  It’s not an attack, you don’t need to get so defensive. It just stood out to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you assume the waiter is a she?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The owner is evil, but anyone who doesn’t tip a waiter that earns too little to be able to afford to live is an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do to help?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a great attitude to have. You can do so much on a local level. Be there for the people around you, and try to notice when someone is not doing well and might need your help. Speak up for those whose voices are not being heard. Being available and protective towards those in your own community who are vulnerable is the least you can do. Some other significant ways you can contribute are:

  • volunteer at organisations that provide food/shelter/harm reduction
  • become a union member and help with the fight towards fair compensation for every worker
  • volunteer at organisations that have a goal of building community and provide safe spaces
  • donate to organisations mentioned above

  Also realise that you do not know what it’s like to be disabled/queer/of an ethnic minority/a person of colour or of another vulnerable group (unless you are a part of that group of course). You need to learn about their struggles before you can effectively help them. You probably already know someone who belongs to one of those groups, now is the time to listen to them and learn from them so you can better vocalise their struggles towards those who don’t understand.

  Also, motivate others to do the same! All hope is not lost, humans instinctively look out for one another and the biggest change is made through helping those around you.

  This is dangerously wrong. Any person can have a huge impact on their own community without changing countrywide politics. It is super important that caring USians start contributing to their communities and help the people that are more at risk of being wrongly prosecuted for living their life. Please volunteer at mutual aid programs, please protest against genocide, please educate the people around you, please make sure trans and queer people are safe, please speak out about racism. And when you witness a nazi victimising someone based on their identity/race/disability/etc, please act and don’t look away.

  Telling people that ‘change is hopeless’ only endangers vulnerable groups more.

  God you people are disgusting. If there was one woman here she would’ve left after seeing your comment.

  If this happened at my school people would thank op for making the assembly less awkward

  While agree with the sentiment, electorialism will never end capitalism because of the power imbalance where capitalists will spend all their money if they need to for heavy propaganda campaigns in favour of capitalism.

  Your energy is better spent on small scale organising your workplace, to make sure that you and your coworkers can actually use the only leverage you have through strikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The word world is literally in the name… When I joined lemmy I started there because I assumed it would be a general instance. It’s like worldnews where 90% of posts are US politics. Also, it’s not an obsession, most times it comes up it’s just a joke (like this meme).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I consider before choosing the right tanga or string to work out with leggings?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is probably not the answer you’re looking for but I’d thought I’d mention it anyways. Have you considered women’s boxershorts? Those are more comfortable when working out and the lines they leave are less pronounced and at a more flattering location.

  Ah that’s unfortunate. The side effects are pretty bad especially with a high dose of

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There can be only one winner⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you take slow release aderall? My aderall is worn off before I go to sleep and I actually sleep better since I take aderall because I spend more energy during the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon scentmaxxes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My ex never used deodorant and he didn’t smell bad. I think for some people it works and for others it doesn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here kitty kitty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Different communities then I guess, I browse ‘all’ a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here kitty kitty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess me being a mathematician makes me notice them more. I’ve seen many in several communities, but me being biased makes me wish there were more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here kitty kitty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think everyone with a niche skill experiences that to some extent. Almost all posts about mathematics on lemmy attract people acting like they understand what’s going on while making wrong claims lol, I only rarely see comments that are fully correct.

  Biden’s immigration policy is honestly a wet dream for most right extremists in Europe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just cited myself.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not an axiom or definition, it’s a consequence of the axioms that define arithmetic and can therefore be proven.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help me out here⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe start by not referring to them as ‘females’ or talking about ‘luring’ them to your room

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-binary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The comment you were replying to wasn’t about the image in the op though. It was a discussion about someone not liking people who do not identify as man or woman referring to themselves as non-binary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-binary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easy to call a discussion silly if it doesn’t affect you personally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-binary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also have you ever considered the fact that maybe you (or other people) don’t really care about gender labels because you were assigned as the gender you prefer? It seems a bit silly to criticise a group who currently faces a lot of discrimination based on their gender preference. Also are you aware that your argument is often used to discredit the experiences of and as a reason to discriminate against people who identify as non-binary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-binary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  so what would you suggest people who do not want to be referred to as man or woman call themselves?

  Idk about the origin of the meme but I can confirm that I know several Polish femboys through European gaming discord servers
