I use like five different messengers for different friend groups. I wish I had the confidence and determination of my brother who singlehandedly forced my entire extended family to exclusively use Signal amongst each other He basically blackmailed them lmao but it worked and after 1 month of adjusting noone complained

I don’t understand why there’s so many people who don’t want Lemmy to grow. I came here because I wanted a freeer more decentralised web for everyone, not just me.

I need context

Yo is that the same guy from your last post

The old testament is by definition also part of the christian bible lol. I get what you mean, there’s also a book called the jewish bible, but clearly that’s not what they meant

God I love social progress. Looking forward to when I can frown at how puritan the 2000-2030s were

I can’t remember the title but that’s pretty much the same plot as the first english romance novel ever written.

It “makes sense” considering the honor-shame society the story was created for. A pure, pious woman is pitted against a shameful, violent man. The central motif is the radiant woman purifying the shameful man who converts (to Christianity) and courts the woman according to social norms instead of violently raping her. This is framed as a good ending because his shame is removed.

If you value innocence over honor this is completely incomprehensible. The guilt is still there, it was never accounted for.

Edit: Oh, and Marry-your-rapist-laws were and are still more common than you might know. Even if countries that don’t have one, individual courts may still decide that way.

these memes fucking suck lately omg

This is just boomer humor

Unlike Bluesky, Lemmy does the whole Fediverse thing. So even if Lemmy gets popular and swarmed, it wouldn’t be as bad if it becomes shitty. It’d still be a win

Honestly if you’re not sure how therapy can help you, then therapy can’t properly help you. Most of the work comes from the patient

Corporations supporting pride are canaries in the coalmine. When they stop chirping, you know something is wrong.

Besides, I don’t like cynicism. Yeah, most big corps don’t give a fuck. And this is what this meme is about. But regular gays work everywhere, and support does make a difference in those places

In some countries it’s actually required for therapists to periodically see a therapist. To avoid getting retraumatized by their patients trauma and such

Holy shit, you’re not lying. The literal first Post on his Twitter
