The idea of it being girlie to sit down and pee far predates the "domestication" of boys. Additionally, the idea that "if you are a man you have to sit down to pee" is what is attempting to force some kind of social conformity. . . "pee how you like, it has nothing to do with how manly you are" is exactly the opposite.

Yes, noone who has read anything has ever made a mistake in their interpretation.

The only authority cited in the article for this autism diagnosis is the judge.

And precisely zero that indicated the judge came to this conclusion themselves. It's doesn't make sense to assume that the judge would come to this conclusion themselves, so blaming the article for leaping to that conclusion doesn't make much sense.

I don't get why this is sloppy. They didn't say he diagnosed him with autism, only that he said he experiences it.

You jumped to conclusions and are trying to blame them. I certainly did not interpret it the same way you did.

Yup, that's exactly right. On Lemmy you don't even have to log out, blocking someone simply means you can't see their posts. If you don't want a harasser or stalker to see something, and you post it publicly, you're an idiot.

And this is the way it should be... You shouldn't be able to silence someone from responding to stuff you say publicly by blocking them.

"doing real labor" "easy, sweatless, office job" "the actual wheel turners"

"I dislike the condescending attitude"

It never ceases to amaze me how often people see and hate shit in other people that they epitomize themselves.

And honestly, my experience has been the opposite and I see the condescending attitude, at least more openly, coming from blue collar workers more often.

Not interested in the format even when it was still Twitter.

But "go away" is a good counter and you've got me convinced. You're truly adding to the high level discourse here.

it’s more evidence that X caters more to the blockees than the blockers.

I'm not sure I agree. However, even if it's true, I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. If you're saying something in public and I'm not even allowed to hear it, let alone respond to it, because you blocked me, you have an effective tool to shut down any dissent. This is what I saw on reddit all the time, there were posters who would block anyone who disagreed with them and so the comments sections on their posts would become very skewed.

And just the other day, I said that David Duke endorsing Jill Stein doesn't mean Jill Stein approves of David Duke or anything he stands for. Someone accused me of defending David Duke, and when I pointed out that his was fantasy, they blocked me. So I see people blocking for bullshit reasons all the time.

Lemmy is much the same, even less restrictive because you don't even have to log in to see anything. It's better this way.

Yeah but this is musk and we hate him so this is obviously a very bad terrible idea and omg how can anyone still be on Twitter after this...but don't mind that I'm posting this on a site where the block does even less.

I post on a message board that has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Of course, there are always topics that come up that someone has a political opinion about, so occasionally the board devolves into some political bickering.

However, at some point, I realized every time one of the posts became political it was because a conservative brought politics into it. I thought maybe it was just my bias and overlooked it when it was a leftwing/liberal. . .but nope, every time I noticed it getting political from there on out, it was always, without a doubt, a conservative who had to bring their politics into it.

Agree your logic is questionable, at best.

Failed to win either major party’s nomination.

You failed to win the nomination, so by your logic you're a fascist. I can't make sense of this.

And I thought we were talking about the two people who did win the nomination of their major party.

This isn’t a game of “gotcha"

You were clearly trying to pretend you caught them admitting Harris is a fascist. You can't play gotcha and then claim you aren't playing gotcha.

Someone who isn't fascist at all is less fascist than a fascist. This isn't the gotcha you desperately want it to be.

I’m just happy to see users calling out these bullshit articles taking shit outta context.

But what bothers me is that even when the blatant deception is pointed out, you still have a large percentage of people here actually defending such bullshit.

Then don’t. You aren’t obligated to defend him.

Really they are just defending honest assessments of facts. Unfortunately, because the title of the article is so disgustingly disingenuous and blatantly misleading, it led a lot of people to believe his statement is blatantly hypocritical. . .so by pointing out reality you are actually "defending Trump."

You are all but admitting that reality doesn't matter. Sounds exactly like Trump supporters. Please don't be like them.

"loaded"? Lol. It's a blatant lie.

The title is basically a blatant lie, easily shown to be deceptive simply by reading the article.

Yet look at this comments section and how many people have bought the deception hook, line, and sinker.

We shit on Republuicans for being idiots who support Trump, which is true, but it's almost like we are trying to out-stupid them.

Go out and do an informal poll of the people you know and ask them who they think is a worse human.

If one has more power, they are likely to do more harm in the world, regardless of how shitty they are of a human being. While I have no love affair with Cheney, he is not the absolutely piece of human garbage that Duke is.

You think that people here are defending Cheney, but really it's you defending Duke.

Are you suggesting that Cheney and Duke are equivalent?
