I can see both so I promise you it’s not a troll, but it is a wild phenomenon.

garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do we feel about Lemmy communities that ban others based on a protected characteristics e.g. gender, sexuality, etc?71·1 day agoYes, I’m saying it would be totally okay to hold a space for Lemmy that was explicitly for men, as long as it (like the community you’re referring to) explicitly banned hate speech. Because it’s okay to hold spaces for certain groups sometimes, especially when it’s in order to hold safe positive spaces to connect.
If we had more positive men-only spaces, men would overall be happier and healthier, which would be a win for everyone. Unfortunately, since a lot of spaces online often don’t ban negative or extreme takes, they often just lead to worsening mental health for their members. This isn’t exclusive to men, I’ve seen women’s spaces do the same, which is why I mention they need to be well moderated and ban hate speech, again, like the community you mention here does.

garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada could slap more duties on US steel and aluminum, says Carney11·1 day agoIf Carney gave a fuck about standing up to America he wouldn’t be trying so hard to push through the border bill literally (and admittedly) designed to kiss Trump’s ass. It’s like a month in and I’m already fucking done with this guy.
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Pro-Palestinian activists infiltrate Britain’s largest airbase in major security breachEnglish51·1 day agoI don’t know about the mechanics, but a lot of activism is more aimed at making a point rather than causing extensive damage. They made their point here and made headlines, which sounds pretty effective as far as activism goes.

Feel free to make a positive men’s space on Lemmy explicitly banning hate speech if you’d really like to support and uplift other men :)
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone•What traditionally men's fashions do you like to wear?3·1 day agoI wear a mix of men’s and women’s but the pockets never cease to amaze me in men’s pants. I found suitpants that have a pocket INSIDE the fucking pocket!! Women truly have been robbed by this fashion trend.
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone•Can you find yourself on this scale?2·1 day agoI’m not a huge fan of this diagram because it also seems to imply that having a belly is somehow more masculine? Barbie girls can have big bellies too… Thinness isn’t and shouldn’t be a factor in feminity.
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do we feel about Lemmy communities that ban others based on a protected characteristics e.g. gender, sexuality, etc?11·1 day agoProbably because they made a comment saying “as a man” or something to that effect, especially considering they hadn’t previously realized it was a woman only space
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•BBC drops Gaza medics documentary over impartiality concernsEnglish7·1 day agoAt this point and with how much support Israel has received from the international community, no government is willing to admit how complicit they’ve been in this genocide, even if it is as clear as your comment/the medic incident makes it, so they’re just going to keep pretending.
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Officials defend Liberal bill that would force hospitals, banks, hotels to hand over data5·1 day agoI have written and called with no response, but my MP is conservative so I imagine they have even less fucks to give on this extremely right-wing bill. I feel so fucking hopeless on all of this. I also just saw Bill C-5 was passed which is another huge dump on indigenous rights.
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•U of R professor found liable of defamation for calling a book ‘racist garbage’122·1 day agoI haven’t read the book either but from the description and from my own knowledge of the systemic racism within Canada, the racist history of the RCMP and police forces in canada, and the known practice of “starlight tours”, I would 100% understand why someone would surmise that the book is racist garbage.
I almost want to read it to find out how the author could possibly justify any of the police actions, but I’d really rather not, so I’m just going to make my own assumptions about why the judge ruled the way they did (and I have one very obvious guess).
In English? Lol what region? I have never heard this
Cabron in Mexican Spanish is widely used, but I think it’s not usually used to describe dumb. I’d translate it rather as bastard/asshole.
It can also be used to describe when a situation or something is difficult.
Wondering what region of Spanish this is. I’m mexican and I know some of them but have never heard of others.
In every country, all cops are pigs.
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?9·1 day agoCanadians do this too, and then like flip flops or slip ons with socks. It’s a choice…
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are you plans if one of your devices fail, (or if multiple fails simultaneously)? Do you have any "back up"/"spare" devices to use while your "main" devices are being repaired/replaced?9·3 days agoOnce I ran out of charge on my vibrator at the wrong time. I now have a backup and keep batteries nearby. I don’t fuck around like that anymore.
garbagebagel@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Why do children of immigrants dislike immigrants?English15·4 days agoI don’t understand why this comment is so low. As an immigrant myself who migrated when I was very young, the answer of internalized racism is very obvious to me. It took me almost 25 years to fully open my eyes to the racist beliefs I had internalized growing up, and even being aware of it now, it takes an awful lot of self-work to unlearn certain things.
Mandatory fuck Loblaws and Weston Galen. Fuck Jim Pattison too while we’re at it.
