Meanwhile, elsewhere in misogynist-land, this specimen is thought of as super-human.
- Comment on BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said America could dodge a ‘retirement crisis’ by encouraging people to work longer 2 weeks ago:
Betcha it would go over just fine in the USA.
All those jokes about white flags and yet France can actually protest. Or wants to.
- Comment on Is it possible to survive by eating only through your ass? (Serious.) 2 weeks ago:
From Wikipedia:
A variety of different mixes have been used for nutrient enemas throughout history. A paper published in Nature in 1926 stated that because the rectum and lower digestive tractlack digestive enzymes, it is likely that only the end-products of normal digestion such as sugars, amino acids, salt and alcohol, will be absorbed.[8]
Plus I think you’d have no lipid absorption, so you could probably survive longer than starvation, but I’m guessing not “quite some” time.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
America is NOT (and never had been) a political monolith, and we extremely all do not support trump (look at his approval ratings if nothing else).
America is the monolith. Russia is the monolith. Israel is the monolith.
United Russia isn’t invading Ukraine, Russia is. Likud isn’t performing genocide in Gaza, Israel is. The Republican Party isn’t waging economic, military, climate, and human-rights warfare among its former allies and fostering a world war for profit - The United States of America is.
So I’m sorry you get lumped together while in opposition but I ask what people outside the US are supposed to do while we wait for the bombs? Smile on Lemmy and save our complaints for people who clearly identify as Trump supporters? I ask what you think of first when you think of a 1930s German, and then add on top decades of freedom fanaticism, foreknowledge in the form of basic WWII history,
Guilty until proven innocent? Sure, but in the setting of a confession (the (second) election) I think the world can be forgiven for assuming the flag stands for what it’s doing when commenting.
Again, I’m sorry. I don’t want to be mean to people or stereotype either but I really don’t think Americans on either side understand how fucking scared we are, and it will be under one flag that you come to kill my family for minerals or some shit just like it’s the Russian flag bombing Ukraine and the Israeli over the ruins of Gaza. Our bestest friend and the kid who took all the equipment because he was “the bestest” has joined the bullies and taken all the shit. Punches are next and I think we can be forgiven lashing out.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
America demoralizes every friend and former ally and threatens WWIII.
We are aside, watching America do nothing after decades of bragging about how free you were and how willing you were to stick up for it.
There is no “rest of us” for us outsiders. America is doing this just like Russia invaded Ukraine and Israel is committing genocide, not some of their people.

Look at all that pooticulate matter.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
