. The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter
. It is possible to wear yoga pants because there comfy
. You don’t need to shower everyday
. It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans
. Monty Python is very overrated
Ok, I don’t like making generalizations, but let’s play the game:
-
Dynamically typed programming languages are for babies.
-
Having depression is not being sad. Having anxiety is not being nervous. Mental health exists and it’s very complex.
-
We should start trating unhealthy use of social media as an actual addiction, and the platforms should be held accountable for the damage they have and still are causing.
-
Sometimes older people have actual knowledge and wisdom that is only gained by experiencing life, and younger people shuld learn to shut the fuck up some times and stop pretending they were born knowing everything.
-
People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.
- No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
- Static typing sucks.
- Mental illness or/and a disability aren’t excuses for shitty/abusive behavior.
- No, having certain skintones doesn’t magically make you immune to skin cancer, wear your fucking sunscreen.
- Boiled eggs > fried eggs.
- If people need it to survive, then it should be free.
- Littering should be punishable with jail time.
Not shower every day depends very much on the situation.
In summer there are certain coworkers who most fuckingly definitely should shower every day unless I’m allowed more wfh.
Python sucks.
Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don’t provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you’re basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn’t even a halfway decent documentation.
There shouldn’t be borders.
People without empathy shouldn’t have the right to lead people (politics, work, …).
There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.
Russia should be denuclearised and split up.
The red nub on IBM/Lenovo laptops is far superior to a touchpad
Being vegan is a moral base line.
Don’t say “acronym” when you mean “abbreviation”!
“Acronym” specifically refers to an initialism that forms a new word. For example,
- scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus)
- NASA (pronounced like a word - you don’t say “ehn eh ess eh”).
It’s acro- (height) -nym (word) - a word that exists on top of / above other words.
In contrast “NIH” is not an acronym because it isn’t pronounced or read as a word. It’s appropriate to say, “‘NIH’ is an abbreviation” or “‘NIH’ is an initialism”. But saying “‘NIH’ is an acronym” is wrong!
Using “themselves” for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.
It’s “themself.” (Unless they’re plural.)
Also, “Latinx” is performative white ally cringe. It’s not pronounceable in Spanish. Use “Latine.” -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.
Data is pronounced data and not data.
People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.
Daylight savings time needs to be gotten rid of.
The imperial measurement standard needs to be gotten rid of.
The UN security council veto should be able to be overridden by the general assembly.
Collective responsibility for a democracy’s crimes should be a thing.
The country of Israel should be moved to an open area of land with no people on it. Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, or the jungles of South America.
There should be a corporate death penalty when they commit crimes.
All kids should have food.
All humans should have access to very basic water and food. Like beans and rice for everyone, no exceptions.
Basic sanitation is a human right.
Religion should not be respected any more than any other bag of philosophical ideas. Stupid parts of religions should be called out and discussed, not hallowed and treated with respect even if its utter nonsense.
