Atheism is not a religion, therefore you get no rights or tax exemptions

I get what you mean, but my point was more about the fact that they're not mentally healthy places and I have a strong suspicion they're filled with people who have been traumatized or forced into hating the other gender, often for good reasons. Lemmy is completely gender neutral to me, I never know anyone's gender and don't think about it. If you don't have a good pre-existing condition/reason to be there, then you, a mentally healthy person, will start developing hate and similarly traumatized mentality towards the other gender.

It's like not knowing what Islam is, and suddenly joining IS-hating subreddit and then revolving your islam knowledge around isis. See the problem?

anything that excludes you is a "echo chamber circlejerk"?

This is such a shallow and stupid way of thinking. Was this your best strawman argument?

You should do some introspection and double-check if this is a mentality you want to live your life by.

I do. I generally look at groups who disregard or make fun of others purely based on race or gender as not mentally healthy places to be in, like incel subreddits.

The formula tends to also be quite simple - take something a man/woman says, then find a funny counter-argument in the thread, screenshot the two together and you got a post. Does not matter which gender we're talking about, it's pretty much always the same. Some reddit subreddits were borderline extremist in this approach, showing signs of aggression or calls for violence towards women.

What's the context for these protests? I'm out of loop, what dis UCLA do to deserve such protests and unrest?

Is Australia speedrunning into CCP ideology? Constantly weird laws, and recent porn ban on steam/itch also came because of Australian group.

This makes no sense. Cats can recognize any other animal being other species, but somehow that fails with humans? What logic is there?

Invested in a drone company that's providing drones to Ukraine, which, as usual, triggered Russia into a disinfo wave and now half of the world is mad without realizing that it's not some Israeli company, but for EU sovereignity (ie. No longer relying on American drones).

It was part of series B funding and spotify joined other EU companies: https://helsing.ai/newsroom/helsing-raises-eur600m-to-invest-in-european-technological-sovereignty

If you now hate spotify because EU wants to produce it's own drones that are being (already) supplied to Ukraine, then congratulations, you're an useful fool to Russia.

I answered to a comment that said "Qobuz, which is from France". I was quite clearly, obviously arguing that bit, not the companies. My point was that western europe is not the moral high ground and something being from France does not automatically, by default, make it better.

Are you people having comprehension problems?

How do you think language in our brains work? Just like many things in tech (especially cameras), things are often inspired by how it works in nature.

Do elaborate. Me, an European, and everyone around me, fully knows that nordic countries have better privacy and social laws, which is why many use VPN to ie. Norway, not France, where you will likely get interesting letters. The only exception here could be Switzerland.

Western Europe is also currently pushing for age verification laws and messaging surveillance.

USA didn't give nukes to Israel and the neighbour thing you talk about was already tried in arab-israeli war.
