We just want the US to stop giving Israel money and weapons. How is that so fucking hard to understand?

It’s not a feminist’s job to call out femcels. No one is responsible for someone else’s actions.

Bro, let’s stop pretending that men are in the driver’s seat for women’s behavior. They are grown adults. I’m not saying you’re all wrong, this kind of behavior is often understandable. Having said that, lot of the toxicity I see has nothing to do with men’s actions, it’s just people bullying other people and getting a dopamine rush from it.

Stuff like saying how stupid and simple minded the male mind is in a story about boys underperforming girls in school. Things that are rooted in resentment but not directly tied to any asshole in particular, and wouldn’t be considered acceptable if they were flipped the other way around. Another one I saw recently was that men should be subjected to genital mutilation so they know what it’s like (which is a good one considering how normalized circumcision is). Cruelty for the sake of cruelty. Does it come from resentment? Maybe, but since when was it appropriate behavior to take our grievances out on everyone?

What I’m saying is that there’s a lot of genuine bullying out there that can’t be justified as a reaction to others.

Grownups of all genders aren’t taking responsibility for things they say. It’s like everyone’s turning into their own little Donald trump and can say whatever fucked shit that’s on their mind, and their in-group immediately validates, excuses and reinforces it.

It’s usually family members or acquaintances, not strangers.

Bro we can all tell you’re just looking for excuses to justify government violence when it suits you.

You can pull the mask off now, we know what you are.

Usability isn’t sad. I have vision problems and I very much appreciate the simplicity of flat designs.

Complicated designs aren’t always better designs.

I think flat design makes sense for logos too, for the exact same reason it makes sense for icons. Flat logos are easier to recognize and see, especially from far away.

I’m not saying this logo great or anything but I don’t think it’s fair to claim that everyone using flat design is just a trend chaser.

I really like the simplicity of flat design. It makes things easier to find and recognize, especially for icons. Also easier for people with poor eyesight. It caught on for a reason.

Lemmy loves to shit on designers but there’s no way the designer had the autonomy to come up with this on their own. 100% guaranteed this idea came from marketing or an executive.

To be fair the book also gave away the plot.

Taking their money away isn’t enough. These billionaires often have deep connections to people who could easily help them regain their wealth and power. I’m not sure what the answer is but taking the money won’t solve the problem in every case.
