Technique to build familiarity. Obviously doesn’t work on everyone but for those it does it’s quite effective
Literally anyone that’s trying to sell you something whether it’s a product, service or ideology is likely to use it if it may increase their chance of success.
More often this is not the case at all. Constantly repeated someone’s name more often than necessary can be a form of patronizing condescension. This would also make much more sense in OPs context of a Christian apologist condescending to a non believer.
I can see how what you and I described may seem different but it’s in reducing the concept I described to absurdity that derives what you’re talking about. Because it’s true, people use familiarity as an attempt to undermine another. I try to emphasize the good in life but it’s important to recognize that it’s not all roses and rainbows, it’s shit and dirt too.
In the past imgbb was used to post CSAM to some communities so some instances remove links to images hosted on it (or I guess ban the user in the instance you were on)
Edit: seems like that was lemmy.world, reach out to their community team and ask to be unbanned if you want your account unbanned, seems like they did that for someone else in the past
Why not raise the request while being nice? You’d be surprised how much spam and scam I remove every day. So I wrote a bot that will do parts of it for me. The bot is not perfect and there will be false positives. If you contact the admins instead of calling them dicks, you might actually improve the Automods in use and prevent another false positive!
I hear what you’re saying. I don’t see the methods you listed working under our government as our system has this flaw where the laws enforced tend to depend on which party is in charge.
That being said, organize your workplace. I’m personally fond of the Industrial Workers of the World as we are the only union that has an anticapitalist stance and our industrial organizing methods make it harder for employers to create division amongst the workers of a workplace (ie: separate unions for school teachers and school maintenance staff).
The advice People give in the comments it’s absolutely funny, it reeks of people who never leaves their house, or is women giving advice or some western Buddhist bullshit about letting go.
Would asexuals really have that bad of a time in a country that is not that supportive of LGBT? I don’t think not wanting to have sex is seen as bad by people who dislike LGBT?
Any religious argument against LGBT folks works just as well on Ace folks. (Which is to say they don’t, but the people making the arguments think they do)
In my country especially (it’s Morocco), so many people think it’s a bad idea to not get married and not have children (which requires sex anyway) simply because it’s so engrained in our society to do that. Blame the state religion.
Idk why, but when I told my dad I wanna be celibate, he called me an atheist, which I’m not.
Also, asexualism is technically a part of LGBT, just in a very secondary manner. If people know about the full picture, they’ll start threatening you.
Trump appears to be suffering from a serious cognitive decline since he was last president. He was never the sharpest spoon in the drawer, but it’s bad now. If he’s still alive in five years, I don’t think he’ll be capable of doing anything other than drooling on himself.
Trump is old. Republicans have been stressing how old Biden is–and using his life-long speech impediment as evidence–but Trump trails Biden by only four years of age. They’re both at an age where you start seeing a sharp divergence in cognitive abilities, where some people take a nosedive into dementia and senility, while other people retain their mental faculties while their body fails. Trump seems to be the former.
I’m against it. Men and women are built differently. That’s the point.
You can’t take a pill, chop off some parts and be the other gender.
A men’s track and field Olympic gold medalist should not be able to then have his hormones suppressed then be able to compete in the women’s events. That does not undo all the development that occurred previously.
Teenagers are still developing, both mentally and physically. They should not be able to change either. A lot of things are happening and they don’t understand. The maturity needed to make such a decision is too big.
Could a white person identify as black? And vice versa? I see gender in a similar light.
