I guess if you're standing on the deck of a naval vessel, it doesn't matter much what you're wearing

If the enemy thinks your ship is already sunk, they're less likely to try and sink it

I'm sure there's people out there that this is genuinely great advice for, but at least from my perspective, it just reads like an extremely long way to say almost nothing. "be out there and be confident" is like the most basic possible dating advice, ever, and is really only useful if you're completely off track on things. And to some extent, I feel like the article did itself a disservice by making it entirely gender neutral, because like it or not, society still tends to be highly gendered, and the problems people face in dating tend to be different along gendered lines.

I would hesitate to draw conclusions from something like that. Both me and a lot of the other men I know just flat out skipped basically every assignment like that if it didn't give enough points to be worth the effort, from middle school up through college.

Beyond that, it just seems like a shitty assignment as a whole. Because either a) it's done under an assumption that their day as the opposite sex would be spontaneous, and thus would have very few relevant differences from their normal days (and we can easily guess those differences) or b) it's done under an assumption of having always been the opposite sex, in which case it would just be an exercise in the butterfly effect, since huge amounts of things would be different, to the point that any generic hypothetical day would work.

All this is to say, it's a prime assignment for skipping

This video is over an hour long. At least hit a mild tl;dw, if nothing else.

Not even getting into substantive issues, the people who loudly proclaim their feminism online are usually total fucking jackasses since honest people see little need to hide behind the concept of "feminism", as if it's a shield against criticism.

Overall, a more substantive survey would just be better. Or really anything beyond "self ID with a broad and contentious label".

I mean it makes sense. Feminism has become quite the loaded term as of recent, and young people are going to be a lot more distanced from the earlier wages of feminism.

Looking back, I'm really glady middle and high schools made participation in extracurricular sports a requirement, even though I hated it at the time. Because even though I felt like the lazy slob compared to a lot of the people on other teams we played, once I got to college and beyond, especially considering I'm in a technical field, I realized that I was actually fairly athletic, relatively speaking, and had an inflated idea of what most people did.

Looking through that paper, it's not something to be held up as a particularly good source. I don't disagree with the conclusion, but it feels like it was written not necessarily with the intent to create this conclusion in particular, but definitely to create a conclusion that makes a good headline.

Because everywhere I look, it's just the same insane lies and mental gymnastics regurgitated straight from r/politics, with all the same refusal to even acknowledge the slightest of errors in anything they believe

Probably yes, but it's not going to seo very well since it's not very popular, and what popularity it does have is split among instances.

I don't have any experience with the lemmy api so if this isn't possible just ignore me, but could we get a way to view the modlog in app? Because of the way lemmy handles moderation, with no mod mail and no an messages, viewing the modlog can be pretty useful to see if another instance has you banned and you're just leaving comments in the void.

The problem is that it violates the reddit terms of service. Which is trivial for an individual user for whom the worst is just getting banned. But for an app that would be considered commercial, especially one that sees major successes as boost would, legal action from reddit is entirely possible.
