the standards are so different for men from women on clothing it's insane. the fact that I care about how my clothes fit and dont wear sweatpants unless I'm at home or at the gym makes me "well dressed" when for a woman that's like bare minimum to not be a slob.

and it is so important to clarify that the double standard should be resolved in favor of sweatpants & general slobbishnesss

Please continue with this policy it makes life so much easier for me, a person who more or less knows how to iron.

At somewhat formal events it feels like I have a choice of clothing options which can go in a washing machine and can vary based on weather conditions, while men need suits, which can vary somewhat based on weather conditions but will never have short sleeves.

cats always step precisely on your most sensitive areas when theyre crawling on you lovingly for cuddles. bladder dick ovaries boobs stomach bruise it doesnt matter. they have homing devices on their paws for the exact area you’re most tender at the moment and they put their full weight into that step. and sometimes they might keep their stance midstride so theyre just standing there forever forcing you to endure the pain. because they are simply too cute to get mad at

do people still do swole doge and cheems? cause that's what I see in my head whenever I hear about the European AC situation and its partisan alignments. The American left has its issues, and we're almost as stupidly anti-nuclear as the European Greens are, but as least we understand that modern heat pumps are highly energy efficient and put out the occasional manifesto about access to cooling being a human right. Meanwhile the current situation in France is like "don't want to cook to death? vote fascist!"

It's insane to me how many people have accepted the narrative of "if we want to protect minors, we need to give more power to their parents" as if one of the main issues facing minors in abusive environments isn't literally that they're completely at the mercy of their parents as is

every now and then i see people be like "i can't believe i got banned from (insert website/forum here) after i insulted and/or threatened the people running it" and i just wonder how they could have possibly not seen that coming

"we need to bring back forums/forum culture" sir you're getting a week long threadban for calling the moderator politely asking you to deescalate a dickless redditor who gets no pussy

"it's ok to show (x) in fiction as long as the bad guy gets punished!" the bad guy doesn't have to get punished. in fact the bad guy can win altogether. the bad guy can entirely get away with it. hope this helps

and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.

patents/copyright are meant to provide incentive for technological development/expensive investment in products. this works for pharmaceuticals (there are reasons why America develops like 50% of all new drugs). there is no fucking reason this needs to work for movies or TV shows. im sorry but nobody's life is being saved by a billion dollar movie budget. the fact that disney has clawed thier way into owning thier ips forever is not improving the world in any way. any defense of intellectual property that can be reasonably raised does not apply to the goddamn 'superfluous treats for funsies' industry

because you have a right to do any art you want, even if its superfluous, banal, useless, hackneyed talentless derivative garbage, it is a travesty that copyright doesnt let you do it, not because the end product is valuable in and of it self, but because your personal freedom to create garbage shouldnt be infringed upon.
