    Hey, guess what! Your argument is so inane, even OpenAI is now convinced it was a really stupid idea too. But sure, go on pretending that freely available fan art by a single person is exactly the same as a paid service by a multi-billion dollar company.







  • This is a prime example of why patriarchy is hurting men too, because what this guy is saying boils down to:

    • We can make them work at any hour of the day because who cares if these guys have any life outside work?
    • We don’t have to do any work management, we just call those guys
    • We can send them wherever, whenever
    • We can create a toxic work environment and it’s okay to treat guys like shit
    • And those guys don’t even complain because they need this job so bad
      Isn’t it great?

    The statement about “workplace laws” is so telling: Yeah, who cares about treating men with respect and dignity!?
    It’s not just about discriminating against women, it’s also about mistreating men. That’s what patriarchy is at its core: Pit men and women against each other and then reap the benefits. It’s a “divide and conquer strategy”.




  • I can relate to your rant. So just one small note, if I may: I know how you may feel in this moment, but keep in mind that transitioning takes time. Yes, of course, there are things that can be changed quickly (new clothes, etc.), but other things take a lot of time (hormones take a while before they kick in and so do other physical changes). You do not have to be in a rush to get everything done ASAP, because it often does not work that way. So don’t put yourself under a lot of pressure and be kind to yourself. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable with yourself. Godspeed, friend!

    Back when the mod team of c/Ghazi decided to leave Reddit and moved to Blahaj.Zone’s Lemmy, the strict moderation was one of the reasons we did so: Vocal minorities can far too easily spoil the enjoyment for everybody else. A tight moderation is the only way to prevent that from happening and personally I am glad to be a part of Blahaj.Zone

    Thanks to Ada, Supakaity, all the mods of the communities on Blahaj.Zone and everybody else around here for making it such a unique site!
