Girl boring guy quirky.

The pre-modern era did not force a 40 hour work week on top of a commute, household chores and childcare to each person.

We might have far more creature comforts, but we are overall working more hours because we no longer come home with the place cleaned up, a hot meal ready, and kids taken care of thanks to unpaid spousal labor.

Everyone is working full time and the work of a stay at home parent on top of that, and with little to no community support.

The act of 'just buying something' involves a 15 minute drive somewhere and back because nothing is walkable anymore thanks to suburban sprawling and you can't do anything without spending time driving, parking, and walking endlessly in massive stores that are designed to make you get as little done in as much time as possible.

You all need to stop indulging in self righteous hate for licensed animal breeders. I get it, but your anger is misplaced.

Think about it for a second. If you banned licensed animal breeding, do you really think people will stop buying and producing pure bred animals?

If you think things are bad now, you should look at what animal breeding looks like before it was regulated. Banning it outright will only create a black market who's only incentive is to bred for grotesque traits with even less regard for animal welfare.

The majority of modern licensed breeders are working to undo decades of fucked up animal breeding by reintroducing healthy traits while preserving marketable ones. Not to mention breeders are necessary for producing dogs who can be trained as guide dogs and medical alert dogs.

The problem lies with people who shop and don't adopt. Don't blame licensed breeders for trying to temper the grotesque demands of animal shoppers. Whether or not you ban it, animal breeding will continue and it's only a matter of how much more animal abuse is involved.

Ah yes, everyone who didn't have the privilege of growing up with parents who actually care about their child's hobbies instead of busy verbally and physically abusing them or had the money to spare to buy a working used piano, which I have never personally seen at a thrift store, instead of skipping dinner for a week is obviously making excuses.

While we're at it, let's also pretend that being taught by youtube is the same as having a real instructor giving you feedback and on a real piano. I don't even know why we bother having schools or teachers anymore because after all, anything can be learned from the internet if you just pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Oh and don't forget you parents better afford to buy you a smartphone or else goodluck watching those tutorials.

Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

Before anyone asks, no, 'salt' doesn't refer to sodium chloride in this context but rather curing salt or sodium nitrite.

'Unprocessed ham' is just a consumer term for 'uncured ham', which ironically is still cured, just with sodium chloride and not sodium nitrite. But sure let's pretend every 'Ma'am' asking for nitrite-free ham is just a homeopathic dunce asking for the non-existent.

Make the term 'man' gender neutral and make 'maleman' the new word for male humans. Then we can have 'mailmaleman'.

Chinese speakers will have to differ.

I know it's not deliberate, but phrases like 'spineless pussies' are why women don't feel welcome on lemmy.

Is lemmy truly a left-leaning platform? Or is it yet another tech-bro circlejerk that cares more about the aesthetics of inclusivity? You all can't have your cake and it eat it too.

PSA: always check for your cat after starting the washing machine and dryer.

Don't search for 'cat washing machine'. The results are gut wrenching to read.

Every is talking about how the headrest it's made this way for crash safety when it's blatantly untrue.

The headrest is designed to protect the heads and neck of the average man, not woman. Decades of crash test dummies have all been modeled on the average height and weight of the male body. This is why women are 47% likelier to sustain a serious injury in a crash.

Think of the where the headrest is in the optimal position to protect the driver, and then move that a few inches lower. Adjustable headrest often doesn't even go low enough to accommodate for many women. There is an actual cutoff height where you are just screwed and expected to die more. Not to mention the user error of forgetting to adjust the headrest from the factory setting of accommodating to the average male height.

This is why so many people are curled up like a shrimp. They are either: short, a woman, or the statistically deadliest of all, both.

You're not getting old. The hate is real.

I've put countless hours into Rainbow 6 Siege, Escape from Tarkov, League of Legends, CoD Warzone, all back when my guy friends were still interested in these games. I loved these games to death, but some of the most vile shit ever said to me were said when I played alone.

When my friends and I moved on to other games, I wanted to play these on my own and just couldn't. Without them, I had to mute myself or get graphic rape and death threats. I went with it for a while and thought I could tough it out, but I couldn't. These days I just soloqueue league on a new account without a feminine name.

But yeah, I agree it's a breath of fresh air to play games without the hate.
