Their comment history is literally just Fox News. Covers the full gamut from trans athletes to Hunter Biden conspiracies. I didn’t know these people existed on Lemmy

It was a quid pro quo with the Trump transition team. He gave them a big win and made Biden look ineffectual on the way out. Then Trump got into office and rewarded Bibi with a very very favourable outcome

The red flag was when Trump learned it was called the gaza strip and started talking about how it was a ‘beautiful’ piece of real estate

He was also cornered on this since Chrystia Freeland was so loud about Ottawa needing to take action

Except he’s staking the country’s future on being an ‘AI superpower’, so there’s no chance he does anything to piss off big tech

Disappointing but understandable since the reports are saying other government officials, including his foreign secretary had to step in. I’m sure the argument that his personal reputation or issues with Trump destroying the Colombian economy was compelling enough

It might be misleading to say they were the first out of Africa

I didn’t say they immediately arrived in Australia, a place they couldn’t possibly know existed. But it’s not disputable that Aboriginals were in the first wave of humanity to leave Africa.

They might have been able to walk due to lower sea levels at the time.

Yes, the sea levels were lower and they may have walked for some of their journey. But they did have to sail across the open ocean and did have to construct vessels that would allow them to do that. Let’s not denigrate the technological achievements of these people by saying they just walked it.

Homo sapiens (in this case aboriginals) hunted mega fauna to extinction

What’s really misleading is to just say they hunted the megafauna to extinction when they lived with them for 17,000 years. If you also compare that to the few hundred years it took for the American bison to almost be eradicated after Europeans arrived in North America, you’ll see that these people were still great stewards of the land. Even if, like all Homo Sapiens, they spell disaster for other species around them.

[…] Men in boats arrived on the edge of the known world to embark on that new experiment. And just like astronauts arriving on Mars those first settlers would be confronted with a different and strange world, full of danger, adventure and potential.

The aboriginal people were the first of Homo Sapiens to leave Africa. They used the rudimentary technology of the era to sail to Australia. When they landed in Australia the ecosystem was even more more dangerous than it is now. They had to survive alongside giant reptiles and other megafauna for 17,000 years. That’s in addition to everything else on that continent trying to kill you.

If anyone in Australia is a pioneering adventurer to be celebrated, it’s these people. Yet the colonialist mind is so brain dead that they’ll denigrate these people and their culture, while celebrating the arrival of a group of psychopathic plunderers who arrived at a land that was already settled by humans.

Came here to see discussions about the truly insane case mentioned in the article. Actually found an entire comment section full of ‘not all men’ vs ‘basically all men’ threads

The start of the headline lured me in for the biggest WTF moment I’ve had in ages. I’ll be sweating bullets the next time I see something about a former model/Miss-Wherever

I don’t know you but my advice is that you talk to a therapist before you condemn yourself to a life of unhappiness. What you’re thinking about yourself is not always objective, even if you think it is. Being self-critical is not the same as being realistic

Thing is, sex is not a privilege. If you - as someone in such a situation as OP - can’t accept that, you are in danger of growing… hateful views.

No one is entitled to sex, I agree. But in a relationship, you are allowed to make clear what your needs are and move on if those needs aren’t being met. It’s not entitlement to know what you want. Having a ‘dead bedroom’ is why a lot of relationships end.

I don’t want to become such a person, and it’s clear that it’s not their fault that they are not attracted to me. Realizing this helped me accept it.

If I may ask, was there any physical attraction between you two when you met?

I’m not denying that ace spectrum people have relationships and settle down as well. But OP is asking about the normative (read allosexual) experience and explicitly mentions physical attraction.

The vast majority of relationships will involve physical attraction and sex. It’s highly unusual for that to not be the case for allosexual people. That’s not a value judgement—if a minority of allo people find something else works for them, then that’s great. But if OP is asking if this is normal, then no it’s not. Even ‘less attractive’ people, as OP put it, find people they’re attracted to enough to enjoy a lifetime of intimacy and sex with.

Overcoming a lack of physical attraction is a pretty big barrier and I can’t see most people overcoming that barrier just to ‘settle down.’ Not being your physical ideal is one thing, most of us settle down with people who don’t look like models or actors, but finding someone physically unattractive is a tough sell in most cases.

If you don’t find someone physically attractive, how do you settle down with them? Do you just accept getting into bed with someone you’re physically repulsed by every night?

Amazing tagline. You should pitch this to their marketing team

Without access to the meme, this is going to be so confusing for people in the future
