The calorie used to be the base unit, until we released in the 19th century “wait, heat isn’t a gas” and threw out caloric theory, and made the joule. Now the calorie is defined as 4.184 joules.

Finally, something good comes out of my ADHD. I’m invincible against THCA drug tests!
(I’m kidding)
Don’t worry, when we eventually get basic human needs down such as universal healthcare and other social welfare, worker’s rights, and liveable non-car dependent infrastructure, I’m sure everyone will start moving to the US instead of Canada and you’ll be saved. I give it… a few decades, when the climate catastrophe starts becoming apparent.
No. He is completely wrong. Drag isn’t “reducing a woman’s identity” to anything, because femininity isn’t a woman’s identity. People who do drag aren’t pretending to be women. Drag partially exists to blur gender lines and challenge our perceptions of gender, and mostly exists because many people feel affirmed by femininity and are most comfortable when they’re participating in what we see as feminine culture.
Cultural perceptions of femininity aren’t equivalent to womanhood. Femininity does not “belong” to women and masculinity does not “belong” to men. Imagine how insane it would be if we called women wearing pants and other clothes that used to be associated with men “blackface for men” lol.
Are you seriously comparing clothing and makeup to skin color and ethnicity my guy?
Blackface demonizes/makes fun of being black. Drag does not demonize femininity; quite the opposite actually. Your logic doesn’t logic.
Considering you post a lot of porn of women with objectifying remarks all over your profile, it’s unsurprising you have misogynistic views… at least keep them to yourself man.
#2) Wage growth through WFH. This path is currently so crowded that few have a chance. Hopefully once a few office mortgages are done and boomers with office fetishes die, more jobs will move this way
It’s insane how much time and money we waste on just commuting for jobs that we really don’t need to be travelling to, and additionally how much we waste on just fucking around in the office without actually doing anything productive (because there’s nothing productive to do). A lot of people could free up a whole half of the rest of their life by just being able to work from home, I wager. Whether people realize it or not, the commute (including the gas money and fares) is part of the time they dedicate to work, and having to waste time on it without getting paid means you’re getting lese compensation for your time. Some people don’t value their time enough for it to matter, but some people (like me) do.
If you average 2 hours a day on your commute, that’s almost an entire month of unpaid time you’re using on your job (it’s not 30 days of pure time if you work an average of 4.5 days per week, but I’m including costs associated with the commute like gas or car maintanence and repair, which for most people would bring it up from the original 20 days to at least 30 days). Most people who don’t live in a city (or who have a job a far enough distance away) waste a whole fucking half a month to an entire month every year – 1/24 to 1/12 of their entire life – just driving to work. On the commute alone. I would take a massive pay cut to not have to make that commute, as well as not have to waste time sitting in an office that I could be using with my loved ones or to do the things I enjoy, which a good WFH setup actually allows you to do.
I’m moving to Chicago so I don’t have to have a car nor waste that much time travelling to places, and not just work but also to stores and hobby stuff. Apparently this is something a lot of people have been doing within the past few years because of how affordable Chicago is in comparison to pretty much every other big city. Ahhh, gentrification my beloved.
Overall I think we’re having a massive reversal of suburbanization/white flight and a move back to cities by people who want to “take back” their time and freedom of movement. As well as just generally not wanting to live in a conservative hellhole.
Herein lies the basis of the alt-right’s culture war BS. The entire thing is resolved by accepting that systematic racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination against certain minority groups are alive and well, as well as accepting that that’s a bad thing. But most people don’t see anything past overt hate crimes (mainly assault) on the basis of social identity to be racism/homophobia/etc. Then, with that view, their rationalization becomes that all racist actions are on an individual level, that the individuals or groups perpetrating killings of minorities are the only problem and they’re exceptions which don’t appear enough to warrant a major response anyways, and as a whole society doesn’t have a problem with racism or sexism or whatever anymore and there’s not much society and the government can/should do to stop it. These people genuinely think that, and it’s easy to see how you jump from that to “<insert policy which addresses institutionalized discrimination> is discrimination against white/straight/cis/male people”. To them, it’s “systematic racism/sexism/homophobia doesn’t exist, and if it does, it’s not enough to be a big deal, so any correction to it is bigotry”.
