If that was my goal, I would not have explicitly pointed out I was making a side observation…

100% I was just shocked at reading that line and being unable to make the distinction
- Comment on Open source text editor poisoned to target Uyghur users 12 hours ago:
subjected to “serious human rights violations” including arbitrary detention, may be forced not to use their own language, and are subject to discriminatory government policies that create “interlocking patterns of severe and undue restrictions on a wide range of human rights.
short side observation: how is this any different from the USA today?
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 days ago:
a bit harsh ig.
Likely, sorry about that
Maybe a better formed argument is that getting into a marriage legally is way too easy compared to the legal process of leaving one.
This is a completely different point than your original one though. And, while somewhat true, the countries that have strong marriage protections will not save you from a separation even if there is no marriage (more on this below)
The part about being in a hospital, only applies if the partner is not conscious
Or impaired in multiple other ways… but yes, the not conscious part if key because you could be in a medically induced comma to spare you the pain and someone may need to advocate for you in case a decision needs to be made. If you just had minor issues, there would be no problem but we are fending off the worst scenarios, no need for legal protection for minor stuff
Some other counties have another method for this where if you’ve simply lived together long enough those sorts of protections exist.
Correct and those same laws are the ones that basically have you automatically declared “common law” (or whatever preferred term) which makes a separation almost as hard as a divorce (coming back to point 2 above)
Is it a valid reason for legally formalizing your marriage? That’s up to you and your partner to decide.
At the end of the day, yes of course it is for the couple to decide… I just want to make it clear that you do not normally get the same level of protection by just having a will or a power of attorney (or it would be actually worse in those cases) and that people should consider this WAY more than “I don’t need a paper to say I love someone”, that is not what legal marriage is about
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 days ago:
Getting legally married is intended to protect the couple under certain circumstances as you suggest. You could attempt to perform the same with other legal means but it would be harder and costlier; like you deciding not buying a car but putting one together yourself.
The notion people get legally married out of love or worse that “a paper does not say I can love a person” seem to just have a 7 year old notion of what marriage is
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 days ago:
This is a shallow and very “I just think about the next few hours” view…
First of all, there are a lot more legal protections to married couples even if no kids are involved. Second, I guess you know when you are going to die so you can be certain there won’t be any end of life concerns, you are certainly immune to accidents, right? But also, you don’t have to be about to die to want your fiance to be allowed in the hospital room with you (which they won’t be if you are unable to provide approval and they are not legally your partner)
The “state” does not meddle in married life either… this is a rednecky thing to say… unless of course you are referring to treating your partner like crap or attempting to deny them any protection they are legally entitled to

Sure but I’m not analysing the characteristics of both platforms; I eas just answerilg the question and it’s a fact that pinterest is the closest thing to reddit but more attractive to women
I honestly don’t understand why people seem upset by that

- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 2 weeks ago:
I agree, but at a higher level the analogy works… like a sports car vs a pickup truck vs a minivan. Very different but at the end of the day they are all vehicles and men tend to like one of those more than others, same as women (and no, I am not implying women like minivans… my wife forbade me from getting one when our kids were little and I had given up on a cool car for the convenience of one)

Oh I see, you are just an idiot… go back to reddit please
- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, I really cannot stop people from making up things I did not write and tagging them along in their heads.
The way I worded it “it’s called Pinterest” came from me thinking this was a well known thing which apparently is not for many lemmy users.
Check this article which is 10 years old, where Pinterest representatives acknowledge this demographic divide and want to correct it
- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I have. And the differences that you allude to are a huge part why women find it attractive, more so than men.
Pinterest itself have publicly stated this was not necessarily intentional and they wanted to bring more men to the platform.
- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 2 weeks ago:
it wasn’t a joke
pinterest is an link aggregator just like reddit and geared towards women
of course women are welcomed here, no clue how you get otherwise from my comment
