Not all women are into astrology, but all the people who are into astrology are women.

Actually, they’re a very specific and weird subset of women. They almost always have these traits:

• In their late teens to early/mid 20s
• Into “witchcraft” unironically
• Too into celebrity gossip
• Think yoga and meditation is sacred
• Have a completely delusional and out of touch view of Buddhism and Hinduism
• Have at least one of the following: Comically proportioned glasses, excessive piercings, unnatural hair colors, “spiritual” tattoos
• Think they’re an “artist” of sorts

I’ve yet to meet an astrology fan who didn’t have at least 80% of these.

People like you are so annoying, why can’t you just be happy about small wins?

This is why we evolved to have social hierarchies. It allows social animals such as ourselves to organize and divide labor to achieve things that would otherwise be impossible for individuals. When people feel like their individual contributions towards a particular cause don’t amount to anything then that’s a good sign that the cause is lacking structure and leadership that would be necessary to mobilize people.

But your claim isn’t that self proclaimed conservative communities technically exist, but that right wing politics are prominent to some degree on Lemmy as a platform… which they are very much not.

Bruh, it’s dead. The last post was made over a year ago

On here? Where?

People forget that before reddit became the default for this stuff, Quora and Yahoo Answers filled the same niche

How much does it cost you to host?

Lemmy won’t ever become bigger than what it currently is. I’ve been waiting for years but the reality is that Lemmy will forever be a niche platform for left wing politics that’s banned on Reddit and tech bros.

Nothing is ever permanent in geopolitics. Who ever is telling you that there is someone who’s lying to you.

Just an FYI, it originated in India. It’s called Arabic because it was introduced to Europe via the Arabs, however, both of the numeral system that are widely used in the Arab world came from India.

People today really do lack basic critical thinking to the point where it’s not just concerning, but could outright explain the decline of our society. I think it should be common sense to consume media while being mindful of its era and audience as well as being able separate the art from the artists. I think it’s ridiculous that there are people who are attacking actors for playing an outdated joke on a show 30 years ago. Like how fragile and miserable do you have to be to get that riled up while trying to watch entertainment to relax.

I thought it was okay. A lot of the humor relies on awkward social situations being funny which is a hit or miss.

To me the issue with Seinfeld is Seinfeld himself. He’s just a very bad actor and he sticks out like a sore thumb with the other characters. Watching his deadpan face in every episode kills the mood for me.

I think sitcom hate has gone overboard. It became trendy and cool on sitcoms for some reason. I personally am okay with sitcoms if the characters are well written and the writers can write gags that naturally fit with their personalities.

Idk why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. The shows first few seasons were great because the humor felt original and the chemistry between the characters felt organic.

I felt like all of the characters declined. Chandler’s sarcasm became more and more forced. Ross getting divorced again and again got repetitive, I also didn’t like how they handled him having a kid. Joey’s character was lobotomized and he went from being a funny womanizer to being a child in an adult’s body. The girls stayed more consistent, but I felt like Phoebe’s shtick kind of wore off and became annoying. I also hate the ending.

I think the first half of friends is one of the best sitcom products that American TV has produced, but the second half is just mediocre.

I mean if you understand that they’re satire, then they can be funny.

That being said American dad past season 9 and Family Guy past season 7 have severely declined in quality to the point where they’re not funny to me anymore.

I hate these shitty posts with a burning passion. They got posted on here every other day to farm engagement from idiots who don’t even bother to question anything.

Both notions pushed here are just false dichotomies. Alison is pushing a flase dichotomy because there’s more choices than extreme right or left and she’s not being forced to choose. Qasim is also pushing a false dichotomy because his manichean framing is inherently wrong. His political team is not the embodiment of all that is good and his opposition is not the embodiment of all that is evil.

They’re both being disingenuous by intentionally reducing everything to black and white absolutes. Their intention is to segregate people into rigid camps and alienate people like me who see through the bullshit by pretending we’re siding with evil by not choosing to go along with them. It’s so obvious that they’re employing dishonesty to divide people in order to give them themselves an insulated audience that they can grift on. It’s beyond me how anybody can give people like the ones in the post even a silver of support, they don’t deserve it.

This is precisely how all the most evil people in history think: “if we can just kill all the people we don’t like, the world would be a better place”.
