- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 2 days ago:
I think the “men evil”, “woman good” is just worded to strongly but is generally true (not actually true, but people considered it to be true).
Its more “men dangerous”, “men threatening” and not “evil”. A man in a women’s bathroom is a threat. A women in a mans bathroom is there because there was a line for the woman’s bathroom. The actual reason for those scenarios does not matter, the man will be seen as an invasion and a perpetrator. I have personally experienced examples of neutral situations as well (going to the woman’s bathroom as a man without negative reactions) but the general discourse about the topic is pretty clear.

Food and silence = 100% of seaguls harass you Food and screaming = some seagulls will leave you alone but never all
- Comment on Every time 1 week ago:
For most people wasp=yellow jacket. And Yellow jackets are never frendly. Just sometimes “not outright aggressive”.
I like to ignore them and give them a chance to retreat in peace. If they fly to close to my face though, I will single strike, closed fist, punch them in the head (while flying, not mash them against the wall). It disorients them so much they just fly away. Never got stung while doing it, 100% success rate if I hit them.
- Comment on Not impressed 1 week ago:
Exactly! Everyone in this tread is hating on people that just learned a different “truth”. In 50 years everyone here will be wrong about something as fundamental as the animal kingdom and insist on being right. Science advances and previous truths become false.
There is also the aspect of biological classification not being very useful for everyday live. Do people go “uhm actachully biologically fish don’t exist” every time they see a meal advertised as “fish …”. People can have a concept of “animal” that is different from the taxonomy. And classifying mammals+reptiles+amphibian(+birds) as something different than fish and different than insects is a pretty reasonable classification (based on phenotype and not on phylogeny)

- Comment on Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post 1 week ago:
Bots will simply join the biggest instances. The only solution would be to defederate the main instances and have everyone pretty much host their own server.
the user base will consolidate to fewer and fewer popular instances that are able to address the spam.
You spin me right round, baby, right round 🎶🎶

And if everybody hosts their own server, than so will the advertisers and everybody will have to defederate then individually making the problem of moderation even worse.

- Comment on Andrew Windsor could face private prosecution, Republic says 3 weeks ago:
But what is the crown estate? Is it money the royals produce by their work that wouldn’t exist without them? Or is it capital gains and land ownership that could also just belong to the country directly meaning the goverment would get 100% and not have to pay the sovereign Grant?
- Comment on #environmentalist 4 weeks ago:
Yes that is what I do. I treat them like any other dish I use for eating. The side that touches the food gets scrubbed (also the other side im not gross). And every time I bought metal straws they came with a brush.
I also just love the feeling of metal straws when drinking cold drinks because they also get cold. The drink just feels colder if the straw is also cold
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 4 weeks ago:
Yeah the price for rent should be the amortized cost of upkeep/renovation + some salary to the landlord that is reasonable for the actually work done (which is usually very little).
It should never be enough to pay back a loan the landlord took out to buy the property in the first place.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
I also noticed how every post just has 5-10 random down votes. Like perfectly fine post in the correct community, not controversial, no rules broken, -10 down votes.
- Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription? 5 weeks ago:
Every game with a billion Dollar budget like battlefield will have a turd like EA attached.
If you want to be morally superior and boycott them you will have to make some drawbacks in production quality. No game by an Indie or AA studio can be “almost exactly like battlefield”.

Seems i have to be the autist in this thread and complain about that map. How is that a fair split if D contains 50% of the human population while A has barely 200mil.
Why is it centered on Italy? Why so far north? Any slice going north just touches 2-4 countries while the ones going south can have 30?
I guest there isnt a place to put the center that would weight all sectors equally but cmon this is just lazy
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 2 months ago:
Isn’t a child acting sexually often a sign they were sexually abused? Maybe the problem isn’t gen alpha watching porn, but either more sexual abuse by their parents, or simply more awareness. Sometimes a problem appears new/rising when it was always there, just invisible.

Dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris
There should also be one (Ceres) in Jupiters shadow, right of the planet the arrow is pointing to. Which is Mars and not earth btw …
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
The price to buy housing is influenced by how many people want to buy. People who want to live there are competing with landlords who want to rent out the housing. So it drives up the buying price.
A landlord buying for a higher price will likely try to charge a higher rent as to recoup the investment.
More potential landlords means higher rent prices. Every single landlord is increasing the problem.
- Comment on Resources 3 months ago:
workable
No. It would require guillotining all billionaires, dissolution of a shit ton of wasteful industries (AI for example), vast reduction of meat consumption (which also means closing large parts of the meat industry) …
Basically it requires the rich and powerful to not be rich and not be powerful anymore
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Drinking alcohol habitually is called alcoholism. Any time the consumption of alcohol is a fixed part of your day, you are already over the line. A beer with every dinner? Shots with friends/coworkers after work every day? That’s alcoholism.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
more than a few drinks a weekMore than 0. There is no save amount of alcohol. But almost nothing we do is save. Go outside in the sun? Cancer! Eat fat/sugar? Heart/Liver failure! Stress from work and doomscrolling? Depression and anxiety!
Choose your poison, but know it is poisonous! Cheers 🍻

Nothing green about alcoholism. I enjoy my beer, gin and occasionall hangover but alcohol addiction is nothing to celebrate
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 4 months ago:
Yeah I feel like this runs into the typical problem: you need so much rubber that the weight of the band itself is much much much higher than that of the rocket. So you need to add more rubber band for the rubber band, for which you need to add more rubber band again…
The same as why you can’t build infinitely high buildings. The materials are just to heavy compared to their strength
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 4 months ago:
You can’t lose stuff you bought just because the publisher shut down the servers.
I mean that’s exactly how it works right now. And depending on the exact wording of any laws passed as a result of this petition only the game itself or some or all micro transactions will have to be made available after official support ends.
Public servers will either sell micro transactions themselves to finance servers or make all in game content available to everyone for free. I can see publishers having a problem with that.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 4 months ago:
Most likely, if they are forced to allow public servers after they shut down the official ones, they will pull some other bullshit. Like claim the game is still available, but the 300$ cosmetics you bought are not allowed on public servers because they are separate from the game.
