A huge annoyance was that there was already subs for asking sex questions but people found it easier to karma farm in the main ones so they were barely used. Hopefully without karma here that will be avoided.

Protestors generally move for emergency vehicles and drivers who call out to them and say they have an emergency themselves.

Also autistic people can struggle with sarcasm especially over text.

Its so frustrating when I see other minorities use that argument because their suicide statistics are also typically higher! That's the nature of oppression.

you bring up good points, thank you for sharing them. I'll post more literature on the topic once I read through more but I thought this was a good start.

I've been meaning to start a music collection for a bunch of old goth music from small bands that risks being lost to time. Thanks for this post I'm gonna get my ass moving on it.

Ironically, defending arguments using scientific studies and experiments, but not being able to think critically about the methodology used or what the results mean. Too often people will cite scientific literature based off the title and MAYBE skim it. Trying to have a discussion with them will usually result in them calling you anti-science.

A good example is the pseudo-scientific belief common within incel circles that women can store and absorb dna from past sexual partners and that their children can then have more than one genetic father (an excuse to shame sexually active women while fear mongering about cuckoldry). If you track down the source the study actually explicitly explains exactly why this isn't the case.

The biggest problem with gmos rn is that companies can patent them. But that isn't really a gmo problem as much as a capitalism problem. What I'm saying is we need pirates for genetics.

Your probably seeing more anti-protest sentiment there because pro-protesters are not on the site now to defend themselves, were all on lemmy/kbin or taking a break from social media.

A good example of an amazing tech hampered by the capitalist system, and very good argument for open source and right to repair.

Wasn't entirely sure where best to post this, but I assume people in here could make the most use of this info.

 
 

I've noticed there are some communities that aren't showing up from other instances, even though we are federated with them. Is this intentional? or just lemmy being lemmy. (specifically I was trying to join some sewing based communities so nothing I think would have been banned from here)
