TL;DW: Now that the Taliban actually has the responsibility of holding a country together, they’re no longer jihadist enough to satisfy the bloodlust of the other terrorist groups in the area, so they’re now being attacked as traitors to the cause. Even worse for the people of the nation, these groups have begun attacking other nations like Russia to force another incursion into Afghanistan to topple the Taliban and leave a power vacuum so the more extreme groups can take over.
If you took away the majority of the bacon this would be a really good breakfast 👍🏽
Not on lemmy.ml there isn’t!
I just use hyphens for everything.
I’m an older millennial and I have no idea who Cypress Hill is.
Since you’re getting blasted here, I just wanted to hop on the downvote train to let you know that I think you’re exactly right on all counts.
Like go ahead and argue for an end to misandristic violence if you’d like.
Nah, I’ll go ahead and argue for an end to all violent crime, and not exclude the victims who aren’t lucky enough to have their gender be the reason they were murdered.
I’ve never understood this prevalent idea that murder victims are only worth caring about if their gender played a role. Like, how horribly fucked-up is it to say that some murder victims are more worthy of concern than others, especially when those victims only comprise a small minority of murders?
Being killed because of your gender and being killed because you were in the wrong place or because you looked like an easy mark are all equally bad reasons to murder someone. They’re also all phenomena that could just as easily be addressed by government programs like in the OP, and yet all we ever hear about is the “violence against women” epidemic that only affects a minority of victims.
Plus, even if the numbers of women murdered for their gender is going up (which is obviously horrible and inexcusable), that number still has a long way to go before it even approaches the much higher number of men who are already being killed every year. Like, of course it’s a horrible thing that the number of murdered women is increasing, but I fail to see how that’s so much more important than the much higher number of men who are already being killed, but that nobody is doing anything about.
I mean, the reason for it is the same as it always is - men are seen as disposable by society and therefore issues affecting them are ignored - it just sucks to constantly be inundated with evidence of just how deeply ingrained this misandry is in our society.
This but unironically. Please, please stop demonizing men and actually think about them for once.
The incredibly tiny proportion of the population who are murderers, I’d assume (less than 1 out of every 10,000 people in the US per year if my math is right).
Both sets of victims are equally dead, of course, just with a much higher percentage of those dead victims being men, and a much smaller percentage of those dead victims being the ones stories like this always seem to focus on.
I betcha ten bucks the number of men violently killed in Australia so far this year is significantly higher, just like it is every year. Weird how I can never find any articles about that though.
Too late. I’ve already switched all four of my home PCs to Linux Mint.
Thanks!
It wasn’t a criticism - I was just curious if anyone had any more info.
Do we know when Mint 22 is coming yet other than just “summer '24”?
Lol can’t wait to see Jomboy’s video on this one.
Lots of badlinguistics in this thread.
You wouldn’t download a culture…
I’ve still been slowly working my way through Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the PSP. It’s hard as nails, but super chill and fun to take my time with. Highly recommended for fans of old school Monster Hunter, especially the ones who enjoy a bit of clunk in their gameplay.
Same. Sauce ruins good fries.
