  • The last few Federated Lemmy days have reminded me that while GOP conservatives are hot-blooded monsters, liberals are cold-blooded monsters.

  • It's a disturbing, but necessary reality check. The people who can comfortably detach themselves from the horrors of what's happening are going to try to stay comfortably detached.

    Fuck that though. You're not being a downer or unrealistic by pointing out unnecessary death and suffering. This isn't normal and pretending that it is does a disservice to the people killed in the name of acceptable losses for profit.

  • I see it more as Democrats killing 50 and allowing 50 more to die because the parliamentarian said rules are rules.

  • ADHD is when hacking your nintendo 3ds is surprisingly easy and takes less than 15 minutes but it takes me the whole day

  • ADHD feels like your neurons are cats instead of dogs.

  • Hurricane Hilary to threaten flooding rain in California, Nevada and Arizona

  • Merced got fucked up back in December with flooded apartments and parking lots. The crumbling infrastructure is going to be washed away.

    but water

  • Trump and his supporters are using the word "rigger" for the n-word.

  • Like I get pointing and laughing at someone like

    , but sometimes I feel it leans too close to an irony-poisoned indifference to the horrible things he says and propagates.

    I understand not caring in the grand scheme of things because it's ultimately nothing new in the West, but it's still rough when you want to talk to people about the blatant dog whistling.

  • Drug Patents Are Stifling Progress and Making us Sicker - Left Voice

  • The US government has emergency powers to limit patents. I can't recall a time it's been yet in recent memory (but they could pull out the parliamentarian bullshit).

    But you'd think a drug that reduces the transmission of HIV down to under a percent would be freely available. I mean just make it freely available, have doctors recommend it when applicable, and we could reduce HIV to a more manageable condition.

    I think about gay men I've talked to who couldn't afford PrEP or didn't even know it existed. Sex education is a nightmare in the US and we're sending lgbt kids in blind when there are so many resources stuck behind paywalls.

  • In Search of a Soviet Holocaust - After 50 years on the fringes, the Ukraine famine debate is finally front and center.

  • I hate that it's controversial to point out that the effort to minimize the Holocaust by not teaching it in schools, normalizing jokes/denial, and deflecting accountability is all deliberate and needs to be fought every time.

    It's stunning how much effort they'll go to just to find a worse atrocity.

    I mean it's obvious why - the mechanisms in place that enabled the Holocaust are alive and well in the world. Powerful people don't want to lose what they've acquired through blood and so they have a vested interest in people forgetting the Holocaust.

  • School District Using ChatGPT to Determine Which Books to Ban

  • Beyond parody. Just surprised it's not Florida.

  • We got this.

  • I think it's a tomato!

  • Squid Game Increased Netflix's Value by Almost $1 Billion While Its Creator Received Virtually Nothing - IGN

  • It's a good thing that the US has protections in place to ensure standing sites can't exploit writers and creators

  • Is this Saddam’s WMD

  • I guess what I mean to say is, I don't like being in the cool zone

  • Is this Saddam’s WMD

  • This trend of Spiked (Simply Orange Juice, Monster, etc.) says something really bleak about how the West is going

  • Yes

  • The same sticker, but there's a link to hexbear. Also it's not Gadsden yellow.

  • I've struggled with coming up with a good name for myself for a long time. This is your chance to drastically influence the life of someone you've never met.

  • This is really good advice.

  • Weekly Queer Thread (8/11/23)

  • Update on the last time a commented on the queer thread a while back.

    I'm still figuring out my gender and that's been a cool experience. I've been thinking about it off and on for a little over a year now, and it's a lot of identifying and reflecting on stuff that I take for granted.

    Like maybe I'm not necessarily genderqueer, but maybe I'm feeling a strain from how my race is stereotyped in such a way that navigating m/m spaces just sucks.

    I guess I feel like I'm a guy, but I don't want to be put into assumed roles in relationships just because of my appearance or background. Imagine that!

    It's a process, but it's nice because it feels like I'm getting closer to having the life that I want.

    Gotta say, I love that you can turn off scores now.

  • 5 white nationalists sue Seattle man for allegedly leaking their identities.

  • I haven't heard chuds' arguments defending Libs of TikTok doing the same things to teachers and lgbt+ people, but I do like seeing their tears.

    Oh no! You're being harassed and losing your jobs?! Boo fucking hoo, cry more, and don't be a nazi piece of shit.

  • 5 white nationalists sue Seattle man for allegedly leaking their identities.

  • But it's white nationalists in a country that holds delusions about white supremacy. This could go either way.

  • It's kinda funny thinking about the stigma around cisnormative men listening to music (especially pop) performed by women.

  • Dance the Night is so good!

  • How I think "The Boys" is going to end (no spoilers)

  • Libs love a good redemption arc.

    I hate that part of capitalism is verifying that you're not being scammed at any given moment.
