As to why, sure it’s patriarchy, but they keep putting out duds and using it essentially say “audiences don’t want female-led content”…

You’ve answered you’re own question - they put it out there so they can say they tried, people didn’t like it, so we’ll continue as we were, with them (patriarchal entertainment execs and the patriarchal capitalists who fund them) maintaining their positions.

The people who complain about this shit are running governments and corporations and controlling society, wtf are you talking about?

You’re really narrowing down a much much bigger issue to try and make it digestible. But the patriarchy is systemic. Misogyny is systemic. Male privilege is systemic. Gamergate is a symptom, and honestly, a mild one at that.

Patriarchy.

Privilege and with it an overinflated sense of entitlement, which result in the most fragile of egos (E: see downvote ration lmao).

That’s at best.

At worst, and on top of the above, is conscious and deliberate misogyny and the unwillingness to give the privileges up.

This is the teeny-tiniest tip of the iceberg, but it sounds like you are willing to challenge your views and perceptions, so jump in, it (E: patriarchy, misogyny, feminism, intersectionality, and on and on…) is a terrifying, but also extremely well documented rabbit hole, just start looking…

War is a Racket

No watch how nothing changes, because it’s all completely deliberate…

They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.

To add to this, if OP doesn’t actually want to become moderator of the community themselves, there are still other options - the instance admins can transfer the community moderation to a third person (I seem to remember there was even a dedicated community for finding new mods to take over dead communities), or they could potentially find a similar community on another instance.

Nothing as American as the exploitation of Black bodies…

Musk is already openly interfering and backing the afd on behalf of the new government he’s taken over (E: never mind zuck and whatever Cambridge Analytica bullshit he wants to pull again with meta, as well as plenty other American media owners and capitalists, without a doubt), wtf are you talking about?

I personally downvoted it because it’s a terrible idea, op wants to leave the US, not sign their life and soul away to it.

Lol, it blows my mind that anyone could still have any confidence left in any MP.

They don’t give a shit about you or the planet

A court [in the UK] has ruled that consent for two new Scottish oil and gas fields was granted unlawfully and their owners must seek fresh approval from the UK government before production can begin.

Which they will get, without a fucking blink, because our government is and always will be for the rich and their interests, and Keith has made it perfectly clear that he couldn’t give two shits about the environment, nor even keeping up appearances that he cares.

Just a point of note - the liberation by outside forces last time wasn’t done for the benefit of those being exterminated (hell, every single one of the allies had a significant part in either rejecting refugees, or actively doing oppressing and outright exterminating of their own before the war even started), but for the benefit of those countries leaders, and finances.

So there might be liberation, but it’ll only exist to enable us to return to “normalcy” which is the capitalist status quo that keeps leading to world wars (because they’re that profitable).

Oh, I get it, I just think it plays in to their rhetoric more than it contradicts it.

They’re grasping at any and every “he’s not a nazi” straw they can find or make up, this just gives them another one to grasp to, because they wouldn’t see or care about your intent, all they see is someone deliberately avoiding directly saying “musk is a nazi” or “what makes him a nazi is…”, which is exactly their tactic and feeds in to their cognitive dissonance.

You’re giving him the degree of separation they’re looking for, which he does not deserve.

So again, I understand what you’re trying to do, but I think that not explicitly saying “musk is a nazi because…” is counterproductive.

Yeah, I get where you’re coming from, and I like your design (though agree it could be a little easier to read) but feel like this is playing in to the “he’s not a nazi” narrative his supporters are trying to push, when he is in fact, a nazi, as well as a regime enabling industrialist. The two aren’t mutually exclusive, and we should be calling the nazi spade a nazi spade at every opportunity.

The worst thing about this is that racists are now going to use it as an example of how cops are “equal opportunity” murderers, not the armed division of the KKK who disproportionately murder Black people they actually are🙄

I’d say he’s the opposite of desperate, I’d say that with trump back in power, he’s mostly excited and enthusiastic about what’s to come.

Thank you! 😂

E: I even said how I can see it being useful in some applications, but fuck, if I’m looking at the date it’s almost certainly to see what day it is today, what day (and maybe month) an appointment is, what day some food is going off, stuff like that. I know what month and year it is right now, and if I want to know the time, I look at a clock, not a calendar. If they love extra and often unnecessary information so much they’re free to use whatever format they want, but I’m good, and so are many others, and they just need to learn to be ok with that lmao

So it’s just adding the American format (which categorically does not demonstrate how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance, but literally the opposite) in to the mix and not providing any help or making things any simpler lol

Thanks for explaining, but if the person who introduced the 1-26 concept in to the conversation (and could have easily just said “MM/DD” to make their point significantly clearer), or the other person with their lecture are actually trying to change my, or anyone else’s mind, or make their personal preference more appealing to others, this (making things more complicated, when they are already perfectly straightforward, just not how they like it) isn’t the fucking way to do it lmmfao
