White, Gen z men literally went 67% for Trump

The problem with this is that it cedes all conversations about personal responsibility to the bad actors. I have a very similar story to you in terms of being an ideal candidate for manoshpere recruitment but understanding that it is bullshit. So why didn't we fall into the trap? All these men have the same access to information. Many of them are actually quite privileged as well. What other area of society to we see an adult throwing a childlike tantrum and immediately turn to "well obviously society has failed them." Do we say that about "Karens" making a scene? Do we say that about athletes who get DUIs?

Honestly I don't feel like society has failed me at all. I think that's a very fragile cop out for very fragile assholes. To me it evokes the idea that men should be coddled as society reconciles the consequences of centuries of patriarchal injury. The same people who will be all "we've failed men" will turn right around and say that the homeless person is clearly there because they are lazy, or that black neighborhoods have higher crime because black people are naturally violent.

Mostly because it brought boomers into the Internet and they the proceeded to infest the rest of it.

This feels a lot like telling on yourself.

The same as it always has been. Punk Rock. Conservative shit is so goddamn cringe it's really hard to imagine how it has convinced anyone that it is any kind of counterculture.

Stop talking to them

Any med school student should know how to macguyver an airway in an emergency. They literally teach it in civilian lifesaving classes these days. My guess is this guy was such an asshole, his entire medical staff was like "bruh I am not making the hole, you do it."

It sounds like you want electrical and computer engineering which will take you from the stochastic representation of information as physical phenomenon all the way up to protocols and APId.

Nutomic said trans liberation is bourgeoisie pink washing. When pushed on it, actually by your instance admin, he basically avoided the topic and gave a half hearted "I'm sorry you're upset" style non-apology and went back to lying about where Lemmy donations go.

The literal server isn't the problem. The problem is the power tripping, transphobic assholes who run it. "Supporting Lemmy development" is directly paying those assholes, Nutomic and Dessalines, regardless of how much they want to obfuscate and mislead what actually happens to "Lemmy development" funds. It literally pays Dessalines to have the free time to make a hundred shitty mod actions per day.

Support piefed instead. It's fine for the Lemmy devs to have their opinions, but if they are going to be assholes about it then they can deal with the fallout. I've been around open source communities long enough to know that this quickly becomes a sunk cost fallacy, and the fediverse will be better off ripping off this bandaid as soon as possible.
