- Comment on Many new members post and delete their accounts 47 minutes ago:
Lots of us block all news posts simply because we want to get away from it.
But those folks try to get around our blocks because they feel the news is too important.
I have too many other ways to see the news, as it is. I browse here to do other things.

Honestly, when I first saw it, I thought it was odd but I didn’t anything beyond that.
Now that I know it makes a few folks so angry I’m tempted to start using it, lol

- Comment on Will I become a bad person in a year? 1 month ago:
That has nothing to do with the question of being a bad person.
- Comment on Will I become a bad person in a year? 1 month ago:
How you treat each other is what makes you good or bad.
Time is a human construct. Numbers are just for measuring things. And the older you get, the less important many numbers are.
Be a good person and you won’t be bad.

- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 2 months ago:
It takes time to get used to it, no pun intended. Everything is easier with practice.
Those of us who grew up with analog clocks can read them at a glance. If you are new to them, it’ll probably take you a few months (or more) of daily use before you can tell time at a glance.

I do not disagree, though I’m curious on your take of .COM since that has always had the same issue.

Not everyone subscribes to “numbers go up lol” as the only indicator of success.

It’s only “failing” if you take a corporatist, America-centric view.

- Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" 3 months ago:
It’s not about lying down, it’s about de-escalating.
That can be a touchy subject, so a little bit of humility helps prevent hurt feelings.
- Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" 3 months ago:
Yeah, this exactly. She has context in mind that she didn’t communicate with you. She may not realize you don’t know her context.
Best thing is to say something like, “I’m sorry for saying the thing you said was sexist. I’ll try to avoid making sexist remarks. But I’m not sure what was sexist about it, and I want to learn why so that I don’t do it again.”
Whether or not you think you owe her an apology, starting like that may help prevent her from getting defensive. That way, you can have a clearer conversation about it.
Whether or not it was actually sexist, she clearly had a reason for believing it was. And, agree or not, the reason is real to her.
