Does everyone eventually end up using the crabs bathroom?

I'm not referring to Ken Martin saying that.

The stated point was electability. Given the DNC's reaction to repeatedly being shown that pushing right has given them essentially 0 votes and they've double and tripled down on that strategy and have explicitly said they want to go after big dollar donations instead of small donors, seems like it's more ideological than electability.

Changing your mind on the vaccines means accepting that you basically murdered your child. I'd be much more surprised if someone in that position could have their mind changed...

Technically all estrogen users are steroid users (and so are people use certain medications for reducing inflammation). But I know what you mean. I know men needed estrogen for certain things like bone health, but that's cool high T can be balanced by higher E for some of its side effects.

If you use estrogen, it probably won't help with the type of gains people try to get from lifting, but other gains are possible.

Somehow they've been convinced that the lower/middle class pays taxes so migrants and other minorities can live like the people they elected and Republicans are the ones fighting to protect them from Democrats who want all their money.

There's some that are quite clearly different than most. hexbear is probably one of the most notorious. lemmy.ml, while commonly associated with hexbear, still has a clearly different vibe from hexbear.

But with regards to toleration of transphobia, there's certainly variation with regards to moderation, which means certain instances have much more widespread transphobia than others. Similarly differences exist with regards to other forms of bigotry, such as some instances tolerating pretty overt misogyny with regards to the bear vs man in a forest topic while others used it as a chance to ban a lot of people they didn't want in their communities. Some see their instances more like a small community to hang out with friends and others see their instance more as a public forum open to anyone.

Lemmy.world for some reason seems to both have a lot of ban-happy mods, regularly being mentioned in places like PTBs, yet somehow is also known for tolerating transphobia.

Apparently at least one person associates the instance I'm posting from with people who just want reddit (unsurprising given the name it would appeal to such) and the person claimed to assume I was being transphobic somehow because of the instance I was on (I think they missed a word like "not" or something that drastically changed the meaning).

Imo, blahaj has a lot more similar feel to reddit trans communities than a lot of the other trans communities on the fediverse.

I don't normally pay attention to what instance communities or posters are from, so I don't really have much direct opinion and more just see second-hand opinions.

Smooth like sharks? In all directions.

One time I was with some of my friend's family and his uncle spoke to me in Spanish, and I responded in English, but that was still enough to surprise my friend's cousins. That in a part of the US where like half the people speak Spanish, yet it somehow is that uncommon for white people to know even the basics of Spanish.

I know someone whose supervisor tells them to drive in circles are the warehouse, wasting money, for the cameras because higher up people also have nothing better to do than watch the cameras and pretend to be busy by complaining about the actual workers not pretending to be busy.
