Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] chuso@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

3 km sounds like too much to me. I don't think most people here would walk that far to do their shopping, especially in 30°C heat, mostly because we usually have small supermarkets all around.

I currently walk 500 m to my small neighbourhood supermarket when I just need to buy a few things and I don't recall ever living further away from some small supermaket. When I am running out of provisions, I take my car and go to a big hypermarket 7 km away. There are other hypermarkets closer by, even within walking distance (2.3 km), but that farther one is the one I like for doing a big shopping.

Of course, distance isn't the only factor. It's not the same 500 m in London or Amsterdam which are mostly flat than in the city where I live now, where the 500 m to my supermarket have gradients of up to 15 %.

Top reason trans people 'detransition' is transphobia, survey finds (www.thepinknews.com)
 

This is really not a new finding, but just consistent with what was already found by previous studies, but here we go:

The report found that 98 per cent of respondents that had socially and/or medically transitioned had significantly higher levels of happiness and satisfaction.

The researchers found reasons for detransition were due predominantly to transphobia and “challenges related to social acceptance”, such as not being accepted by friends or family for being trans.

“Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth at some point,” the report read.

“Only four per cent of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36 per cent.”

This is not new though. The EUPL have existed for almost two decades.

Isn't one of the main rationalist blogs named LessWrong? I mean, it's almost like the meme itself.

The article only mentions how to get the info from the desktop client, but it's also available on the website. Here's the direct link: https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend

[Potentially weekly thread] What European shows or movies have you watched this week? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] chuso@fedia.io 9 points 3 months ago

Shameless, one of my favourite shows ever, especially from season 3. And of course I am referring to the original British version from Channel 4, not that awful remake they made in the US later.

Also Inside no. 9, but as an anthology series, it varies a lot between episodes.

And Deezer is French. Both are listed outside the non-US owned circle but marked as options to boycott the US. The chart is wrong.

why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

If you have some time, some months ago I shared an article that I think explains that (and how that argument started decades ago with gay people and then moved to trans people now) in !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org: https://beehaw.org/post/12888662

It's shocking indeed but not really surprising. Volkswagen was founded under the nazi regime as a state-owned company by Hitler's initiative.

Russia fines party-goers for ‘looking too gay’ (www.telegraph.co.uk)
 

Crossposted from https://lemmy.world/post/23801022

Russia fined at least seven people for “looking too gay” after a police raid on a nightclub in Tula in February which videos show was carried out by men in military-style uniforms and helmets.

It comes as the Kremlin ramps up a push to promote “traditional values” that has included tightening anti-LGBT legislation and banning “propaganda promoting a child-free lifestyle”.

One man had “crosses of black tape glued to his nipples” and a “women’s style corset” on his “naked” body.

Another had “pink socks … an unbuttoned kimono over his shoulders, his hair dyed bright orange, and red tattoos on his face”.

“Although a man, he was wearing a short top covering his chest, black leather shorts above the knee, on which there were several chain-shaped ornaments, and fishnet tights,” read another description.

“The appearance of the detainees is inconsistent with the image of a man of traditional sexual orientation,” judges were reported to have said.
