  • Oh, sure. But if that was the case, I would expect to see evidence of it cropping up throughout history, like we see with homosexuality and transsexuality. Maybe there is evidence and I’m just ignorant, but it hasn’t been pointed out to me if that’s the case.

  • Probably not, just because I don’t think I can really relate to that identity. If I’m being honest, I just don’t really understand it. It seems more like a cultural phenomenon to me than a real identity that is based on some biological reality, even if just in the brain. I’m not saying I don’t think a brain biology couldn’t produce something like that, but it seems much more likely to be the product of cultural factors than that to me.

    Addendum: Plus, I honestly find it hard to use gender neutral or gender-sex unaligned pronouns if the person still looks like their biological sex. I don’t think I’d want to deal with using gender neutral pronouns with a partner that looks female, and being straight, I probably wouldn't be attracted to an androgynous or male-looking person.

  • I saw it (and the ending movie) when I was a teenager in the 90’s. I found the movie to be one of the most depressing things I’d ever seen at the time, because…

    so many characters die in ways that essentially negate all the progress they’d made towards achieving their particular goals. Also, much of the series is basically watching 14-year-olds go through war trauma.

    Other than that, I really liked it. Since then, I’ve seen much better anime, but Evangelion is still great and a classic.

  • I have bad news for you: wasps.

  • People who do their own research but don’t cite professional research are idiots.

  • This is day 2,963 in my fight against the existential boredom….

  • ¿Por qué no los dos?

  • Yes, you can. Well, I should say it’s possible. Maybe not for everyone, but some people can do it. For example, I still appreciate and read Ender’s Game, even though Orson Scott Card is a homophobic prick—I just won’t buy a new copy of it, so I know I’m not giving him money.

  • UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES!

  • After Obama, it’s incredible how most white people have become extremely right-wing extremists

    That hasn’t been my anecdotal observation. Obama’s election definitely freaked out the existing White racists and motivated them to get more politically active, but I haven’t seen non-racist Whites suddenly become racist because a Black man finally got elected president. Where are you seeing this? Better yet, is there research or polling data documenting it?

  • It depends how you mean it. I prefer Imperial measurements because they’re what I’m used to but I honestly think the U.S. should join the rest of the world and use the Metric system.

  • If you use it for personal rather than commercial use, what’s the harm?

  • Do you not watch the news IRL? Pro-Palestinian protests have been in the headlines practically since the Hamas terrorist attacks on 10/7/23. I’m not sure how you’ve missed them.

  • Are you serious? That is some extraordinarily low effort. It’s like you didn’t even bother searching yourself before making this post.

  • most of the replies are harassing them for not picking a side.

    This is Lemmy; let’s not pretend there’s an actual choice of which side to pick to avoid harassment or even mod intervention.

  • Yeah, extremist, violent people like you are the problem, no matter which side you’re on. The fact that you’re happy to attack anyone who’s not as extreme as you are means you’re a threat to society and not a tolerant person at all. You’re just a different flavor of violet extremist, congratulations.

  • I have considered abandoning Lemmy multiple times. It’s a bit too chock full of far leftists who think it’s fine to do unprovoked violence to far right people under the “punch a Nazi” slogan. I find many of the hypocritical tendencies I fled on Reddit can be found here, just from a slightly different slice of the political spectrum.
