That's absolutely fine. If you want to be wrong, that's your right.

I'm sorry if this offends you.

I wish I had your confidence that capitalism can be tweaked into a fair system.

I honestly think the logical end point to capitalism is self-destructive extreme wealth disparity.

Sorry pal, it's not me creating these "new" definitions of words. Take it up with the Gender Studies bods who are literal experts in this field.

No one is getting hurt because of factual logical opposition. Trans women are not real women. This is a biological fact.

Sorry, wrong on two counts.

Although they've been used interchangeably, because typically they align, sex and gender are two separate concepts. I'm sorry if this offends you.

Trans women are women (gender), although they are not biologically female (sex).

These are facts. I'm sorry if this offends you.

Tbh, it seems like you're the main party here sticking their fingers in their ears. If someone has already identified Lemmy as a place that doesn't welcome their prejudices, then would they still post that stuff here?

Look, I'll be helpful. If you want to dunk on trans people, go to Mumsnet - that place has turned into TERF Central.

"Oof. Right in the blocks"

"What a load of absolute blocks"

"It's the dog's blocks"

Camera zoom into extreme closeup. "oh... blocks".

Yep, that's the one.

When juries deliberate, they discuss their reasons for thinking this or that. Basically, by telling the jury to disregard something, the judge is saying that this shouldn't be included in the decision-making process.

Of course people can't just take things out of their heads, and of course the legal representatives take advantage of that fact.

Lemmy was released as an open-source fediverse alternative to Reddit.

Just over a year after launch, r/ChapoTrapHouse, moved across after being banned from Reddit. This is likely what you're referring to. It had well over 100,000 active users on Reddit, so represented a sudden sizable influx of users.

I'd wager the biggest influx of people by far, though, occurred when Spez upset a majority of mods and many users by banning third party apps.

People looked for an alternative, and Lemmy was it.

But why are so many people who lean left politically? Because the Venn Diagram for "people who like the idea of a decentralised platform that supports everybody and is free from the machinations of millionaires", and "people who would like society that supports everybody and is free from the machinations of millionaires" is nearly a circle.

Is this pipe?

For the international folk who might not know, "Cholmondeley" is pronounced "Chumly"

If you're the DM, you can just fall back on Rule Zero - the rules are what you say they are :)

You've done a really nice thing - I'm sure these kids will never forget it. I sometimes forget how much harder it was just to acquire stuff as kids.

And guess what I found when I opened my phone up? That's right, wires. The thing is filled with wires.
