I’m guessing you have not been alive long enough to remember that newspapers, especially tabloids, have always been demeaning of women. To be honest I think headline is timid sounding compared to twenty years ago, when tabloids were more popular and running sensationalist headlines, and the picture of the person being always the most unflattering. I don’t really see that kind of reporting nowadays, but it is now on social media where sensationalist shaming happens.

That’s good to know. But I can imagine the electricity bill.

ITT: people missed to poke fun at “blacksmithing”

Who on earth is blacksmithing as a hobby? Is that even possible except if your occupation is actually being blacksmith? Like, would you set up blacksmithing equipment in your garage?

Running out of movie ideas? Just crowdsource from the public!

I forgot about Second Thought. I googled about being him kicked out from Nebula and many people accuse him of having become a full on tankie.

I don’t really want to get invested in the drama but I’m not surprised. Last time I watched Second Thought, he had been more radicalised but I didn’t expect him to become a tankie.

Genuine question, what does anyone else think of Nebula? It’s very high quality but it doesn’t have random videos that you would turn off your mind and just watch.

Yeah but there is regulation on how to treat animals in abattoirs. This is still different thing to wanton torture of animals.

Many people change their minds at the last minute before casting their ballots. Polling is science, but not quite so at the same time.

If not a Russian agent, a fascism sympathizer.

Even when he is “pro-progressivism” it is usually in the form of a concern troll.

I have observed the same pattern with other users who are pro-Trump and pro-Russia. They would claim to profess an ideology and say they don’t support Russia and Trump, but then put their heads into the sand and pretend Trump and Russia did not do anything wrong.

Respectability politics.

Yeah, honestly all the smearing on Trump will not work if the opposition does not offer anything substantive.

Pretty much anything from Adele.

Change your server to another location. ISP blocks VPN addresses that have been tagged.

You mean to tell me, people have “you can’t tell me what to do” attitude, especially among men?

I only torrent if the show or movie I want to watch is unavailable on Netflix, and I don’t want to pay for subscription to another streaming service if such shows are available in those. I’m not made of money.

What is kind of putting me off Lemmy is the amount of tankies. I understand they are actually far left from Reddit who migrated, but they’re just damn idiots and are simping for Putin (yes, I’m aware that some of them could be St Petersburg-based Russian trolls larping as tankies).

There are pros and consc to having either large or small communities. Having many traffics is good to generate discussions. But then on the other hand, you encounter more idiots as a result.
