I was under the impression not much had changed because a small minority used 3rd party apps tbh.

Twitter culture (depending on what parts of twitter you were on) was really hard to explain. Unless you used it and really knew how to, you don't really get the benefit from it. Its feed structure combine with post length and algorith meant that it was really easy for you to know what other people were saying about things going on right now (reality shows, football matches etc). It also made searching for news so easy (due to its Trending feature), so you were kept in the loop about things.

The meme culture of Twitter was also very unique. I can say with absolute confidence that Twitter memes were bomb (before Musk ruined it). Way better than any memes I'd come across on Reddit or Lemmy so far.

The only problem is you had to take Twitter in small doses. Stan culture and cyber-bullying culture were real negatives of Twitter. Certain people on that app were unhinged and that went unchecked because of how echo-chambers were set by the algorithm. You really had to check yoursel to make sure you weren't being corrupted, especially because cyber-bullying was so normalised there (at least in my experience).

I wonder what you think the motive behind colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade was.

I believe the post is referring to those who are both economically and socially liberal. The rainbow capitalists. They believe in equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community, black and brown people etc. but refuse to acknowledge, learn or put the work into how a system like neoliberal capitalism results in these groups being oppressed in the first place.

In order for equality to be achieved the system has to radically change. A lot of liberals don't want this because it makes them feel uncomfortable (and a lot of the time this conflicts with a system they benefit from).

indubitably based.

Your comment reads as if Israel continuing to starve Palestinians was absolutely unavoidable since 1947.

Yup. Common practive with anti-epileptics - some have worse implications for babies than others which is why those said others are used first.

We're fine at finding our way home because we only have to navivate an effectively 2d space (as we are on the ground). Imagine if we had to fly and so had to navigate 3 directions (height as well) whilst being intoxicated. We'd be fucked... is what I think OP is trying to say.

Nobody does racism like the Italians.

What about when/if the fediverse becomes mainstream? Sure, YOU wouldn't use threads but plenty of people will.

UK, early 20s, can and do drive manual.

The UK has a separate driving license for auto and manuals. If you pass your test with an automatic car, you get an automatic only license. If you pass eith a manual car you get a licence to drive both types, so most people decide to drive manual (although there is a slow increase of people getting auto only licenses). I prefer manual because they're more fun to drive in my opinion.

I am said demographic, I just happened to use RiF before it got axed.

my man

So you don't know what communism is since you mentioned it needing a state. I guess Nazi Germany is communist because of the "collectivist" goal of the Nazi party to improve the "motherland." Wtf am I saying, you probably actually believe that.

Exactly. It's not a "where do we draw the line" thing here, the line is already drawn as you allude to. It's not just CT scans as well, some actual medications need pregnancy tests or at least active contraception use. Roaccutane, methotrexate and other DMARDs etc - everything in medicine is a risk vs reward thing and I'm sure many patient would prefer not to be on a drug that messes up their fetus whether they're planning to keep it or not in the case they get pregnant. You'd rather just avoid the risk of that situation occuring altogether.

Nothing matters 😔

Seeing as this is useful for allergens, is this useful for atopy un general?

Me when I ignore the numerous amounts of right wing genocidal dictators installed by western capitalist governments in other countries in the name of capitalism (I am using Black Book of Communism rhetoric, a book that included stagnating birth rates and death of Nazi figures in war to inflate my figures as I have no other argument of substance).

Well that's not true because most memes on Twitter were made directly on the platform. Reddit memes were extremely dry in comparison to Twitter's.

It is okay if there is a non teratogenic alternative that treats the targeted disease. Why risk teratogenicity when you can altogether avoid it?

I'm gonna guess Alex

Collectivist =/= Communist, I am tired or arguing with Red Scare Americans who do not understand what Communism even is, nor understand the fact that a government that implements mass privatisation that the Nazis put in place is the exact opposite of communism. Fuck me.

What do you mean "right now"? Do you know how long Israel has been an oppresive apartheid state for?

Bipolar?
