Hello. My first time here. As the title says, this is my first “thread” creation here. What are some things I should watch out for when I post here? Am I even allowed to create a thread even though this is my first time here? Or are there rules like Karma points, like in Reddit? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. And...
Welcome! “Mainstream” Lemmy is very left leaning and can get as easily triggered as very right leaning communities. It’s not a free world. More forgiving than Reddit, but your posts/comments can and will get blocked if they don’t conform to the beliefs of the community.
I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn't working. They said I didn't have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn't the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested...
Often times people with jobs that don’t involve a lot of human interaction have those jobs for a reason. They maybe don’t enjoy it or aren’t good at it. There’s also the gatekeeping aspect and the bootstraps (no pun intended) way of thinking. I had to do it this way and it was hard for me so you have to do it like that too. Also, lots of people losing jobs, the industry can be more competitive now. Good luck!
What a messed up situation. Can’t win. Either US takes over, far right dictators rule or some other country like Israel invades. You choose the best of the worst.
I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

Mentally ill. What’s the prison system like in Australia? In the US this person could spend years in prison only to leave a more radicalized individual with more Nazi friends.
I know for a fact that this exists and even has an explanation, peer-reviewed studies and so on. But on the last few months I've felt attracted (and I mean real attraction, not just 'she's cute, she's nice, she would be a rational choice') to women just to find out later that she's already in a relationship. Of course if I don't...

Wow I’m shocked you have no downvotes. I totally agree but Lemmy seems to hate internet restrictions, especially porn. Don’t come for their porn. They’ll destroy you.
Doesn’t have to be cow shit tho. There’s no foresight or empathy. You’re just making these poor laborers clean up after your protest that does nothing except make you feel good about yourself thinking you’re modern day Rosa Parks.
You literally can’t think of better ways to protest that wouldn’t involve people probably making less money than you picking up feces? That is sad and why this group and those you support will make no progress.
Using poor people as your pawns to make some edgy point using anima feces is worthy of a class war in itself. You’re not helping the poor. You’re helping the middle class.
That’s such a privileged point of view. The people who are affected by this did not consent to being part of their shitty protest. They very likely could not afford (in more ways than one) to go on strike.
Leftist dog whistles to distract from the fact that you’re just as bad as the other side forcing low paid laborers to clean up shit so you can play revolutionary and not even do a good job at that.
If you wanna be cute I guess you can say caffeine. But, I'm really looking for what the average boomer would consider a drug. For me, its psilocybin mushrooms a few times a year. Weed here and there too
The article does little to explain the law and its motivation.
Hate crime charges are completely different because they enhance existing charges. Would this then eliminate the degrees of murder? If murder of a woman then instantly life vs murdering somebody else and then deciding if first, second, etc.? I supposed you’d have to prove it’s femicide just like a hate crime?
I support this, I’m just curious. Thanks for the discussion.
Soundtrack for these dark times?
