Trump for High Crimes and Misdemeanors | U.S. Congressman Shri Thanedar122·6 days agoCan someone ELI5 what impeachment even achieves, and why it seemed to do nothing last time? Is it just a badge of dishonour?

Kacarott@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point in getting married?4·9 days agoI think the question is not questioning relationships, but asking why a marriage itself is worth anything.
You can have a lifelong partner without being married to them
Kacarott@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point in getting married?3·9 days agoSome of my friends got married, and it was just people dressing nicely and meeting at our favourite restaurant to eat a bunch of delicious food. It was awesome.

Exactly. In my opinion the best hope for the US is that the democrats fix their party in some amount via primaries, then win next election with a strong majority and immediately reform the electoral system to something better which allows for more parties.

Kacarott@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?61·20 days agoI was also taught this in school, along with many very unscientific things. When they eventually taught us about evolution (they had to because of national curriculum) they couldn’t stop stressing how it was “just an outdated theory” and showed us additional videos which “disproved” it
Militaries having guns is a very different thing to the general population having guns.
There have been quite a few studies that suggest the opposite. I strongly suggest the book “Human Kind” if you want some optimism, it investigates this topic.
If you think they would be the consequence of banning and removing guns from society, you can test this theory by looking at any country which has already done this. What you find is that gun violence is extremely minimal in these countries. So turns out your worries are over nothing!
I mean people have fun with many things which are dangerous. Fireworks are dangerous, rock climbing is dangerous, driving is dangerous.
I’m strongly anti-gun, but I’m willing to admit they are fun.

Well then this is a poor choice of meme template, which is probably why this post is turning out to be so divisive. This meme format is used to mock a series of increasingly ridiculous statements/beliefs/actions. Here, the final and therefore most ridiculous statement is simply “there is a male loneliness epidemic”. If the intention was not to mock this statement, and supposed to mock people who blame the epidemic for their problems, there are many ways it could have been worded to be clear about that, but currently it reads to me (and clearly many people) as direct mockery of male loneliness.
