heck yeah

whenever i'm on my lemmy.ml account and i see something horrifyingly hateful and/or condescending, it's a .world user like 90% of the time

it's gotten to a point where i don't even like to go outside of hexbear anymore because it's just upsetting to see all this reddit-tier shittiness on a platform that used to be so pleasant in its early days. wish it had grown organically instead of having that exodus of reddit's dregs honestly, but at least most of them seem to have congregated on one particular (blockable) instance

i've seen multiple lgbtq couples out and about in various chinese cities (guangzhou especially and i've been told it's not even the gayest city there)

i myself look kinda androgynous and i got a few (polite and friendly) questions about my sex in some of the less diverse cities, but nobody was ever unkind or confrontational about it, which i can't say about the US

there was also a foreign series about a gay couple i think that blew up in china a couple years back. i forget what it's called but i remember the wikipedia article having some bullshit about it being popular "in spite of depictions of homosexuality being banned"

what the hell are they even trying to do with this?

it is in fact a bad thing that marginalized people venting in response to bigotry is equated to actual bigotry

this is straight up just "not all men" discourse but the word "men" has been replaced with "he/hims" [2]

the ones who aren't peddling misogyny aren't the ones being scrutinized, and when i say that there's a problem with men i shouldn't have to clarify that i don't specifically mean every single man who exists, it should be a fucking given. all this discourse does is muddy the waters and make it harder to express that yes, this demographic is being particularly hostile to others.

why is this still a discussion on this site? holy shit

this is straight up just "not all men" discourse but the word "men" has been replaced with "he/hims"

observing that a disproportionate amount of misogynistic takes come from he/hims isn't the same as saying "literally all he/hims are bad and that includes you"

tom morello is pretty cool i guess

to think this guy is president of the united states now

liberals should support china by their own logic

say every accusation they have against china committing genocide is true, they've already made it clear genocide is an acceptable compromise in the face of a greater evil, and china is clearly the lesser evil compared to the united states.

all the things they say china is supposedly doing wouldn't hold a candle to what the US has been doing regularly to muslims for decades now

i sure do love it here in the land of the

these power-tripping losers just can't help themselves when they see someone totally defenseless

this is the kinda cartoonishly evil shit that would be panned as too unrealistic were it in a work of fiction

yeah, it compliments the flavor of coffee really well imo

10, although there are a couple of these i've been meaning to try.

i'm in a weird spot where i actually want to play video games but i find it hard to be motivated to, and even most of the ones i have played just couldn't keep me interested. the last game i actually got hooked on and enjoyed all the way through was chrono trigger.

what kind of visa was it? i was able to get an L visa for 3-month stays and 10 year validity in about a week

though tbf i'm in the US and used swift and it was kinda expensive, but the consulate website is showing really fast processing times too

real

last time i did this i had a dream where i just kept peeing and peeing but the urge to pee wouldn't go away and i was freaking out
