  • Unable to hide post

    Sometimes I want to hide some posts when I've seen them too many times. Unfortunately Everytime I try to I get the error message "unable to hide post". Am I doing something wrong?

  • I think that a lot of people believe on some level that everyone else works as they do. Even if they intellectually know this to not be true.

    I can imagine that someone who struggled with their sexuality or gender can believe to see their own struggles in others. And like in your example if their personal solution was to "just get over their hang-ups" it makes sense that they see that also as a solution for others.

    Another more annoying example would be those older people that are clearly in the closet saying stuff like "this is normal. Everybody has those urges/thoughts sometime."

    Back to the topic of this being patronizing: I agree. Respect should go both ways. Even if one is 100% convinced someone is a member of the alphabet mafia and even if they are right in the end, one should respect them living their life as they want to as long as it does not negatively affect others in a major way of course (hateful or intolerant behaviors).

    I had an acquaintance once who behaved very stereotypically flamboyantly gay. From voice to body language. The thing is he himself says he is not attracted to men at all. Has a wife and last I heard soon a child. At least to me as an outsider it looked clearly like they truly loved each other. He told me multiple stories of gay men trying to convince him he's gay or bisexual. Militantly so. Of course also stories of people being bigoted and assuming that he is gay.

    Another story was something in a game community where a trans girl called someone who was clearly struggling with their gender identity feminine pronouns and even a feminine sounding name. Even though they said multiple times that they don't like it. I also talked with the trans girl that I didn't find this ok. In the end it turned out that they were indeed a trans woman. I still believe to this day the behavior was disrespectful at the time.

    Sorry for the wall of text. I got a bit carried away.

  • So presenting masculine is not attractive?

    I dunno why but I'm somehow bothered by the post on an emotional level. I do not want to accuse anybody, it's primarily my own issue of course.

    The first thing I thought of was transgender men getting told to present feminine. I think nobody should be told how they should dress.

    I know it's a meme and I am taking this a bit too seriously.

    Anyways skirts are cool and can be cute and feminine like in the op or cool and masculine like a kilt. It's a very versatile garment everybody could wear more often.

  • Learning a new language is easy!
  • I don't think that's how it works. Most compound words are nouns not verbs.

    Also ass is "Arsch" not "Arse". You could say Arschlöscher, but if I heard this without context I would think of something that deletes asses.

    If I would need to construct a noun that describes a bum bum that extinguishes fires I would say it should be "Löscharsch" maybe even "Feuerlöscharsch".

    These are real words in the sense that German speaker should immediately understand them but you will not find them in a dictionary. That's what makes German different from many languages. We can make up understandable compound words on the fly.

  • Learning a new language is easy!
  • When I was in school many notebooks came with a loose sheet to absorb the ink from our fountain pens. These are called "Löschpapier" (extinguishing paper).

    A common joke was, to say you should toss the "Löschpapier" into a fire to extinguish it.

    I tried it once. It burned quite well unfortunately.

  • Learning a new language is easy!
  • I've seen long compound words in children's book recently. Could be real.

    Some kids get hyper fixated on cool stuff like firefighters, cars, dinosaurs,... and love learning new words in that topic even or especially if they are complicated.

    Sometimes those little brains can do a lot more than many give them credit for.

  • Was ist mit der Luftqualität in Stralsund los?

    Gerade aus Langeweile auf Google Maps die Luftqualität angeschaut. Fast überall in Deutschland und Nordfrankreich gut bis sehr gut. Aber es gibt einen klaren blob um Stralsund.

    Too much US election content on Lemmy?

    I hope this is a good place for this. A few weeks ago I started a simple experiment: Block every community in the All feed that is about the US election in some way.

    I thought this up after a thread about the Biden debate, as someone kindly (not really kindly) informed me that I should curate my own experience here. I thought about it and realized just how much election/politics stuff there is on the front page. It was quite hard blocking communities I like, especially 196 on blahaj.

    Now the quality of my feed did go up in some ways but it's very slow. I also realized that I am feeling a lot less rage/anger than before when scrolling lemmy. I didn't even realize how much the constant political stuff from another continent affected me...

    What is your opinion on this? Is Lemmy really filled with too much US political rage bait? Should I continue with my zero tolerance policy?

    It would also interest me to hear an American perspective. Is there more or less politics here, on other platforms or real life. How does rage/hate affect you when scrolling through Lemmy and does it take a toll?
