I was too retarded to realize this was a joke and was in the middle of replying seriously.

But yeah I just bought a one-way ticket to Athens.

How much did you tip the waiters?

You’re right, the OP wasn’t serious. But same as with misogynistic jokes, a lot of people could believe the Joe Rogan thing. I mean he does like carnivore diets, he puts vaccine skeptic people on his show, he took Ivermectin, and there is likely some other dumb shit he spews that would be harmful. I could easily see someone believing that he was a part of if not a big cause of male deaths in during the pandemic if you’ve not read the article.

The examples I gave were intentionally bad to show the difference in reaction in this community. But TBH, I see now that the reaction is not as one sided as I saw in the first place. Still fucked up though.

I’m saying this about myself bro what the fuck are you talking about? I’m saying other people should follow one or the other.

No lie you sound like ChatGPT 0.1 trained on tumblr lmao.

It came rather easily if not even a bit eagerly to you for an argument against it.

I don’t even know what that means.

I was being aggressive by illustrating different situations to show that it’s unacceptable to anyone to make sexist jokes. But when it’s a sexist joke against men you don’t seem to care.

But what the hell am I derailing? The article said that suicides and overdoses are on the rise which cause early deaths disproportionately for men. Then the commenter said some dumb shit about health choices from Joe Rogan. There is no conversation here, OP just saw a chance to shit on meatheads but chose the wrong time and place.

And most importantly:

and despite how youre trying to sell it

*You’re

So It misses the point your tying to argue it makes on so many levels.

*You’re

I just saw someone being unfair towards a group of people and no one calling them out. If someone were to also make a joke at any minority group/protected class without anyone calling them out I’d do the same thing.

It’s just kinda hard to find people being misogynistic, racist, homophobic or whatever and no one calling them out at least here on lemmy. Which is good.

Makes sense I guess but it still feels unfair. Like people can make jokes about men who are suicidal and overdosing but you can’t make jokes about women’s stereotypes?

To me it should be one or the other

1- You can make whatever jokes about any protected class or minority

2- You can’t ever make jokes at the expense of a protected class regardless of how privileged they are

Does this mean that I can also make jokes about the massive gaps in other situations against women?

There are way more male than female politicians: Maybe if you stop bickering about emotional bullshit you’d be liked and voted for.

There are way more men than women in the tech sector: I mean hey women know how to make a good dish and men know how to code a good porn site.

There are more men holding executive positions in public companies: Listen, that’s on you if your work goes to shit for a week every month.

I could go on but you get the idea. Is that OK?

Sure I’ll gladly admit that to have a government agency that tampers with elections and persecutes people for having political opinions is fucked up. The practices of the NIS are akin to that of an authoritarian government, which stand against the liberal values I like. That being said, it doesn’t really hold a candle to what North Korea does with their “elections.”

I’ll also admit that I am acting like a douchebag because I think it’s fun. But you can’t come here to morally grandstand while screeching at me to read. You say all that shit when you can’t really give me any specific piece of information to bolster your arguments. You say that NK concedes stuff or whatever but you didn’t give me anything. And from the little that I’ve read just now, it looks like NK is worse than I thought. I didn’t even know anything about how they effectively force people to vote. I also thought that the food shortages might be overblown but apparently not. The best your lot could give me the inconsequential misinfo about NK and their hairstyles is not true or that SK also has human rights and democracy violations. It still doesn’t justify supporting the tyrannical government of NK.

the opinion of the people regarding political entities is inconsequential and easily influenced Is this what you say every night to feel better about how your tankie ideology is lamented by any reasonable person in a democratic

Now I can’t say I am an expert in Korean history but it seems that NK wants the US out of SK not because they’re afraid of US attacks but because they want to take over SK. But you know Kim is pretty smart keeping his people uninformed about the world outside his country since it’s probably gonna be bad for him. If people really knew that he was not willing to give up his nuclear bullshit and keeping his people perpetually in the verge of famine while their southern counterparts are economically thriving, he probably would lose a lot of his popularity. He’s not making the same mistake as East Berlin that’s for sure.

Also, I wouldn’t say that Trump got concessions from NK. I was saying that the opinion of the SK people was swayed because they saw hope since the summit was between Moon and Kim would be fruitful. The poll was after the May/2018 inter korean summit not the disastrous september/2018 singapore summit. Honestly, I wasn’t clear enough there I’ll give you that (not being sarcastic).

The point is that I was criticizing Kim because he was being authoritarian and hostile towards the west. You said that the South Koreans love him though. But they liked him after he was trying to find peace and concede with the westerners. This shows that he was changing his ways. I’m assuming that you don’t want that though.

I thought I should give you the info and let you realize what’s going on, but honestly that’s on me. I should have realized you’re a smooth-brain as soon as you parroted a headline without knowing what the fuck is going on.

That’s crazy but true. Funny thing is that a month before the poll the guy had a 10% approval rating. It’s only after the South Korean president was discussing demilitarization with Kim in the 2018 summit did people come to trust him.

hmmm… It’s almost as if you would show some good faith that you are willing to concede and not be a nuclear crazy warmonger, people would look positively at you. Crazy isn’t it?

Despite this, as of 2011, 74% of South Koreans have a favorable view of the U.S., making it one of the most pro-American countries in the world.

I mean the US did have talks and if you’re not willing to concede anything that’s on you. Also, military presence in the country is pretty different from occupation.

I can’t help it it’s just so fun shitting on people who advocate for authoritarian government

It’s pretty hilarious that any person would call the totalitarian, chronic food shortage stricken, ostracized North Korea “the Good Korea”

Kinda stretching the meaning of pollution here aren’t we?

That’s really awesome, glad ypu’re here with us. I hope this shows people that even when you’re at your lowest point (or perceived lowest point), it’s not hopeless.

What kind of gun were you gonna get though?

You want to put pressure on these things to make them more cost effecient. You’re in a capitalist system which does that job very well. But since this is not really a replaceable company, the government has to own these companies until they go public.

The article heavily implies that she was demoted because of the research she did. Is that the case? They said she “wasn’t of faculty quality” and nothing more. According to this, she couldn’t geg funding for years until the university demoted her.

That article was trash. Literally just a bunch of tweets with very little context.
