Arbiters hate this one trick

Progress isn’t a straight line, and sometimes there are setbacks on the way. I’m disappointed, of course, but I’m optimistic that we’ll manage.

My guess is that there isn’t a country out there that has a cultural preference for women over men, so at best you’re going to see fairly close to equal, plus the difference of men dying earlier from things like wars, dangerous jobs, and lifestyle.

I would totally use a retro style beige case for my next build…

This is literally the best thing that could happen to our democracy, in my opinion. Unfortunately it requires the 2 major parties to agree to give up some of their influence, so…

Well that’s gross.

I don’t know, it just sort of happened one day.

Lemmy history! Stickied.
