Hot take: eating a capybara is about as morally reprehensible as eating pasture-raised chicken.

I’m flexitarian and I eat meat. I just don’t want to be a hypocrite about it.

Roblox is literally actively shutting down anti-pedophilia efforts.

PSA: not related to this picture, but foxtails can be deadly to cats and dogs because they are capable of digging into their bodies and causing lethal infections.

I like to reframe it as ‘if I don’t take their compliment, I’m implying they have bad taste’, and the guilt from that helps fight the guilt of getting what feels like an underserved compliment.

People are overworked, underpaid, and struggling to make rent in this economy while juggling 3 jobs or taking care of their kids, or both.

They are at the limits of their mental load, especially women who shoulder it disproportionately in many households. AI is used to drastically reduce that mental load. People suffering from burnout use it for unlicensed therapy. I’m not advocating for it, I’m pointing out why people use it.

Treating AI users like a moral failure and disregarding their circumstances does nothing to discourage the use of AI. All you are doing is enforcing their alienation of anti-AI sentiment.

First, understand the person behind it. Address the root cause, which is that AI companies are exploiting the vulnerabilities of people with or close to burnout by selling the dream of a lightened workload.

It’s like eating factory farmed meat. If you have eaten it recently, you know what horrors go into making it. Yet, you are exhausted from a long day of work and you just need a bite of that chicken to take the edge off to remain sane after all these years. There is a system at work here, greater than just you and the chicken. It’s the industry as a whole exploiting consumer habits. AI users are no different.

Not saying what she did was okay at all, but postpartum depression affects 17% of mothers worldwide. Even in developed countries, less than half have the privilege of getting diagnosed. It is severely under-recognized and often goes untreated.

Not to mention that not every pregnancy is wanted and not every mother has the resources, support, or even the human right to follow through with an abortion.

Combine these two and you get woefully unprepared mothers who just went through the most excruciating experience in her life and is still expected to smile at the sight of her newborn. Ever heard of a perineal tear? It’s exactly what it sounds like and it affects 90% of first time mothers. And that’s only a fraction of the pain involved in childbirth. It’s kind of disgusting how women are expected to gracefully hide one of the most traumatic experiences in their life and package it neatly into social expectations of motherhood.

If you do, I recommend visiting the more residential areas to get a feel of what old Hong Kong was like. Places like Sham Shui Po, Kennedy Town, West of Sai Wan Ho, northern parts of the New Territories. Everywhere else has been stripped and redeveloped to accommodate mostly to Chinese tourists as a last ditch to survive in the tourism industry.

Tiananmen Square? This would be dead obvious to Hong Kongers. Hell, even just ‘1989’ is enough.

You don’t see people wear shirts that openly criticize the CCP these days. Not after all the arbitrary arrests where even wearing plain black clothing was enough to incriminate you.

I don’t recommend going to Hong Kong anymore. It’s a husk of its former self. The streets are far emptier, and every other storefront is closed because people and business have packed up and left in droves. If you do, certainly don’t wear this shirt there.

Trump isn’t going to read this but people with small penises will. There’s no need to use conservative language here.

This post is pointing out that few men want to date ‘older’ women while men of all ages want to date younger women.

It’s wild how discussing age and gender inequality in dating is considered misandry.

Of course the 145 police reports don’t count. This is 145 women were talking about.

The point is that Republicans are allowed to have a literal insurrection with Trump supporting them, while Democrats protesting ICE’s human rights abuse triggers Trump enough to deploy the national guard on them.

OP is drawing a parallel between the two, not pretending that anyone will mistake that for LA.

^Here, you dropped this. It’s called the point. You must have missed it while stating the obvious.

Your brother met someone, was immediately concerned about why he was crying, and it stuck with him weeks after never seeing him again.

That’s a wonderful display of empathy, not just some childish complaint. When we talk about how boys and socialized differently from girls, this is it. How we respond to kid’s feelings is how they perceive their own emotions. And if we cue that it is something they ought to grow out of, they will grow out of it.

I really hope he isn’t wearing that all day. Cats are sensitive creatures and even plastic chains can snag their fur and overstimulate them.

Rabies, CSD, ringworm, and salmonella would like to have a word with you.

I didn’t know conservatives were capable of respecting a woman at all.

I know it’s not deliberate, but phrases like ‘spineless pussies’ are why women don’t feel welcome on lemmy.

Is lemmy truly a left-leaning platform? Or is it yet another tech-bro circlejerk that cares more about the aesthetics of inclusivity? You all can’t have your cake and it eat it too.

Every is talking about how the headrest it’s made this way for crash safety when it’s blatantly untrue.

The headrest is designed to protect the heads and neck of the average man, not woman. Decades of crash test dummies have all been modeled on the average height and weight of the male body. This is why women are 47% likelier to sustain a serious injury in a crash.

Think of the where the headrest is in the optimal position to protect the driver, and then move that a few inches lower. Adjustable headrest often doesn’t even go low enough to accommodate for many women. There is an actual cutoff height where you are just screwed and expected to die more. Not to mention the user error of forgetting to adjust the headrest from the factory setting of accommodating to the average male height.

This is why so many people are curled up like a shrimp. They are either: short, a woman, or the statistically deadliest of all, both.

Might have to do with Jubensha getting so popular in China
