Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I'm sure there's a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.
I was a non functioning alcoholic and ran with some rough types in my late teens/early 20s and have both kicked ass and had my ass kicked. Mostly drunken barfights....
Yeah, they're really handy. I work for a big company who deals with other big companies, it's often very helpful to get a specific contact person's info so a future request isn't filtered through layers of bureaucracy.
Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me to put a solar panel on the roof of electric cars to increase their action radius, so I figured there's probably one or more good reasons why they don't....
I've seen some prototype solar panels that roll up like a carpet for easy storage. Keep it in the trunk, lay it out when you're gonna be parked somewhere for a while.
I'd love to see the data on the "age 30 and up" because the people I interact with have the worldly knowledge and emotional maturity of a teenager far more often than not.
I suspect that data is out of date, from before the reddit exodus.
Edit: and perhaps women are keeping a low profile, but from casual observation I see more trans women than cis women on lemmy, which is insane when you think about the demographics involved.
Been almost a month, but I'll see her tomorrow night!
She's my ex, and we're still absolutely in love with each other and best friends to boot, we just have incompatibilities that make us impossible as a couple. I see her about once a month on average now. She moved 2 hours away.
In my experience, they tend to side with cops against minorities, but only to that extent. They tend to be the methy, gas-station-robber types who don't get on well with cops.
Not quite. White supremacists also overlap with the whole "rebel" and "rugged individualist" and "prepper" mindsets. Which are fundamentally incompatible with central authority in any way.
I guess you could really split white supremacists into two camps, the authoritarian and anti-authoritarian camps. You'll find a lot of the latter in prison gangs, and a lot of the former among the police. The two don't always get along, is my point. They both hate minorities, but they're otherwise quite different.
Not in the traditional sense of the word. Say Joe is a white supremacist. He's white and he's poor. He believes that all whites are better than all minorities. However, Joe is also not in power, because other white people are in power, and Joe doesn't like those other white people (though Joe prefers the powerful white people to any minorities). Joe will work with the powerful white people to keep minorities down, but otherwise his goals and believes are different than those of the powerful white people, and he resents them.
Southern prisons are full of people like Joe. Joe has some power in everyday life over minorities, due to the racist society he lives in and supports. But it's a big stretch to say Joe is in power. Cops, judges, and politicians are in power. Joe steals catalytic converters and sells meth.
You're wrong, but also combative, clearly don't care about the right answer and are looking for a fight
So, you know
Not worth my time
It's all academic anyway. Making sure you know about the different types of white supremacist is not really important. So if you want to fight, fight someone else about something else.
I'm saying you don't have the context to understand. I do, but you're not interested in listening, so whatever. It's not a critically important issue. But from these conversations I can see I'm the only one here who actually grew up surrounded by white supremacists. The rest of y'all only have second or third hand info.
But again, it's not a hill worth dying on so whatever.
I never encountered a trans person that wasn’t honest about it
I guess you're not on dating apps?
Happened to me a lot. For some reason, especially while I was on my way to meet them. "Hey, by the way, is it okay if I have a penis?*
Look, I'm sorry, I'm not attracted to penises. So far I've only had one attempt to say it's transphobic to not want to have sex with them, but even for the others it's really shitty to lead someone on like that.
It's absolutely happened to me. I also don't understand. Maybe the reasoning is, if they get me to invest enough time then maybe I'll suddenly be sexually attracted to penises? I don't know.
Were they actually being dishonest about it, or were they not disclosing it?
Kind of both? They didn't explicitly lie. They could pass, at least in photos (I never actually met any of them after this point). So it was more of a lie by omission.
And this was dating apps, so obviously it was a sexual/romantic situation.
I'm asking because as a light-skinned male, I always use the standard Simpsons yellow. I don't really see other light-skinned people using an emoji that matches their skin tone, but often do see people of color use them. Maybe white people don't naturally realize a need to be explicit with emoji skin-tone or perhaps it's seen as...
