youtube. If you wanna watch a video of something, it is most likely on there. Same as discord, if you wanna chat with your mates in a game or join any kind of geek topic centric community they are very likely to have a only a discord for that.

Granted there are options to fight the power such as freetube or vesktop on linux that allow you to use the services while exposing as little as possible of yourself, but you still have to in order to participate in most places.

Porta-potty is a sort of brand name for those nasty, plastic temporary shitters based on chemicals.

If thats your style you could try some suspenders instead of the belt

Personally i would strongly advise you make him find a job on his own, working for someone that isnt his dad (or a friend of the family). Just make sure it is an appropriate job for a teenager that respects him being in education first and foremost.

Personally i just block whatever crosses my feed that i do not ever want to interact with.

LOTS of weird porn, trans or women communities i have nothing to contribute to, the occasional user i personally don’t vibe with. Certain political communities, most america centric news communities, there is tons of things to potentially not be interested in / annoyed with.

Futuristic technologies such as these

At least read the article bro

Dude was autistic and homeless/alone since he was a teenager. Then proceeded to become a beloved part of the community

Some broth, baby you got a stew goin’!

Okay first of all, I’m a lifelong vegetarian german.

Second of all, Mettwurst is most definitely not a qualifier to mean “meat sausage”, it is a certain type of sausage like Frankfurter or Wiener Würstchen.

When people say Wurst or Würstchen it is still understood as a meat sausage unless additional qualifiers are added such as veggie. Sad as it is.

Every time i ride my bike and there is an impatient asshole in a car behind me.

We are in a city, downtown, and the maximum legal speed is 30 kph with pedestrians and other cyclists everywhere, so the fucking carbrain can in fact obey traffic rules for the 2 minutes it takes them for me to reach the next stop and let them overtake.

No need to tailgate me or flash the lights, they wont die from following the rules for a moment. Perhaps they should have left the stupid car at home before going to the most busy and crowded area in town where they cant drive it anyway.

This is obviously in Europe not carland.

Olay my friend, lets start at the beginning:

• someone asks, in a thread about misogyny, why the british government doesnt instead do something trans related first before caring about the cis women
• i respond with the most common and pragmatic political reasons not to do so
• some twat accuses me of being a bigot over this
• i point out that i merely responded
• the twat doubles down on hostile accusations
• we are here 👈

Can we move on now?

Leave it to lemmy to read everything in the most antagonistic way possible. Really getting fucking tired of this place

Are you trying to prove me right? Lmao

Since i apparently need to justify every fucking grammar choice i made on the shitter, i opted for the terms “trans people” and “women” as a matter of expediency and under the assumption the reader would be making a good faith effort to interpret the words as context suggests.

Also, way to ignore entirely what i said for an opportunity to bitch about phrasing.

Okay in case this was not entirely clear, this isnt my opinion, supposedly evident from the term devils advocate. I was merely illustrating the thought processes involved in making women a bigger political priority than trans people.

Leave it to lemmy to read everything in the most antagonistic way possible. Really getting fucking tired of this place

Devils advocate here:

• trans people are far, far fewer
• trans people are a lot less socially accepted
• trans people are not objectively required for the continued existence of a society and/or country
• trans people make for great social lightning rods because they are so controversial

As for the royal pervert, you know as well as i that nothing will happen in that regard. The man is literally royalty.
