  • Right, and TikTok banned users it previously identified as being from the US rather than doing the IP-origin ban PornHub uses given they don't require an account nor app.

  • More than TikTok's US ban doesn't mean much given TikTok blocked user accounts who originate from the US regardless of VPN location

    Edited for clarity: given they TikTok blocked, users accounts

  • Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?

    DEI is diversity equity and inclusion. You know, inclusion of racial minorities, disabled people, and women in historically male dominated roles.

    Disneys board rejected enacting a Trump inspired policy of racism, sexism, and general bigotry.

  • "Secure" also has the meaning of taking something with great difficulty, not simply defending. It's a threat. All the rest is just using catastrophic/severe language to lure in followers to their cause.

  • To really put this to rest:

    Harakiri and Seppuku both literally mean abdomen/stomach cutting. Those who know some Japanese may recognize hara from the common phrase hara hetta which means you are hungry (literally, your stomach is decreasing in size or diminishing). Kiri means cut.

    腹: hara 切: kiri

    Seppuku simply reverses those kanji: 切腹

    Why are they pronounced differently? Harakiri is a native Japanese word, using more traditional Japanese pronunciation Seppuku is a borrowing of middle Chinese roots: setsu from Middle Chinese tset meaning to cut, and fuku from Middle Chinese pjuwk, related to modern Mandarin fūk, referring to your abdomen.

    So, setsufuku was shortened to seppuku where the Ps represent a stop and skipping of part of the word.

  • I want to offer that cars have always involved government corruption. The invention of jaywalking, the corrupt development of the highways for "national security" while simultaneously hampering development of real public transit, the wars started for fuel, the extrajudicial killings of people threatening the fossil fuel industry with electric cars (historically), political corruption is the life blood of cars.

  • Donald Trump to ‘kick all 15,000 transgender soldiers out of the US Army’

  • No. We have been allowed defacto since 2013 and officially since 2016, but have been in the military the whole time.

  • ..no? According to SPARTA over 76% of trans people in the military have been there for at least fifteen years

  • Bathroom Priorities

    Jump

  • My understanding is that there are gender neutral bathrooms throughout the capital, on top of the private bathrooms each rep has in their offices. This is still a disgrace.

    Sarah McBride is a very lukewarm centrist, she is not going to stand up for herself or anyone else unfortunately. She's a Zionist, so not exactly progressive.

    I also would use the women's room in defiance of these rules. But I expect her to stick to the neutral ones and toe the line because that is who she is. It's easy to expect all trans women to be woke leftists/socialists/anarchists or even communists. But we are just a bunch of people with a medical condition in common.

  • Uh, no, I'm a trans woman and I would never be willing to step foot into a men's room so I'm glad that despite this bigoted move she won't either.

  • Yeesh, I'm a trans woman and I would never want to step foot into a men's room, which is why I remarked that despite this bullshit she won't have to step into one, so good for her. I was not endorsing this horrible bigoted move.

  • Fortunately for her there are gender neutral bathrooms available so she won't have to

    Edit: I am a trans woman and would never be willing to step into a men's room. Leave it to Lemmy to interpret my original comment in such a backwards bad faith interpretation.

  • I know about Hexbear and wanted to mention that it was a Hexbear user but this ironically happened just a moment after I made my own Hexbear account. I know some of the users there are extreme, particularly that user, but the community overall I find worth it.

    That said I have to wonder what you mean when you say to avoid getting in trouble and to stay safe. Is there a history of people being harassed or harmed by those groups?

  • Yep, and it wouldn't be very far back in my history if you want to see it. My last comment in that convo started with "ugh". I was talking about transgender issues with someone who was extremely argumentative and kept strawmanning my beliefs so I told them in no uncertain terms that I was done with the conversation and blocked them. Later I decided to unblock them and discovered that they had replied not only to that final comment continuing to tell me I'm a bad person for their strawman interpretation of what I said, but to another comment I made in a different thread.

    So this person who is actively insulting me also has the ability to follow me around and continue insulting me, and blocking them just makes me unable to defend myself.

  • Actual functional user blocking. I don't want users being able to see my comments and reply to them when I have blocked them and I was totally surprised when they did.
