  • Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

    Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

    Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.










  • I’m not sure what your experience was, but yeah it’s pretty damn left leaning. However Lemmy is on another level. I never heard of the expression tankie before, until I came to Lemmy. Now I see that label being thrown around all over the place.

    Im all about seizing the means of production for the proletariat and giving freedoms, equality, and justice to the working class and minorities, but people here are more about just transferring power to government bureaucrats and casting out anyone who isn’t some die hard communist that will parrot anything for the state.

    I don’t even really want to tell people to come to Lemmy because of how much of a bubble/circlejerk Lemmy is in half the time.









  • I’ll help ya out since I felt the same way and spent too much time on something I don’t really care about, though I do care for the person who was impacted.

    They are a tech YouTube channel that tests components for computers and the like.

    Basically, a former female employee (can’t remember her name) who was the social media manager, made a post of her tenure there, and it was horrible. Sexual harassment, belittled, ridiculous standards for work. At one point she felt she needed to gash herself and go to the ER, just so she can take a day off because she was ridiculed for taking a sick day previously. There is whole shit ton more. I’d link the post but sorry I’m a little lazy rn.

    The guy who is “de-friending” this Linus guy, is another YouTuber who does the same thing.

    This was a hyper TL;DR, and I’m missing other things, but that’s pretty much the jist of it.


  • I know this is an unpopular opinion, but that’s because a good amount of the time it’s true…

    Relationships are a lot of work, but shouldn’t be hard. If your relationship is getting so difficult that you feel the need to post your issues on the Internet to get advice from strangers, your relationship is more or less done and haven’t really noticed it yet.

    If it’s a one off issue that you need some outside help to see another perspective, than breaking up is probably not the solution; however, if it’s habitual then yeah breaking up is probably for the best.

    We tend to have loss aversion and get trapped in the sunken cost fallacy with relationships and can’t see that it needs to end.

    That said, giving advice for a bad relationship is like seeing a person who has an addiction problem. That person needs to realize what it is, and no amount of advice can help.
