Cool but nobody’s about to link to prerequisite information like typing on a keyboard. Same for math, a book focusing on integration isn’t going to say “read this book for the basics of addition btw”.

And why should one even cater to that? If a person is interested enough they can just… look up the things they don’t understand, that’s not exactly hard

No plugins though is kind of a dealbreaker

have you considered that maybe if 3 different people “get offended” by your comment, it might be cause you’re an asshole and expressing your views in a really dick-ish way and invalidating a whole group of people? Food for thought, maybe do some introspection

It seems unlikely that eating lab-grown meat, for example, will be as efficient, in terms of CO2 emissions, as simply being vegan in a reasonable time frame. And it is currently not something that exists in a reasonable scale, so it’s not a “religious zealot view” to advance the current most practical, efficient, and easiest solution.

And some people who are vegan would not necessarily be against lab-grown meat, but it depends on who you ask

Well creator wanted to delete them of course

What are you talking about this wasn’t even Apple’s invention, it was used in quite a few devices, it’s probably more that people aren’t aware of it

Pretty sure there were reputable news articles right after Oct 7th that said that Israel’s intelligence was basically aware but decided to ignore it/dismiss it. So in this case they willfully ignored it for some reason, I wonder why…

Indeed, some models are reselling for extremely expensive prices nowadays, it’s a bit crazy. Especially since digital is just much more convenient, but it can feel nice to have some physical media

Alternatively you could look into a cassette deck if you’re not set on a portable player (one released before the 2000s, I don’t think they make new ones at all anyways), the high or medium end decks tend to have better sound – there’s much less flutter/wow – compared to portable players in the same price range nowadays, since they’re less “cool”. Still have to be pretty lucky to find good deals though

Well the point is to make it less of a popular thing to be a Nazi, and to make them be scared of being Nazis, at least publicly. The less Nazis are accepted the less people will find themselves validated in their beliefs

Yeah that’s exactly the problem with modern cassette players, they’re almost a waste of money. And the tape that is still produced today is quite terrible compared the old tape, so you also have to find old tape as well

Mexico’s name is the United Mexican States.

Well, for one there’s the constant love of the MIC (no criticism allowed), then there’s the ever present transphobia and homophobia (exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C, exhibit D), then the anti-immigrant/xenophobic stuff (example, you can see a lot of “they’re erasing our identity blablabla” bullshit there). Most threads have some right wing idiots.

No, they’re solidly right wing, perhaps the mods aren’t as much, but the people there definitely are.

Yes, that’s one of the restrictions. I also think you can’t see your users’ comments. (perhaps posts too, I am uncertain)

If you’re not interested in following something there or it’s not a topic you’re interested in, it’s alright. You could always create another account somewhere else or browse their instance anonymously.

The good thing about Lemmy is that you can always switch to another instance in the future. I started for a few months on .world and then moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Welcome! I hope you have a great time here and I’m glad people are moving :)

No worries! Thank you!

Seems to be a post that requires signing in, what did they say?

Right, except that’s not politically motivated, and is a useful change for people reading the code, both for women and non-binary people.

Calling pronouns “political” is the dogwhistle they always use

Well it’s 20ish% for Gen Z, so the acceptance likely plays a part there

And you knowing gay people exist when you were 7 didn’t turn you gay? Whoah, that’s soo surprising /s

Somehow knowing gay and straight people exist somehow didn’t turn me anything, I’m ace, it’s almost as if it has nothing to do with it…

Sometimes I wonder with these bigots, like how does their worldview even remotely make sense? (not talking about you ofc to be clear)

Practically nonexistant, it is not possible for children under 16 to access HRT, if anything they are prescribed puberty blockers (so that you know… they can avoid suffering from the changes in their body and not be permanently affected).

The general figure of regret for transgender affirming care is 1%, and 82.5% of these people do not detransition because they are no longer trans, but because of external factors. Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33794108/

By age 17, 0.1% of trans children get HRT. Source: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2828427

Now let’s calculate some numbers: 1% of these 0.1% will regret it, that’s 0.001%. And 17.5% of these might not be transgender, so that’s 0.000175%

According to that second study, there’s about 300000 trans children, so 0.000175% of that is 0.525 people.

So… less than 1 child in the whole United States would maybe regrets it because they’re not trans. In other words, you can stop fear mongering.
