I really don’t like short-form media. Sure, these people have always existed, but this really promotes it. There’s no room for lengthy explanations either in the video or outside of it in text form.
Say what you will about blogs or youtube, but at least people have text space to add citations and references.
Yeah that’s my situation. I’d try to avoid political discourse and just pretend to ignore their views, but over time it gets harder and harder to ignore. I had to just cut them all off eventually.
Thank you for my restoring my faith in xiv players on lemmy. Just about lost it when I saw people ypyt on here.
where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there)
Even if this wasn’t included I was already thinking of this. A, C and I all seem like they have rather good odds at putting you somewhere in Africa.
We’re really going back to behaving like we’re living in the middle ages. Your wife can’t conceive? Time to find an excuse to get rid of her as that’s one of her only purposes and you need a heir.
And she said all that to guilt trip me about her marriage, asking that I not leave and commit to being an affair partner.
It was really uncomfortable.
Maybe so, not like I needed another reason to stay away.
The last woman I dated before my current girlfriend was a conservative woman. I didn’t see any flags for it, she seemed really open minded, and was very well educated. Shame on me for being so blind I suppose.
She turned out to have a husband and a young son. I’m not entirely sure what to believe since cheaters will say a lot of things, but she apparently hated her marriage a lot. She wouldn’t leave due to her beliefs though.
These aren’t even red flags at this point. It’s a blaring siren.
I’m more surprised it took them this long to realize that they can just do this and his cult will believe it.
Not sure if they’ll even list anyone that’s actually guilty, regardless of party loyalties. This is just an assumption, but I assume that some of these people visited the island at the same time as the others. In that case outing even a single individual could lead to them inevitably naming and shaming others that have been too. They wouldn’t risk that.
Sorry if that came off the wrong way. I more so meant it to point out what I intended in case there was a misunderstanding.
None of this is what I am discussing. I’m talking about the people in the thread who are saying that these people deserved this.
I don’t quite understand the outrage in the thread. I’ve been looking through the comments, trying to see if this ever went beyond gossip and I can’t find anything.
From my understanding the app was intended to be a safe space for women to discuss dating. Relaying information about dangerous individuals, or people who cheat. I can imagine that things might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed? Besides, women, and men have been gossiping behind each others backs for as long as humans have existed. An anonymous app makes it significantly worse certainly, but it is what it is. This behavior is always going to exist for better or for worse. For example, people already discuss this on sites like fetlife since the risk of ending up with someone who wants to batter you for the sake of battering you is somewhat high there.
Surely we can have some sympathy for people who have had their identifications doxxed by 4chan who haven’t done anything worse than a bit of toxic gossip at most?
Why can’t we just rely on common sense instead of jumping to massive generalizations regarding someones gender?
Trump has been covered in red flags regarding his treatment of women for years. E. Jean Carroll? Stormy Daniels? Katie Johnson? The Hollywood Access Tape?
I’m a little anxious that if Me Too blows up again it may have the opposite effect intended, and instead deflect attention away from Trump as people argue over the movement itself.
That should really not be legal.
It shouldn’t be allowed, but unfortunately the immigration court system has always been fucked.
Immigration courts don’t operate under Article 3. They’re run by the DOJ and the AG. I probably don’t have to say much more there. It’s always been awful, but given the current administration you can assume that it’ll be even worse than usual.
I hate how hopeful I am. I keep believing that at some point these people on the right are going to wake up and realize what they’ve voted for.
And I am continuously disappointed as they make more and more excuses for the criminal acts their leadership has committed each time they come to light.
The narrative has been changing slowly over time.
And there has been at least one public case involving him and Epstein.
We all know he’s guilty, and there is no way he is going to self-incriminates himself. The Epstein files will never see the light of day unless someone leaks them.
I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.
I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?
Socializing is exhausting. I usually have a couple of people besides my girlfriend that I chat with, and it’s more than enough for me.
I understand that socializing is an important aspect of life. I’m certain there’s all sorts of papers detailing the benefits of it, but I do also think it’s important to learn to be comfortable spending time by yourself.
It’s been happening in the real world for a long time.
There’s all sorts of anti-homeless architecture out there such as changing benches to make sleeping on them uncomfortable, or adding spikes anywhere on the ground someone might seek shelter. We waste so much money and time attempting to make these poor peoples lives more miserable when all of that could have gone towards simply removing the issue of homelessness.
