Glad I went with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk over this.

This has been a thing in Japan even before the population crisis. This has been a thing in other Asian countries besides Japan! What’s next? “Japan’s economy is so bad, they’re using paper for their doors!” Japan’s population and economic problems are apparent. Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?

Oh hey lemmygrad user, funny you should mention that…

What I don’t get is what is stopping people from joining a smaller instance more adjusted to their tastes? Like if you join large instance made for the general user, don’t be surprised if you see a political opinion or meme you disagree with. world and ml tend to block only the most egregious of instances.

There are plenty of instances that cater to the political and social leanings of people if you really can’t stand being outside a bubble, but fediverse isn’t simply one site, and you can’t bully or complain your way into shaping the culture of lemmy or fediverse in general. That is part of the beauty of this site, and for how many here complained about the homogeneity of reddit, its funny how now the big complaint is people are seeing opinions they don’t like.

There are simple solutions to all of that, but it involves being proactive in the users and communities you block, and being selective of the instance(s) you join.

With pleasure.

Waiting for lemmygrad to try to convince us how this is a good thing.

Right. It sound like you are just fine with it as long as its not monopolized. Or at least committed by the right powers.

Oh you mean like the 19th century, when there were several European powers carving up Africa, Asia, and the Pacific?

Absolutely bonkers how a terror organization like LOTT can operate in broad day light and face no legal consequences, let alone any from the public in general.

I have nothing to hide. I’m a dumb irresponsible formerly conservative queer person who is still learning and who says stupid shit all the time, some of it I even come to regret. It’s all there for anyone who wants to judge my character. Happy reading. Hopefully your assessment of me is more forgiving than @Hyperi0n.

I just know they are going to attempt the first 24 hour movie in my lifetime.

Well looky there. The Georgia yankee tryin t’tell me howta pronounce his alma mader!

I said I understand why people feel the need to include terms that are already covered by the Q in LGBTQ, but overextending the acronym and including symbols and numbers causes confusion, defeats the purpose of the acronym, and makes people who are not included feel left out.

The whole point of my argument was I think queer should be the go to term cause it covers everyone and leaves nobody out.

What about the word queer implies that?

For advocating for an all inclusive term rather than an acronym that can be chopped to exclude people?

Yeah fuck me I guess.

Don’cha be correctin’ my gammar like some kinduv harvard elite!

Its ma dialect, y’ain’t gonna tell me how t’contract n conjugate!

I think you and I agree on more than we may think. At the end of the day, I want everyone in the community to feel not only included, but unified as well.

I understand the word still hurts others, but so do so many other words commonly used within queer spaces. Gay is still used as a slur and pejorative and yet is still used universally amongst the gay community. I think part of the reclamation process is not only using the word whenever you can, but taking pride in the word as you do it. I do mean it when I say I feel warmth and love in the word queer, and I try to extend that to anyone I use it to describe. If someone within the community expressed discomfort in the word though, I wouldn’t use it for them.

And I think at the end of the day you and I can agree we need an all encompassing term. Something that is inclusive, easy to say, versatile, and if possible, steeped in tradition within the queer community, I personally feel queer is the best candidate for that term, but I would be welcoming to better suggestions.
