Feel free to down vote me and called me a sleazeball douchebag troll.
King of the hill is pro conservative and therefore should be held responsible for enabling fascism and getting Trump elected.
There is no rational reason socks need to match
No reason shoes need to match, either. Why not wear one tennis shoe and one 3 foot high platform boot?
Political violence is acceptable.
When the actions of a dictator or party directly worsen the lives of citizens, I believe it should be a legal right for the citizenry to execute those in power.
hot in general but definitely not on lemmy
I think cars should be outlawed in population centers with exceptions for product deliveries, mobility scooters and e-bikes. If you want your ikea furniture into your apartment you need to either fit it into a cargo bike setup or get it delivered by a company with a delivery license.
I hate cars
I hold that view quite publicly and have recieved minimal disagreement.
Mandatory homework needs to be done away with for students. Studying after school is one thing, but assignments that can’t be finished during school hours shouldn’t be given out. Give them 1 free hour a day at school to work on assignments if you need to.
Not every student has a home environment set up for being able to concentrate. Plus it’s just training kids to work off the clock and having no separation of home and work life, something people already struggle with. We should be teaching them boundaries about these things.
I hated school but I would have preferred to stay one extra mandatory hour at school instead of ever having homework.
I actually think that “schools of the future” will do this. Especially when mathematics are concerned. It does no good to get feedback a week after you have done the homework and already moved on to the next topic. Feedback should be immediate so that any errors in understanding can be corrected. The exception would probably be writing a paper, which can occur over at least several days.
Idk about the future, but we used to do like 10 math problems at the end of class, and they were supposed to be finished by tomorrow, where we would review them. It’s a day of margin only, we did have 10 mins to do most of them, and lazy people like me did them in recess right before class. The teacher didn’t check them 1 by 1, but if you were picked to present the problem in the review and you didn’t have it done, you were fucked.
For context, this is like 15 years ago already. Spain.
De hecho eso suena re útil.
Yup. I struggled in school because my dad didn’t respect public education and always filled my afternoons with chores and tasks. If I was lucky I could do homework on the bus, or at lunch, or in earlier classes, but typically not. Despite having the highest test grades in most of my classes, I generally had the lowest overall grades, especially in particularly homework-centric classes like history.
…yeah, i did fantastic in my GT classes but struggled in my regular classes due to the volume of busy-work…
Oh I have a good one for this
I am an introverted loner who enjoys time spent solitary.
But I do have a social life, date, work. So I am aware that there are other people who spend every day doing something social with others and get frustrated if they have to spend any amount of time by themselves just in their own company.
I believe(d) that time spent alone with yourself and your thoughts is psychologically healthy, helps you figure out who you really are and lets you sort out your beliefs and desires.
So I thought society should change in such a way that there was a mandatory month out of every year where we all spent the entire time locked away in our homes getting essentials delivered.
Now imagine my surprise in 2020 when I actually got what I wanted and it drove a significant chunk of the population absolutely insane.
I love introverts and I personally enjoy my time alone once in a while. But it has to be voluntary. There’s a reason being locked up and alone is society’s standard go-to punishment, and solitary confinement, even in lush and luxurious conditions, can be considered torture.
But we weren’t alone, I still could contact all my friends as usual via voice chat and game together. I saw people at the store, I say colleagues while working remotely in video chats (still do, WFH ftw).
I guess people not adapted to an online life felt isolated, but those were the same criticising my style of life so… Skill issue and get fucked.
Yeah I get it. But, socializing online is not the same as socializing in person. Online there are at most two senses involved, sound and sight. Socialization also has proprioceptive, tactile, and even olfactory dimensions. There’s also a do-together dimension, not about doing the same thing but doing something in the same physical space that is psychologically distinct from occupying the same virtual space or doing the same digital activity online.
