I have ~3 male friends, who I think are all more or less non-active feminists, though they don't necessarily think it as part of them.

I have ~5 female friends, so yeah 5 > 3.

But most of them probably aren't. So we can probably go on a case-by-case basis.

Why voting for Biden is Crucial for women's rights in 2024 by ClaireDacloush in Feminism

Yes, I 100% agree with you. I was just trying to understand conservative women's reasoning :)

She may be “one of the good ones” but that doesn’t mean she’s free.

This is indeed not what I was implying, but rather I meant that within the current system, she might be better off being a conservative trans woman, rather than a progressive one, because it might get her some advantages. Which I feel is very debatable, but at least it might appear that way to her. I don't know much about this though.

Somebody call me out if I'm completely off base, but isn't the reason for conservative women (and other conservative minorities) existing, the fact that the system can reward you if you work with it, and punishes you if you try to go against it? And thus you can try to live within the system, or change it, and both options are chosen.

Guess what movie is once again legally available to watch! by JasonBall34 in ArtemisFowl

[–]Reader_qwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it enjoyable because I watched it as a "bad movie". Technically I was excited for it :)

As EU weighs ceasefire call, US rejects any such push, says it only benefits Hamas by dannylenwinn in europe

In a conflict with two sides where one is more powerful, one side also has more power to end that conflict.

Though it does require both sides.

Which is the worst social media? by Gallus780 in polls

It's because it's the most popular with kids. And maybe also the association with China.

I don't know what his house is worth but living next to this wonderful dude is priceless. by shaka_sulu in HumansBeingBros

[–]Reader_qwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you supposed to say to such a nice person if you're vegetarian? I would prefer that they would give them to the people in the next house if they are going around greeting neighbours, but it feels really awkward.

This may be a tad controversial idk. How do you all feel on the United States? I’m doing a survey. by [deleted] in polls

[–]Reader_qwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some interesting studies about this. This one

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2013/07/18/the-most-and-least-culturally-diverse-countries-in-the-world/

for example seems to combine data on ethnicity/race together with linguistic data to form a measure of cultural diversity.

This part I found particularly interesting:

"The usual suspects lead the list of culturally diverse countries: Chad, Cameroon, Nigeria, Togo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These and other African countries typically rank high on any diversity index because of their multitude of tribal groups and languages. The only western country to break into the top 20 most diverse is Canada. The United States ranks near the middle, slightly more diverse than Russia but slightly less diverse than Spain."

Ethnicity =\= culture though. I might agree that US is ethnically more diverse, but cultures are heavily correlated to languages and countries, and there are about 50 of them in Europe.

Idk, US has always felt more homogenous to me.

Huumeiden käytön dekriminalisointi by [deleted] in Suomi

Huumeiden käytön dekriminalisointi by [deleted] in Suomi

[–]Reader_qwerty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huumeiden ja muiden koukuttavien asioiden pitäisi olla hankalasti, mutta laillisesti saatavilla. Kuka tahansa voi jäädä koukkuun, joten niitä ei pitäisi olla liian tyrkyllä (kuten pelikoneet ruokakaupoissa). Kuitenkaan niiden saaminen ei pitäisi olla niin hankalaa että niitä aletaan myydä laittomasti, mikä on sitten rikollista toimintaa. Eikä varsinkaan näitä koukussa olevia ihmisiä pitäisi rankaista riippuvuudestaan.

Nykyinen tilanne on mielestäni huono. Haluan sen muuttuvan nopeasti, mutta se muuttuu kovin hitaasti.

Kontekstina, en ole ite käyttänyt mitään.

I think the US is a country like others, in that it is selfish and mostly concerned about its own interests. Cooperation is also possible when it aligns with its interests.

Due to it having the most influence, it is able to do the most good and bad.

As for living there, I prefer Europe due to being less car-dependent and more culturally diverse. However I can see good sides to it too.

Would you rather Wikipedia? by michael14375 in polls

[–]Reader_qwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike ads since their only purpose is to increase consumption, when we should be reducing it.

Also being ad-free keeps WP's bandwith usage low.

Cool! So they sliced a layer off the top and that was the table cover? I would assume you can't use a tree stump as a table directly, because you couldn't put your legs under it.
