You’ve given it your all. More than most can say. And, you’ve done it while taking it on the chin the whole time from lesser people and politicians. You are/were a great man!
Across the U.S., very few campus rapes are prosecuted, both because victims fear going to police and prosecutors hesitate to bring cases that can be hard to win, the AP investigation found.
(Content warning, discussions of SA and misogyny, mods I might mention politics a bit but I hope this can be taken outside the context of politics and understood as a discussion of basic human decency)...
I’ve not even heard of this issue you are talking about. Maybe it’s not representative of the Lemmy experience as a whole? Besides, most social media postings seem fake as hell. Why put any emphasis on what people have to say. I think walking away is probably the healthiest thing you can do. No one is going to fix this place or any place for that matter.
I definitely do not want to quiet anyone. Other than maybe myself from time to time (you know, before I’ve said it; maybe I’m too late this time, maybe not). I just don’t see how you fix this ultimately. But, since I don’t know the specific harassment you are referring to, I’ll simply refer to your comments. I trust what you’ve said. I don’t want you to hide what you want to say, but I also want to say how I feel about it.
U.S. airlines are suing to block the Biden administration from requiring greater transparency over fees that the carriers charge their passengers, saying that a new rule would confuse consumers by giving them too much information during the ticket-buying process....
Maybe your comment is meant to cover what I’m about to say, too, or already does, but not even brick and mortar stores list prices on a shelf with tax included. I’m somewhat OK with this because I know the tax hasn’t been figured in yet. But that’s all. Maybe those shelf prices should also be adjusted, but at least they don’t seem as bad as having to account for them PLUS other hidden fees.

I don’t know how big an impact celebrity is, but if you watch almost any media from the 80s or 90s you’ll eventually come across a DT reference, either the man himself or something about him, and it’s usually fawning. Like I said, I don’t know how much a thing like that is representative of how people actually thought/think about him, but it feels like it helped.
One of the parents was running around the drain making a bunch of noise, went to investigate and found the baby trapped inside. I fished it out with a hair net wrapped around a coat hanger that I taped to a broom handle.
This is a good point. Like not fully understanding someone due to an accent or the language used not being their first. You can still hear things and get clues, and often decipher what’s been said. Or, you can focus on those differences and miss the entire thing altogether! Then, double down and claim people need to learn the language… It doesn’t always work, but it’s a skill if you can understand people in this way.
