no. There’s history to the term that’s not captured by simply giving its “definition” (though different people would define it differently, so even that is hard).

Think of it like the self-diagnosis discourse. Some autistic people never get diagnosed, because you know, there’s no need if your symptoms are obvious. Some people are annoyed by people who they perceive to be “faking” autism, so they take the extreme position that only diagnosed people are allowed to call themselves autistic.

For Truscum, this often translates into “you can’t be trans if your dysphoria wasn’t confirmed by a doctor” (not a possibility for most). Or more extreme: “You can’t be trans if you do not have significant enough trauma from feeling misplaced in society, otherwise you could just be faking it”.

These comments are proof that Lemmy will never be popular until people get their shit together. Just pedantry and thinly veiled sexism.

klingt eigentlich sehr vernünftig das über eine Formel statt absolute Zahl zu bestimmen, gibt es einen Haken daran?

You’re lying.

Russia had been directly involved in the war against Ukraine since 2014, it militarily invaded Ukraine when it occupied the Crimea, and russian soldiers have been fighting Ukraine in Donbass since day 1.

Russia did not use a “pretext” for invasion, it simply created the pretext itself. What you call protests in eastern Ukraine was the armed struggle of Girkin, a russian secret service member. Without this Russian interference, there is no donbas seperatism.

You’re right about one thing: The invasion had nothing to do with internal politics. It was however, about the antagonism of democracy and empire. Russian ultranationalists never accepted Ukraine, and 2014 was simply the first step towards its destruction.

When you talk of “spheres”, you parrot the ideological worldview of Putin. He has sung the praise of a “multipolar world” for years now. The issue is that humanism and democracy recognize no spheres. Instead, every country should be allowed to decide for itself what path it takes. That is the pretext for invasion, do deny Ukraine that right.

Fascism is aesthetics as politics

Wehe den Anfängen.

This question gets asked every time. The official position is that noone is allowed to stall forever (except denmark). Unofficially it has been recognized that Sweden joined before the euro and they’re seen as exceptional compared to Poland, Hungary, Czechia and Romania. These four countries are the focus of the ECB, but, to answer your question, since none of them meet the economic criteria yet, there hasn’t been much push from Frankfurt, since their economies aren’t stable enough for monetary union.

Iceland has a small economy and its biggest trade partner is the EU, they’re already a member of EFTA. The Euro would benefit them more than harming them, the real issue was always fishing rights and legislation

It’s literally a 5 minute Google search.

The UK and Denmark joined before the Euro was a thing, and thus, were allowed to stay out. No other country that joined after 1999 ever got an opt out, because this is not legal anymore.

I have a fear of developing superstitions

Ngl that sounds like a good horror-comedy

Corporations supporting pride are canaries in the coalmine. When they stop chirping, you know something is wrong.

Besides, I don’t like cynicism. Yeah, most big corps don’t give a fuck. And this is what this meme is about. But regular gays work everywhere, and support does make a difference in those places

Yes, but Cognitive Behavioral Therapy specifically also a lot about working together to implement some small-scale changes. These are based on what you call common sense, but beyond it just being unable to retain your common sense sometimes, it’s really easy to accidentally not act according to common sense sometimes despite possessing it.

Yea

BMW didn’t exactly need to be forced, they were directly involved in the Holocaust.

Wonderful apps! Had always thought about contributing but never found the energy or will to learn how. This makes it easy. Thanks

that pun doesn’t work in german. it’s about good friday where catholics are only allowed to eat fish (look at the left)

I love love love GIMP!!!

But yeah it’s not a PS alternative, and tbh that’s not really what it’s supposed to be or what its developers want out of it. it’s different

are you saying it’s unreasonable to ask not to be called something you don’t want to be called?
