I usually keep my phone in my coat or a bag even though I have large pockets, what does that tell you?

I loved Veep, it's hilarious to me watching it now that basically any scandal on that show would be completely innocuous compared to what we have been dealing with since it ended.

I can't imagine a better response even if she knew what he meant. "What do you mean Donald? Our meeting is Wednesday, did you forget?"

I don't have that experience, I've seen a lot of the same users many times. A lot of people come here as a first step into the fediverse also. I first heard of Lemmy.world after trying to find a better reddit alternative, I may have made an account, but found a different federated instance that was more to my liking.

I feel insulted every time Windows has some sort of pop-up or notification that is obviously manipulative, like making it appear that I HAVE to make Edge my default browser and putting ads for Edge and other Microsoft products on the lock screen disguised as 'fun facts'. The people making these decisions don't respect the autonomy of people, they want to force us into habits that benefit Microsoft to the detriment of the user.

It could be a difference in our countries, in the US we learn a LOT about the holocaust and Nazism, WW2, etc, so most people I know politically aware will go out of their way to assure you that they are not speaking about Judaism in general. Who are these 'many on the left' being antisemitic? I simply haven't seen that, not any more than it might have occurred before this current war, which was rare. It doesn't seem difficult for most to separate the actions of a violent organization like the IDF and right-wing Israeli officials from Jewish people in general.

Older people have had more history with the term, seeing people burn their bras in the 70s for example. My uncle, around 60, said he loved feminism because it was great when women starting not wearing bras and dressing in more revealing things haha.

I can't imagine being born after Youtube and Facebook were created. Propaganda through media is incessant and young people have been subjected to the most potent forms for their entire lives.

Yeah bots can downvote, I'm saying it's easy to say something was downvoted because of bots, there is no way to prove it right or wrong. It's also very possible that many actual people disagree with the comment.

it would be considered

If you asked the majority of people on earth outside of the US it already is seen this way.

Armed insurrectionary incremental reformism

Isn't that just the US?

It's hard to make that claim when it constantly screams at you about what you're doing wrong, at least where I'm at they have the volume set aggressively high when it notices something off
