2020 - the government asks us to stay home for six weeks, people riot (they really wanted haircuts I think?)

2025 - a can of corn kernals is $4, people do not riot

I hate it here

Whats happening in Afghanistan did not start or end two minutes ago, that's such a simplistic take.

Don't presume everyone you engage with online is a man. You're dismissing a woman while pretending to champion women.

struggle sesh discussion of 'gossip'

~~sorry im posting this here, the thread I was responding to has been locked but not removed, I am not here for a debate, fine for mods to delete if desired~~

~~look at the root for gossip~~

~~>Old English godsibb "sponsor, godparent," from God + sibb "relative" (see sibling). The sense was extended in Middle English to "a familiar acquaintance, a friend, neighbor" (c. 1300), especially to women friends invited to attend a birth, later to "anyone engaging in familiar or idle talk" (1560s).~~

https://www.etymonline.com/word/gossip

~~because it can be used in an offensive and condescending way, does not make it so. Women talking to each other is an important part of how we keep communities safe. I have been attacked and driven out of spaces for 'gossip' wherein I was trying to remove a predator.~~

~~there are no positive connotations for the dunk tank, these arent equivalent.~~

~~If you think gossip is a misogynistic term then examine yourself~~.

Marx grasped this essence of capitalist democracy splendidly when, in analyzing the experience of the Commune, he said that the oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class shall represent and repress them in parliament!

ARE TANKIES CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML? (lemmy.ml)

[email protected] - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~

😱

A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??

HEXBEAR.NET

DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!

WE ASKED [email protected] ARE YOU A TANKIE?

First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes

only top level comments were counted
tankies are closer than they appear
Deeply unserious

this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe

tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml
