None. I’m pretty lax about blocking people and haven’t yet encountered anyone worth blocking.

I haven’t blocked any communities or instances since the instance I created my account on has defederated from lemmy.world and .ca. I’ve considered blocking sh.itjust.works but I’ve successfully avoided them so far.

Oh, we have found many ways to adapt to a world that frequently wants to harm us. I have, like, half a dozen trusted friends on speed dial just in case. I didn’t mention this in the post but I was about to call one of them until he started calling after me first.

This is an absolutely terrible country that rivals America in terms of racism and sexism and I am looking to leave asap.

Thank you. It’s genuinely horrible what people have to go through. I wish I could carry some kind of weapon but literally any form of self defence is illegal where I live, if I fight back then I am just as guilty. And then people wonder why crime rates against women are going up.

I’ll be honest just talking about it and having people listen is more help than I could ask for, thank you.

I mentioned this in another comment but my country is horrible when it comes to stuff like this. Self defence isn’t even legal. Welcome to Biscuit Island.

Nope, pepper spray is illegal where I live along with basically any other form of self defence.

I didn’t, the family member is fairly old and kind of paranoid so I knew this would freak them out. As I said the person following me didn’t see which house I went to and I’m not planning on doing these late night walks again (or even going out in the area alone again no matter the time really) so I seriously doubt anything else is going to happen.

Thank you. I definitely won’t be going out that late anymore especially not in that area. I agree that he almost 100% had worse motives. I’ve been harassed in public before but my fight or flight response has never kicked in like it did last night, it was honestly scary.

I’m not sure reporting the incident to the police would do anything though, I live in one of the worst countries for violence against women, cases of police officers assaulting women and getting let off with a slap on the wrist are far too common and the government refuses to legalise any kind of self-defence item.

Fuck Israel and America

If the democrats lose it will be because their entire campaign is “we are not Trump, also if we lose the election it’s Russia’s fault”

Dem mental gymnastics are going into overdrive rn

I live in a country with a monarchy, we are conditioned from a young age to respect them through both school and the media. It is instilled from childhood and habits that are so longlasting are incredibly hard to break. Even though I started to move towards leftism as a teen it still took me another good few years to properly realise how fucked the monarchy was.

He looked genuinely terrible in the photo of him that was released yesterday. If you told me that was a dead body I’d believe you.

When I say that the violin industry is the “worst” for animal products it means that the most violin manufacturers use them compared to the other instrument types

Fuck the Biscuit Empire.

I’m convinced half of the bird names were coined by Beavis and Butthead anyway

It still seems pretty stupid to most of us. It’s still common knowledge that knowing someone’s IP is meaningless, it’s mostly kids and the technologically inept who don’t understand this in my experience.

I’m a leftist but I think insert fascist opinion here

I remember in the final Harry Potter book, after Voldemort is defeated Peeves (the ghost thing) sings a song about how Voldy has “gone moldy.” Yet another thing he and Joanne have in common these days.

Country known for foreign interventions and overthrowing heads of state is going to overthrow a head of state. Big shock.
