For this community yes, but I think the over-dramatising works against the wider acceptance of DEI practices. Most people have never even had an article written about them, those people still have personhood, so does this lady. From that perspective it comes off as entitled and decoupled from reality. Who wants to listen to someone acting unhinged on social media?

Obviously, removing the section is wrong, and we should have these articles to highlight the achievements of women in male dominated fields. Plus highlighting that it's been removed by the vile actions of the trump administration is important

I think for the"normal" people who aren't frothing at the mouth racists, it's specifically about the HR enforced corporate perversion of diversity, equity and inclusion that they hate. Patronising lecturers and dehumanising metrics often leave a sour taste in peoples mouths, even if the cause is a good one

Nature is oppressive, so are billionaires. Working together helps overcome that, both when combatting nature and the asset class

The article is basically saying early human ancestors were vegan, but humans did so well in part due to the dietary shift towards eating meat.

This article is pretty anti-vegan if you even read half of it, and I'm unsure why it's so heavily upvoted

Life isn't black and white, neither are people. The people in this thread aren't disagreeing with your beliefs and condone genocide as much as you do. But you're not being charitable in your interpretations and are immediately meeting them with hostility.

The more hostile you are, the more people get their guards up, and the more you drive them away from your cause

It's not the content of your comments, it's the way they're worded. You speak with an aggressive and accusatory tone that isn't conducive to discussion.

If you just word things a little softer, I'm sure you'll have many people agree with you, and avoid any future bans.

I know things can get heated and emotional, and it gets to all of us at times. It takes effort and self reflection to avoid getting unnecessarily worked up

I know it's subjective, and not denying your experience. But for other readers, the og Linkbuds are hands down the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, without exception. I sometimes even forget I'm wearing them.

Obviously your mileage may vary, but if they sound like they might be your thing, it's worth giving them a go, especially with the crazy low sales atm

This is the pick yourself up by your bootstraps version of raising a child. You can't seriously expect a 12 year old to have enough wisdom and initiative to do this? Why do we have this unrealistic expectation that men are super capable and just choose to be failures? It's the same system that fails everybody else, that's also failing them

That reply is pretty measured considering the topic of women's preferences was already set. They weren't going out of their way to hate on women.

People can be pretty shallow creatures, men and women alike. So obviously, whilst money or beauty is not the be all and end all, it allows people to make a better first impression and pass some initial filters. Denying that is just deluding yourself.

Obviously there are always going to be exceptions, some people are actively repulsed by wealth or the current beauty standards

I think there's a line where it crosses over. Being "in shape" definitely makes you more attractive to women. Being anything above that definitely appeals more to men, and for many women even makes you less attractive

I don't think you've missed anything. Reptiles are particularly good for mobile zoos as many don't stress easily and don't require (or in some cases actively hate) large enclosures. Tegus, Monitors, and more intelligent lizards actually seem to enjoy, or at least show interest in, people and new places.

As long as the keeper is responsible and takes good care of the animals I don't know what exactly the problem is
