To the girls here: what action or social behaviour/etiquette you think you can get away doing/not doing that you couldn't if you were a man? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

It's mostly women who enforce this behavior, not men. If you want to call that patriarchy, I think you're applying the term a little too broadly

Ok but that's like, almost every woman. It's not just the occasional shithead, it's a systemic thing.

They plan on raising the limit when there's no children around.

Yeah it's crap. Summary of arguments:

  • raising speed limits on highways won't relieve congestion: 1) yes it will, and 2) that's not the point anyway

  • Higher speeds cause more crashes: fair point

  • Higher speeds burn more fuel: no shit

  • Think of the children!: not even worth addressing

Progressives aren't quite sure how to deal with Jill Stein in c/politics@lemmy.world

I dunno about you specifically but one of your ilk convinced me that Social Democracy is not really socialism and is more like a flavor of Liberalism. Just off the top of my head. Another one convinced me that some forms of anarchy are a viable system of government, though not my preferred one.

You ask for criteria on when it's too important to vote 3rd party. I give you criteria. You say, it doesn't matter, I'm still voting 3rd party. What was the point of that whole interaction if nothing could possibly change your mind?

No, you're right, I was looking at another comment and thought it was by the same person.

A few answers so far:

  • If I cry in public people will ask if I'm okay

  • I can ask for help with heavy/awkward things

  • I can just hand a meat cleaver to my friend in a public library and no one will be freaked out

Speak for yourself lol

Women are not a monolith

When was the last time you felt guilt about something, as in that emotional pit you noticeably feel in your stomach when you have done something wrong towards someone? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Why limit immigration? (lemmy.world)
 

Aside from racism. I mean economically/socially, what issues does too much immigration cause?

You are now in charge of Russia. What do you do? (lemmy.world)

You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone completely loyal to Putin is now loyal to you. Enemies of Putin are enemies of you. Putin no longer exists, and there has been a clean and absolute transfer of power to you. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin's body, you are just you. You're magically transferred to the Kremlin. The world at large doesn't know your past life, to them you have magically appeared as the new ruler. To everyone who knew you before, you just vanished.

Edit: no one knows your past life YET. They'll quickly figure it out. You will not lose any support based on your actions in your past life.

What do you think the Great Filter is? (lemmy.world)
 

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi paradox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence. As a 2015 article put it, "If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox

Personally I think it's photosynthesis. Life itself developed and spread but photosynthesis started an inevitable chain of ever-greater and more-efficient life. I think a random chain of mutations that turns carbon-based proto-life into something that can harvest light energy is wildly unlikely, even after the wildly unlikely event of life beginning in the first place.

I have no data to back that up, just a guess.

TIL about the TRAPPIST-1 Star System (en.wikipedia.org)
 

(it's not a solar system because Sol is our star, specifically; we're the only Solar system)

TRAPPIST-1 is a cool red dwarf star[c] with seven known exoplanets.

Up to four of the planets – designated d, e, f and g – orbit at distances where temperatures are suitable for the existence of liquid water, and are thus potentially hospitable to life.

The red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 has an estimated lifespan of pretty much the entire lifespan of the universe. If any of those planets are habitable, and humanity goes there, we could live there until the end of the whole universe, no worrying about our sun going out in about 5 billion years. It could be our forever home.

The planets in the TRAPPIST system are extremely close to each other, so the night sky on any of them would be awe-inspiring, with multiple bodies bigger than our moon rising and setting every night.
