Get this smash song a rap guy. I got the lyrics.

So anyone can self identify as anything and switch around on a whim?

Technically yes, but people don’t tend to do that because identity runs deep and the trends is to correct a wrong like a mind-body mismatch.

whats the determining factor?

It’s complex but it’s usually gender dysphoria.

If I get arrested can I say I’m a female and get put in a women’s prison for instance,

You’d probably go into the prison that matches your official documentation regardless of what you say.

you’re only downvoting it because of how it was worded

Yeah, and it’s tied to what I said earlier. There was some thought behind it lol

I think you’re doing more damage to the Lemmy community

Let’s not. I sincerely did not vote either way because I also agree with the sentiment, but I commented as if I had (down) voted because of the friction it creates in my mind. We don’t need to go around arbitrarily assigning blame.

Their weird rationalization for why people are downvoting the vegan comment. I agree with its sentiment but not its delivery is my point, as a counter example to their reasoning bias.

I wouldn’t be so sure judging by these ratios. Still, sounds more like something best expressed in the first person, especially when it relates to sexuality.

I’d use it to fall asleep in my chair to 90s sitcoms on YouTube.

You absolutely can have smugness even with a single word given the context, and Lemmy and society at large have provided plenty of context in the form of a questionable activism and social trends & attitudes and drama. Given this, I can deduce some things, it’s not so out of reach.

And besides, arguing my opinions on why I downvoted someone doesn’t seem as important to me as addressing the extremely inaccurate take by the other guy.

when your point is valid the smugness is negligible

I wish that were true. I can’t count the times people have ignored reason because I was slightly smug to someone in that same sentence 😅

Well of course it’s a reading given the social context and the overall discourse on Lemmy. It does not exist in a vacuum. And that does not confirm any previous comment, what does that even mean. Lol

could be the shittiest world and we still wouldn’t need to eat animals

I’m not arguing that

But people read this and can’t handle the reality that these situations

No. I’m downvoting for other reasons like the comment coming out of the left field and being smug. I absolutely agree with it but bruh, obviously in a utopian world things would be perfect. Pointing out the obvious to explain what could be avoided feels condescending.

Last year I was sitting in my house alone when I distinctly heard the microwave buttons click one by one. Beep, beep, beep and START. I flipped the fuck out. There was nobody there, but the plate was spinning and the microwave was on with nothing in it. I had to go turn it off, it was scary as hell. I have no idea how this happens but I’m scared it may happen again and it catches fire with nobody home to stop it.

Ahp ahp ahp ahp, we don’t do that in this house, honey. We are devout believers and it is by our faith that we believe it was 5 short years ago, amen. :)

Ah, not what I was expecting but fair enough.

Oh, how the turns have tabled!

Three years?? I only got a week’s worth of homework for an entire school year for cursive. It sucked because I had to finish the whole thing during school break and the teacher never checked it but at least it wasn’t three years’ worth! lol

Judge away, but my chalk signs are ✨fabulous✨ and you can’t read them. Neener-neener.

I don’t like AOC.

Oh, I hope you don’t mind the question, but why’s that? I like her quite a bit and now I’m curious.

I hope somebody is happy with the work I put in tho. Somebody is going to drag a webp into the system and have it be accepted.

And that was me! I mean, not with your software but with someone else’s years ago. Still, in a weird anachronistic karma sort of way, thank you for caring.

Oh yeah? Well, here’s an extra cute pose just for you, cat-haver police!

He is Toby and he… Err… Loves sleeping belly up 🤷‍♂️

It’s gangsta Thin Bone’s claw

Tbf, they a whoopsie worthy of a Frolic.
