  • Who called you a bigot?

    My comment:

    But you do you if you’re okay supporting potential bigots.

    Idk how to address this without being snarky, but maybe work on reading comprehension. I'm calling the podcasters you don't research potential bigots, not even bigots, potential bigots. Which is to say I'm not condemning them or you to being bigots but you don't know whether they are or not without researching it, therefore they are potential bigots. You are not a bigot, the podcasters you don't research are potential bigots.

  • on both sides.

    Lmao, I knew it was coming.

  • Most of my life we never cared about this kind of stuff

    You just described privilege very nicely, well done. Other people have to care about this stuff or we lose human rights.

  • K, you should. To make sure you're not supporting a piece of shit by giving them your time, clicks, and views. But you do you if you're okay supporting potential bigots.

    It's not even a high effort task, just find the name of the podcast and add "political leanings" or something similar in the web search. It's the minimal effort required to be an informed consumer.

  • Man everything is political these days

    Always has been.

  • Awesome write up! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

  • I love that this headline is followed by the "moderator" and "admin" tags by OP so that it looks even more official. Like yes, this is a normal unit of measurement, so says the admin lol

  • I thought garlic bread is for the asexuals and we have lemon bars.

    Idk I've heard garlic bread used in a lot of communities from trans, asexual, to pan and bi. I don't think I've ever heard/seen the lemon bar memes though. 🤷

    Bisexuality has a long history. I think it’s really interesting and I really enjoy diving in.

    You're right and I probably should've gone into a longer list of celebrities to look into for different perspectives on bisexuality than just David Bowie. He's just the first pop culture reference that personally comes to my mind. It goes all the way through history though. Ancient Greece, Rome, Japan, and China all have records talking about the practice of bisexuality in that society (even if they called it by another name). Then in more recent memory there's Bill Beasley, of course, Alan Rockway, and many more names that you can find digging deeper into bisexuality's more modern history... I'm on mobile so linking directly is kind of a pain 😅

  • Meme wise? Garlic bread, frogs, and sitting in chairs the wrong way.

    Real world culture? Maybe watching some David Bowie documentaries, he might be the most famous bisexual that I know of. But he's also not the definition of what bisexual is. It's more of a spectrum in and of itself, as it manifests differently for each individual. Like for me, I'm bisexual but in a monogamous relationship which would not work for other bisexuals and that's okay. Explore yourself to find what bisexuality means to you.

    Real talk, meditation helped me discover myself and what my gender/sexuality meant to me. Just being with myself, my inner thoughts, and listening. I know that meditation doesn't necessarily work for everyone though, so you may need to find another way to explore yourself. But that's what worked for me so just sharing my method.

    I wish you luck in your journey of self discovery, happy to help where I can even if our journeys aren't identical 😊

  • Thanks for all the work you do for this space to thrive! Is there anything community members can do to assist other than not being jerks?

  • Idk maybe, I implied I don't use Kbin with that comment from 25 days ago. Not sure why you'd ask me tbh.

  • I'm glad you're liking it! If you haven't already I really recommend checking out the audiobook books. They've helped me a lot with the odd pronunciations but the narrative atmosphere is awesome too!

  • 3 hour deep dive of book screenshots and debunking coming soon to a YouTube channel with single digit subscribers near you

    You gotta link the channel because if you just post it to Lemmy I might miss it

  • And no, Gimp is not a good replacement if anyone goes there.

    This always makes me laugh when people suggest it. Like, CMYK support didn't get introduced to Gimp until 2022 ffs, and it's not even full support.

  • Looking at the comments I'm so happy Beehaw has an overall good take on this subject. With progressive mindsets it seems 50/50 whether they agree with protecting cats and the environment. There is so much science that shows having cats be outdoors not only decimates local fauna but also increases mortality of the cat up to ~80% (over the years I've seen studies on that subject ranging from 67% to 85%). Keep your cat inside if you care about it, if it's bored you're not playing with it enough or don't have a good environment for it to explore and keep entertained. Pay attention to your cats.

  • Data gained through integration of an instance is far more than what's gained in scraping. The data gained through federation will no doubt increase as Meta adds new features that require more data in order to federate with them. They have over a decade of evidence showing us they're evil and have no respect for privacy or people. I do not understand your logic in saying it's okay to federate, it's like watching somebody defend an abusive partner. They've hurt you and communities in the past, stop giving them more rope. The devil does not need an advocate.

  • Thank you for this awesome resource!! I've been wondering a good way to find merchants like these and this takes care of a lot of searching 😄

  • Ha, I didn't even realize it was out.

    That's what happens when the core DC audience rejects the movie because you refuse to recast the garbage human that's playing the protagonist. As an Enby, Ezra makes me even more angry because when you mention non-binary they're typically the first celebrity that comes to mind for a lot of people. I'm glad that they're likely never going to be able to land any more large movies like this.
