No.

This is kind of like asking a man being attacked by a bear, “When did bears become your whole thing?”

The land-value tax is the only fair tax, after all.

I don’t have to try, since here you’re claiming that hospitals in countries with brown-skinned people are substandard and unhygienic.

Not a myth, I’ve seen it.

And she was not one of the grossest humans alive, but just had some hangups about “down there” that kept her from washing her vulva well.

And then there are people who envision all brown-skinned people as performing FGM with a piece of broken glass in a grass hut, when in fact, most instances of it are also hospital-performed medical procedures.

It’s not controversial to say that women differ sexually, right? For example, some women can orgasm from penetration alone, and others need more-direct clitoral stimulation. Everybody knows this, or should know this.

Would it be controversial to claim that, hey, perhaps men differ, too? What if we’re not exaggerating how much of a difference it makes? There are intact men right here in this discussion who say that most of their sensation comes from their foreskin, and they don’t feel much from their glans. It would destroy their enjoyment of sex to cut it off, even while many men wouldn’t notice much change, because most of their sensation comes from the glans.

id rather bust fast than not be sensitive down there

For what it’s worth, my friend tells me that in his experience, intact men have better awareness and control of their level of stimulation, and therefore last longer.

Hmm, yes, I guess I forgot about anthropology’s Out of Africa (In a Minivan) hypothesis on the origin of the human species.

How do you organize an armed group that’s big enough to be effective without the fascists hearing about it in advance?

don’t face them alone

*pervasive surveillance state has entered the chat*

Simple: Kids can walk, too.

With all due respect, you’re telling on yourself.

No, we don’t forget that! What, you think we’re idiots? In fact, we are able to distinguish the difference between logistics vehicles and people moving about in individual vehicles. Those are two very different things. A dozen or so semis to the grocery store every day is a far sight different than thousands of cars.

Walkable cities around the world still have stores. And vehicles. It’s not that hard.

So, essentially the same as a company spokesperson!

Forget the spokesperson, just ask Google AI directly:

AI on Google Search, including the AI Overviews in search, does not provide summaries on topics involving Donald Trump and dementia. This is due to risk aversion, sensitivity to political topics, and recent legal challenges. Instead, these searches return a list of traditional web links.

Reasons for the lack of response

• Risk of misinformation: AI-generated conclusions about a public figure’s health could spread misinformation. The mental acuity of Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, the oldest presidents in U.S. history, is a topic of public discussion.
• Avoiding political sensitivity: AI models often have restrictions on sensitive or controversial topics to avoid biased responses. Google and other tech companies are cautious about how their AI products respond to election-related or partisan queries.
• Legal history with Trump: Google’s handling of Trump-related content may be influenced by recent legal and political issues. In 2025, Google paid a $24.5 million settlement in a lawsuit related to the suspension of Trump’s YouTube account.
• Inconsistent application of AI summaries: Some users report that searches about other politicians, like Barack Obama or Joe Biden, may return an AI-generated response, though this varies. This inconsistency has led to criticism that the AI applies selective censorship.

Google’s statement A Google spokesperson stated that AI Overview and AI Mode do not always show answers to all queries, especially sensitive or complex ones. The company suggests that users rely on traditional search results in such cases.

That was Herbert Kornfeld, in Accounts Reeceevable at Midstate Office Supply, a regular columnist for The Onion in the early years.

Remember who? I don’t know who Farley Burke is or was.

e: Oh, Charly. I misheard. I will gladly honor the sacrifice of Ensign Charly Burke.

Yeah, so what? This is the natural evolution of online communities. It’s a good thing. When the user base is small, we should have a few, non-specific channels/forums/communities/whatevers so that everybody is in the same place to talk to each other. Metaphorically, it’s like sustaining a nuclear reaction: The fissile material has to be in close enough proximity so that the radiation (posts and comments) can strike more fissile material (other users) to keep the chain reaction going. In the past, I’ve criticized the urge to immediately atomize Lemmy into thousands of highly-specific communities, and indeed, most of them have withered away.

Once a particular topic starts to dominate a community, once it’s reached critical mass, then it’s time to fork it off into its own community. I don’t think that’s happened to !asklemmy@lemmy.world yet.

Wealth inequality is in the inevitable outcome of a market system. It’s mathematically baked in. A tax system like this just makes it faster.
