If there are two non-binaries, does that make non-binary binary?

As if it would be any sort of contest to have a Dem vs GOP race in LA. This way the general election might not be a foregone conclusion.

Memes of Production@quokk.au•fascism is caused by too liberal star warsEnglish
17·1 month agoThe star wars sequels were very poorly thought out and fans were disappointed and upset. The average person is not very good at analyzing the reasons for something like that, though, so a lot of them bought into the narrative that the Star Wars sequels were ruined by wokeness. That was undeniably part of a wave of reactionary sentiment which swept Trump into office. Whether Star Wars was a lynchpin of it or not, I’m not sure, but it’s plausible.

politics @lemmy.world•Mike Pence says the Trump administration has ‘departed’ from conservative principles
8·1 month agoHe’s the purest representation of right-wing principles we have seen. That’s not the same thing as conservative. A conservative position opposes all change - including change to the right. So I’d say that Pence is right.
If anything, the Democrats are the more conservative party right now, and the MAGA Republicans are trying to move the country further to the right. I still don’t think that a conservative position is good, but it’s better than a fascist position.

politics @lemmy.world•More than half of Americans say the cost of living is worse under Trump than at any other point in their lives
11·1 month agoI think it’s because a poll showing that opinions are shifting that way gives people hope about things getting better, because the hope is that public opinion would drive politics.
It wouldn’t really be news to people who are struggling that things are bad. But it is news (and good news at that) if other people’s opinions are shifting to acknowledge that.
From my experience it seems like programming communities in general are pretty chill and accepting. It might be related to the large portion of programmers that are neurodiverse and LGBTQ+.
Soft, nice, and mean? Where can I find them? :P
The US definitely could afford it, but the ruling class doesn’t want that because it would make the working class less exploitable.
I like having a term to refer to female x female relationships specifically. Maybe in part because if I call myself “gay” people might think that I like men because they might see me as a man. I’m not a fan of how the meanings of “gay” and “straight” are so context-dependent in general. It might be nicer to have commonly used terms that just mean male-attracted and female-attracted. In the meantime, I appreciate that the lesbian label fits me and is clear on both fronts (about my identity and the identity of those I’m attracted to).
I hope it’s not talking about RadFems. Like, the TERF/SWERF types. I don’t like those and don’t really consider them to be feminists at all. If it means being strongly committed to feminism, though, then I’m in.
I obviously can’t speak definitively for any individual besides myself. However, I think I can make a pretty solid guess as to why that is.
Trans women, especially those who transition later in life, have prior experience with being seen as men by society. And they probably found life to be difficult when living as a man, in many cases. So, I think that because of that, they can be more likely to empathize with men.
Personally, I try to empathize with every person, regardless of gender. I think that the people who deserve scorn still end up looking bad when you give them that benefit.
It’s hard to say on some of these things, but 12 was the count that I got.













As it should. Google is factually responsible for the resulting slop and should be legally responsible for it.
