Well, to be fair we are both butthurt about the election in that case.
And sure, maybe my sense of humor is juvenile, but you really could use a chill pill. Just because they don’t agree with you doesn’t mean anyone accused you of being a rapist.
Edit: and fwiw, while I don’t really think I was being uncivil, I don’t blame the mod. It was a bit silly of a joke, and clearly your reaction shows it didn’t come across as light-hearted as I intended it.
Nothing is wrong with them, but I get not wanting to gamble with thos odds.
Especially when, according to the national park service, “when bear encounters do happen, they are most often nonviolent”. So if you had to gamble…

You know, around the point you mistook me for a liberal, I realized something. Nowhere in this thread have you shown an once of concern or sympathy for Palestine. You have only tried to admonish others and pat yourself on the back. If I knew nothing else about your character, that would be enough.
Live well, maybe one day you’ll find the redemption you prescribe to others.
I too have been consistently against genocide, I have protested, I have called senators, I have donated time, money, medical supplies, and food.
I didn’t gamble and lose, I fought the best I can, and will continue to do so.
I hope you do more than “demand better”, because all your demands amount to is pissing down the backs of Palestinians and telling them it’s raining.

No, I heard your gotcha. But the reality is standing to the side telling people “I told you so” is just sticking your head in the sand. You are enabling a worse genocide just for the sake of moral masturbation.
You might as well tell the people feeding the homeless they are “accepting homelessness” as well. Amounts to the same bullshit logic.
But when Trump enables a full scale genocide, you can pay yourself on the back and say “I had nothing to do with that”.
If your “gotcha” is you prefer the genocide to get worse to “teach people a lesson”, you need to do some introspection as well.
What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…
And nothing you do seems very right?
What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?
It’s great to be able to stop
When you’ve planned a thing that’s wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:
I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there’s something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.
The Communist Party USA – like the bulk of the broad democratic, labor, peace, and people’s movements in the country – has prioritized the defeat of MAGA fascism and Republicans’ Project 2025 agenda as the primary task of its participation in the 2024 election
I get the knee jerk reaction to think any and all third parties exist solely to be a spoiler for Dems and thusly get Trump elected. But I wonder if the people down voting this noticed that the Communist Party USA isn’t pushing a candidate, and is instead saying people should vote for Kamala to defeat fascism.
The article linked just talks about various progressive goals and how said Party hopes to achieve them.
Their website even has a recent article talking about how all a progressive candidate can do in this presidential election is break up the vote and usher in fascism under Trump. And how instead pushing for a united front is the way to go.
Caring about these bench marks is how you find one to last another 12 years.
I get that this is not the hill to die on in this meme, but the tracks should really be reversed.
This implies “doing nothing” will only sacrifice Palestine, while “pulling the lever” (i.e. voting) will sacrifice Palestine+all other at risk groups.
Otherwise, this really is a classic trolly dilemma. We can’t stop the train and someone is going to get killed.
Lemmy user TachyonTele SLAMS news outlets for their unwanted hyperbole!!!
Very true, but the overwhelming majority of women interact with men overwhelmingly frequently compared to bears.
Almost as if the whole thing is a light hearted way of drawing attention to a very real fear women live with every day, that stats posted above bear (get it?) witness to.
Plus, if we are being pedantic, it’s not “interactions with men”. It’s “would you, as a woman, feel safer encountering a man or a bear when you are alone in the woods”.
