    I think he got his mom’s color palettes mixed in with his derp.

    (Mostly older) People have been claiming they were a summer or autumn for decades.

    People working at Fox News are probably still taking/passing around Buzzfeed quizzes to find out which season they are

    I didn’t even know that was an option…

    I’m identifying as paprika. But smoked paprika, not that basic ass egg flavoring.

    I’ll probably be in the minority, since this is Lemmy after all, but how is this “news”?

    This is basically: reporter I hate said something I hate.

    Is this Jesse’s regular MO? Yes.

    Is Jesse garbage? Yes.

    Is this news? No.

      I was just telling my wife how the real news I post doesn’t get upvotes and that the clickbait-y half-assed news gets all the attention…

        It takes no time or effort whatsoever to form an opinion about post like this. So people can vote on it immediately. Whereas actual news is more often complex - and might take some time to read and process before the reader understands what it is about. They aren’t going to upvote it if they don’t know what it is about. And even then, there is a tendency to only vote things that trigger some kind of emotional response. Post that neutrally inform the reader generally don’t make people think “yes! Lets get more people to see this.”

        tl;dr clickbait works.

    I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I’ve known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!

    (And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)

      “I feel more masculine in the summertime. I wear more masculine clothing, I wear shorts. I normally have my hair up more and I just feel more ‘boy’, whereas in the winter – for some reason – girl mode comes out and I’m loving skirts and dresses and having my hair down.”

      This is from a video that the Fox story is about. Fox totally missed the point, I’m guessing intentionally so.

      But can we talk about that statement for a second? (I’m leftist af and I strongly believe trans people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, just like everybody else; this has nothing to do with that.) I’m having a hard time accepting this statement.

      I would obviously never support the misogynistic belief that women should (only) wear skirts/dresses. But as it turns out, the idea that dresses and long hair are inherently feminine (or that shorts and short hair are inherently masculine) also makes me uncomfortable. I recognize that a lot of people see it that way, but I don’t think that makes it right, or a belief that should continue to propagate.

      I’m a dude, and I hope to see a day where I can grow out my hair and wear a dress without people assuming it means anything about me beyond that I like dresses and long hair.

      (Please let me know if this is insensitive and I will remove my comment. I’m not interested in starting an unproductive or hateful discussion here)

        This sounds like a person who’s non-binary and trying to explain it to someone who isn’t.

        Unfortunately fox news doesn’t want to understand. They want to mock and bulky.

        Are you responding to me, or just the story in general? I basically agree with you entirely and don’t have much to add to what you just said.

        Well, except that long hair and long skirt-like clothing items were worn by men for hundreds of years; look at almost any painting from the middle ages lol

    Even taking it at face value, who cares?

    Kids do dumb shit. Always have, always will.

    If identifying as seasons gets the creative juices flowing or gives them a harmless source of entertainment, then more power to em.

    I hate how Fux News describes Greg Gutfeld as the leader in late night. I mean, there are probably enough psychos out there watching that network to drive up those numbers, but Gutfeld is the same shit Fox News gives you in the daytime, with a light coating of late night talk show trappings.

      I hate more how they describe him as a comedian.

      Smirking while you say something offensive or outrageous isn’t comedy, it’s just being an asshole.

    Probably stumbled on a makeup tutorial and got confused hearing someone being called an “Autumn” or “Winter” and ran with it.

    Why the fuck would people even have a problem with that? The lead poisoned generation which believes in jesus the crucified zombie telling everyone that THEY have a mental illness. I just wish conservatives would disappear.
