You’re doing great. All reasonable choices. There are many paths to success and you are finding what works for you. Keep up the good work.
- Comment on Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool. 6 hours ago:
Not many are against trans people but rather against the ideology, for example most people are against suicidal ideation while supporting mental health treatment and feeling empathy toward those who are suffering.
- Comment on Is non-sexual masochism a thing? 20 hours ago:
Yes, some of them even get a PhD.
- Comment on What has Critical Theory actually achieved? 4 days ago:
Read the criticisms. Seeing everything as a struggle to dismantle structures of oppression, exclusion, and domination is a mental illness.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 days ago:
Nobody agrees on what those words mean so it’s a confusing question. Clearly he would have had a better chance of winning.
- Comment on what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt? 6 days ago:
It will get easier the more you practice and your bones will get stronger. If I’m uncomfortable I just change positions.
- Comment on How would American culture change if the internet went down? 6 days ago:
There was a time before the internet. It would be like that.
- Comment on if you workout and run, would you recommend a merino wool base or mid layer for autumn/winter? or am I going to break it? 1 week ago:
I like wool for all situations including work outs and base layers and outer layers and just use the cheaper or older clothes for work outs. I don’t care about the brand but look for discounts.
- Comment on What positive things do you expect from Trumps upcoming four years? 1 week ago:
Great question. I expect more people will move away from identity politics and embrace one of its many criticisms such as queer politics which is more inclusive of everyone.
Scholars have identified queer politics as the opposite of identity politics, aiming to unite diverse marginalized groups and transcend traditional categories.
- Comment on Is there any, any takeaways at all from the next 4 years that's about to happen? 2 weeks ago:
You have to find your own sanity. Same for peace, purpose, and meaning in life.
- Comment on Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for pointing this out. I was thinking about the ongoing federal prosecution for 2020 election obstruction.
- Comment on Did 70% of Wisconsin voters just delete their own constitutional guarantee to be eligible to vote? 2 weeks ago:
I see what you’re saying but it is hard to worry about a hypothetical misinterpretation. If you see this happening then you’ll have to vote but until then there’s nothing there.
- Comment on Is this what every election is like? 2 weeks ago:
No it just depends on the candidates. Most have been boring but Obama, Clinton, Trump, Harris were all controversial.
- Comment on Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect? 2 weeks ago:
Basically they had 4 years to get it done but acted far too slowly and now there’s not enough time before he’s a sitting president they won’t prosecute.
- Comment on Could Joe Biden use his remaining time as president of the US to do away with presidential pardons? 2 weeks ago:
No. The president of the United States is authorized by the U.S. Constitution to grant a pardon for a federal crime.
- Comment on Did 70% of Wisconsin voters just delete their own constitutional guarantee to be eligible to vote? 2 weeks ago:
No. These laws are meant to deny noncitizens from voting because they have been legally allowed to vote in local elections in California, DC, Maryland, New York, and Vermont.
- Comment on Trump's eligibility 2 weeks ago:
We have laws and legal procedures for due process and we presume innocence until proven guilty.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 2 weeks ago:
Whether or not you agree, the argument is that the Republican party better supports Israel which continues to minimize casualties in the conflict while defending itself with honor and seeking every diplomatic opportunity for peace which is the best possible outcome for the people of Gaza.
- Comment on If you eat nothing but smoothies, do you still poop? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I’ve tried it. You don’t need fiber either. You will always make some liquid and solid waste even if you water fast or dry fast.
- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 3 weeks ago:
for medical necessity
- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 3 weeks ago:
No. And it makes no difference if it’s mental or physical. Take only what’s prescribed by your doctor for medical necessity.
- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 3 weeks ago:
Great question but you are asking the wrong people as you can see. You won’t find serious arguments or alternative views here.
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 4 weeks ago:
Grossly misinformed. The clown show is what they want you to see. Behind the scenes it’s no longer a show, the clowns are real, the frogs are gay, immigrants eating dogs, and I have concepts of a plan.
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 4 weeks ago:
I want to hear answers from
Sweet summer child. First time?
- Comment on What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever? 5 weeks ago:
You answered your own question because the literal term for a follower of Jesus Christ is in fact the word Christian lol got em.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 5 weeks ago:
Sure it’s the same thing without all the corporate interference. Reddit was small once.
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 5 weeks ago:
Depends on the friend. Some really do care and others are being polite and we may not always know the difference. Attitudes can change as well.
- Comment on What happens when the US runs out of SSNs? 5 weeks ago:
The birth of the buffer overflow will mark the beginning of the apocalypse. Hold onto your gas, guns, and milk.
- Comment on What is the stock market? 1 month ago:
Literally a pyramid scheme. Companies print their own money with extra steps, then compete with each other for your attention about it. Nothing creates value quite like conjuring it freely from the imagination. You can’t make money any faster, so you just give yours to the best money printers.
- Comment on At what point when learning a new language do someone become bilingual? 1 month ago:
Write hello world and immediately slap it on the resume.
