  We always knew the dussy was theoretically possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Dua Lipa⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s not forget about her banging music and killer pipes.

  But more than that, let’s not forget that she was calling out Zionists back in 2020, while she was trying to promote her sophomore album in the midst of COVID, meaning she didn’t tiptoe or hold back to avoid alienating fans. Politicians in Israel were trying to ban her music in Israel before most pop artists were even aware enough to hem and haw over supporting Palestine

  That was then, more recently she fired her manager (maybe agent) because they publicly aligned themselves with the Zionist cause.

  Give me Dua over TayTay any fucking day of the week.

  Warning gang, this is NOT OC. I am a professional artist and OP stole this from a previous post of mine. I will be seeking legal redress.

  I lived right by this and used to walk over it every day, oblivious that is was well known.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent 20 minutes on it and could never figure it out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is correct. There is a specific term for this kind of pun but I don’t remember what it is.

  I am a god among men with my pee pressure, and I always pay it forward at the urinal, though I have to stand back a bit because it is splashy.

  I’m 44 and this is actually stone cold sober reality but have a day friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you not entertained?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone should really read ALL of this image. The headline obviously resonates with a ton of people, but there is a bigger message here that people need to engage with.

  I don’t know if this is OC from the author or not, but this is genuinely brilliant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you not entertained?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It isn’t helpful to think of them as losers. Like the image says, no bread all circuses. Without making any inferences about these two people pictured, the media and public focus on their engagement is in the service of maintaining and strengthening the status quo power structures.

  Resist the urge to dismiss this as crank conspiracy thinking. There is a system, even if it wasn’t designed and even if it isn’t organized. And the media is by and large a tool of that system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Somewhat off-topic, but that’s the first time in a long time I’ve read a random article on the internet and just instantly liked the writer’s writing style without respect to the topic.

  That was a depressing article, but a very enjoyable read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the very broadest sense I don’t disagree with you. Making a community private is a useful tool and can help to simplify strict entry guidelines.

  However, given that “Cater to a very specific group of people”, refers to basically half of earth’s population in this case, I do have some quibbles.

  I don’t have the data in front of me, but I bet that women represent something quite less than half the population of Lemmy. It doesn’t even stretch the imagination to suppose that they represent just a fraction of the user base.

  So this isn’t a niche interest or obscure sub-culture we’re talking about. This is an artificial minority population. Is the simplicity of going private worth the added obscurity and increased friction to what should be organic community growth?

  As it is, you had to see it, decide to engage with it, and then learn that it wasn’t meant for you, and you’d have just preferred to remain unaware it ever existed. Never mind that would also ensure most other People remain unaware it exists.

  Is it really such a hardship on you for the filter to be set a little wider for the good of that community?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you just described two things working almost exactly as designed.

  You should use block liberally to curate your feed.

  Similarly, communities should have whatever rules make sense for them. If that keeps the community small, that might be the desired outcome for them.

  I think blocking was the right call here.
