  Suggesting all women flee Everytime a law is passed that doesn’t work for us is short sighted. I’m not leaving my entire support system on the chance I get pregnant. First off, we’re trying to get the laws changed. We’re voting, and getting new abortion guidelines on the ballots. Second, yes, all women in my state should have a little vacation fund in case they want to visit the North in a hurry. A six week ban is ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not necessarily a false sense of privacy if it works. There’s an inconvenient barrier to searching vote history and if you do it in the current system you’d be recognized as petty at least. Easing access is not going to make Lemmy better.

  If you’ve been challenged to a foot race and you have the choice, wear your skeleton, muscles, and skin for your best chance at winning. If you’re being made to pick only one, choose muscles over skeleton.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like our collective experience is so boring and gloomy and so stressful for our little bodies and brains that we as a species are prone to mercurial outbursts where we act recklessly as a way to prove our existence to ourselves

  They’re safe relative to other explosives like bombs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a big part of it is that they’re dangerous. It’s fun to experience just a tinge of fear from how big they sound, or even just from being near the little street versions. It’s a (relatively) safe way for us to experience something that would otherwise be terror inducing explosives.

  Hey, we look to the comments to see if someone else read it and summarized it first before commenting!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long does it take for neurotypical (or just typical) people to get over a minor fight?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  my husband and I both have ADHD. typically, we fight, I’m over it pretty quickly, he needs until he can sleep to get over it, but I think this is because we usually fight “My way.” I need us to talk it out and dissect what’s actually the root of the issue (usually past hurt, ongoing pattern, or misunderstanding at the onset of the fight). Once the issue is dissected and we commit to a resolution, or even just commit to acknowledging the issue and working on it, I feel loads better. If our flight is interrupted or he gets his way (ignoring the root cause, taking a short break from each other for a walk) then I’m simmering for ages and not that interested in being friendly again whereas he is back to normal.

  Are you better at arguing? Do you typically “win” the argument? Or do arguments usually go along your ideas of how a fight should be structured? This may have something to do with it.

  I second the above recommendation for the Nonviolent Communication book. It’s a short little read / work book and it can get you both using the same language, as well as kind of force you to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure I understand. If you want a word removed from being suggested / corrected to, you type the word, and then click the word, and immediately above the keyboard there are 3 suggested words. You can press and hold the word to get it removed from being suggested in the future/ defaulted to with swype

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m on the Google Pixel and it lets me remove words from being suggested, and only takes me a few times tapping out a word to add it to my suggestions. I use swipe and it’s only gotten better and better for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing you’ve never been on TikTok. It’s a pretty good news source and information disseminator. Your algorithm feeds you what you pick so if you linger on posts from physical therapists and psychologists about child development, that’s what you learn about. If you linger on political posts highlighting our local and federal government’s corruption, you get that.

  I’m all for banning it (and all social media) for children, but if you think TikTok is all trash TV, you’ve been successfully propagandized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The increasing distrust many Americans have in modern medical advances is probably mostly due to our failing Healthcare system.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s tough when doctors have been liars too, like those who are hired to push a certain narrative by corporations, or those who participated in unethical studies, or basically all doctors to women saying all our problems are emotional and in our heads while ignoring objective medical facts/symptoms.

  When I see how differently men and women are treated in medicine, it’s hard to trust doctors to be objective. They’re just not.

  I’m doing my best to be a good little Democrat and look down on those who don’t trust doctors but geeze, experiencing a pregnancy and then giving birth in America makes it real hard to give doctors the benefit of the doubt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a thoughtless take. Do you know how hard it is to do things randomly? It takes way more work than doing things for a reason. Just because you don’t know the reason, you assume it’s arbitrary? That kind of thinking is why simple rules and instructions don’t get followed mucking up entire systems.

