Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What cultural programming have you overcome?

Andy Partridge and Paddy McAloon are two off the top of my head who are underrated that you can use for comparison.
Deleted. Somebody else already posted this one.
How dare you! Actually, not terrible ideas, but I would pin it to an age, not whether you have retired or not. Maybe 70 currently? As we live longer and people are healthier longer it may need to go up. Something to think about: the wealthier you are the less this affects you. You could pay to have someone else drive you anywhere at anytime, and, although it’s probably not legal, if you were rich and could afford it, you could probably find at least one person who would change their vote for you for some $$.
It sounds like you are making the argument that sexuality is nuture, not nature…I am not sure how I feel about that. I suppose it must be both to some and that there would definitely be significantly more gay, lesbian, bi, etc. folks if society didn’t socialize us to be hetero by default.
I agree. If you have not opted out for whatever reason, you get harvested. In a similar vein, euthanasia and assisted suicide should be legal for those with terminal illness or over a certain age.
Personally I am for staying on Daylight savings time permanently, rather than getting rid of it. But getting permanently off of it is preferably to the back and forth every year.
This. Along the same lines, I have to make myself little notes, using real stickies, computer stickies, and phone reminders I or will almost always forget to do or go to whatever it is I am trying not to forget.

233·2 months agoHe is like a spoiled child, just like his shitstain cabinet. I wish there were some way we could identify those who voted for him in 2016, 2020, or 2024 and tattoo an orange T on their foreheads so they could never go anywhere again without ridicule and harassment.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: Feminist Icon Gloria Steinem Was An Anti-Communist CIA Operative who Kept Feminism From Discussing ClassEnglish

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts?English
2·2 months agoI miss slashdot. My opinion is that if somebody was banned because of vote related chicanery, then their votes should disappear with them. If it didn’t have anything to do with votes, the votes should stay. Not sure if that’s feasible.

Technology@lemmy.world•Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.English
1·2 months agoI always thought “jury-rig” was a nautical term that fell out of use centuries ago and has only reappeared because some people who heard the phrase “jerry-rigged” and were not familiar with the word “jerry” thought they must have said “jury”. Meh, wouldn’t be the first time I didn’t know what I was talking about.

2·2 months agoDo comments around here get disappeared or hidden if they get enough downvotes? If not, then I could give two fucks whether a comment gets 1 downvote or 100.

When we finally start eating the rich, we will have readily available fires to cook them over.
