Only when there’s no professional playing a role. A self-help group with professional oversight is great.

Every village had a village idiot, now they network.

Wrong, the science community is slowly switching to bluesky

Same here in Germany, but these two parties are not at all the same, even if they don’t differ much in that one (and a bunch of other) issues.

For sure, I’m just saying that the actual fascists should always get the majority of the blame, even if it’s pathetic for their rivals to fail to prevent their win.

Less than nothing, it made the world a worse place.

Why blame the better of two bad options?

Be honest and blame both bad options.

(I’m not referring to the greens here, they aren’t a real option)

What a meaningless thing to say in this context, as both parties act the same way: supporting Israel.

So the only difference we have to go by is words. And Trump’s are the most ghoulish shit any elected politician has said so far.

They follow robots.txt

There are different kinds of AI scraper defenses.

This one is an active strategy. No shit people know that this costs them resources. The point is that they want to punish the owners of bad-behaved scrapers.

There is also another kind which just blocks anything that tries to follow an invisible link that goes to a resource forbidden by robots.txt

Every single post that even slightly touches on something that could be construed to be systemd-adjacent has the whiners in it here in Lemmy.

They cannot let it go, and I feel like this post is very necessary

“patriarchy” in this context means something other than you think, I.e. it means a system that upholds gender roles that benefit a (majority male) ruler class, e.g. by encouraging worker class men to go to war for their benefit, worker class women to be caretakers, and so on.

The counterpart to this definition of “patriarchy” is a society with no stratified gender roles, not “matriarchy”.

Im sorry that happened, but never again what?

Like, “never again open up about a huge important part of my life to”

a) anyone, or b) someone you don’t know too long

Because only a) is healthy. I don’t think trying to mask your depression can work in a serious relationship.

That’s not what that word means. “patriarchs” aren’t men in general, that’s why it’s possible (and in fast true) that the patriarchy harms people of all genders.

As this post demonstrate, men don’t benefit from it, e.g. it makes us live shorter, it encourages suppressing our emotion, it encourages our aggression. Because some (mostly) men in power benefit if we don’t unionize, let ourselves be pressed into shit jobs or the military, and so on.

Read the other messages here and you might understand.

I know how that feels, and I know a few more people of any gender who have been made that way.

I eventually gained it back, but it sometimes I still feel like I’m close to tears yet can’t go there. Feels like a sneeze that doesn’t come except more emotional.

It only goes one way: from people sing gender stereotypes to manipulate others to the victims.

The fact that you can manipulate any gender while being any gender logically follows.

I think “neurotypical” by now means “I wanna say ‘normie I look down upon’, but I don’t want to sound like an incel”

He works on Linux where he controls the whole stack down to the metal and I love that for him, but other people have to call library code, and them debug that if it doesn’t work as they thought it would.
