  These are extremely uncommon in North America, unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They have a right to feel smug⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I love these types of windows. Just need to add some mosquito/bug nets are you’re all set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon achieves new heights⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m short and this still happens to me…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know there are different types of vaccines, but really, experience should be enough to prove this assumption wrong many times over. I guess people just don’t get their flu shots…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What you were taught “Flu shots give you the flu”

  What we know now A common misconception…

  “Updated understanding emerged around 2020”

  Updated for whom? Anti-vaccine idiots?

  I just picked up a book on this! There is, of course, an incredibly racist history to the use of these concepts.

  You two have hit the jackpot apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a Best of Lemmy? This should definitely be on there. Kudos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't fit in⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah defeatist mentality suggests he’s still playing the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do guys have a haircut?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Curly hair, so it often looks shorter than it is. I let it grow until it gets heavy enough to be annoying. 6 months to a year, maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some franchises with characters that personify countries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Scandinavia and the World (comic)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump posted this in Truth.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Sky is trying to kill you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨winter fans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Best part about winter, the quieter pace of things. An introvertsl’s dream.

  Unfortunately my account never managed to work/register properly. And now it never will. :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The average age of Disney princesses is 505y.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Treasure Planet and Atlantis are two of the best. They go well together too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t Ramanujan write to a Cambridge professor? His English would be great. Colonial India—a lot of elites would’ve had knowledge of English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally a Renaissance man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting that he said that, given how much he dunks on philosophers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, Leonardo had that natural sense of curiosity and wonder that I can imagine being completely infectious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bertrand Russell has an intro to philosophy book that is quite accessible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It gives you critical thinking skills, which are already in quite short supply…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes more sense than this shit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There was actually a second weasel that did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well said! I like the acknowledgment that men being at the table can help and may be better to address patriarchy and other problems that face everyone. We all move forward together or no one does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The Will to Change by bell hooks is the book you want! Short read too, but very meaningful. I’ve been making my way through it extremely slowly for several months, trying to digest everything. It’s interesting to see how she often conflicts with a lot of contemporary feminists as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I really liked bell hooks’s approach to this. She focuses on incorporating male problems into feminism as a focal point, not excluding them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: WASH YOUR HANDS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair point. Probably not very separate to begin with, but definitely so now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconding the bread for sure. German bread (especially rye) is a real treat, and most larger supermarkets have bakeries in them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also from the Midwest and I lived in Munich for a year. It’s a lovely place. The groceries were cheaper and fresher/better quality, the food was great, public transit was incredibly useful (I’m not sure how it fares in/to Grunwald, but the transit in Munich is quite extensive). At least near the city, most neighborhoods are fairly walkable and have nice neighborhood shops, cafes, etc.

  If you’ve been to Aldi in the US at all, definitely check out a German Aldi. It’s next level and amazing. Fresh sliced bread, falafel, mango lassi… I miss it.

  Truth to the legends… there’s a reason two separate religious codes banned consumption of pork.

  I kept getting blocked as a bot by Cloudflare too. It sucks to be restricted from the internet just because I care about privacy.
