  • I’d personally go with the meaning of the word native. Meaning natural to you; from the environment you were born into, the culture you were born into, the language your parents and family speak. So probably Cantonese. But that doesn’t mean it has to be your primary language or even something you are good at now that you have moved into a different culture and language.



  • A less specific demographic, which is a little ironic when referring to reddit. But lemmy is even more a subset of a subset of a subset of people than reddit is, and it gets a bit old at times.

    Politics everywhere, and most of it is just circlejerking over something trump is doing and everyone agreeing how terrible he / his supporters / his handlers / the broligarchs are. There isn’t much discourse to be had when everyone on here already agrees, and I don’t mean I miss right wing voices. Just that I don’t need to talk about politics with people who think virtually exactly the same as me about these things. And I’m also not an american.

    Then there is an annoying flood of trans content, which is great that it has its place here, but for the most part doesn’t interest me beyond a general sentiment of support for people to live their life how they wish. I want more diversity in my feed.

    Not in necessarily in opinions but in topics


  • Is see the point you’re trying to make, but it also ignores the reality that many, dare i say the vast majority, of women are less inclined to those physically demanding jobs that are “typically” male such as most blue collar work. The reason they don’t do that work as much isn’t just cultural, or patriarchal societal expectations.

    Most of them don’t want to, so the whole thought experiment of reversing the roles is a bit moot, even ignoring the obvious stupidity a society would display by deliberately using the physically weaker, reproductive bottleneck for the more demanding and dangerous tasks a civilization needs done.

    This is of course ignoring the fact that we aren’t just rational little colony ants doing only the thing we were biologically designed to do, and instead have free will and wishes and desires that don’t match the rational patterns, such as women working “male” jobs.

    Ultimately the only real solution in my opinion is making exoskeletons for all laborious jobs, then any man, woman and child can lift a truck on their own.
