Calling it toxic masculinity isn't victim blaming. Men are victims to toxic masculinity every day and it isn't because they have a "toxic personality", it's because the "masculine" image and roles in society they are expected to uphold are toxic.

The opinions of "neo feminists" are not what is typically held true either. Very few people think that way.

I am a fucking insurance professional- educated and licensed -and I still can't make ends meet and pay off my student loans.

Tax the rich and enhance social programs. It's not about the job, it's about luck and generational wealth hoarding.

This is why I got a cheap Aeropress and milk frother. I pay enough for my latte, and the barista makes as much as I do, stop judging me for not tipping. I tip servers, not counter workers.

Lol people are toxic everywhere.

They "reassessed" my account and that's all the reason they gave.

As someone who has to pay back half of my COVID relief but so many rich people and corporations don't- I feel this deep in my black soul.

$7000 on top of my student loans👍

Did you maybe go to a physiotherapist? That doesn't sound at all like a chiropractor, especially the MRI and actual treatment part.

I am absolutely not willing to make any sacrifices. We deserve the four day work week. Full stop

I broke my ankle a few years back and the bones had to be surgically reattached, but the OR was full so they had to set and splint it in the meantime. The shot of fentanyl didn't do anything, so they gave a cocktail that knocked me right the fuck out and set my ankle. My husband said I shot straight up like I was in the Exorcist, yelled and swore a bunch and passed out again. I remember nothing, thankfully.

We got my husband some Helly Hansen boots the year before last and we noticed a hole in them last year. I am right pissed. If I'm dropping hundreds of dollars on boots, I expect to get my money's worth. What are your awesome boot suggestions to help me do just that?

Expressing our dislike is not the same as the karma system. My profile does not have a score that communities will use to discriminate against me and stifle my comments because I'm not popular enough. We should be able to express our dislike without having a giant thread of arguments over it.

My husband and I discuss this regularly. The loss of the social contract.

It is so sad to see so many people respond with "not my responsibility." Why isn't it? If you want to be a part of society then it is your responsibility. Part of being "civilized" is the strongest helping the weakest and most vulnerable. Our truest measure as humans is how we treat those who need the most.

Bringing other people up to a dignified level increases your value, not decreases. It doesn't take away from you to let others have dignity and respect.

You are not. Politics should be world politics and countries can have their specified version like "US Politics" or whatever.

I am still learning this whole thing and I ended up creating accounts here and on Mastodon. Is that necessary or do I automatically have a Mastodon username with my Lemmy? I used the same stuff on both accounts, can I merge them or something?

Edit: thanks everyone, I can't respond to each comment while I'm at work, but I appreciate every one of you!
