These places feel normally populated for the geography when you drive through them.

“People who boast about their IQ are losers” Stephen Hawking

My kids dad (I am not bio-mom) told me straight up he only wants adult children. I pointed out to him kids ARE adults now and he has no relationship with them due to that attitude. So many fathers want to phone it in then are shocked when they have no meaningful relationship with their kids.

This is a BS justification imo

Being alone with your own child is not considered suspicious. Hanging out alone with out a child at a playground sure. Having your own kid in your cart at the grocery store? Absolutely not

America is just like every other highly patriarchal society: No

Some men are wonderful dads and incredibly involved but culturally speaking American men still very much buy into the concept of “woman’s work” and included in that is women raising his kids for him

Where I live they’re called nine spotted lady beetles

I didn’t realize what they were for the longest time! They look so different

I should probably cancel my trip to Cape Disappointment

HUH???

The constitution is worth less than the paper it was written on at this point

Zuc specifically seems to be floundering more than the others, not that it matters obviously but I think it really shows he hit a jackpot not that he’s especially skilled, smart or talented.

As a person who has used em-dash style of writing for decades, because it’s correct and appropriate, I hate that AI has made me seem like a bot

I don’t understand why 1) people are using a service they know is rigged due to insider info 2) simply not following/watching these accounts and copying them

Granted I don’t gamble and don’t know much about this specific platform but it seems silly to be blindly betting with in this set up?

The 2016 point is, on point. I remember the absolute flood of pro-Trump, incel, conservative content that felt completely inorganic and had very little representation prior popping up literally everywhere, everyday. It was like a firehose of far right fringe ideas was aimed at Reddit. Reddit 100% had problems prior but it was mostly focused on violence/sexual violence towards women and girls and wasn’t ever on the front page, other than maybe Jailbait. Even at the time people using Reddit were aware and talking about how unnatural it all seemed but now it’s too far gone and been normalized.

I was a very early Reddit user, and a “power user” for over a decade who was permanently banned for “inciting violence” by saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet as a joke. I think my far left progressive comments were more likely the reason.

Even huge thriving communities on Reddit have zero representation here. The culture is also hyper specific on Lemmy. I find Lemmy to be generally more tolerant of my progressive, feminist, disabled person views but also if I want to talk about them there’s not that many places, but there are what feels like hundreds of options to talk about stuff I have absolutely no interest in like operating systems. I think it’s a diversity issue

Fun fact!

Hey that’s my job!

This is probably the best option for the social worker partner since social work is largely about knowing the laws and culture which you won’t know as an immigrant

They’re so considerate
