I sent this post to my friend. His response:

This feels so wrong, can 15 other people downvote so I don't feel bad 🥹

It's so sad because if you look at their resumes, Usha Vance is actually much more accomplished than her husband. Peter Thiel just prefers JD, I guess.

Most of these comments are reddit levels of snarky and unhelpful, wow.

"How do I keep up my style?" Top comment: "I don't, and neither should you."

Great, thanks. Just because someone's hobby isn't tinkering with their Linux-variant for 5 hours a day doesn't mean it's worthless, especially to them. A lot more men are into fashion than Lemmy would have you believe, OP, don't get discouraged!

My advice is that if you have no clue where to start looking at "trends", I always recommend going to see what the big menswear fashion brands are doing in their seasonal collections and seeing if there's any outfits, silhouettes or pieces you're drawn to. Trying to find versions of those at your price point is the easiest way. And if you like things from a few seasons past, even better, because you'll definitely find them at thrift stores and 2nd hand resell sites like Poshmark/Depop/etc for a fraction of the price.

Also look for natural fabrics (cotton, silk, linen), not polyester. Tencel and Lenzing ecovero are good alternatives of you need the elasticity and smoothness certain polyester fabrics have but can't splurge on the higher cotton/silk quality. Polyester tends to trap smells, degrades quickly, and is basically recycled plastic clothing. Best to avoid.

I'm not a legal expert, hence the "I think". That's just what I've been told from my educators, specifically at the federal level and the campaign finance laws around it. I'm more than happy to be corrected.

I know provinces choose to not run candidates in riding they believe are disadvantageous in order to give the other center-left candidates a chance. But provincial election laws are dictated by the provincial entities.

It seems like you're asking in good faith, so I'll be serious. I genuinely don't feel the "invisible hands of the mods" or what it is you're feeling in most of my online interactions. I don't even think about a 3rd party managing our conversations, and especially not on Lemmy of all places.

I say whatever I want to say, and let the upvotes/downvotes/likes/replies dictate whether my words were well or poorly received. If it was something that was unintentionally offensive, I'll apologize. If it was intentionally offensive, I'll eat the consequences of that (which is barely anything because it's the internet, who cares). That's it.

The worst censorship I've experienced was on Tiktok, when I told a 15 year old to "STFU bitch you can't even vote" and got muted for a week 😂 (unless my admin on Lemmy decides to ban me now because I'm currently jobless and chronically online using up too much bandwidth.)

And you are magnanimous for doing so. If someone came into my house and tried to dictate their rules to me, I'd be fuming.

This is why I'm not a mod 🤡

The culture of...having admins to maintain our servers? Dawg just make your own instance then, problem solved. Why is this even up for discussion? The whole point of the fediverse is you can set up your own server and connect with others under your own rules. If you want a mod-free space, you can literally make that.

If you believe in unmoderated spaces that much to argue about it, but aren't actually willing to make it yourself when it's simple enough to do so, you're just another social media agitator wasting time.

Holy shit, almost double the next person. Dude is in the twilight of his career, he could have told them to fuck off with little consequences at this point.

"Free speech is I get to say whatever I want, and you have to sit there and listen to me!!"

That's not free speech, that's a hostage situation.
