Not necessarily. Some women are conditioned with some but not all of patriarchal views. My mom is very much supportive of women having their own independence, but she is still prude and blames raped women for what they wear or how they behaved.

I'm guessing you have not been alive long enough to remember that newspapers, especially tabloids, have always been demeaning of women. To be honest I think headline is timid sounding compared to twenty years ago, when tabloids were more popular and running sensationalist headlines, and the picture of the person being always the most unflattering. I don't really see that kind of reporting nowadays, but it is now on social media where sensationalist shaming happens.

Literally everyone else: "It's bad to arbitrarily arrest someone for criticising corruption and send them and their family to labour camps."

Tankies: "That's just, your opinion, man."

Being a huge nerd on certain topics tend to ruin the fun of watching movies.

That's why I am not buying new ones until I finish the others.

Edit: also, I do take the high seas. But only games coming from greedy devs who don't deserve my money.

It's Russia. They are accustomed to creating and following vague laws that are in effect also authoritarian and arbitrary. Many Soviet laws were the same.

Where I'm from originally, it's perfectly fine to hit someone for bullying you. Nine times out of ten the bully is weak him/herself and cowers if you "return in kind" of how they treat you. I don't know why many Westerners are reluctant to hit a bully. But my guess is that the fear of litigation is the bigger fear.

Ironic that you used the image of Batman, because it is literally my interest on Batman that has been re-ignited.

It will take years for Lemmy to take off in much the same way as Reddit had slowly built up.

As I and other mentioned before, the main downside of Lemmy is that the community you care about isn't here (and frankly, I don't know if they will even come here at all). Like, we don't have AskHistorians here, and the Lemmy for your hometown or country is either quiet or just completely died. So, I end up having no choice but to return to Reddit to keep in touch with those communities. However, as someone who is privacy conscious since Reddit now sells your data to train AI, I try to log in to Reddit with Tor. But even with the Onion site of Reddit, it won't let me log in at most times because of technical discrepancy with stupid captchas or something. Sometimes I could log in via Tor but most times I'm not able to.

Anyhow, I would love Lemmy to take off as soon as possible but there is teething problem common in new communities. But the pessimistic side of me thinks it may not since so many people have become too invested in Reddit. And the latter intentionally hooked people in for the worst reasons.

Being of East Asian descent, I am perpetually young.

To be fair, the egregious provisions of the PATRIOT act which allows unilateral spying by the US government has not been renewed. But on the one hand, there have been cases of law enforcement agencies buying information from data brokers, which companies have sold to. The Chinese government different, they can straight up spy on you and question you at any time.

This thing isn't something that would personally affect me because here in Europe we have GDPR and the EU is consumer-friendly, but privacy is still I would be concerned of for other parts of the world.

Everything you said is literally the other way around.
