Finally something reddit is good for: the competitive circle jerk

I mean, that’s most of the settlements in the Gaza Strip, so…

Or doctors who “correct” infants who are born intersex

Don’t focus on a national scale, focus more locally. Look at state legislatures. Look at mayoral and school board races.

Brigading 100% still happens. I’ve seen it here on Lemmy just in the past few months.

Also, I have absolutely banned people from coming to my house for Christmas dinner. It started as relatives that have decided that their political beliefs extend into my bedroom, and can’t seem to keep their damn mouth shut about it. But now it’s a “if you are a regular Fox News viewer you are not welcome in my house for dinner” policy because over the past several years I’ve noticed that every single person who meets that criteria has had the same issue. Could there be a person out there who is a Fox News watcher and can keep their mouth shut? Sure. But I’m not willing to risk my own mental health for the sake of “being inclusive”.

Yea, that’s the idea. I don’t care what opinion you have about the legitimacy of trans people in a sub meant for trans people to support each other. Not every sub is meant to be a place for “free debate”. In fact, there are some places where debate is not appropriate or welcome. Like you wouldn’t walk into an AA meeting and try to debate the health benefits of wine.

Especially places that are meant to be safe spaces for marginalized groups, this is really important.

It’s a common way of preventing a lot of harassment in some subs, and it’s done by a bot most of the time. For example back in the the day posting in T_D meant a ban in some of the trans subs I was in. The point was that if you’re posting in T_D, then the chances of you coming into a forum for trans folks to harass them was pretty high. It was easier and safer to just ban those folks outright before they began messing with people.

I don’t think so, I think you have to spin the power switch in the back of the bot. But still!

“Convenient Downtown Locations” assumes that there is ample public transit to and from those locations. For example, we took a train into Chicago from a small town in Iowa. There was absolutely no public transit going to that station. It was literally a 2 hour drive to the station, and that was the closest train station to us. Additionally, once we got there, we found out that our train was running 6 hours late. This wasn’t communicated to passengers until it was about 30 minutes from the scheduled departure time. This was for a train ride that took 4 hours, and was the same cost as a plane ride that would have been about 45 minutes, and the airport was about a 25 minute drive from our home.

We could have driven the whole thing in 4 hours and it would have been about 1/4 the cost.

This is the same competition where there’s a cash prize for turning off the house bot IIRC.

I used to play a ton of Escape Velocity back in the day. I still consider Nova to be one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. Naev is ok, pretty good even, but it’s not quite up to what Ambrosia did with EV.

Is there a source here?

This is quite literally the website that Trump is holding up as his plan if he wins in 2024. So while you’re right, it doesn’t speak for half the nation. It does speak for what could be the people running the country see as their goals though.

Yes. And I don’t care about how people who support Republicans justify their votes or why they’re voting that way. At the end of the day, the Republican Party is pushing to commit genocide against the trans community. It’s like saying “I don’t support murdering the Jews, but the Nazi party is so good for the economy”. It doesn’t matter WHY you support them.

FWIW, the east way to find the genocide is to look for people who support banning gender-affirming care. It would be the equivalent of banning antidepressants for people diagnosed with depression.

I’m trans. I was happy to view those on the right as “just people who I disagree with”…until they started pushing to eliminate people like me.

If you read the article, it says they don’t actually know who fired, but that they “told Hamas that Hamas will assume all responsibility for any attack that comes from Southern Gaza”. So more IDF BS.

What makes you think only people with admin access use a machine? He wouldn’t allow it for anyone, admin or not.

I was talking with a sysadmin once who intentionally removed nano and emacs from any system he was granted access to. His explanation was “if they can’t use vim I don’t want them on my machines”

Nobody told them about Herman Cain huh?

Looks like another convenient delay for the Cheeto
