The second Apple rolled out face ID, I knew this tech was ready and waiting for forced ads

No, but deciding to comment is a choice you made, not something out of your control like something appearing in your feed.

I actually mentioned that in a comment above. Reddit used to be just as bad, if not worse indeed, but that doesn't excuse Lemmy by any means. I do hope that it's a good indicator that Lemmy will get better with time, though.

So tangential storytime: my husband recently discovered one of these channels (not sure if it's this one or just a similar one), and specifically this goddamned song called "I glued my balls to my butthole again." He will. Not. Stop. Playing it. He thinks it's fucking hilarious, especially the more I roll my eyes.

Anyway, yes these channels are a blight, something needs to be done about them, and if anyone needs a husband they can find mine on the curb blasting that song on a loop lmao

Idk how unprecedented it is, it's happening in Oklahoma too, unfortunately

Goodness gracious, it's almost like you're commenting on the thread almost a day later and maybe the comments are a bit different now, as opposed to earlier.

It's a lot like Reddit was back in the old days in that way :/

No.

The undercurrent of misogyny is so so rampant on Lemmy, worse even than reddit was. Posts like this bring it right out. I can't believe how many upvotes some of these red-pill-ass comments have. It's really discouraging to see and often makes me too nervous to speak up on women's issues here on Lemmy, lest I be absolutely brigaded.

At least the bear can't use a keyboard and thus wouldn't be able to try and bully me into shutting up on the internet, so there's another instance where I'd choose a bear over a random man.

Just like internalized misogyny is very much a thing in women, internalized racism is a thing, too. It's sort of like a poor person aligning themselves with the rich against their own interests, if that's easier for you to visualize. All that to say, I agree with the other commenter— that cop is blue.

He wrote this for himself in his Meditations. So he wasn't telling this to anyone but himself, therefore not 'gaslighting' anyone. Beyond being a roman emperor, he is also a pretty respected philosopher, and that generally doesn't happen without having something interesting to say on the subject.