Again, I get it, I can personally function socializing mostly online. But that’s not typical. Most humans need to socialize in person to stay mentally healthy. It’s OK if you don’t want to, but just accept that you’re probably in a minority. There’s a fundamental biological reason the Meta universe crashed. Existing mostly online, although it could be healthy for some individuals, is considered pathological by most.
not necessarily disagreeing with you just providing my personal experience/perspective/knowledge, there is a very tangible sense of proprioception in VRChat. it kept me sane during lockdown.
there is also a study (I can dig up if anyone’s interested) that shows that your brain stores memories experienced in VR in a way that it doesn’t with flat screen gaming.
now meta horizons was an absolute disaster and I don’t know where that blame lies, it’s strange that despite everyone in VRChat being An Anime you can apply a level of suspension of disbelief and it really does feel like you’re sharing the space with other people.
Agree. The lack of market penetration of VR during the pandemic was a factor. However VR is not for everyone. I always remind how VR presence in novels, even when romanticized, is always in a dysdopic context. Rarely interpreted at a positive. People tend to have a rejection to online only VR interaction. Humans need touch.
Pedophilia is ok in the united states and we all just collectively agreed to pretend it isn’t. It’s clearly not a crime or we’d make more of a deal out of prosecution. It’s certainly not a deal breaker when your favorite politician or famous person does it. I used to think it was a coincidence that everyone I know was molested as a child, that maybe we gravitate to each other as an unspoken solidarity. The Epstein situation has made that hard to believe.
It’s not about any one crime, although the one you mention is a pretty hot topic. The real problem is that all crimes are null and void if you have enough money. Sometimes that money is from someone who thinks it’s beneficial to them to save your bacon, but nonetheless, it’s legalised bribery that nullifies the crime.
Sure it’s not “bribe a cop on the street” levels of corruption that you (allegedly) get in some other countries, but it’s corruption all the same.
That’s the thing, I already accepted that crimes are legal of you pay for them, that’s something I learned in elementary school, but when you start opening up about sexual abuse, you find that more people have experience than not. It’s not just the famous or powerful, it’s older cousins, uncles, aunts, babysitters, friends or their families, grand parents, teachers, strangers at the park, neighbors, and every other possible connection.
There’s 27 people I can think of that have candidly told me about the abuse they experienced and only one of them lead to legal reprocussions. We’re taught to keep it secret either because we don’t truely understand it until it’s far later or when we bring it up we’re told that it didn’t happen. When we hear about those arrested for it, they were often victims in their own time.
CPS investigates about 300,000 child sexual assault cases annually and experts suggest that as few as 10% actually get reported to begin with. If those numbers are accurate then around 37% of children in the us will be molested in their lifetime. 1 in 13 Americans is a molested child.
In comparison, Jews are 1 in 42, muslims are 1 in 91, Pacific islanders are 1 in 333, transgender adults are 1 in 167. In a general dispersal, for every 11 Mexicans you’ve met, you’ve likely met 8 children that have been sexually assaulted. It’s not money that lets you molest children, it’s the culture. It’s fine as long as no one else has to know about it. So the crime isn’t the act, it’s being bad at doing it.
Also, that’d only using the 2025 data for active cases so that’s just children currently being molested. Adults that were molested as children aren’t even factored in. Even more, only 24.5% of cases are actionable, 2-5% are false, and the remaining fail because they investigation is self assessment at best. So of those 8 molested kids, maybe 2 of them will get justice. The rest get to live with it.
It’s clearly not a crime
If you are rich. Just as with most other crimes.
It’s not OK for you, it’s OK for them because they are powerful.
I agree. There’s very little funding for services that protect children. Foster children are commonly sent out of state due to lack of resources and are completely lost out in the system somewhere.
Okay, here we go…
The term “larper”, more often than not, makes discourse worse
Dogs are incredibly annoying and a not insignificant number of people that want them actually subconsciously want children, but either can’t afford them, or don’t have a partner to have them with so they adopt a permanent child.
