It’s impossible for them to win to be completely honest.

Without question Trump is winning. It feels like it should defy logic, but it actually matches with the current mood in the nation, and the state of the ‘culture war’.

Honestly the concept of property here is just silly. Who specifically do they belong to, why, what claim, and how could such a claim exist?

I just don’t agree with the concept, this individual doesn’t have any right to ownership regardless of whether his specific family owned it at some point prior, but most likely a direct relative doesn’t even own it, just someone with his self same ‘race’ ( which race doesn’t really exist either tbh, not genetically anyway, but exists as a social construct ).

I just despise this mentality. I don’t own anything collectively with anyone of my ‘race’, neither their achievements nor shames, and same for even direct relatives.

There is not enough generic diversity in humans to even prop up the idea of race beyond being a cultural construct, it’s time to stop seeing our fellow humans as something other.

Souls games aren’t hard if you can slow down, observe, and be patient. Exception might be Dark Souls 3, but the original and Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 2 reward thoughtful, methodical, and cautious play.

Dark Souls 3 however is too fast paced for me, it changed the formula too much. Bloodborne is more approachable, but still fast.

Elden Ring is the perfect balance.

Sekiro is for masochists with a good sense of rhythm.

Came here to make the same joke.

Honestly Putin / Russia is going to be victorious. The only way to prevent that is direct Western intervention and that shouldn’t happen as it would escalate.

Better to lose a country to Russia than the world for everyone.

Tiene un número incorrecto cabrón.

Honestly a lot of it right now is the American election cycle, coupled with external cultural manipulation by bad actors abroad influencing social media, and making LGBT issues an affront to traditional cultural values ( like Russian networks framing Russia as a bastion of traditional social familial roles ). A lot of the culture war is amplifying existing tension on LGBT and ‘woke’ and turning it up to 11.

It’s because people don’t understand that Lemmy.World specifically serves as a Reddit replacement, but other communities don’t serve this purpose.

It demonstrates the misunderstanding that Lemmy.World is Lemmy.

I had the same opinion. It’s absolutely moderation that reduces the amount of acceptable opinion and behavior. I can’t even have good faith discussions on controversial topics on multiple platforms because I am vaguely aware of what is considered the ‘right’ opinion.

A truly liberal mindset and healthy community would allow controversial opinions, but classic liberalism is demonized now in favor of absolutist values for conduct and morality.

So here’s what happens. When a person says a controversial thing and they’re banned, silenced, or shadow banned it reduces the amount of incidence for the offending opinion in that community, people who see the ban with the same opinion that want to participate in the community are left with choosing silence ( giving the impression that opinion was not common ) or additionally defending the person actioned against, which then also risks their removal from that community.

It’s really that simple. Moderation in my opinion should only go after the real problematic illegal stuff, but we shouldn’t be moderating out the actual good faith opinions that people have.

Serious answer: it’s a Magic the Gathering card that has recently hit meme status, but I don’t know why.

Old Hero. Despite him being blind and supposedly easy, he instantly kills me when I enter the boss area.

Brilliant comment, I’m dead serious.

Uhm, how is this fundamentally different from a crystal radio? I’ve built this exact concept from a science kit, and this is a concept that’s been proven for decades.

Honestly you should post this to my Lemmy server.

They can fly? I know they have wings, but I’ve never seen one fly, I assumed they were evolutionarily vestigial.

From an objective standpoint, I think the turning point for these opinions was far more recent, and if I had to point to a specific year, I would say 2004 with the debut of Chris Hanson’s ‘To Catch a Predator’ on Dateline NBC.

Prior to this, I don’t even remember being exposed to the idea or concept of this. I never heard people talk about it, but in a way this show changed or I guess really even created opinions on this subject.

From a non objectivist perspective, just because I never heard of it prior, it seems to have been an epidemic and maybe I was lucky enough to not have thought about it.

I lost my virginity at 15 to someone many years older than me, but I didn’t have a second thought about it, it was like anything else - drinking, smoking, staying out late, this idea that maybe I was too young, but also that everyone else did it, and that’s as far as I ever considered it.

I grew up in a different time though, before the Internet, small town, and low income and people I came into contact with didn’t even put these things into ideas with words if that makes sense.

I think at best I understood that older men could be untoward with younger folks, but it was treated more as a joke, or something to keep in mind around older relatives and strangers, but not an imminent threat, more like an annoyance to be put up with.

I think it’s okay to talk about this, and I’m sorry for your trauma. Protecting children is super important, and so the increased talk of this subject I think helps and protects more, but there is an undeniable generational difference in how people even think about this.

I grew up thinking of this as not even an idea, so I wouldn’t have thought about it being worse than anything else. I would have been more scared of drug addicts, and the homeless.
