Unfortunately, once you get enough money the system is designed to keep you wealthy no matter how much you fuck up.

Like, Trump has had multiple failed companies including casinos thay failed because he had them competeing with each other.

Yet while he's probably not a billionaire he still has the status of "wealthy" and managed to fail into the most powerful position in government.

Musk had more money, and therefore can fuck up way harder and still be fine. He could burn Twitter to the ground for all the effect it would have on him.

This hurts users actually trying to find help more than it hurts reddit.

You want reddit to die just stop engaging with it. Archiving old info isn't a profitable platform because new stuff drives engagement.

Being active elsewhere is what will kill reddit.

There's a ton of baked in misogyny in the military.

Basically. I know at least two other trans women besides myself from my graduating class.

Stereotypes, all of us 😅

If you think about it mandating masks for food prep makes way more sense.

The girls in the class will figure themselves out eventually

Kids are not your property.

If your kid is trans or gay and they don't feel safe coming out to you then that's your fault. There are no decisions being made. Kids are going to be queer weather you like it or not.

If you think you can "do something" about your kids being queer then that's probably why they don't want to tell you.

Kids are not property. They are their own people and whether you like it or not they can be gay or trans. You can't beat them out of being queer.

If your kid doesn't feel safe telling you who they are the that's on you.

Because bigots have literally tortured their kids over being queer forever. Kids who don't feel safe coming out at home usually have a good reason from fear of abuse to becoming homeless.

I've always lived by lord GabeN's "piracy is a service issue. You have to offer a better experience than the pirates"

The average person doesn't understand decentralizing networks.

For me it was that I didn't have the information I needed to process what I was feeling and deal with what was wrong. I didn't have the language to even describe that something was wrong.

I know many others in my situation that ended up with worse coping mechanisms in the same circumstance. Heavy drinking and drug use is common in the community.

That said, addictions can be physical. There's a reason you have to ween people off of certain substances because withdrawal can kill them.

There can be mental addictions, but older generations don't tend to care unless it's something they don't like.

I don't feel like I was addicted to games growing up, but I know I was using them for escapism. Nobody from the outside would have looked any farther than "you spend X amount a day playing games", and ignore why I felt the need for it.

Too many self important people act like addiction is a personal failing when it's usually somone trying to find some relief in a society that has failed them.

As somone who has used video games as escapism there could also be something underlying that nobody is considering.

Who is he gonna sell it to? Nobody would want it thanks to whay he did to it.

I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.

On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I've gotten it to a usable state in mobile.

I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.

Yep. I'll up vote news of a hate crime or something, but downvote things that are directly hateful.

Context always matters and a lot of the big sites fail to understand the difference between talking about things like racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia and somone being those things.

I generally don't downvote unless somone is being bigoted or hateful.

And here my barely awake trans ass was wondering why the crow was talking about estrogen 😅.

I need coffee.
