It’s beautiful lol, your skills are apt. I meant the Batman on the building silhouette but this is equally cool

The people that countries pay to pretend to be normal everyday users in order to spread state propaganda?
Edit: in this case ‘both’ refers to the image particularly portraying two countries
Did we ever learn anything about that guy? It seemed like a huge unsolved mystery.
The media machine didn’t wanna stay on that one though, I imagine cause they didn’t wanna give people ideas. Another attempt happened a little later but it was even less successful.
They out here. Both of them. This post smells just like one tbh.
Before any of us were alive. Some would say before centralized banking in the early 20th
Someone should adjust the silhouette to look like Mario bros Luigi
My comment was more toward the first influencing an individuals relationship with the second if that makes sense.
don’t trust improvement
*By a corrupt government which has proven itself to mismanage funds as a default.
Can’t really speak to NYC local but time will tell. Although to give them credit, most NYers I’ve met enjoy their public transportation. But the admonishment of general government expenditure distrust is completely valid imo
Thank you for trying to give a well documented take on the effects of biological sex on gender identity on Lemmy lol
When you disagree with “gender is a social construct” in a casual setting, intentionally or not, you’re conveying the statement “gender is innately tied to biological sex, there are precisely two, and trans people are invalid”.
Wild to see such a binary view on this given the context. How can this be taken to be any less constraining (to someonen who views gender as a spectrum) than the view that “there are only two biological genders”?
Dandelion is giving examples on how it is not necessarily a social construct and providing examples and sources. That portions of gender have a propensity to be tied to biological sex.

It’s not you who isn’t American, it’s the current governing body.
Third party corruption investigations and prosecutions are needed on every branch of high level government.
The tone is set from the top. Hold the top accountable and the rats will cease to try and climb.
It’s cool that we get to see Idiocracy worldwide, not just the US version. Every dystopia gets its own cultural flare. So cute.
Thank you. Sadly, the concept of legitimizing a government isn’t something most people understand enough to appreciate.
Line must go up. They probably see themselves as brave by continuing to follow Friedman’s shareholder logic in the face of these events.
Bottom image is from Generation Kill. That show was fucking amazing. Lauded as one of the most realistic depictions of Marines in the Iraq war and filled with digs at military leadership (like the one in the caption). Won a bunch of awards including Emmys.
but I doubt it’s an entirely ignorant decision coming from a company known to be good at manipulating it’s users.
Damn good point! As a counter, corporate leadership is often surrounded by yes men and insulated from the masses. The meta verse and apples AR flop cost them a lot of money as a result. (Not sure if fb totally gave up on meta tbh)
Sex researchers Baumeister and Tice wrote about sexual economics.
“A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange.”
From an evolutionary standpoint it makes sense that women wouldn’t want a partner that can’t provide security for the couple when the woman would be vulnerable if pregnant/nursing.
Young men in particular have fewer resources of value to offer than at any time in most people’s lives. To that point, it’s not like young women are dating any better, so even if they are willing to be the sole provider, most are unable to do so.
With the traditional partnership which historically provided companionship out of the question, men are left yearning for female companionship.
Another point the researchers make, is that men will always yearn, while women have a generally easier time abstaining until conditions are right.
The material wealth is cool and all, but theres a shame and guilt that comes with being complicit in certain atrocities as well as the denial of material wealth to the citizens of many of the countries which we economically colonize.
And for an increasing number of people, the material wealth part is fading. Then there’s the illusion of democratic participation to which more people are beginning to become cognizant of. Oh boy.
