These guys want to be like Russia and other ‘strong men’ led countries so bad, let them have a Russian economy, and the same worldwide product ‘dominance’ as Russia too.

That’s what I learnt the origin of the word was.

It was a repeat of #MenAreTrash and a little bit of #MeToo using different words this time. And just like any other time there is an awareness campaign that highlights the general statistics and truth of things, instead of inspiring men to take a stand and push for any change or correcting of shitty, toxic behaviour; the so called loud minority rushes in to say “not all men” and defend the status quo while the so called silent majority lets them.

Just fyi, you accidentally included that last bracket in the url, so it doesn’t load properly at first. Haven’t checked out misskey yet (I think I’ve seen it mentioned but barely) but it definitely looks interesting and worth a closer look.

As for groups, there’s just no way of properly browsing them. It seems like your only option is to scroll through a chronological feed of random posts by groups until something catches your eye. Or to know the name of what you’re looking for so that you can specifically search it. But there’s no obvious list of groups to browse through.

Yeah, I thought I would try the biggest or most obvious server first. Not really a big deal yet though, I’m still just checking the place out. And IMO it’s not really in a state where you can start recommending people to switch over from Facebook yet. It needs something better for groups or pages. And the photo uploading and album management is pretty archaic and bare bones still. So I’m just keeping an eye on it for now until certain things look more attractive for non tech enthusiast users.

Not shitting on it though. It’s a complicated type of platform to put together and it’s clearly still WiP. But not ready for mass adoption yet. Especially if new users are going to be trying it only for their posts to go nowhere after a week.

Damn, that definitely looks very cool. Probably expensive too lol. But exactly what these touchscreen phones need.

Welp, 9 down, 1 to go. So much for that Lois theory lol. I thought she would be the one character that actually uses their brains this season. Frankette was suspiciously absent though, guessing she’s going to be somehow involved in taking the Luthors down.

One week later and I still have posts marked as “delivery to remote servers pending”…

Especially for gaming. My old Nokia N81 kicked this rectangular piece of glass’s ass when it comes to gaming because I could actually comfortably play games that weren’t turn based and didn’t need to slap an overlay onto the screen.

Well yeah. Stolen from Lemmy from someone that stole it from Luke McGarry. Or more likely stolen a dozen times before it ended up on my phone lol.

Cringe is teenagers and 20 somethings hero worshipping Joe Rogan and supporting right wing christian nationalists. Lamest fucking generation around. Even boomers had a hippie phase before becoming old and bitter. Gen Z just skipped that and went straight to the conformist bootlicker phase.

Pretty sure I stole this one from here on Lemmy.

I need to shop around for apps again and find one that allows you to hide communities from the feed instead of outright blocking them. Because I’d like to still visit the onehundredandninetysix community from time to time, just not have it showing up in feeds. Because especially in Blåhaj, it just overpowers everything else in the local feed, so you barely get to see the topics that the instance actually revolves around. And now there’s fucking two of them.

No sympathy here. If you ever thought in the first place that the right wing christian nationalists were really all about freedom, then you’re a dumb piece of shit and the only way that you’ll learn about how fire works is to get burnt by it. I’m not even exaggerating. These people didn’t trick everyone with some master plan, they were calling for the rights of entire groups of people to be stripped away and wanting to force their one religion onto everyone whether they like it or not all along, openly.

If that is your definition of ‘freedom’, then you don’t even know what basic fucking words mean. And it’s no wonder you are so easily fooled by greasy fucking slimeballs that anyone with at least half a brain could see weren’t on the level from a mile away.

I feel really bad for the people who have to share a country with these fucking clowns that are going to suffer too. But as far as these red hat mouth breathers go, I hope they suffer like never before. Hopefully they drop dead like flies too so that they don’t just vote for the same fucking people next time.

Yeah there’s no good reason for a limit. Having no character limit doesn’t stop people from making short posts if they want. If they don’t want long posts taking up half the page, then they should just hide the rest of the text behind a ‘see more’ prompt once it goes over 300 characters.

On a platform like Bluesky I can kinda understand if they limited replies to posts to 300 characters, so that people don’t get walls of text in their inboxes but the original top post should be unlimited IMO.

I used to think a future with cyborgs would be pretty cool but personally, I’m not so hot on the idea anymore. The problem is that you would be beholden to whichever corporation or government manufactures and pays for parts. And who is to say that the support for whichever product that you’ve surgically implanted will be for life, and that you won’t end up with useless landfill electronics sewed up inside of you.

Personally I think that if AI was ever made with altruistic purposes, that could fill the role of things like complex calculations and extra memory or a log. And good Augmented Reality could fill the role of interacting directly with entertainment and blocking out the outside world. And maybe one day there would be effective ways of interacting directly with computers through electrodes or even wirelessly. Although who knows how our privacy would be invaded then. There could be literal thought police in that case.

The problem is that the tech will always come from someone else. Imagine integrating this kind of tech into your life on such a deep level and then the person in charge of over seeing and maintaining this tech turns out to be an authoritarian nazi.

• Poison Ivy has been kinda annoying me these last two episodes. But I guess your child dying is as good a time as any to act a bit out of character and do stupid shit.

• Honestly glad that Harley’s father got killed. What a piece of shit. To him I say 👍.

• Starting to get the feeling that while all of this is going on, Lois is off somewhere trying to make contact with Superman. And that they’re gonna arrive in the 11th hour to turn the tides.

Do people think that the more specific labels and variations are the reason for the hate? Because as someone who only actually started looking up terminology and familiarising myself with the people late in life, and has walked amongst closed minded conservative people, they don’t know or care about anything outside of ‘gay’ or ‘trans’. Even non-binary is an alien concept to most.

It doesn’t matter what the label is or what the colours are, people who hate anything out of the norm are going to hate anything out of the norm regardless. Especially when they’ve been raised in a religion that teaches them from childhood that anyone out of the norm is going to burn and suffer for eternity. They don’t do research so that they know what they’re talking about and they don’t bother to ever actually get to know any of the people they claim to hate. They just like to hate.

If they weren’t going after trans people right now, they would be going after gay people. And you can bet that’s next anyway. Have people already forgotten how gay people were treated before trans people were the target?

To me it would make much more sense if this was the other way around. In other words, healthy men having higher sperm counts, not higher sperm counts leading to healthy men. Because you the way this study is framed, you could also link heart health to average lifespans.

Just fyi, if you want the actual hashtag to show up, you need to put a backslash () before it.

Personally, I fucking hate when markup only requires one symbol because it means you need to add a fucking backslash every time you actually want to legitimately use that symbol. And it’s kinda anti user because people who aren’t that clued up about how the markdown works are going to be wanting to make their posts in a particular way and end up with weird unexpected shit like bolding and resizing. I hate it. It should at the very least require a hashtag on either side of what you want to resize.
