I’m anticonsumption in general and temu just seems like the epitome of paying for disposable garbage.

In general i don’t understand why people are buying any nonessential items at all. Everyone is apparently too poor but random crap still sells. I splurged and bought a cheap tablet to use as an ereader this year but only because i can’t justify the expense of buying books and my local library is awful.

I was really hoping for some theory of how sociopathy could be contagious. Nothing. I’ts just name-calling.

Listen, it’s a very easy premise: these anti-gay workers and activists believe homosexual thoughts are something everyone struggles with, because they experience similiar thoughts and urges all the time

What is the mental defect that makes people think everyone is like them or everyone is the same?

The mod even stated that the articles weren’t bullshit and please explain how the posting behaviour amounts to bad faith as defined by wikipedia:

Bad faith (Latin: mala fides) is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another.[1] It is associated with hypocrisy, breach of contract, affectation, and lip service.[2] It may involve intentional deceit of others, or self-deception.

Ozma was not being deceptive, pretending feelings or paying lip service. He was honest snd consistent, people just didn’t want to hear it.

So people who only post positive articles are also propagandists who should be banned?

I really don’t understand how this is classed as bad faith, which wikipedia describes as:

Bad faith (Latin: mala fides) is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another.[1] It is associated with hypocrisy, breach of contract, affectation, and lip service.[2] It may involve intentional deceit of others, or self-deception. >

The guys he stabbed want to deport him to afghanistan (they want to send all migrants back to where they came from), i’d want to stab anyone who tried to send me to afghanistan. I don’t agree with the stabbing, but i think it sort of makes sense from a general self defense perspective.

I’m curious about what percentage of programmers would give error free answers to these questions in seconds.

Perhaps your tone is why noone gave it the time of day. I seem to be the only one who agrees with you at all and you’re still hostile…

knee-jerk downvotes because “muh fee-fees"

Self fulfilling prophecy… i do want to downvote this childish crap. It adds nothing and makes you seem unserious.

And Democrats would also be wise to consider the experience of European countries where right-leaning populist parties have lately been doing especially well among younger voters. Far from repelling these voters, many find the antiestablishment and elite-bashing politics of these new parties attractive, channeling their dissatisfaction with the recent past, the status quo and “politics as usual.”

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Maga communism is a fascinating development in that area and i think it’s here on lemmy.

This explains so much about the ml people. Literal marxists for trump.

The tech world wants the easy money made from payment processing, as well as all the data they can get.

I personally blocked it because I want to talk to everyone on lemmy

Ummmm… lol

What is happening now is we’re importing people into the country that want to be in America … but have no interest in being Americans, and that’s very different and to disparage the comments is to chill the conversation so that we can continue to bring in more people that we never met that are un-American,” Perry said, according to the recording.

TBH, a lot of migrants to the west do not share my progressive, secular values and that bothers me a bit. It’s also forbidden to speak of on the left. To be intolerant of misogynist and homophobic religious nutters from elsewhere is racism of course. Obviously it’s not a conspiracy, just economics driving people to where the money is, but can we not admit that it has an effect on the culture?

Actually she called him: “an open flaming Feminine closet Gay.” lol

It did make me laugh, so i have to call it a success

Is that title intentionally terrible?

Integrity is a beautiful thing.

The question is why, with an internet full of porn, do men want non consensual pornography that they know women are opposed to. It’s as if the hurtfulness, the lack of consent and the control over the woman in the video are actually the point.

The thing that makes them want to die is societal pressure, not the act itself.

That’s an assumption that you have no evidence for. You are deciding what feelings people should have by your own personal rules and completely ignoring the people who are saying this is a violation. What gives you the right to tell people how they are allowed to feel?

From another comment:

To people who aren’t sure if this should be illegal or what the big deal is: according to Harvard clinical psychiatrist and instructor Dr. Alok Kanojia (aka Dr. K from HealthyGamerGG), once non-consensual pornography (which deepfakes are classified as) is made public over half of people involved will have the urge to kill themselves. There’s also extreme risk of feeling depressed, angry, anxiety, etc. The analogy given is it’s like watching video the next day of yourself undergoing sex without consent as if you’d been drugged.

Try to imagine watching a realistic video of yourself being abused, imagine your mother watching. That will absolutely fuck some people up, and a lot of those victims are going to be children. Shit is going to get bad.
