Made the switch as soon as sync shut down on reddit. Then, tried my best to figure this place out so I had a decent head start when sync reopened for lemmy! Been here ever since.
The app I use let’s me filter out certain words. So instead of blocking entire communities, I’ve just blocked specific content I don’t want to read.
Now that the US election cycle has started, I’ve blocked out everything I could think of that concerns dems and Republicans. No constant Trump is shit posts or Biden is akshualy good posts or the climate death is here posts or any garbage that’s meant to stress me out.
Probably always be rude to this guy I work with. He threw a baby tantrum at a work Foosball tournament, then hid in his cubicle for a week and then just started showing up again without an apology to anyone.
If what’s the case? If my personal feelings on the matter are the case? They are the case, it makes no difference that there’s not a big push in the uk for women to have guns, I feel this way because I feel this way.
Well, what I said still stands, you can fly guns through NZ no problem.
But knowing I couldnt bring one in to Antarctica is just another reason why I wouldn’t go as a woman, personally. Unable to protect myself if I need to.
If I were a woman in the uk and I was told I’m not allowed to use a gun to protect myself from a rapist because it happens less than in the US, that’s not going to make me feel any better. It still happens.
That will do nothing. People who get off on it aren’t going to suddenly not get off on it because you repeat a bunch of words to them. There’s never been a moment in history where rape hasn’t been desired for by a percentage of the population, and unless you’ve implemented some sort of Equalibrium-type society where everyone is force-fed regular injections that keep them compliant, it’s not happening.
Don’t get me wrong, teaching works for most people, but not all. It’s not going to be eliminated by talking theory at them that forcing someone to submit to them sexual no longer means power.
