How would that help? Bots will just move to another instance. Maybe yours.

Hot take - men are against de jure “positive discrimination” in favour of women because there’s no de jure “positive discrimination” in favour of men.

She tries to explore the statistics where new generations feel that feminism is no longer about lifting up women but putting down men.

It is interesting to see that she mentions that women outperform men academically and in early earnings. She however fails to explore why that happens.

I can’t speak about your country and your culture - I can only speak about mine. I will be quoting women feminists (with links), but in Polish (I tried autotranslating them and they seem readable).

Here in Poland men are de jure (and de facto) discriminated against in all levels of education, e. g. https://www.rp.pl/opinie-polityczno-spoleczne/art43786261-jakub-chabik-dyskryminacja-pozytywna-plus-rownosc-selektywna-to-bunt-mezczyzn in early education: girls have now better average scores in language than boys and equal in math, but for their gender girls are offered extra points to qualify for “math excellence extracurricular programs”, as uni STEM only sees only ~40% of women. There is no similar program for uni bio or med, where men are only ~25%.

Heck: https://krytykapolityczna.pl/kraj/wieczorkiewicz-istnieja-formy-dyskryminacji-mezczyzn-ze-wzgledu-na-plec-polemika-z-wojcikiem/ - she explores forms of de juro and de facto discrimination against men in Poland, lack of interest from progressive and leftist parties to even mention men discrimantion and issues (and even blaming men for them), and finishes the article saying that she sees the right-wing counterforce parties getting access to men because of all that.

So yeah - if you base your feminism at “When someone is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”, then that feminism is bad.

As a foreigner whose native tongue has gendered nouns and adjectives: we default to sir to sir-presenting people, ma’am to ma’am presenting, and "sir? ma’am? " when unsure and clarification is needed.

I do not understand why you’d want to preemptively force gender someone by choosing a neutral/or newspeak/ form of address - to me it seems much much much worse than defaulting to asking for preference (“sir? ma’am?” option is the best - it declares you’ve noticed the interlocutor is a nb and passes the ball to them).

If you’re looking for 1 word that would always work, I recommend embracing your inner old British Lady and calling everyone pet (petal), dear or love. :-)

Thats… Gummo?

I work in a corpo, I hate text/call communication as it’s what I do daily. For me it’s: an opener, followup or three, then ask them out.

Swołocz is not a swear word (at least in Polish), pizdiec does not exist in Polish, and closest sounding word to it - piździ apparently came from Czech https://sjp.pwn.pl/poradnia/haslo/slowa-bardzo-dwuznaczne;12860.html

I hate this kind of misinformation memes.

Name two russian swear words that were loaned into Polish.

Oh god no. This is still monopoly. Every company that reaches significantly lower market rate - say 4% - should be forcibly split or wound down (IIRC correctly at 5% market rate it becomes more profitable to buy the competition out so you don’t have to compete with them).

a capitalist tankie. what do you call that? a comcap? a capcom? a fascist?

I believe the term you’re looking for is socio-imperialists, as in “socialist in words, imperialist in deeds”.

the US is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and that people still fail to see that after the epstein files is actually shocking

While this is true

To be fair, you didn’t pick ubiased authors here. Neither of the authors is capable of saying anything negative of China.

For example, Paweł Wargan proponent of new Chinese imperialisms with extra steps - e.g. https://www.thecommunists.net/worldwide/global/multi-polar-world-order-is-multi-imperialism/

Like birds! Are women just featherless bipedal land birds?

Literally the definition of capitalism is private ownership of the means of production.

Commerce is the act of selling and buying goods.

You should… Idk, get better at thinking?

Junior and mid-level engineers will now require more senior engineers to sign off any AI-assisted changes

Is it just me, or does it imply that until now there was a number of required seniors, and from now on they will require more (possibly 1 => 3 increase lol)?

So instead of 1 LGTM there will be 3 LGTM? :D

It was, but the actual problem I have with the app is that it had 90% margin. Talk about quick and dirty cash grab.

Corporations should pay and be held accountable

No. The board and the directors should be personally responsible, and should be punished in addition to the corporation paying money at the minimum.

Nihil novi. It has been true since at least 1960’s. There’s even song about it from the 60s:

1. Source for Poland having human zoos (hint: there was no Poland in the era where human zoos were popular, it was split and conquered by Germany, Austria and Russia).

2. You forgot about Kaukas human zoos in Moscow.

3. You forgot Carl Hagenbeck travelling across Russian Empire with his human zoos.
