Earlier times featured slavery, neverending wars everywhere, and a lot of other sources of completely man-made misery.
Now we got to understand all lives matter, sudden deaths of people are perceived as a big tragedy, yet men are still less grieved upon.
That’s an interesting observation. I didn’t find such info in the source I posted, could you provide some if you have it on hand?
If not, it’s alright :)
What exactly? Dispensability of males? It is indeed common in the animal world, though not universal; besides, we don’t struggle to survive as a species, and culturally evolved to be humane.
It’s insane how much people are self-limiting with all those stereotypes. In my own relationship, I often help my loved one untangle a lot as well.
Culturally, men are often seen as more dispensable, as they are not the ones giving birth. They are also taught to be more “tough”, which leads to less visits to mental health professionals, and, subsequently, deterioration of mental health issues.
Happy to know I’m not the only one thinking this way!
Exactly! And I think being part of united community helps better understand the circumstances of others, which ends up helping everyone.
The topic of suicide is always very grim. Even scarier is how many people get on the verge of it, driven by hopelessness and despair.
Yeah, unfortunately, in the later years the term has been widely used by a lot of bigots to push something very different from the original idea.
Even Wikipedia now mentions both.

I only mean it in the original sense, and am happy that quite a few people agree that this community should have its place.
Happy to have you there! Feel free to post what you find interesting as well!
Masculism is a movement against gender-based discrimination of men.
It may take many forms, and, unfortunately, some of them are clearly misogynistic and often appropriated by people who are into patriarchy. Similarly, some forms of radical feminism do get misandric.
Those are not the flavors of feminism and masculism I talk about, and those are clearly against the community rules.
Among those feminists and masculists that call for true gender equality, however, contradictions are unnecessary since the end goal is exactly the same.
Think of !antisexism@lemmy.today as an attempt to form a wider group (men, women, and nonbinary) exploring gender inequality from different angles.
It is astounding how phrasing the same thing differently affects the perception of people.
No matter how you call it, the underlying principle is not forcing a person to give birth if they don’t want to. Simple as that.
Also, pro-abortion is the wrong term anyway, since it implies that everyone should make abortions (similarly to how pro-life advocates for everyone to give birth). This is closer to the line of antinatalists.
Pro-choice is exactly about giving everyone a choice: if you want to give birth, hooray! If you don’t, that’s alright too!
Which is why the right do everything to prevent folks from even communicating with trans individuals and to get trans people in the closet.
They know if people will be open, this will be a game over for the bigots.
Also what about games?
I still vividly remember some old poor graphics racing game that featured (Gary the Snail or Turbo?), but there were other characters as well. The race had twists and turns, there were rocks around. I swear that was not a weird child dream!
It federates very well with Masto, it’s just that the latter focuses on text and Pixelfed on pictures.
In fact, most of my Pixelfed feed comes from Mastodon.
Confirmed, can see it from lemmy.today!
Congrats!
They can be offered to choose.
Opt-out is always bad because it is meant to exploit users who are not aware that a certain feature can be turned off. Even among those who do, not all are confidently going through settings.
Depends on what you can realistically influence.
Might be worth it to tune to protest news, and also changes in your local area, if there are any.
Doomscrolling the feed will just make you continuously more obsessed with what ultimately screws your mental health to no benefit.
Startup on boot:
In Windows: cool and normal
In Linux: who the hell do you think you are?!
And I love it. Going Linux helps to focus on what you actually need, and adds so much to the peace of mind.
Here’s my guess, aside from highlighted token issues:
We all know LLMs train on human-generated data. And when we ask something like “how many R’s” or “how many L’s” is in a given word, we don’t mean to count them all - we normally mean something like “how many consecutive letters there are, so I could spell it right”.
Yes, the word “strawberry” has 3 R’s. But what most people are interested in is whether it is “strawberry” or “strawbery”, and their “how many R’s” refers to this exactly, not the entire word.
