And useful to let you know if a post is actually genuine/useful, or something you should probably ignore and disregard because everyone else that read it before you discarded it as bad

no it must only be for content farming

okay but you make posts with the expectation they are public. Votes only change a number, and are a way for you to show support/disagreement for something without broadcasting it to everyone.

If you want to broadcast it and make it public you can reply to a comment

(at least on Sync) if you go in settings > filters, you can hide posts by certain keywords

at least these reviews are more informative about a game than the "just leaving this cat here" for thr billionth time

I think there's plenty of people (myself included) that had to deal with itching like this before even discovering what masturbation is

One simple google of the definition shows it includes all humans. The archaic ('old meaning', if you don't know) meaning did refer to only men, but that's nor the case anymore.

It's not the case anymore because through time and usage lsnguage evolved ( Like you said! ) and it evolved to encompass all humans! Crazy how language does that.

However, for you to selfishly tout about all of this in a post Xompletely unrelated to any of this, and for you to call me an idiot and/or mysoginist because i simply didn't agree with you on this, shoecases just how bad faith you were in the first place.

Oh and what's this? No one giving this much a fuck about this? https://old.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/1wdzcq/how_do_you_feel_about_the_word_mankind_or_the_use/

Clearly you want to be feminist and do something and that's great! Please tackle some actual problems instead of getting fired up over a word that has nothing to do with anything, hasn't bothered anyone, and shouldn't have been an issue to discuss about in a post on disrespecting Holocaust victims.

Have a good day, and I hope you learn from your mistakes and develop some "Think twice before posting"

I think itçs very important to bring up how we currently think and perceive words, after you said language shapes how we think.

The word "mankind" isn't male-centric because no one perceives it that way. It cannot possibly be "male-centric" when it was never meant that way and when no one perceives it that way.

However, I'd like to argue that by making this new "Humankind" distinction, you're adding the male-centric view to the term "Mankind", when there wasn't one associated to it in the first place.

I cannot be more clear than this, and I think you are the one arguing in bad faith here perhaps

I think you are missing the point here. Whenever anyone reads "Mankind", they think of everyone. Not just the men. It's not making anyone an after-thought.

  1. "Man" in certain contexts is shorthand for "Human" or "Humankind". Imagine how tedious it would be to write a sentence where everytime you wanted to use this shorthand, you'd instead "Men, Women and Children".
  2. OP even said "Men, women and children died because of who they were", so your point of "referring to the dead collectively as men" makes no sense.
  3. 99.9% of people reading OP's comment wouldn't have even begun thinking about this.

Overall, I think it's more insensitive to read a comment like OP's, and instead of taking the right point home and moving along, you decide to nitpick in an attempt at some sort of "Gotcha", which couldn't have been done more wrongly and with such confidence (or arrogance?)

I get that, I just don't understand how can someone eat a spoonful of it. The peanut butter i had made me feel like im going to choke to death

good trade honestly

 

title self-explanatory. Sync is great and all, but i often make comments and then a few days later i remember i made them and i see i got replies

 

this one is based on liminal spaces, and an idea of a story i had that never came to life.

the alternative title for this is "A Happy Place" which i thought adding to the title of this post would make it a word salad :)

 

hello! i decided i finally wanted to make lemmy a more active place, so i am going to post my digital art on here.

i don't really have the best art but i hope my contribution will help :) I will post more eventually.

This drawing is one i made in 2020, and it's of a famous place called World's End.

 

For context i did not know you can use an account from a single instance to post on another. With this in mind I have a few questions:

  1. If I can use one instance account everywhere, why can I make multiple accounts?
  2. Why isn't there a centralised account system?
  3. What's the use of having per instance accounts?

I'm currently considering keeping this main account and deleting the ones on other instances, because if i can interact with those instances I don't see the need for an account.
