Thanks!
- Comment on YSK that in 16 States in the USA has banned Ranked-Choice voting, including 5 that has just banned it in 2025, and 6 of those bans happened in 2024. 2 weeks ago:
Nope, the “No” campaign (keeping ranked choice voting) outspent the campaign to repeal ranked choice voting by 100:1, largely with out of state money.

That’s not what he said? He just said she was careless.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s also just tricky because sports fans tend to want to follow discussion of their team, which splits for example the soccer/football community into hundreds of sub-communities. I used to follow r/panthers (I am a long suffering charlotte home team supporter) but such a community doesn’t exist on lemmy. Similarly, you don’t really see active individual video game communities on lemmy even though that is more up the alley of the average lemmy user.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I found that to be pretty annoying as well when I started. I don’t mind the occasional political post but it’s the same handful of talking points again and again so it gets old fast. I recommend just blocking users and blocking communities; you’d be surprised how quickly that clears them out. Lemmy is small enough that once you block a dozen or two people that post politics nonstop you give the other content room to breathe.
- Comment on My husband who is 31 comes pretty quickly. I can rarely enjoy for more than 10min of penetration. Any secret tip for him to last longer? 4 weeks ago:
I’d just like to comment that 10-15 minutes of penetration is a very normal number, and probably a bit above average actually.
I do have one tip for you as a guy, which is, try to have sex in the morning. I always find that I last longer then. I read once that women’s hormone levels peak earlier in the day than men, so maybe that’s why.

Well, I mean convincing to the public at large. Yeah I know I guy, otherwise perfectly smart, that is convinced that aliens are real based on the cheesiest, most obviously faked videos from back in the 80s or whatever.

- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 1 month ago:
Yeah there are still several stages of clinical trials before this gets to market. Here’s hoping though!
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 1 month ago:
I’m not an expert, but looking at the research paper this is just blocking one one particular vitamin a receptor, so most functions of vitamin A would not be affected. Once concern is that this particular receptor (RAR-alpha) is partially responsible for neutrophil production, although they didn’t notice any changes in animal tests, possibly because those receptors are tucked away inside your bone marrow. Still could be a concern with long term use though…

As a longtime donor of the project, last I checked there were still concerns about the reversability of the project.
- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 2 months ago:
Go for it dude. I’ve been working out ny whole life and have never paid for a gym membership (I used the gym at college, then at my various apartments, and then when I got a house I set up a home gym). You can get an awesome workout in with nothing more than some free weights, a bench and a little creativity. You mention being a “total novice,” but I feel like most people that go to a gym are working out on their own anyways so unless you’re thinking of getting a personal trainer there’s really not much difference. If you have any questions about form just take a look on YouTube.
The other factor is, what will motivate you to exercise more? For me, it’s the convenience of knowing i can just walk into a room in my house and work out. Whereas I know some people that are more motivated by group exercise classes. So you’ll have to figure that out yourself.
- Comment on You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use. 2 months ago:
I have good vision but I actually really like this font since i have a smaller phone screen! Anyone know how to install it on an Android phone?

Man what am I doing wrong? Still nothing from her. Oh well. She’s probably too good for me anyways :,(
- Comment on Sun God 2 months ago:
It’s very hard to convey the size of the sun in a photo. On earth, it isn’t bigger than the moon. I don’t think I’ve ever seen, in a real photo, just how massive the sun is. I absolutely dwarfs a planet, which is kind of chilling. I’ve never seen a photo that shows anything further away from the camera than a planet AND that much bigger.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 3 months ago:
How did FDR feel about gay rights? Economically he was to the left but socially he was way to the right. Sanders, sure, but I meant in a general election.

Kamala Harris and Biden before her ran on the most liberal platform in history
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 months ago:
I only use bluesky to follow a couple of ukraine war news accounts. It’s very good for that purpose. I don’t interact at all or read comments, twitter was always an absolute cesspool and I assume bkuesky is as well, or will be if it ever replaces twitter

- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 6 months ago:
Well, it’s gender neutral, neither party can (legally) change their name after marriage. That seems weird to me. Let people do what they want.
- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 6 months ago:
Hmm but what do you do if your name is already hyphenated? You can’t just keep bolting names together so that’s not a solution for more than one generation.

- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 6 months ago:
Well for starters the meme is BS, check the other comments. Or just use common sense; there are plenty of traditional tribal societies around today, many of which are well documented. Have you EVER seen a woman from one of those communities hunting big game? I’ve been trying to think of one for the last 5 minutes and I can’t. I’m sure it happens but not a single example comes to mind.
- Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18! 7 months ago:
A dollar in 2017 is worth 1.28 today. So yes, in today’s dollars there would have been 4 people above 100 billion in 2017.
