World News@lemmy.world•Shein accused of selling childlike sex dolls in FranceEnglish
2·1 month agoChild sexual abuse has the same elements of rape, in fact some people who have raped children choose the victim not because of sexual attraction, but because the child was an ideal victim. Rape isn’t sex. Child sexual abuse may be about sexual attraction to a degree, but people who go that route aren’t doing so out of horny feelings. Abusers can spend years gaining access to victims, confusing rape and abuse with normal sexual desire is a common mistake, and a big part of excusing rape. Abusers and potential abusers don’t stop because they can act out their desire alone or view related images, but it’s shown repeatedly that therapy is effective.

107·1 month agoThe danger is in sexualizing children, it’s not a normally occurring part of human sexuality, and if people can sexualize children easily that can lead to sexual abuse of actual children, and that’s always harmful, seems like a 2=2 type of thing to say, but it is. Anyway, modern psychology shows that therapy for people who do sexualize children, who haven’t actually abused any children in any way, are unlikely to ever abuse children, so the doll or child sex abuse images, or other ‘outlets’ of sexual behavior aren’t shown to reduce the likelihood of sexual abuse, but therapy does. They don’t need sex dolls, they need therapy. And then maybe a healthy sex life with an adult.

0·1 month agoHay hay! Corporate whistleblowers often just die. Of reason.
Sounds like someone didn’t learn the 80/20 ratio
I’ve been sleeping on a blanket for a while now, come to think of it…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If a Great Depression happened again, would people still stand together like they did during the penny auctions?
0·1 month agoWe’ve had worse depressions already. In 08 entire neighborhoods in Reno were totally abandoned, the whole economy seemed to be house construction and repair. At night whole neighborhoods would vanish, not a single light turning on. I knew guys in construction that suddenly couldn’t get work and went around in crews and stripped foreclosed houses of materials to resell or use on lowball job bids, I knew a pretty well off contractor with an adult disabled son who turned to pushing pyramid schemes to try and stay alive basically. I ended up living in an abandoned house for months looking for work. Between the dot Com crash and the housing market bubble my family went from poor to middle class to hoping to survive winter. I remember my dad telling me in an interview they asked him why he changed careers twice and him just laughing like ‘‘you haven’t been in town long then’’ boom and bust. That’s been the nature of things. I still have health problems from getting pneumonia that year when I was basically homeless, I had a friend drag me to a clinic to get penicillin, the doctor had me wait around a few hours so he could have multiple med students come examine me, he had never seen anyone with that advanced of a case in his whole career. And I’m lucky, I know multiple people in their 20s like me at the time that died that winter because they refused to go to the hospital. They knew they couldn’t pay and didn’t want collections. I ended up getting a medical debt bankruptcy a few years later. You live through this and on the news they say things like ‘‘economic recession’’ and ‘‘down turn’’ maybe ‘‘soft raise in unemployment’’ like they guys who used to sign my paychecks were calling me asking if I heard about any work, standing next to me in the clinic line with sunken eyes.
I will say, at that time people were very open handed, you never needed to call someone to help you get your car out of the road, people would jump out and push you to the side, even put some gas in your tank to get home, I used to drive around with gas cans and a tow line especially in the snow, I used to have sand bags too, people would bend over backwards in a second when they saw your situation, it was a time of a lot of social closeness. And no one ever asked in you had a damm job. My god. No one ever said that shit. ‘‘Get a job?’’ Someone might shoot you for that.
No. he just translated it into treebeard for localization for English speakers. educate yourself.
Because in the US you have to have a legislature willing to impeach the president. and the legislature is currently being controlled by Trump’s party. also the courts. he has 100% control of the government and he’s doing whatever he wants. the only thing that could stop him now is a revolution.
I relate a lot to this assassin.

It’s replacing real action in place of a good feeling. It’s THE plan to not do anything effective.

They look at related and similarly adapted modern animals when trying to make visualizations of fossils, it’s not all just guessing.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Apparently Poland started shooting down drones that violate their airspace
1·3 months agoPutin is entirely gone if he thinks he can dare to sneeze in Poland’s direction. They have made this VERY clear.
One trump is gone it’s all over. They have a very tenuous grasp on a cult. It’s not going well for them. Everytime someone tried to coop it, it totally fails and when Trump tries to change the narrative, it fails. It’s been falling apart a lot longer than it’s worked. Once he’s in the ground, it’s over.
I mean… I prefer a slender alluring gentleman…
