This doesn’t discount the rest of your points but in Australia Dutton lost by a landslide, and also lost his own seat, so he’s out of parliament entirely.
We still have a lot of the racism and xenophobia issues fed by inequality and corporate interests, but Trump and his style is deeply unpopular here, which is partially why Dutton lost so badly.
Yep sorry. Your post is good, and your comment is good.
The other comments just shocked me and I have been reactionary. I should never have strayed into “All” probably.
You’re incorrect. I am disgusted by actual abuse, but I am also legitimately disgusted by the idea of anyone having sexualised thoughts about children. If you can tell me that these people have no control over that then you must be able to comprehend that as a parent I have no control over my protective instincts.
The idea of people who are sexually attracted to my children, or any children, being anywhere in the vaguest vicinity of them triggers very deep instinctual reactions. Whether those people intend to act or not.
I wouldn’t describe the feeling I’m having as my morals. My morals are conscious and deliberate.
Maybe you need to be a parent to understand… It is a visceral, deep in the gut feeling of fury and repulsion and rage.
Sorry but what the actual fuck are these comments???
Lemmy: yeh punch a nazi haha that’s awesome and deserved and cool
Also Lemmy: nooo don’t be mean to pedophiles they’re just misunderstood waaahhh it’s all QAnon propaganda
Fuck anyone who thinks abusing children is fine and normal. Fuck you all so hard to hell. Get the absolute fuck away from my kids.
I’m pretty damn left, but I have zero empathy at all for anyone who is thinking sexual shit about children. I’m livid. Holy shit.
I got a kilo of roo mince Monday for $13, beef mince was $20/kg
Oh god I almost don’t want to say this in this environment…
Techy people aren’t the most intelligent in other/all areas just because they have some technical expertise.
I have worked with, and interacted with people, all my life who are technically very intelligent in some specific way, and even been one of these people… Who thinks that one area of proficiency grants them unearned respect in other areas.
Eg." I’m great at maths therefore I’m logically infallible". Or “I’m an engineer, so I know exactly how society should function best”." I’m a doctor so my every opinion on everything is more important than yours".
“Almost more” seems nonsensical. Is it almost equivalent?
Are rates and ratios just too difficult? 529 in five months is much higher comparatively than 5** in four years.
Like, you could just say Trump has done airstrikes at more than 9 times Biden’s average so far.
Ah yes, the old “if I can’t impress girls with my skill I’ll impress them with belittlement and open hostility instead”
