Another terrifying british 24°C heat wave?

The situation of trans peoplem in Turkey is interesting. They were much more dominant part of society much earlier than in the west. It was completly normal in many parts of Istanbul to see trans people in the 1980s already. Trans people were also big part of pop culture quite early, Bülent Ersoy for example became a trans superstar in the 1980s. Gender change is legal since 1988 (much earlier than many EU countries).

At the same time, there defintly are a lot of social repercussions against trans people.

It is quite the mixed pack tbh.

Turks are the perfect alphas confirmed (we don’t have gender in our language). He, she, it, all the same to us.

Would be interesting seeing his evangelical supporters justifying this.

Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don’t think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

Edit: I also want to applaude you for wearing Spiderman socks in this specific post!

2l sound excessive.

1.5 liters a day is a set amount, right?

And still students disliking genocide are the antisemites according to AIPAC and co.

Tbh money could be the initiative. So many content creators nowadays have platforms beside YouTube. Often even self hosted weboages. If a federated alternative would come up, they could just set up an own server and keep all the earnings.

This would somehow need to get started though. No idea how.

They didn’t capitulate. They never fought. They just did what was the best shot at earning money and gaining ground at the time.

Don’t ever expect moral based behavior in capitalism or geopolitics.

Check them out. Some are great (Cranberries and Blur for example). I also guess you’ll know more than you think.

Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you dessalines@lemmy.ml for creating an alternative. :)

Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.

Nah, that is not really true. There has been a significant bump due to covid, but before covid IQ test results have shown constant improvements.

That said, I don’t think IQ and political idiocy are that strongly correlated. I’ve met a lot of highly trained people, who would doubtlessly get great IQ test results, who are politically extremely gullible.

That also said, IQ tests are a quite flawed way to assess intelligence.

My personal believe is: This is not about people getting dumber, but about propagandists getting better. I also think that unsteadiness is a way better catalysator for fascism than low intelligence.
