I think part of it is that the plumbing doesn’t work quite as well as you get older (split stream, inconsistent stream, etc.). I know some millennial men who make the conscious choice to sit when they pee rather than stand. I think most of it is that boomer men have relied on a the labor of their moms and wives and never really learned to be anything but slobs.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many American leftists on here are actually trying to live the leftist values they proclaim to have?byChulk@lemmy.mlEnglish
28 daysThis makes me wonder… are these Americans even trying to live their self-proclaimed leftist values?
This just feels like a post that’s meant to brow-beat the left more than ask a question that’s in anyway answerable.
Like… are any of these people at least trying to fight fascism, or are they mostly just sitting scared at their computers?
Your framing is an assumption and immediately dives into what people should do (as if they’re not already).
I am not saying everyone needs to take up arms as an immediate first step to fight fascism, but there are SO many other things than can be done in your local community as a start. From planning mutual aid fundraisers, to volunteering with grassroots orgs, to forming neighborhood ICE watches to document kidnappings, to showing up to your municipal government meetings to try to stop the rise of state surveillance… Hell, even planning potlucks to share food and get to know like-minded people can be incredibly effective at offering opportunities for education and skill sharing.
Yes, people in my community are doing everything you describe here and more. People I know have been fighting for years and have suffered for it. I can’t speak for other communities, but I’m sure they are on the same page.
Selfhosted@lemmy.world•DigitalOcean contributes 3 million and joins the Omacom (Omarchy) FoundationbyChulk@lemmy.mlEnglish
2 monthsIsn’t Omarchy built on top of Arch Linux? I wonder what sort of effect it will have on Arch to have companies injecting millions into this downstream project?


I actually saw this last night while I was looking for another setting. Why would I ever want sonarr to download an executable, and why would they think I’d want it that way by default? It made me wonder if I was missing something.
