This is genuinely the first I’m learning those aren’t a thing anymore in some places. I could swear I’ve seen them all over Europe.

Thanks for explaining, I’ll do that next time!

Man I was just bored. It takes less than half a second to scroll past a post you don’t like.

My 4 are: vinyl record, paper map, own a dictionary, write a post card.

I’m very lucky that my grandma passed a house on to me in her will, skipping her children. Not lucky enough to be able to renovate it to make it livable though, and install a legal heating system, so I continue to live in a 12m^2 and with four flatmates.

Man, I was going to go to a wedding there that was super important to me but now I’m SO torn.

Since this was true when I was in primary school, it’ll always be seared into my brain. I mean, I realized this when I was learning to count and spell, of course it’s saved as one of the most basic facts of life. Like, 4+4=8, 90s are 10 years ago 70s are 30 years ago etc was stuff learned at the same time, so it’s like it’s saved in a similar way.

Good for you if you can forget politics and still live your life, for some of us, those things are diametrically opposed.

I literally finished masturbating and opened Lemmy, and this was the first post I saw. Now how do I get to hell?

So glad my country is catholic and my grandma was a big fan of Mary. I’d take a pious looking mum type in a veil over a buff dude in undies being tortured any day.

Why did this need to be a video instead of a scrollable post

To be fair that means the education system has failed you in that regard. That probably contributes to the anti vax cult, they’re simply not taught why vaccines are important and what they help prevent.

This would be true in a vacuum where marginalization and power dynamics don’t exist. It’s a symptom of women’s systemic oppression and needs to be called out as that in order to fight womens oppression. Especially since this is happening in the public eye and thus shaping people’s views. I’m not doubting the women are consenting, and they’re not to blame at all. It’s Leo and the media and public opinion that are doing harm by framing this situation as desirable.

Nothing I said could even be reasonably misconstrued to indicate that I do.

I’m asking people to examine their potential biases when they are ok with the symptoms of the marginalisation of certain groups of people.

The people who use what society reduces them to to their benefit in the few instances that they can arent to blame in the slightest btw. I just hope they’ll get past this without trauma, unlike every woman I know that dated an older man very shortly after becoming a legal adult.

You’re right, those are to blame too. That’s why I made the comment. I didn’t think it’d reach Leo. I thought I’d make a person or two think about whether that’s ok behaviour to emulate and an ok view on women to have.

Dating women who are just old enough to be legal but only while they look youthful. While being in a societal position where your life is public and you can do whatever you want, the latter of which many look up to. This normalizes dating women for looks, namely for looking young, instead of for having things in common. This doesn’t exactly improve how women are viewed. Youngness isn’t a woman’s biggest asset and we shouldn’t encourage the normalization of the view that it is. The fact that some women are complicit in this doesn’t change it.

Hotter take: This shit perpetuates women as sexual objects though, which, in some cases, might even make it easier for someone to rationalize their violence against a woman

Men are people who are capable of respect and love for others and don’t deserve this

“I’ve been lucky and/or privileged, why aren’t you?” will forever be the weirdest flex to me

You telling me I could be getting paid to do this shit?
