DeSantis vetoes all arts grants in Florida
  • Not even that the arts have more gay people, but people involved in the arts are much more likely to be accepting and fair to gay people. So they want to hurt these people too. This is maybe overused but I think it's appropriate and I think about it a lot:

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    —Martin Niemöller

    This guy originally supported Hitler. He said this after the war.

  • Porque no los Dos?
  • I like Latine. If the people of Spanish speaking countries accept it I think it's great.

    I didn't mean that X is unpronounceable in Spanish, it's just absurd to be at the end of a word in Spanish.

    Everyone uses singular they but for some reason they don't like it as a pronoun. "They went to the store," "What did you do for them?" Etc. I don't get it.

    But really I understand that you're angry and you have good reason to be. You don't need to change my mind but if you chill back a bit maybe you can change others like the people who might be reading this exchange.

    Like I get that you probably aren't personally accusing me of bullying people, but if I was less empathetic or maybe not as proficient in English I might think you were calling me a bully there.

  • Porque no los Dos?
  • Hey friend, cool back a few notches maybe.

    I'm cishet, but I consider myself an ally of the community.

    That said, the Latinx shit is dumb. Do you speak any Spanish or can you use an accent? Latinx is unpronounceable in Spanish. That's why people of that racial grouping say that it's some bullshit. It is bullshit.

    My friends and coworkers from Mexico, Central, and South America prefer Latino, Latina, or even, believe it or not, Spanish. Gender neutral!

    One of my professional mentors is from Nicaragua. He lives in the US, calls himself by an anglicized first name, and when people ask where he's from he says he's Mexican. Granted he's older and he's just trying to get by. He doesn't give a fuck about any of this identity stuff. I'm not saying people should emulate him, just giving a silly example.

  • Not Likeable
  • Change the Senate to population proportional seats and eliminate the electrical college. This country would change in a big way in a few years or less. Easier said than done though.

  • Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US?

    So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then.

    Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What's up?

    What do you think of the recently discovered "fence" or "railing" building piece?

    I went back on reddit for the first time in a week just to check out r/hyruleengineering today. To my surprise I see all these new builds using a new piece! It’s from the right leg depot in the depths. I picked it up today after watching a video on how to get it. It’s amazing! But definitely not intended for use by the devs. Thoughts?

    By the way if anyone wants to join !HyruleEngineering@lemmy.world please do. It was my favorite sub on reddit and I'd love to see it active here.
