    How can I say they are flawed? I’m not an expert in politics. One side tells me they are correct, the other tells me not. If I took the time to research it then maybe I could understand and make my own opinion, but there are so many (imo) more interesting things to research than politics.

    But honestly, if you think relating opinions you disagree with is harmful, then perhaps you’re already too far gone. Everyone who truly believes my so-called “claims” are wrong should have no problem just ignoring them. Those who could actually be persuaded they are true do not know enough to make an informed decision about which side is correct, or if any is, anyway.

    This is insane. I have nothing agaisnt trans people, I don’t know where you got that idea. Then doing whatever they want to their bodies affects in no way whatsoever.

    This is a subject I know little about. On one hand there’s lemmy’s opinion, on the other there’s IRL’s opinion and they are very different. I did the exact same to them, brought them lemmy’s arguments. Unfortuntately they reacted the exact same as you, called me a woke socialist and moved on.

    I don’t know why you’d send me to r/conservative, I’m a leftist and will surely always be, though I’m sure not as extreme as you. It’s true though lemmy brought me closer to the right than I’ve ever been.

    When did I ever make a claim? The first sentence of my first comment was literally that this was what I heard, not that it was the truth.

    I myself don’t care enough about politics to really know what the situation is, hence why I did not state my opinion on the matter, but one thing I do know is that what lemmy seems to think is very different from what people actually think when you leave your basement.

    To quote Russell:

    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

    Lemmy, just like far-right forums, seems to be full of people sure of themselves.

    I’m not pushing anything, I’m relating the opinions of people around me. Why the fuck would you expect me to bring evidence for that? I don’t know shit about this issue, I’m telling you what I hear people say. Argue with them not me.

    What else do you expect? I’m not giving you a scientific paper here, I’m giving you a testimony. Ever heard of those? Mostly it’s the info I gathered over the christmas holidays from younger people who are still in school.

    It’s what I explained. Not that it is literally that, but that the way they talk about it can sometimes be seen as pushy. All I know is what my young family members tell me, this was not a thing when I was at school.




  • What you linked is very different. It’s something you write down but are expected to still remember later. If this helps you with your grocery list, then yes this is good, but if instead of actually using your memory you look at the list, that’s what’s bad. Writing itself is very good, it’s not having to recall it that’s not.

    In a test at school for example, handwritten notes does help memory, since you’re still expected to use your brain later to remember it, as opposed to reading the notes.

    Note that while I say it’s “bad”, it’s really just one factor among many. Just like everyone knows sugar is bad yet everyone consumes it to some extent. But the more of those “bad” things you avoid, the more likely you are to suffer from memory issues later.






  • From what I’ve heard, it wasn’t released, they were uploaded and it’s url kept private. Imo they probably did that to send it to a few highly ranked people so they could check if they agreed with the censorship before releasing them. However, the URL for those to-be-released files were easily guessed based on the pattern of the previously already public ones.
