You can have mental problems while also being an asshole.

“Opposed”

Sure.

I keep forgetting Lemmy is ok with millionaires all of a sudden.

You actually give your hard earned money to a millionaire? I’d rather burn it.

I’m an early gen Y. I knew maybe 4 people who had a cell phone, and only one of them could record a 30 second, shitty quality video. Kinda glad phones weren’t in constant use when I was in school.

The first game kinda falls flat, but they put out a pretty solid sequel with the second game.

Exactly. Society didn’t end in 2017, or 2021, and it won’t end in 2025. My life, for the most part, hasn’t changed. But you won’t convince all these doomers. They want to stay victims, so let them. I’ll keep enjoying life.

No, we’re not. It’s not a coincidence that soon after occupy wallstreet the culture war was cranked up to 11. Gotta give the wealthy and the media credit. They have successfully, and quite easily turned the plebs against each other.

Just curious, why were wanting to replace Mullvad?

I do sub to whatever instances I want. And sometimes I go to All. It’s called an observation. It’s ok when people say things you disagree with.

That said I would like to see more diverse opinions and sources on my Lemmy feed though. There has to be a base somewhere that isn’t literal nazis but isn’t open socialists either.

Please, this. Lemmy is boring as all hell. 95%+ of users have the same opinions. It’s a giant echo chamber.

You tell 'em, best friend.

Can also confirm excessive lag with XC3. Also, when jumping into the depths in TotK, game would freeze off and on. These Nintendo apologists are wild. The Switch was utilizing outdated hardware when it dropped. I’ll be impressed if the Switch 2 has at least PS4 level hardware.

I read three independent articles on the subject, including the one from last year, I don’t need to read a fourth.

I find it interesting you admit something is difficult to prove, yet feel perfectly comfortable making accusations on the subject. I’ll stick to the facts, thanks, and leave my bias out of it.

We don’t need something to “sound like rape”. If he was guilty of it, meaning there was sufficient evidence, in the jury’s opinion, the jury would have found him guilty of it. I’m sure they weren’t looking to do him any favors. Obviously the defense failed to prove their case relative to rape.

Now, did he do it? Probably. He’s a career criminal. But the line has to be drawn somewhere, and for me, if you’re found guilty of it, be it a criminal court room, or a civil one, that’s when I can safely say a person is what they’ve been found guilty of being.

Take emotions and opinions out of it, and just stick to the facts. He’s guilty in a civil case of defamation and sexual abuse.

Jury. A jury in 2023 found him liable for sexual abuse/defamation where Carol was awarded $5 million.

The verdict was split: Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, finding Trump responsible for a lesser degree of sexual abuse.

This year, another jury awarded her an additional $83 million for defamation.

I read three articles, and watched an NBC video, not one of them stated he was found liable for rape.

Simply believing a thing is true will not protect you from a defamation suit. You have to know he is, not just believe it. I suppose this varies from country to country.

I’m not obsessed with Donald Trump like most people seem to be, so I don’t follow his news much. I don’t have good reason to believe he’s a rapist, and prefer to wait until he’s convicted in a court of law, and would hope others would give me the same benefit of the doubt.

All rape is sexual assault, not all sexual assault is rape. Calling all sexual assault rape dilutes the term.

IANAL, but I’m pretty sure calling someone a rapist who hasn’t been convicted in a court of law of being a rapist could get you into trouble. Now the fascist part is completely subjective so you could probably get away with it.

Episode is so stupid, I can’t not laugh.

Not OP, but please, any answer you get, including mine, research for yourself. Most will just push their own opinion as fact. Or pass off someone else’s opinion as fact.

In many cultures around the world, these terms are interchangeable. In the US, they were (and for many/most, still are) the same thing until not too long ago. When people were doing gender reveal parties 20 years ago, no one was correcting them that’s it’s a “sex reveal not gender reveal”.

The modern usage of “gender” didn’t exist until the 1950s, popularized by John Money, and if you want to research that deviant pervert, be my guest.
