"you're just not paying attention because you're not a trans ally"

yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don't think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don't know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity. Her letter was huge news.

Harry Potter fans have likely at least seen one or two hate comments about the video game or something. Stop bring so disingenuous... most people are online regularly ... particularly the generation of Harry Potter fans. You don't need to be terminally online to have heard about the wealthiest author in the world turning into the most prominent anti-trans advocate.

Obama won pretty hard though despite the racism, there were more people excited to see a black president than there were racists (although obviously there as a lot of vocal racism as well).

If Kamala tells a convincing story, I could see it working well.

It's not about my comments, it's mods getting into debates over them and then promising to retaliate. I'm talking about a pattern with certain mods

Yes exactly, Bernie has similar politics but doesn't get the same hatred. There were some Bernie voters who even hopped to Trump. They care more about sexism/racism than actual politics.

Yes, this is a normal thing to do. I'm against jokes at the expense of gender violence.

If someone posted a completely racist joke, and I criticized it, you could make this exact same comment.

I don't think employees on the edge of brokeness are getting stock options, that's more a thing to get with a 100k paycheck vs a 150k paycheck.

Okay I get this. The dude with stock could sell the stock, which would be a useful protest, or financially support the worker's rights movement.

One thing to note if you get one, you will get comments on your phone 😅

Not to me at all, way less bulky. It's thinner than my wallet, and since it's not long, it doesn't jam into my leg when I kneel or sit down. However, I don't have a case for it, not sure how it would feel with a case.

🙄 there are communist countries that are not Russia or China, just like there are capitalist countries that aren't the United States.

 

I am trying to make a decision. curious about your thoughts on my personal situation, and what you think in general. or your own stories if you have anything relevant...

 

I bought a cheap suit with the intention of making it look good through tailoring, but I don't know how to actually get that done. The local stores don't have websites and haven't picked up when I called, should I just walk in with the suit? Do I need an appointment? Also, how much should I expect to pay? (California)

I live a fair drive from the local alternation/tailor shops (rural life), so I figured I'd try to ask before making the drive out just to make a fool of myself.

 

Trying to wrap my head around the fediverse. Is each instance like another person with a server? Could that person just shut it down whenever they wanted to?

Are there any companies that have invested in hosting Lemmy/ other fediverse servers?

Sorry I'm sure I messed up some of the terminology, I hope my questions make sense! I love the idea of the fediverse as I understand it, but I like to dig into these details.
