Sexual violence as a tool of war has always happened and probably will always happen as long as wars exist. Pick a war, pick any side, they use sexual violence.

I’m not defending anyone doing this, I think it’s heinous, but it’s incredibly common, which is my main point.

You can find unscented antiperspirant, FWIW

I got a reaction when I switched from deodorant to antiperspirant, but it went away in like a month.

Recommend a game for me to play with my partner

My partner and I occasionally play games together, but they pretty much only play word puzzle games on their own. I’m not very good at word games though, and they don’t have very good spatial skills, so we frequently find ourselves mismatched. We have a switch and a single decent gaming pc, and a pretty old laptop....

Visual novel types of games, maybe? Anything from Quantic Dream, Telltale

I get why people love SH2, but I don’t get why people overlook the original. And they’re remaking SH2 and skipping the original, which is sad imo

Ex-Philadelphia labor leader convicted of embezzling from union to pay for home renovations, meals (apnews.com)

Former Philadelphia labor leader John “Johnny Doc” Dougherty and a codefendant were convicted Thursday of using more than $650,000 in union funds for personal use, marking the second conviction federal prosecutors have secured against the long-powerful figure since a sweeping 2019 indictment....

Fuck Johnny Doc lol. Dude made the mayor pass a beverage tax because he hated the Teamsters and wanted to hurt their business. Regardless of your thoughts on a sugary drink tax as a public health measure, that’s a shitty reason to push it into law.

French law upholds cows' right to moo in countryside (www.nst.com.my)

PARIS: Urbanites seeking peace and quiet in the bucolic French countryside will have more difficulty in taking farmers to court over crowing roosters, mooing cows and stinking pigs in the future after parliament passed a new law, reported German news agency (dpa).

People are bad at statistics. Murder numbers might be high in some places that the original comment named but 1. The populations are larger and 2. Violent crime is a minority of overall crime. Murder is a tiny fraction of violent crime

Sure, but I’m talking about the legal way we “guard the vote”. It’s incredibly effective and not super exciting.

I think I missed the joke?

Can I get UberEats to stop recommending to "bundle" alcohol from a liquor store to your order?

It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.

The ADA doesn’t have anything to do with marketing/advertising. Yes, people struggling with addiction are a protected class. How does that apply here?

Can we sue people who make Souls games because they’re too hard for people with one hand? of course not. Should trivia games be banned because some people have intellectual disabilities? Can you ban my advertisement for my trivia night because of that? No. The ADA isn’t that wide

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

The ADA is a law, not an agency. And the law mandated those ramps. It’s all in the law, which hasn’t been updated since it was written 30 years ago

Is there a reason why you can’t download it on your device and email it? Sorry, just trying to understand the situation

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

There should be a way to save the file, I would think. There’s nothing on your phone browser about saving it? I would call HR for support (or ask whoever is onboarding you if it’s a new job). I’m sure they’ve had to handle this before

Edit: also who downvoted OP for that comment lol? Talk about judgmental

Not sure that an ant is relevant to this discussion, since it’s not really similar to a cow, pig, dog, cat, etc.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know tbh. I do know that cattle is insanely bad and other meats are slightly less bad (it’s not very efficient to heavily deforest our planet for animal feed, like what’s been going on in the Amazon, for example)

Manosphere grifters misuse evolutionary psychology to promote anti-feminist views (boingboing.net)

New research in the journal Evolutionary Human Sciences, from University of Kent researchers Louis Bachaud and Sarah Johns, explores how members of various manosphere communities (think Andrew Tate and his ilk) misuse research and concepts from evolutionary psychology to bolster their own misogynistic views.

The disturbing thing to me isn’t that idiots misunderstand and misquote research, it’s that people gobble their shit up. It’s stunning how popular some of this shit is

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, given OP’s history on here so far, I think this is accurate

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Oh this guy has some cringe history on here. Looks like he complains about “censorship” when mods delete his shit. He also has a recent comment implying that minorities don’t suffer that much

Edit: OP, the real question is why would anyone deny the reality of racism, sexism, and other biases/bigotries in our world?

Is it problematic that older people get off on people that look like kids? Sure, that’s kinda weird. I see kids in college and it amazes me that other people my age are attracted to them. They look like kids to me and I’m not even 10 years out from undergrad.

Is it wrong that the community exists on Lemmy? I don’t think so. It’s legal and you’re not going to eliminate the behavior by getting rid of the community.

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Right, we agree about legality and morality not necessarily being the same. I disagree that it would really discourage it though.

How old are you? It’s been years since I dated, but I had a decent amount of success on dating apps. It can take time to curate a good profile. Also, my understanding is that free options are nonexistent or flooded with fake OF profiles, so that might make it more difficult

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, the Instagram and OF stuff wasn’t around when I was using dating apps. That sounds pretty difficult to get through. Seems like Match Group bought all the competition and ruined it from what I’ve heard.
