Good, I agree. And I still argue that the word 'privilege' isn't correct here. We want to call this 'double standard', 'unfairness', 'disadvantage', 'advantage', ... that's up to a debate. But I rest my case that this isn't a 'privilege'

To quote source of all truth - Google first page:

privilege

/ˈprɪv(ɪ)lɪdʒ/

a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

"education is a right, not a privilege"

How is that a 'privilege'? I don't know like you but for me the 'privilege' is something above normal, above standard, above majority. A king has a privilege of not paying taxes, everyone must pay them but not him, he has this privilege. A diplomat has a privileges that are above law, like they cannot get fine for speeding. We could say a kid whos parents are billionaires has a (hypothetical) privilige in life where they can get everything they want and family budget isn't affected. That is not normal and only few chosen ones have those privileges.

So back to my question - not being judged by the way you look is not something above normal. That is the standard, that should be a norm. I don't know how we want to call the situation in the post but that's not a privilege. At all. Rant over.

Oh sleep talking nonsense is the best! When I was in college my roommate wrote down what I said whe I was sleeping, it could be roughly translated like this:

"We have a crooked goat in our head that we can grab by the wall and then we can go fuck ourselves because we've had enough of it and that's it"

I couldn't make this shit up even if I tried ...

 

Where did you play with your friends? Where did you hang out? How did your day look like? I grew up in a small town in a small country and that's something that I always found mysterious and fascinating.

When I grew up we played soccer, hide and seek, hanging out next to a river. I was always wondering how a childhood in places like Manhattan looks like

I love Lemmy and I try to spread the info about it but almost always I face one issue - people being confused. For me (and probably you) it's hard to understand what's confusing about the way Lemmy works, I mean email works on the same principle and everyone's ok with it. It basically boils down to like 3 questions:

  • Why do I need to choose a server?
  • What is the server / instance? / Is server a subreddit?
  • Is Lemmy the same thing like Reddit?

So my idea: Could we put it as a FAQ on the join-lemmy.org? Feel free to submit best answers to these questions (I try to submit mine later when I have some time). Or come up with other frequent questions you heard

Source: birth rates in the US, from social security card applications. Provided by SSA.gov. For the age ranges, we make the assumption that all women lived to exactly 73 years old, which is the life expectancy for females at birth in 1960. Therefore, the population in each age range will not be entirely accurate, particularly for 69+, but it nonetheless shows the trends of birth rates and popularity of these names over time.
