    It won’t let me copy/paste the list out of this boost app. As you come across content, keep adding words that are specific to USA (e.g. Trump, POTUS, senator, constitution, NBA, superbowl), don’t add words that are likely to catch other content from other parts of the world (e.g. president, democrat). Communities should be self-evident that are focussed on American content.

    I refuse to use any social media app or news app that doesnt have a blocklist. I’d recommend Boost for a Lemmy app and Pluma for an RSS news app.

    I probably see more American content than I am putting across, but with training my brain to skip/ignore American content, I’m not too bothered by what I see now.

    I would also recommend blocking other things you might fond repetitive or annoying (I don’t want endless content about Israel, Ukraine, police brutality, Apple products, etc) and I block all of this stuff too. Lemmy has enough content now to still show plenty of posts with all that blocked. You just need to be sure to browse “all”.

    Context and culture and expectations. I agree with your point, but there isn’t a logical/sensible answer to these things.

    I’m a man and I don’t think it would be acceptable for me to wear a Speedo swimsuit or have my bum exposed the way some thong bikini bottoms do. Communities, societies and cultures dictate what’s acceptable in an unsaid way. It is what it is.

    Some commenters in this thread are reacting in a pointed way because questions like yours seem to imply that there should be a judgement of control of what women can/cannot do. People can do what they want, but it’s also OK to think about the absurdity of society’s rules…like why some women with a certain body shape can wear bikinis but others get disgusted looks. Or why it is so socially unacceptable to wear the Borat mankini. Or taking it further: why is full nudity so unacceptable and offensive? My answer is: there is no logical answer and this is what the societal collective seem to have agreed.

    Helps for a little while. But if you still get drowsy when chewing, then your best bet is to park the car, drink a large serving of caffeine and set an alarm for 6 min and go to sleep. You just need to nod off to actually sleep for a couple of min. When you wake up with the alarm, that feeling of being unable to keep eyes open will be gone. The caffeine will start to kick in after 20 to 30 min and you can keep going much more safely. This adds 10 to 15 min to your journey in total.

    Obviously depends on your situation. If you’ve not slept at all the previous night and still have 6 hours of driving to go, then accept that you’re fucked and get a room. Save your life and others.
