This but unironically.

Fuck appeals to nature.

Nixon (also Reagan and Johnson) severely damaged it, Trump is just the end stage.

I just think it’s a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy’s creation and growth aren’t exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.

NYC, San Francisco, and Santa Monica did it. A lawsuit Airbnb put forth to to block it in NYC got dismissed even.

Guns are pretty much banned in Japan and the UK.

Still, presenting it as a binary is harmful to the movement, when Americans regularly poll in favor of stricter gun measures but not an outright ban.

According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it’s the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I’d actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)

No.

I mean, the government not using a heavy hand in switching us to metric (not that it doesn’t use a heavy hand in other things) is the reason we never did. The law was passed, but nobody cared, so we never switched.

Fate is only difficult for people who are adamant about watching adaptations. And even though I do think the UBW anime at least reaches the threshold of “good,” it’s still inferior.

please tell me this is a joke

I thought it was “want you in my room when the baby is sick” until today

It’s the lesser of two evils vs. for-profit dating apps.

USA is Easy mode. It’s just that Western Europe, Australia, Japan, and Canada are Very Easy mode.

KaiOS (which has a fairly specific reason to exist that doesn’t apply to most iOS or Android users) notwithstanding I don’t see a third competitor gaining any serious traction (traction = apps actually existing = phone actually being usable) this late into the game.

“Porn addiction” is actually more like “porn compulsion.” Colloquially, compulsions are often called addictions (“video game addiction” is also a compulsion, an addiction would be something like crack) but it’s worrying with porn because it’s treated as an actual addiction, and the theories behind the modern worries about “porn addiction” are pseudoscience by unqualified people (Gary Wilson and Marnia Robinson) with a very strict idea of what a sexual relationship should look like.

Do I need more context? This just sounds like a BDSM relationship to me.

I mean as someone who is in this boat themselves this is a pretty common opinion among bisexuals.

Personally I think asking for “realism” in fiction has been an unmitigated disaster
