Yeah if people are paying for two screens and two screens are running, is that going to get a nag screen? My sister’s been locked out in the past when too many people were on Netflix at once but we’re in different time zones so usually it’s not an issue. Netflix has been getting thinner and thinner selection these…

“We’ve got two children. And we’ve had sexual intercourse twice”

There are plenty of bad professionals of any group. That friend sounds emotionally abusive. Abuse as “man hit woman” is the lazy definition of abuse. There are a lot of different patterns and kinds of abuse. There’s even abuse in same-sex relationships for both queer men, queer women, and probably queer…

But what would the equivalent be for a woman? No one talks about “defeminizing” a woman by embarrassing or insulting her. 

Yeah I think I mostly avoid that one now, but I had no idea it was related to Roma growing up. It was used in media so much and never related to them. But this seems more related to the trend of “edgy” insults that use offensive words

Exactly- Christian women covered their hair just like Muslim and Jewish women for a loooong time. It shows up a ton as an inaccuracy in historical costumes bc everyone wants medieval women to have long flowing hair but they had that shit up in a cap or under a hat for a long time. 

Yeah- for food processing I can often get away with chopping by hand and praying, but I’m basically unable to do a lot of baking recipes right now bc I don’t have a mixer and I have nowhere to put one. If I need to mix it continuously for an hour, I can’t make it

See I mostly just do the mandolin for anything that requires super thin cuts of vegetables. I got a chopper from mueller for cutting onions (I basically get blinded if I chop them without goggles and if I wear goggles it takes forever bc I can’t see) and that gets them really tiny really fast 

It’s really harmful- it’s so sad when the family on the news is the only one advocating for the victim. No one should feel tough for shooting and robbing old ladies or random taxi drivers who happen to be fathers of five or feel cool because you’ll protect the guys that hurt innocent people in the community. Like, why…

Sigh- that reminds me of what I think is the funniest line from Superfreak “When I get there she’s got incense, wine and candles/It’s such a freaky scene” I mean it probably refers to the threesome but incense, wine and candles are like the most vanilla thing I can imagine... though most people I’ve encountered just…

Yeah, I think our diversity is a strength here- we have a lot of people and we’re still a desirable place for immigrants who are going to help with our population loss. We’re going to keep getting a lot of climate refugees soon, so it’s probably good we’ll need more people. But we’re also going to have to come up with…

Not to mention the work force is separating into high skill jobs that are treated and compensated well which generally require a lot of education and monetary support to get and ‘low skill jobs’ that get treated and compensated terribly. So if you want your kids to have a good life, you have to have fewer children so…

Yeah- there’s a stigma on men for being ‘low libido’ *and* even worse there’s a stigma on men for openly discussing sexual abuse and trauma so a lot of guys hide it behind anger and passive aggression. Look at how many movies that feature guys who want to wait or not have sex for a while also feature female-on-male…

Wait, was that part of Candyman like based on a real thing? What the heck?!

Yeah the problem with walking off is that you risk it being played as a “diva” thing. There’s been several times where stars got upset and walked off and the news station played that walk off in every single teaser for the interview and hyped it up so people could watch their “meltdown”

At least gas stations are mostly chains so once it makes sense for them financially you’ll see a large amount of chargers suddenly appear along highways and heavy commuter areas. Like, I think I’ve seen at least one Wawa with a charger and it’s the sort of thing you’d think they’d be interested in since it works well,…

I think the bigger issue is how many chargers you have at one place. Often it’s 1-3 whereas it’s about 8-18ish gas pumps depending on the size of the station. If one or two pumps are busted, you just go to another. If even 1 charger is broken when it’s the only charger in 10 miles or 1 of only 3 that’s a major…

Heck, even incentives to gas stations and public-facing businesses to install for-pay chargers would at least help plug the gap. Just subsidizing buying the cars isn’t enough for non-West Coast city people, those in rural areas and renters.

Exactly- I’m surprised no one’s even designed a charger yet meant for street parking to sell to cities. A ton of cities have tight horse and buggy era roads that require street parking. The only way those customers can charge is if they regularly pay for a parking garage (which doesn’t even make sense for a lot of…

Or worse, apartment/rental house. A lot of people are renters and only a handful of luxury apartments offer chargers. I have the funds to buy a smaller EV outright in cash, but I’m not in a situation where homeowning makes sense yet and even the luxury apartment places in my area don’t offer chargers. You basically…
