Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Jordan Peterson wrote a rather interesting essay earlier this year about the situation in the UK:
https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/blog/theyre-not-rape-gangs/
I wouldn't consider anything Peterson has to say about anything.
Yeah, fuck that guy though. He's a grifting charlatan who played a direct role in this topic of discussion here by helping upend civil discourse with disingenuous sophistry. Also he's a degenerate drug addict who doesn't follow his own rules, since he just stole really common advice and pawned it off as revolutionary ideas. You mom told you to clean your fucking room for years and you ignored her, but some failed philosphy prof gets to be daddy for you because he work a funny suit and larped as and edgy joker boi? Pathetic. If that stings cause it's close to home as well as an accurate read on lobster king, fuck you too.
He writes like he has just discovered a thesaurus and would like you to know he is verbose. His writing is convoluted and grandiloquent, and often wilfully ambiguous. Its difficult to tell if he has a point, much like George Galloway. I think he thinks a grandiose tone is what is most important.
So do I. But I'm uneducated pleb and need the edge. He's a legitimate PhD and could dispense with the verbosity and still be taken seriously. If it weren't for the distinct lack of anything of substance to say that isn't just more garbled attempts at clinging to the coattails of a fascist movement.
Reactionary brain rot from a man who rotted his own brain with drugs and a medically induced coma because he was too dumb to take his doctor's advice.
Peterson is an idiot's idea of a smart man. He's even more of a dipshit than he was a decade ago, and that's really saying something.
Take your racist drivel somewhere else.
I’ll be sure to read
