  • Nothing is more delicious to conservatives than a small, powerless group who do not fit into the so-called social norms to attack as a scapegoat. Perfect for distracting their supporters from all of the fuckery and wanton neglect that conservative parties pursue, and perfect for whipping up emotional fervour in the mind of those who cling to conservatism out of fear of difference.

    Other groups & causes which conservatives tend to target may willing to jettison the needs of a tiny group for their own ends if they can get their own ends met, and fracturing solidarity is incredibly useful, if not essential, to conservative goals.

    As such, people who are seeking treatment for gender dysphoria are the perfect target for the GOP to rail against.










  • The edge of the bed?

    Otherwise, them fancy padded ones are the only type narrow enough for jackets unless I use children’s hangers.

    The kind with clips on a bar are great for trousers/shirts & ideally the kind where the bar can swing out & with soft lining on the clips.

    Prefer if the head (or hook bit?) swivels, but wire hangers are easy to bend & have other uses so I like to keep some to hand. They can also be bent to fit my jackets & padded with old cloths if necessary.











  • Posting links to articles which have attracted a lot of discussion on Reddit might be a good idea, as one of the things it was great for besides the niche subreddits, was the news aggregation. Grabbing those links would save a lot of work rummaging around for them or writing bots to grab stuff from different publications.

    Cross-posting other types of post just seems a bit… weird and clumsy, and I don’t know that using such a technique to try to speed up the development of discussion on kbin/lemmy would be the best approach for building a robust & lively culture over here, tempting as it must be.

    Personally found it diminished Reddit and many regular media outlets, that so many thought it fit to post screenshots of Twitter comments.
