It’s like when you tell everyone your new years resolution and they all go “wow you’re really courageous, well done on turning the new leaf”. Your brain goes “ok, got my recompense for that, no need to put more effort in there” and bye bye resolution.

6 weeks paid holiday, compensation days for longer work week, protection from unfair dismissal, free health care, 3 months maternity/1 month paternity leave…
Not saying that there’s nothing left to do, but over the last 100 years things have definitely gotten better.
The real risk is forgetting that these things were hard won and that if you give people a chance they can easily be lost again.
I read somewhere that people in Asia won’t tilt on things like eye or hair colour being different immediately since their so used to black hair/brown eyes that they just filter it out and use other cues.
This also means that people who look identical to say a European are considered to look nothing alike.

My kids use it in clubs, and it’s great for getting algorithmic basics down before the keyboard proficiency is there for real coding.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I get started with game development? (Godot specifically)
13·2 years agoSorry (ok maybe not) but Godot uses an internal script that resembles Python, with optional .net bindings.
The .net bindings are c# native.
You could use f#, but if you’re still learning the ropes that’s setting yourself up to fail, since it’ll limit the use of documentation and add a high hurdle to clear

8·2 years agoWhy the down vote? Average age in gaza is 19 (yes mean is not median but still). This means that you have a good chance that a large proportion of those killed were kids (and almost all weren’t of voting age last time gaza had an election).

Men's Liberation@lemmy.ca•Wear pink but don’t cry - "Men under 25 are less likely than their elders to feel comfortable hugging another man or weeping in front of them. What happened?"
163·2 years agoFor me this is the crux of the issue:
To Galloway, neither the left nor the right — which can seem compelling to rudderless young men — are providing a genuine alternative. “The far right conflate masculinity with cruelty,” he says, referencing Tate and Vladimir Putin. “The far left thinks that men should, quite frankly, act more like women. Neither of those is productive.”
Men, especially young men, today are stuck in a no man’s land where they know that the toxicity of the past is not what’s socially acceptable, but no one’s giving them a model of what they can be. They are collateral damage of the culture wars.
Andrew Tate (just writing that name feels dirty) and his clique are exploiting this to cultivate hate and toxicity, but the traditional feminist approach that “Men should get in touch with their feminine side” will leave them isolated socially from their peers and emotionally.
The middle road will not be feminine and won’t be the traditional masculine role that’s still very present in culture, but will be a place where men can confidently own their vulnerability.
Edit: spelling

Men's Liberation@lemmy.ca•‘There Was Definitely a Thumb on the Scale to Get Boys’ - Declining male enrollment has led many colleges to adopt an unofficial policy: affirmative action for men.English
6·2 years agoWell no, but Title IX was only ever fair as a stop gap measure until various groups can get their footing anyhow (eg to counter act the issues that red-lining are still causing).
If there’s declining male enrollment, the solution is going to be to look earlier in the school system to work out why buys aren’t getting as much as girls out of class and looking to fix it. IIRC, one idea was to have boys start school a year later to counter the developmental age gap.
In any case, tipping the scales at the university level is only ever going to mask the problem. I understand the need, but by itself it’s not going to work long term.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one show you wish wouldn't have gotten cancelled when it did?English
113·2 years agoHonestly? With the benefit of hindsight, I’m actually pleased it wasn’t given the chance to become a Dollhouse.
The movie gave closure, and we left the characters in a good place.
Dollhouse gave us 5 seasons of content in one, and ruined itself in season 2, and many other shows have just run until everyone was sick of them, before getting an anticlimactic ending anyway.

Men's Liberation@lemmy.ca•Vulnerable young men, masculinity and extremism | The Strategist
61·2 years agoThe answer is in the article I think.
These groups thrive in the void that is self help for men.
The classic feminist discourse doesn’t speak to men as it was designed by and for women to allow emancipation.
The disconnect with classical feminism is best evocked by the trans community where trans men explain how surprised they were at the reality of being a man in today’s world.
There isn’t much if anything around to help young men learn how to be a man in the 21st century, so they are inevitably drawn to the simple but toxic solutions people like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson provide.
This void used to be filled with the pick-up artist community, so this issue isn’t new.
The obvious counter would be for feminist groups like ours to also provide non toxic solutions to the issues boys and men face so that they can go into the world.
There is a way to be manly and tolerant and express your needs and wants healthily. We’re learning it the hard way. We need to make it easier for the next generation. I’m saying this as a father of 3 boys.
Pet peeve, but even the name feminism is going to be a hard sell when you’re trying to explain to boys how to be men.
No because that requires installing a rootkit on your machine as part of their anti-cheat system.
