That’s because it’s exaggerated, and the kids play into it rather than cringing and moving on like you might have when you were a kid and adults tried using your slang. The reason is that unlike previous generations, gen Z has incorporated it into youth culture as a result of the current state of the internet and has a name to call it by: brainrot.

Why do people engage with anything that makes them uncomfortable? Horror? Tragedy? It’s just morbid curiosity. It’s not a bad thing, really. Any exploration of the human condition is incomplete without a look at the darker side. Some need more light in their entertainment to help the medicine go down, and that’s OK too.

If rights aren’t universal they may as well not exist. To defend the rights of another is to defend your own. Remember that next time you see the rights being violated of someone you feel deserves it.

How can I better explain it to you in a way you will understand?

When you have no idea what you’re talking about, you should simply say nothing.

Not all second homes are private property necessarily. If you work out of it then it’s personal property, like if you’re using it as a vacation rental and doing all the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you hire someone else to do the work for you then it becomes private property. My preferred way of explaining the distinction is that private property is akin to absentee ownership, while personal property is stuff that is in active use by you personally.

I commented on a politics@lemmy.world post about a bunch of CEOs of publicly traded companies endorsing Kamala Harris saying that it hurts her campaign more than it helps and I got downvoted and had people replying to me saying “um, actually most people look up to CEOs, you’re the one out of touch.” I’m feeling pretty vindicated rn.

This is how I see the map. Didn’t notice CO was green until a comment mentioned it.

If I were living in that apartment complex I’m going door to door and disabling the WiFi on every oven.

“Treat women and children like property. Always blame victims. Take slaves from neighboring countries, never your own.”

Lots of great lessons in that holiest of books.

It does, you just need more of it. A lot more.

The majority of Germans denounced the nazi party because of social pressure to conform, which is coincidentally the same reason the majority of Germans went along with the nazi party when they were in power. The majority of people in general are so politically disengaged that they may as well be leaves blowing in the wind.

Did we read the same story? Both the man and the woman in this story were willing participants. You’re so dead set on being aggrieved by imagined persecution against men that you have to conjure up fantasies to validate your resentment.

If we assume this story to be true, and they really did set up an elaborate semen delivery mechanism using bed sheets strung through the ventilation system, that practically guarantees mutual consent. Every part of this scheme requires the full cooperation of both parties.

Don’t underestimate the corruptive influence of power and privilege either. I know it’s unpopular to humanize the people who ruthlessly exploit others, but they aren’t necessarily innately selfish, and are just as much a product of circumstance as others. The wealthy are perhaps the most alienated from the material and human cost of their wealth by a system that is designed to do so, and they are rewarded for behaving selfishly.

If you reduce the complexity of the world to “most people are good but the few bad people ruin it for everyone,” then you run the risk of thinking that the solution to the problem is to remove the “bad people” from power and replace them with “good people.” You’ll inevitably be disappointed when the “good people” turn out to be “bad people” after experiencing power and privilege.

Of course, they were supposed to do performative activism to give the museum free publicity, not real activism that challenges the capitalist status quo responsible for the climate crisis that the museum leadership benefits from.

¿Por que no los dos?

The one saying they use copilot for math problems is the worst part. It demonstrates their complete lack of critical thinking.
