  Tell him deodorant doesn’t block sweat but anti-perspirant does. There’s a big difference.

  Deodorant kills/lessens the odour causing bacteria, so if he’s worried about pheromones or some junk he read/heard online he’ll be fine with deodorant.

  Also maybe mention worrying about whether things are manly or not is not particularly manly, but I too went through a phase of trying to figure out what that meant for me.

  Probably the most cringe was my teenage attempts to grow a moustache and beard. It did not turn out well. I got an intervention by my boss handing me a razor, escorting me to the washroom, and telling me not to start my shift until I’d shaved.

  I just learned the book I’m reading has a glow in the dark cover

  I’m too early on in the book to know what that means

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I grew up where my dad’s family was rich (but not mcmansion country club people) and my moms family was dirt poor. They divorced and I grew up with my mom and saw her struggle to feed us and had to work as soon as I was old enough. I like to think I saw both sides, but definitely had more privilege than most.

  Those mcmansion people are the worst. My step dad’s brother was one, and he embezzled his own mother’s life savings and lost them. I’ve met tons of them through my dad’s connections and hearing them talk about how workers always wanted too much while owning multiple homes, new luxury cars, and staying in huge hotel suites was gross (I got brought to a few penthouse parties).

  I’ve seen my mom penny pinch, but I never had to feel the struggle that poor people do fully. My grandparents were rich but would always look after people (there was a lineup to my grandpa’s funeral because the church couldn’t fit everyone). Mcmansion rich people are the worst. They can do so much more for their community but they’d rather have stuff and luxury.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically a prequel, Mike Flannigan’s Ouija: Origin of Evil far exceeds the original by every measure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love my family, but I’ll never forget the day my grandpa drove me to town, bought me a sundae, then we stopped at the park so I could eat it. When I was done he asked if I liked it then told me to be careful or I’d end up as a fatty.

  It was a very loving family with sprinkles of that mixed in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wish I could charge $100 a call attempt to these people⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was undergoing a medical procedure and passed out and vomited all over myself

  I asked the staff to call my wife so they went to the waiting room yelling her name and she just ignored them asi.ing it was another patient. Then I gave them her phone number and they tried calling her but she didn’t recognize the number so ignored the calls.

  The nurse did not believe that my wife was there, she thought I was totally out of it and was trying not to look worried.

  Later my wife thought it was the funniest thing.

  If you want keyboard shortcuts in your terminal ctrl+x e opens the current command in your editor. When you save you can then run the command.

  I don’t think this works with all shells but it’s easy to set up in modern ones.

  That’s still crazy, I agree

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private parking rules review prompted by £2,000 five-minute fine⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not mentioned in the article, but how on earth did they cite her for 2000 in fingers in 5 minutes?

  Hopefully any judge who saw that would dismiss it as unreasonable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's making it into the good parts, my fellow philosoraptors?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Two things for sure:

  1. Mathew 7:12 “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.” That really should sum up Christianity.

  2. Jesus throwing the merchants out of the temple, because really religion and making money should never go hand in hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibes based cooking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I binge watched a lot of Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares (the UK) one

  The best tip ever given on those shows is Gordon Ramsay yelling “taste taste taste!” at everyone.

  Tasting as you go is what improved my cooking the most. I also vigorously smell everything too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibes based cooking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I probably put herbes de Provence in too many things, but I like how it tastes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Par for the course⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.

  What’s weird about this broader “conversation” on masculinity is I feel more masculine than ever, despite not giving a flying fuck about any of this.

  I never really struggled with it except as a teen, but the older I get the less I care.

  —

  I still say we made a mistake with communicating to men about feminism. We kind of left people who are terrible like Andrew Tate to dominate the conversation when people shut down men’s rights groups as de facto misogynistic, and now here we are.
