Telling male children who have feminine tights they must be female is what is happening and it is hurting boys.

This one just confuses me, I thought I heard all the talking points at this point (luckily the next sentence is much more familiar)

I’m genuinely wondering if the cold war was any better than a third world war, because it still wrecked various countries in Asia, Africa and South-America

The other day I was thinking about tensions that exist in part because of British-drawn borders. Israel-Palestina, India-Pakistan. Can’t believe I forgot NI.

This is especially a problem because I have them for like 10 instances I visited once, throughout the year. I guess it’s not expiring?

You should also be careful with merging posts if they’re in communities with a very different comment culture. Like, merging a pro-thing and an anti-thing post isn’t going to make anyone happy. Or merging one on a meme community and one with tightly enforced rules.

I feel like an adjacent one is having good conversations with people from very different countries (ideally face-to-face)

Swap out The Wild Robot and Fallen Leaves for Beau is Afraid and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and you have my list, nice

Computer science has absolutely nothing to do with support, they are totally different fields with totally different skill sets.

That also holds for computer science and programming :)

It does not 😂. Schwör = swear, so putting it back together it’s something like forswearing.

…yes? Why wouldn’t it be

The lemmy.world thread reminds me of a similar “racism on the fediverse” thread, and the occasional thread about misogyny (dismissive, uninterested and/or personally offended)

Democratic socialism (DemSoc) is a specific term (not to be confused with SocDem). Unless your point was that DemSoc is a bad term?

Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes!^[1]

Policing just tone is how you get very polite and nicely-worded conversations about exterminating untermenschen “human biodiversity”

With statements like this there’s almost always some context left out, but even in the best case this feels like cheering on the death penalty

EDIT: I see that the “fediverse” link for posts has been removed.

It’s still there, just not when the post/comment comes from the instance you’re on. Even though the post is to a lemmy.ml community, it’s from lemmy.world so that’s where the fediverse link goes to.

There’s also something that looks like pink Morse code, near the top

At the same time that’s one of the bad parts of anonymous discussion. You never know if someone’s an expert or a random person guessing (on ELI5), engaging in good faith or purposely trolling, etc.

The other day I heard a random (young) girl say “what the sigma” and I had trouble keeping it together

Yeah smart kids can be very immature
