Most young men and women choose not to date. "Choosing the bear" isn't limited to one gender. And yes, I understand it, at least partially. It's rough out there.

It is horrible how some people treat others, but it is not my responsibility or prerogative to police others actions. There's nothing wrong with being single, and not dating is a personal choice which I would never criticize, but blaming 50% of the population for the actions of a minority is the definition of bigotry.

It breaks my heart that things are becoming more hostile and hateful. I hope I live to see the pendulum swing the other way.

I've had a few of my "check out lemmy.ca" posts deleted there and frankly I don't see how it breaks reddit TOS. They're just bitter.

I've been posting lemmy on reddit, and have gotten a few bans for my trouble.

I welcome the bans.

Easily done, I already avoid them.

Japanese workers get more days off than American workers.

Japan 26

USA 10

Japanese on average don't work longer than Americans (2017)

#39 United States 1,765.00

#43 Japan 1,738.36

Don't get me wrong, they have a crazy work culture, but it's worse in the USA.

Even without capitalism you need production, and children used to be part of that. Back then you would have as many kids as you could so that they could run your farm.

I'm not defending the current system, but profit isn't the only reason the birthrate is declining in so many countries.

Had me in the first half lol

Japanese are very against violence, and incidentally it's the safest first world country. And the work culture has been improving in the last decade or so - though not nearly fast enough.

Japans GDP has been almost flat since the mid 90s, they are not following the west's """infinite""" growth. Not that I'm saying capitalism isn't part of the problem, it absolutely is, just saying it isn't the entire story.

Humans are all different. It's difficult to accurately generalize them. Some people like only fans, but for other people it does literally nothing for them.

To each their own.

Tell that to the french

~2 days without food, for most people, I assume

Internet is going to be internet, but this place is like 10% as adversarial as reddit from my experience so far. I haven't even had anybody DM me to end myself yet. At reddit I got those for saying my favorite game was Total Annihilation.

Less true in other languages. Twitter was big in Japan where 140 chars goes a bit further.

It's also one of my favorites.

I think your assessment is optimistic.

He'll ruin the gov like he ruined X

Hey thanks, I do lean a little hard on the self deprecating humor sometimes.

Reddit has been getting worse for years, and the comments there are so adversarial and insincere.

Users definitely can get sick of bad sites, what happened with X shows that. Their user base is a small fraction of what it was a few years ago.

I'm definitely liking it here though!

More like I have no personality and just go with the flow 😜