  From another comment on this thread:

  “I think it goes back to Fannie Farmer in 1896, who wrote the first major and comprehensive cookbook in English that used any kind of standard measurements. European cookbooks mostly used vague instructions without any standardized weights or numbers before that. At this point in the industrialized world standardized cup measures were relatively cheap and available. Scales were relatively bulky, expensive, and inaccurate in 1896. So the whole tradition got started, and most of the major cookbooks owed something to Fannie Farmer. Cookbooks that used standardized weights probably got started in other countries much later, when scales were becoming commonplace.”

  Doesn’t this defeat the purpose of no shoes inside? The point is to keep anything that touches dirt outside your house. Aren’t you tracking in dirt if you go outside barefoot?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mOLecuLaR maN⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stress can exacerbate almost every medical condition. The boat doesn’t perform normally when it’s under stress. It can affect pregnancy like crazy which affects every single person in the world. Every single person comes from a pregnancy. Stress can affect sleep which also negatively affects like every condition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woman removed from Delta flight over 'too revealing' clothing, calls for policy change⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Their policy isn’t an unreasonable risk of danger or disruption, it’s an unreasonable risk of offense. You’re not allowed to wear clothes that offend other customers. They can kick you off the plane for wearing a shirt that has an image of giving the middle finger or a curse word. You can tell it’s see through because the collar is fully opaque where the fabric is rolled over itself.

  Plus it sounds like they gave the woman the option of changing her shirt or adding a jacket and she wasn’t willing to do that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woman removed from Delta flight over 'too revealing' clothing, calls for policy change⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care what people wear, but everyone is saying she’s in trouble for wearing a T Shirt without a bra as if the mere outline of a nipple was the problem, but it looks like in the picture that her shirt is pretty see through. I think that’s the issue.

  Again, I don’t think she should have been kicked off the plane over it, but a see through shirt in Utah? That seems like an unreasonable risk of offense to me. Utah is crazy conservative. Delta isn’t taking a moral stance, they’re just protecting their profits in a Conservative state by enforcing a pretty reasonable dress code. You have to have coverage over your body.

  He may not have been bullied, but he may have missed out on bonding and closeness that his peers enjoyed. There was a study that showed life is way better for kids if they don’t have a phone, but only if their peers also don’t have phones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And I have literally never heard a girl in real life say she wouldn’t date a guy if he’s not above 6 ft. I see guys say it about women, but none of the women I know actually care about height. I have heard women say they’d prefer if their partner is taller than them, but even this is a preference, not a deal breaker. If you’ve actually heard the height thing from real women in your life, you just need to start hanging out with different women because that’s a shallow requirement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s purely that, because I don’t moan when I masturbate, but I do with a partner. I think it’s just about communicating what is good to your partner. I don’t have to communicate what spot is good to myself. I breathe heavier, but I don’t moan or say “right there” to myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought it was purely social conditioning, but I’ve got a theory that just popped in my head. I wonder if women need to be more vocal to communicate “Yes that’s good, keep doing that”? Like frankly my partner is often in charge of pace, depth, and even calling for position changes. I’m letting him know with my noises how good something is for me, If you should keep doing it, or if I get quiet he knows to try something different. I don’t mind him being quiet at all, until I’m on top and then I’m like I literally cannot tell if this is good for you. I have to ask out loud “is that good?” And then change something, “is that good?” After a blow-job I have to ask him, what parts did you like more than the other parts? Obviously I can tell he’s into it overall, but It’s really hard to know if a rhythm or amount of pressure is better than another if moaning doesn’t increase when you try something. Like he can absolutely tell when he hits a good spot when fingering me because my moans make it very obvious. I will straight say, “yes,” “please,” “right there,” “don’t move.” All kinds of stuff. It’s not just about making it hotter for the other person, it’s about communicating how good something is for you so they don’t have to do as much guessing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to disagree. Job postings straight up lie. My husband got to his second interview at a place before they revealed everything from the posting and first interview was a lie and it was a door to door sales job.

  Or they’ll lie about the responsibility or the pay of the job and he won’t learn that until deep into the interview process, which is costly in time, and stress, not to mention dressing up.
