I think she had some art on the sides - you ever see those white vans/chucks/Nikes with stuff drawn on them? I forget what it was, but it looked nice and looked like a labor of love.

I’m sorry that you’ve had experiences that led you to this conclusion :( that’s a lot of bullshit that nobody should go through. You’re a person with your own very valid emotions that should be expressed, not an idea of someone’s “man” that they’ve built up in their heads. Fuck the ones that try to force you into their template.
I don’t have a very diverse dating experience. I’ve only had a handful of relationships but they were all with decent people, and I’m still friends with all of them - in fact one of them was my best ma’am at my wedding.
The good ones are out there - don’t settle for less and I wish you the best of luck in meeting them.

Fuck those people who expect you to have no emotions. Red relationship flag if I ever saw one - they didn’t think of you as a person, just an idea.
One of the most impactful things my wife said to me was “it’s okay to not be okay”.
Classic library meat cleaver!
You’re going to make me blush!
As a dude I still do throw out the compliment - I just make sure to say it as I leave so it’s clear there are no strings attached. “I really like what you did with your shoes - have a good one!”
As a guy I feel like I typically don’t get non-flirty compliments from gals, and I understand that it’s probably because there’s the worry of misunderstanding intent.
That said, one time a few years ago a gal mentioned she liked my boots as she walked past and I’m still riding that high, lol. If it helps make people happier I’m not going to shy away from complimenting them :)
Woman, not girl. I’m an adult and expect to be treated as such.
Interesting, cuz I’m interpreting that first sentence to mean how she’d like to be referred to, due to the second sentence referring to herself. Also note the singular “woman” and “girl”, not plural “women” and “girls”. Based on that it’s pretty clear she’s referring to an individual and not all womankind.
Am I missing something where she claims to speak for all womankind?
This is only one small piece of the puzzle, but it’s fairly common to have trouble finding a place to rent if you’re a foreigner, specifically because you’re a foreigner.
as long as you don’t have bad intentions it’s all good
Generally speaking, this is a problematic way of justifying your actions.
It’s all good if you have no bad intentions as long as you apologize when called out.
Good intentions do not give you a free pass, however they do help others understand where you’re coming from if you bring them up when apologizing.
“My bad, I didn’t know about that, growing up it was always okay to do XYZ”
“Sorry I made it more stressful for you, I thought I was helping”
hits very different from
“This is ridiculous, I had good intentions and you’re still upset 🙄”
In fact, if you say the latter you’re saying you have good intentions, but how good are those intentions if you refuse to help accommodate more?
Some understanding and clear communication will do a lot to smooth the axles of the world.
I read somewhere that Hezbollah started using pagers as their main method of communication instead of cell phones out of worry that phones would get hacked. That’d explain the prevalence of the pagers.
I think the point of the island is to show that when you have limited space, residential density really matters. Even if you took away all the concrete, spacing, etc between houses in this example and just out 100 ranch style homes in a corner with no spacing in between them, it would leave room for significantly less nature.
Your neighborhood sounds beautiful, and that’s great, but that ratio between nature and residents is probably being achieved with more land than if high density residential housing was in place.
Yeah I’d pay good money for this ngl
Dang. Yeah unpredictability is the worst.
This is just for fun, but you might enjoy this video by someone who genetically engineered an everlasting gobstopper to give him long lasting lactose tolerance
I just down fistfuls of Costco lactaid, lol
A dude was quitting magic the gathering cuz he played it with his ex. Bought his collection. Found a non-precious metal wedding band. I don’t know where it is now, perhaps it rolled it’s way to smeagol.
How active is your local Lemmy community? Mines is pretty dead but voting for the specifics you call for is still mentioned.
Of course people aren’t going to be discussing the specifics of local races in the general politics community. It’s entirely disingenuous to argue that’s an indicator that nobody cares about local races.
On top of that, I’d say there’s some nuance - nationally, you’ll see Democrats reasoning with Republicans, targeting the non-maga conservatives.
However here on Lemmy, there are very few conservatives as well as a disproportionate number of third party folks, so you’ll see a lot more discussion centered around third parties.
