or even hold them in civil contempt of court, which can include jail time

Do it, don't give these ass hats the time to play and see how far they can run, smack them with whatever tools are at your disposal NOW!

Holy hell, 1 month old account that's probably 75% crying about perceived misandrist goblins. I'd think these kind of trolls would be banished sooner than that.

Did you happen to unplug the external drive when it was moved? Could wonder if the device ID got changed and the server can't find the old location for the library any longer.

Which is exactly why he stuck himself in there.

Because scrapping existing things just because they're not a throwback to the old gas guzzler days is surely going to save money and make things great again.

I'm kind of waiting for him to throw out a maximum fuel efficiency standard. You know, get them back to the good ol days of the 1970s 8/mpg Lincoln that weigh 2 tons.

Conveniently he has a plan to create the XSS that very same year...

.world is hardly the home of the tankie, what you see might be posts from lemmy.ml

There are two other places known as lemmygrad and hexbear that are outright communist/tankie that you'll see occasionally brigade when someone posts anything positive about the USA.

This and most others are pretty sane. One that comes to mind for what you're asking particularly might be https://slrpnk.net/signup who seem kind of left but not Stalin left.

Otherwise there's the join Lemmy link at the bottom of any given instance to look through.

It's interesting to have a middle name?

nor serve any additional term after serving two consecutive terms

Why do I get the impression that this specific detail is was put in to preclude Obama? Being about the only living D former president they might worry about. Going to have to brush up on my amendment procedures but I seem to recall it needing either 2/3 or 3/4 of Congress to even get to the states.

Pride disinvited them after their pullback, and there has been plenty of chatter of people moving to Costco. Recent CNN piece talks about it as well.

So wait a damn minute here. Target, a MN company, had (past tense) an expansive DEI program that they recently scrapped following along with the trend from multiple other outfits.

Unlike many other places the public actually got mobilized in some level to show they're pissed off at Target for ditching the program and refusing to shop there.

NOW the FL attorney general decided they should try and file a suit against them for being 'woke'?

What kind of backwards response is that? It hardly even makes sense from a political theater perspective much less in any practical way. Fascists, still unable to find their own ass with both hands and a flashlight...

Edit: It occured to me that as conspiratorial as it sounds it's possible Target begged for this treatment to try and gain some sympathy points for being picked on by the big bad far right. Give the people someone else they already hate to point at and maybe some 'forget' that you the company just gave a big FU to a sizable portion of your customers/employees/suppliers.

That last part sounds like grand idea, and likely not too hard to do on the client side. Perhaps just a way to sort things by tagging a comm with some flag and all the ones with a specific flag show up in a custom feed. That way even if the names are not quite the same you could create these merged comms to read from.

The hard part there would be posting, you would want some kind of easy way to send a new post to a specific one, but I can't say having a 'post to all' would be a good idea, that sounds like a spam poster's best friend.

Hey all,

So I'm looking to take an active step here to understand better some things that my straight/white/cis/middle-aged male brain has had a tough time wrapping itself around, particularly in the gender identity front.

I'm working from the understanding of physical sex as the bio-bits and the expressed identity as being separate things, so that part is easy enough.

What's confusing to me though is like this. If we take gender as being an expression of your persona, a set of traits that define one as male, female, or some combination of both then what function does a title/pronoun serve? To assume that some things are masculine or feminine traits seems to put unneeded rigidity to things.

We've had men or women who enjoy things traditionally associated with the other gender for as long as there have been people I expect. If that's the case then what purpose does the need for a gender title serve?

I'll admit personally questioning some things like fairness in cis/trans integrated sports, but that's outside what I'm asking here. Some things like bathroom laws are just society needing to get over itself in thinking our personal parts are all that special.

Certainly not trying to stir up any fights, just trying to get some input from people that have a different life experience than myself. Is it really as simple as a preferred title?

Edit: Just wanted to take a second to thank all the people here who took the time to write some truly extensive thoughts and explanations, even getting into some full on citation-laden studies into neurology that'll give me plenty to digest. You all have shown a great deal of patience with me updating some thinking from the bio/social teachings of 20+ years back. 🙂
