ContrarianTrail

I haven't ever needed to wait. I go in, hand them my ID, they cross my name off the list, hand me the ballot, I go to the booth and write a number, dude stamps it, I drop it to the box and I'm out. Takes about 3 minutes from when I step out of my car untill I'm back in again.

That's a really black and white way to look at it. These are complex issues. Any attempt to find a simple explanation to them is by definition going to be oversimplifying it massively.

the assumption that their compliments are all or mostly insincere

I disagree that this is being claimed here. Stereotypes don't imply that everyone, or almost everyone in that group is like that.

I hope people realise that simulation theory doesn't actually imply that someone is actively micromanaging the simulation. The point of a simulation kind of is to just let it run and see what happens.

Sure, and not just that. Most, if not all people I know of whom I'd consider a 'normal' don't spend time commenting on social media. By definition, everything we read on here comes from this self-selecting group of people who do not represent the majority.

I specifically post here with the expectation of being challenged. That's the whole point of it. I love a good debate.

I've always just muted users instead of blocking anyway. I don't care if they see what I post. I just want them out of my sight

So Twitter is one step closer to being like Lemmy

That user is on my blocklist so I haven't seen their comment and I was asking you anyway.

incorrect stereotype

I'd argue it's not, in fact, incorrect. Sure you can say it is but that doesn't really prove anything. Stereotypes stem from reality.

if you swapped either or both of the characters in the comic out for men, it would no longer work as a joke.

Ofcourse it wouldn't. It's a stereotype about women. If you made the same joke about men it wouldn't be funny because it would be completely made up. Equivalent joke about men would be two guys being nasty and talking shit to eachother but neither actually meaning it.

Ever been to Lemmy?

You still haven't explained what's deeply misogynistic about this cartoon. Or was that a joke too?

Not all women, no, but some definitely are. Stereotypes come from reality. While they don't apply to every individual, it does apply on a group level especially when compared to other groups. If this was completely made up nobody would find it funny. People find it funny because there's a kernel of truth there. It's not misogynistic to aknowledge that women as a group act differently to men.
