huh? food companies put addictive sugar/fat/salt combinations in everything now. our brains didn't evolve for this - like nobody thinks that a cup of granola + milk is like half your daily calorie intake - that's why people are obese - not because they can't "choose" to be healthy..
“‘Female’ and ‘woman’ mean an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova,” the text of the bill continues, adding “‘Male’ and ‘man’ mean an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to fertilize the ova of a female.”
I mean what are people apart from ova producing and fertilizing machines - I'm sure this will solve all your underpopulation fears...
“There are legitimate reasons to distinguish between the sexes with respect to athletics, prisons and other correctional facilities, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, locker rooms, restrooms, and other areas where biology, safety, or privacy are implicated,” the bill reads.
Genuine gestapo shit - what's next ID facial recognition when you go to a public bathroom?
folk defending this as "just an image of a child" and not seeing it as a minor being softcore sexualized should really revaluate your perception.
this is not a good look for anime fans in general and I don't like that I have to ban every anime sub so I can browse lemmy on the bus.
please realize that this will only end up hurting the community in the long term when everyday people join and see stuff like this and assume that all anime content is of this nature.
don't get me wrong I like anime but there's a difference between a pic of Anya as a cute kid and the image in the OP.
this is my last resort...
Ok, let me propose a theory:
In this context the timing was perfect for everyone's domestic problems. Israel's massive protests vanished overnight. US defense spending got bipartisan support for the first time in years. Every incumbent got their foreign crisis distraction while defense contractors cashed in.
The world's eyes switched from Ukraine, domestic failures, and economic problems to picking sides in Gaza. Defense budgets exploded, energy markets destabilized profitably, and populations rallied around their governments while ignoring corruption at home.
And that totally is the playbook of disaster capitalism. Don't be a useful idiot for the war profiteers. Demand your government oppose blank-check military spending, and support peace negotiations over arms deals.
I hadn't noticed how pro-cop some feddit.org users are but a cursory glance at people taking police reporting at face value and then openly defending cops punching people in the face with "it's out of context" reasoning is just surreal.
It reeks to me of living in a bubble your whole life and never having experienced police repression - so your only response is "it can't be the police, they've never done anything against me, it must be the protestors that are wrong"
Usually I'm one that hates leftist infighting but defacto trying to suppress a genocide because the "law says so" is rather weak. Still I totally understand wanting to protect yourself from repression but surely if you cared about both justice and your well being you would just hand over the community to someone else? Unless of course you actually agree with the "law"...
ah yes the classic "you made me repeatedly punch you in the face because I was afraid in my full body riot armor" - good to know the brave solders defending a genocide have loyal supporters on lemmy as well 🫶
so you combat leftist infighting with more leftist infighting? curious..
honestly most (if not all?) tankie instances are defederated so I don't understand what posts like this are trying to achieve apart from digging up off-instance drama for personal vindication
But even in the Far East it is known that the AfD and BSW will only indirectly influence Germany's future international positions. The SPD is seen as open to stronger economic relations, while the CDU and especially the Greens are seen as hostile. Interestingly, the Chinese party press describes the Greens as "ultra-right".