I think it’s rather coincidental that 90%+ of women’s dating profiles in my area (very high cost of living) all mention some form of “I’ll steal your dog. I love your dog more than you. Dogs are life. Live love dog” etc etc…
Can I make a suggestion? It seems like it’s not dogs themselves that bug you. What seems to get your goat is people who performatively like dogs instead of having an actual personality. Which … yeah, you’re right.
You’re pathetic and stupid for not being vegan.
…pathetic implies deserving of pity and stupid implies innocent ignorance…
Maybe if you’re sympathetic. Are you?
…i posit that’s a fair assessment of most vegans…
That one gets you hunted and eaten by human predators in certain parts of America.
The proper way to eat salad is with chopsticks. Ever tried to pick up a flat piece of lettuce with a fork? A chopped carrot? A crispy crouton??
I keep trying to tell people this. People are so set in their ways it hurts.
Chopsticks are the perfect snack food implement to keep your fingers snack-dust/grease free. Chips? Chopsticks are perfect. Popcorn? Chopsticks even help you eat it slower. Fries? You guess it. Chopsticks.
My brother started eating salads with bamboo chopsticks because it bothered him that a vinaigrette dressing brings out the metallic flavour in a fork. Then he realized they are much more practical for the reasons you mention and has become a huge advocate. They have become my preferred implement as well.
I had a Vietnamese student some years ago teach me this and I never looked back.
The Abrahamic Religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) aren’t “religions of peace”.
Socialist economic systems are also easily corruptible.
People are perfectly fine with letting strangers suffer so long as it doesn’t inconvenience them.
No religion is all about peace and more importantly, no religion is real. Gods don’t exist, they’re all human made.
Religions are real, as much as countries are real. They are social constructs. Someone can believe in something that is factually incorrect. Flat Earthers are real, even though the earth isn’t flat
Borderline personality disorder and Childhood-acquired Posttraumatic stress disorder are the same thing the only core difference is whether or not the resulting reactivity seems proportionate to the trauma from the clinicians perspective. This is more / less likely if the person has a more / less reactive underlying nervous system, but ultimately most of the judgment comes down to social perception of what’s a worse trauma vs what’s worse as a resulting negative behavior. If a “big” trauma makes you sad / withdrawn, you have PTSD vs if a “small” trauma makes you annoying / “difficult” you have borderline. (Am deffo borderline, personally. LOL)
I think many dv situations (definitely not all) amount to kidnapping and you should legally be allowed to kill the person holding you against your will in order to escape.
Dv?
domestic violence
Isn’t self defense already legal?
Another said: “He had us scared, both [my children] and me, that if I told anything to the police and they arrested him, he was going to get out and kill us.”
I think it’s fine that she killed her abuser, even if it wasn’t the exact moment a threat was made. In a way, I think it’s good if the killing happens in kidnapping cases like this one when the kidnapper is vulnerable, because the victim is more likely to survive. Poison, stabbing while they’re asleep, stealing the gun they used to threaten you and hitting them in the back - it’s cool. You tell someone they can’t leave or you’ll kill them, you are allowed to live exclusively on the whim of the person you threatened. That’s where my opinion gets a bit controversial, I think.
I started looking for cases where victims of rape were thrown in jail for killing their rapist as it was happening, and I immediately found several different incidents and got depressed.
Hope this explains why I think my view would be unpopular.
What you’re describing are direct threats of violence against the victim. If the victim responds with violence, that would be considered self defense, which I don’t believe is either unpopular or illegal. The legal system just so happens to be flawed, where victims are thrown in prison, but that’s a separate issue that needs to be fixed.
This is bait. I’m tired of these bait posts.
They’re bait posts because they’re preying on people to drop some really spicy unpopular opinion that nobody, even including the OP, will handle. It’ll create a scuffle, arguments and there will be calling for post removals and report wars will happen.
Also, it reeks of Reddit too, including to the last line.
