That’s easy for you to say from your (obviously) majority position. Being othered in society has real consequences in people’s lives. YOU don’t experience them, but they are there.

Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada is leading the U.K. and France in boycotting American goods due to Trump’s tariffs2·1 month agoBe did say economic force. I’m correcting misinformation. He never threatened invasion, it just did not happen.

Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto News@lemmy.world•The weapons that National Guard troops now carry in Washington, D.C.4·1 month agoIf they are not capable of automatic or burst fire, they are not, in fact, assault weapons. That’s what the qualifier “select fire” means.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada is leading the U.K. and France in boycotting American goods due to Trump’s tariffs2·1 month agoTrump never threatened invasion or war with Canada. He threatened and started a TRADE war over the bs fentynal crisis, but there was never a discussion of military action. Hell, when he was specifically asked if he was considering military action, he responded, “No.”
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto Casual Conversation@piefed.social•Do you make your bed in the morning? Why/why not?3·1 month agoI make a half attempt at straightening it. My roommate uses my bed sometimes because they like my mattress better, so no reason to make it up proper.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto politics @lemmy.world•What to Know About Covid Vaccines This Fall5·1 month agoAfter reading the article, it should still be relatively easy to get one if pharmacies and doctors don’t play stupid. It seems like this move is meant to discourage people from even trying to get on or to cause hesitancy among providers in administering it.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto politics @lemmy.world•Flag burning incident near White House leads to arrest hours after Trump's executive order14·2 months agoThis idea that the military “fights for our freedom” needs to die. It’s complete horseshit. The last conflict the US military was involved in that could remotely be considered as a defense of Americans (the populace, not the oligarchs) was WW2. Everything since has been neocolonialism and gangster activity. Even prior to WW2, their primary function over their life has been genocide and colonialism. It was the US military that brought the world concentration camps. If there is any hope for Americans, we need to kill the civic religion.
In the US, that isn’t the case. “White” is treated as the default, and everyone else is “othered.” It is short hand for “not Caucasian.” It has changed now, but even hair products for black hair were labeled with signs as the ‘ethnic hair’ section for the majority of my life.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto World News@lemmy.world•4chan will refuse to pay daily UK fines, its lawyer tells BBCEnglish6·2 months agoThat’s wild and seems like a lot of wasted time, effort, and money. If it is really that serious put the onus on the ISPs in their jurisdiction to block it.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto Science Memes@mander.xyz•Doctors hate these simple tricks.English14·2 months agoIt is absolutely barbaric that this is “standard” in the US, particularly because some religious looney tune was obsessed with children’s masturbation. I don’t care if an adult of “sound mind” chooses to make alterations to their body, but it certainly should not be allowed on children, let alone infants.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto World News@lemmy.world•4chan will refuse to pay daily UK fines, its lawyer tells BBCEnglish8·2 months agoThat’s fair, I was so struck by the absurdity of the amount 😅.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto World News@lemmy.world•4chan will refuse to pay daily UK fines, its lawyer tells BBCEnglish71·2 months agoI would just ignore this as well. If some foreign government that I have zero ties or interests with sent me fines, they’d go in the trash/spam filter. They have zero ability to enforce them. Wasn’t it Russia and Google where Russia claimed Google had to pay some absurd multi-trillion dollar fine that exceeds all of the world currency? Kick rocks.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are americans so good at software engineering?11·2 months agoThat’s the one strength the US has ever had, immigration. So many inventions and industries exist because of immigrants. Most times it was in the face of rampant descrimination, segregation, violence, and attempts to shut them down or take it from them. It was the only part of the civic religion they indoctrinated us with as children that wasn’t complete bullshit.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•“Either Jeff Landry was a dirty cop and knew about the drugs, or he was the worst cop ever and couldn’t figure out that $10,000 worth of cocaine was being sold out of his house.”English1·2 months agoYeah, 10 grand is actually a reasonable estimate for 100g of cocaine in most regions of the US, depending on quality and how you’re selling. The low end would be about 6k wholesale.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Teenage boy arrested after death of 13-year-old girl in West YorkshireEnglish1·2 months ago16 and already a serial rapist, now murderer. Wtf?
Off topic: why are there two useless paragraphs at the end of the article repeating what the previous paragraphs said, almost identically.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•you ignore it until you can't anymoreEnglish5·2 months agoI’m not sure why you made two different comments, but ok.
This is exactly what I’m talking about, denial of reality. I’m not talking about propaganda, I’m talking about the science. I’ve been paying attention for the last 25 years, and we’ve unfortunately hit a point where massive suffering and death are inevitable due to inaction.
Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.comtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•you ignore it until you can't anymoreEnglish5·2 months agoGood for you?
I’m not saying I trust him. The original claim was that Trump threatened to invade Canada and go to war with Canada. That claim is untrue. It did not happen. At no point did it happen.