Libertarians’ play on this says that the “free market” would stamp out bigotry because it would totally be unviable, because human beings are rational and the people with the most voting money wouldn’t support discriminatory business practices… since, again, the bigots are a few select people who the population would boycott. The class-based private education and lack of public education would totally mean more people would grow up to be less bigoted too. Making it illegal to discriminate in business would only hurt the poor business owners who want to ethically discriminate based on identity!
Then, on a different corner of politics, you have the leftists who genuinely take “no war but class war” as a description of what’s happening – it’s a phrase originally meant to invoke the idea that we shouldn’t be marginalizing groups or fighting any war except a class war, and that racism/sexism/etc. are useless infighting – but some (“tankies”) have taken it to literally mean that the only real oppression in our society is class-based, and “identity politics” and working on systematic discrimination are how the capitalists keep us distracted, so we shouldn’t worry about that.
I’ve seen the first view on Lemmy a lot in the past when it comes to specifically sexism – the site’s largest demographics (young nerdy men) makes it unsurprising, but it’s still a bit shocking to see considering the left lean of the site. I think it’s gotten a lot better ever since a few months ago though.
but… the declaration of independence says we have a duty to do it! Surely the founding fathers would approve…
I’d like to pretend I were amused by a pampered white guy doing pampered white guy things and posting “everyone you criticize is hitler!1!!” memes, but it’s hard to do so when I realize I’m talking to someone who actually thinks sexism against women and racism against minorities isn’t a real issue, much less homophobia and transphobia, and thinks that straight white dudes are the “real victims” of discrimination.
You are the problem. You’re a tool. You’re outsmarted by even worse human beings. They played you for a fool. Get professional psychiatric help.
Respectfully, you’re delusional. Idk how your mind immediately went from feminist gender abolitionism jest to violence and extremism, and what seems to be a rant about how social progress for disprivileged peoples akstchually make our enemies hate us more so we should stop advocating for them, but it’s a bit concerning
Of course, as a cisgender white guy you’re not gonna be able to relate to targets of constant discrimination and you’re going to be prone to be blind to gender-based (and race-based among other forms of) discrimination in our society. It shouldn’t be too surprising that you see any advocacy for shift to equality in the social hierarchy as “extremist” and discrimination against your own group. But your comment is bordering on nega-empathy…
If you really care about inequality and you’re not a conservative or ““libertarian”” then it would do you a lot of good to watch The Alt-Right Playbook to get a perspective on the regressive talking points you’re repeating.
For real. I wish it were these people killing themselves with their stupidity, not others…
Feminism means gender goes into the shredder. No gender. FUCK gender, punk ass bitch ass social construct. Burn it at the stake!
Note: many feminists may or may not disagree
can i get two cocks
Considering after 15 seconds of looking at your profile, there’s this…
yeah I think it’s pretty obvious
The only ones to concern troll about their targets to the extent you do and complain about everything that doesn’t align with their political views being “too political” are conservatives. You aren’t concerned about the wellbeing of anyone, you want to exterminate the “others” and think you’re smart by using the most basic manipulation tactic of conservatives – feigning concern for the welfare of the people you want to get rid of as a means to make people think your position is acceptable.
Also you support the displacement and genocide of Palestinians by Israel. You seem to be joyful at the thought of Israel’s colonization of Palestine resulting in the destruction of the natives and establishment of a new ethnostate atop their corpses. You are definitely racist as fuck even disregarding the obvious immigration rhetoric and conservative talking points
That’s painful to look at, I can’t agree that it’s easily readable
I feel as though the “human trafficking” part is more important than the bourgeois dog, why isn’t that in the headline? Or specifying the work hours or exact pay (under $8/day)?
The anime fandom is extraordinarily sexual. It makes sense when you see that in general, anime is one of the most casually extremely objectifying/sexualizing/tokenizing things you can find… specifically towards women and queer people. Even yuri (lesbian) animes tend to be shounen (aimed at young men) and often are very fetishistic, and anything that resembles queerness is usually used in shounen animes specifically as fan service to their male audience.
There are MANY animes that I guarantee you only exist for the purpose of porn (more specifically, designed to get popular from people making & spreading porn of them). Rampant and unavoidable horny fan service is a plague
In Italy, you have to travel to whatever city you have residence in to vote. A lot of (mostly progressive) people have to fly across the country to cast their vote, apparently it sucks for them

On an unrelated note, here are clips of people bump firing pistols and M1 Garands
