Excellent post in general, but it should be noted that the meaning of “wine-dark sea” is still very much disputed.

Not on lemmy.ml there isn’t!
Qualcomm really does want to become Intel.
Just bought $50 of merch off their website – this is the sort of journalism we should all be supporting.
Dassinteresting!
Same. As much as I love Domino’s, if we’re going out, we’re definitely going to a proper pizzeria.
Domino’s pan, double cheese, light sauce, extra pepperoni. I’ve tried deep dish in Chicago, New York style in New York, traditional pizzerias in Italy, and countless overpriced “craft” places from all over North America, and nothing I’ve tried even comes close.
Case in point.
“Does anyone else… (have trouble finishing video games/use their toenail clippings to add texture to a pot of chili/etc.)?”
Upvoted for the appropriate Salt and Sanctuary reference.
TIL tortellini is a sandwich.
This is a great resource! Thanks for your effort!

An excellent choice.
Probably a-ha’s “Take On Me” if I’m being honest.
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.
For anyone else who was unfamiliar, the GPI is the “Global Peace Index”, and it has literally nothing to do with this conversation - it’s just the first metric TechNerdWizard42 could pull out of their ass where the US is ranked low.
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.
Since you’re being shit on in this thread, I just wanted to thank you for being so thorough and objective in your responses here, and for your links to sources. We need more people like you on Lemmy.
