So is it … the “whole thing”? I.e., Lemmy was invented / created / etc. by a bunch of authoritarian weirdos?

I’m guessing that the question itself reveals that I don’t even understand what Lemmy is, but hey. Any help appreciated.

Well this is news to me. The whole thing; created by Marxists, etc, etc.

Wtf?

Fucking hell.

most of us will never be in that position

But if you were…

Gotta love this thinking here.

So tell me, should the US have stopped attacking Japan once they’d matched the ~2.4k soldiers killed at Pearl Harbor?

Or should the allies have stopped “genociding” Nazi Germany once they’d matched Hitler’s body count?

OF COURSE NOT. This isn’t about tit for tat. Especially when going after an enemy that is openly committee to your annihilation. Israel certainly appears to be doing a shit job of it, but there is no need to muddy the waters with specious arguments.

Exactly.

But forget it…this is the echo chamber to end all echo chambers.

Stupidity goes in there too for baiting any and every psycho who can now instantly become an armed psycho.

For example, if someone hits you with their car? It’s ok to scratch it.

Are you 12?

Or do you just see every unfortunate occurrence as personal victimization?

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Honestly curious and hoping for serious replies:

What do trans people think about the possibility of a child or preteen “getting it wrong”? Ie, maturing into an adult that realizes/decides that they actually want to live out their life as initially assigned at birth?

Note: I know so little that I’m actually not sure if this question itself is massively offensive or not…if so, sincere apologies. Just want to learn more about this and stop imagining things!

I work with a nonprofit that works closely with children in this circumstance, and yes, it does make a huge difference to the individuals involved.

Having it be understood and acknowledged that this is something we are going through, and not who we are gives a healthy framing for families to lift themselves up…and not be “homeless people.”

It’s actually someone experiencing homelessness.

The (good, imho) reason is that “homeless” can quickly become a defining label when used to describe an individual, when what we are after is really just a description of someone’s current circumstance.

So the new wording is simply more accurate.

Weird choice to widow “it” tho

It’s just the rise of loud, groupthink edgelords, refusing to think past a hyper-emotional brainwash.

My understanding is that even after Hiroshima, the Imperial Army attempted a coup to avoid surrender.

The Japanese were not stopping. The only alternative at hand was a full invasion, which would have killed many, many more.

Good luck. You’re going to get nothing but “popular = bad” here.

It doesn’t. Lemmyverse seems to respects/enjoys certain biases and this is one.
