Every conversation about the high incidence of SA experienced by women in our society devolves into whataboutism and scenarios where men were victims of false accusations or a bad divorce with accusations and the women being honest or discussing women’s trauma gets downvoted. I thought lemmy would be better but it’s really not

In order to protect students in school, students should be allowed to have guns. Obviously not all students, like not dweebs or DnD players, but popular kids like the QB.

You want unpopular? I'll give you unpopular. No-kill animal shelters are ultimately more harmful to animals than kill shelters.

Instead of euthanizing one violent or chronically ill or old or otherwise unadoptable animal, you spend your limited space and resources keeping it alive while you turn away a dozen perfectly healthy and well-behaved animals who could have been adopted but were instead let loose on the street or were euthanized elsewhere.

Even euthanizing otherwise adoptable animals is a net positive, because there are more companion animals in need of homes than there are homes willing and able to take them in.

As long as it's legal to make your animals make more animals, culling their populations will remain an ecological necessity. Which brings me to unpopular opinion #2: it should be straight up flat out illegal to own a pet that isn't spayed or neutered, no exceptions. I don't care if you think your munchkin cat's fucked up tiny legs are cute. The state should be able to seize your animals and have them fixed with or without your consent.

Democrats AND Republicans suck shit.

Tankies are as bad if not worse than the alt-right

Many Lemmy users' (understandable) hatred of AI seems to have stunted their abilities to keep up with AI advancements. Some of them even sound like they're at least a year behind.

This is probably fine for most of them (sometimes I envy that, tbh), but some of them might be setting themselves up to be blindsided.

BTW, for people who absolutely hate the idea of learning AI, but might have to: I get it. I did too. Maybe I can offer a weird perspective after being forced to cross over to the "dark side"...

The US should have compulsory military service, once the Dem Socialists are in charge.

No buying your way out, no exemptions unless you're in a vegetative state.

Everyone has to do it for 2 years.

It will build more generational solidarity than anyone realizes.

If the rich kid has to serve alongside the poor kids, maybe he'll get a sense of what real life is like, especially if he's the dude taking care of the toilets, or recycling milk containers.

That and making congress like jury duty, one 4 year term for everyone

This community doesn't contain any actual shitposts, it's just a crosspost target for the 10 other linked communities in the rules, which means it's just another c/memes clone.

I hate starting puzzles by doing the border first

Cowboy Bebop was just alright.

Of you listen to some of Hitlers speeches with the mindset of someone not already rich in early 1930's Germany with what they have been going through, what he is proposing and who he is blaming doesn't actually sound all that insane.

I think the whole unpopularopinion stuff is stale and a bit unnecessary. Some opinions are unpopular for a reason and don't really deserve a podium.

there should be a weight category/points system for vehicles on the road, for balance reasons. The lighter your vehicle the more heavy weapon slots you should be allowed to take so that you can punch up when returning fire while changing lanes
