- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 44 minutes ago:
I knew of one person here though we never actually met before moving. Also happened to end up meeting a long time internet friend.
Aside from those two, my partner and I searched for community events and went to quite a few. Met a lot of people there. Community events are honestly a fantastic jumping off point.
Also made one or two friends randomly just hanging at a park.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 1 hour ago:
The sheer number of men who suddenly have no support in their life because their relationship has ended
Do men really not have any friends? I just moved to a new country and made like 5 close friends in the first few months, so that blows my mind in a sad way
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 2 days ago:
I’ll add, as a trans person with the athleticism of a rock, about 75% of the sports debate is coming from transphobes. The proof of this is that they’re fighting to get trans people banned from darts and chess

- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 1 week ago:
They’re unreliable and break constantly. At least, I’ve had to call in support for my Uplift desk twice now, and my desk at work has also stopped working. I don’t know why they’re so shitty.
- Comment on what's the best material for wiping out a cast iron skillet? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone has a different 8 step program to cleaning cast irons. I just scrape the fuck out of it with a chainmail “sponge” and water, maybe some coarse salt or s pinch of soap if it’s nasty. I dry it with a towel. I’ve had mine for yeaaaaars and it looks just fine.

Having an anti-intellectualism toddler dictator also tends to affect population
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 2 weeks ago:
I still have a 720p dumb TV and I’m not getting rid of it. But my eyesight is terrible so 720p, 1080p, 4k don’t really make much difference to me.

- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 1 month ago:
I immigrated to the US when I was too young to make that decision myself. Now I’m immigrating to another country.
I literally don’t know what it’s like to not be an immigrant, and I’m tired of receiving nothing but hate for it. At least my new city is more welcoming.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’m fluent in English and Spanish, et je suis en train d’apprendre le français
Though I will note that of course, learning a language that’s in the same “family” of languages as your mother tongue will always be easier, regardless of age. The jump to Japanese or Arabic from English is far greater.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
While there is a point where yes it’s gonna be hard no matter what, I’m learning a new language in my 30s and finding it relatively easy. As an adult you already have a large vocabulary and know what more complex words mean, you just need to learn their translation.

- Comment on What things should I do if I spilled a small amount of scalding water from a kettle on my arm? 1 month ago:
Immediately after the burn, run it under cool-lukewarm water. Not cold, not hot. You may or may not get a blister. If you do, don’t pop it. Simply bandage it with nonstick wraps, the liquid in the blister helps your skin heal. If it pops treat it like an open wound. Aloe is good to use. It can sting like shit if the burn is too fresh, but does help. Better yet is an aloe based burn gel. After initial healing, keep it moisturised as you said.
Not a doctor or medical person, but I am a very experienced fire performer and have tended to all sorts of burns.
