I don't understand the karma hate around here. Obviously farming it is bad (this post sucks, btw), but I like it when number go up.

Yeah, I know this artist has gotten a lot of shit in the past for little reason, but this is truly an absurd take.

If cartoons taught me anything about how to determine the sex of chickens, they've got 4 in that picture.

Got his ass

Literally yes. It's called punching up, and it's pretty well accepted, culturally. It's basically the only trade-off to being vastly more likely to achieve economic and societal status.

Sometimes things are more nuanced than "bad thing is bad". We have thousands of years of history underpinning this conversation, and for most of that time, women were treated like dirt. It is healthy, natural, and human for an underclass to harbor fear and resentment toward its oppressor class. And if the way that is expressed is twitter memes, so be it.

Yes it is! Being robbed or mugged is definitely less traumatic than being raped! Murder is arguable, but it's hard to be traumatized when you're dead. You need to understand that it is okay for marginalized groups (women) to "punch up" at more societally powerful groups (men). You don't judge the nerds at school for talking shit about their bullies.

Misandry is as much of a problem as racism against white people. That is to say, it isn't one. People are punching up or punching sideways, which is fine. It's how you make positively inflammatory political statements.

And bears are fuckin tight! Who wouldn't want to hang out with one?

You are an individual! You do not need to make this general question about yourself! Gahh, it's like trying to talk to myself 10 years ago.

I'm pretty sure every woman I regularly interact with has realized that white men are scarier than men of color, by and large. Have you been paying attention for the last 8 years?

You should "go out of your way" to be a good person, not because of what random people will say about the 50% of the population you happen to fall into.

I'm sorry you're being downvoted. Anyone who disagrees with your comment either didn't read it or refused to understand it. I guess, for the purposes of this thread, Lemmy being predominantly male is outweighing it being predominantly leftist.

What are you talking about? I've never seen a version of this prompt that brings race into it at all.

How is it an insult? Newsflash, you're not "all men" so you have the power to set yourself apart from the ones who are worse than bears. Men who get worked up about this stuff just need to shift their perspective. I know, I used to be one.

Why are people downvoting you? This is basic stuff.

I mean, the fact they rolled it back and didn't just add an error message telling you to use Chrome is a little surprising.

My dream is for Spotify (and other music playing apps) to let you customize your shuffle algorithm. Minimum number of songs between repeating an artist or album, that sort of thing.

Little Joel is kind of a short stack, I guess.

I don't understand the emotion this meme format is trying to convey.
