Discover Weekly feature has been quite effective.
That used to be me.
I listen mostly to old swing, jazz, etc. It was fine. How can you mess it up?
And now I’m getting damn AI slop, pretending to be 1930’s music.

Scrambled eggs or pancakes are the limit of the imagination I’ve seen from Italian restaurants. But most places have pastry or some variation of a sandwich that’s going to be mostly bread.
- Comment on hmm breakfast 2 weeks ago:
Granted, I know Italy only from a tourist perspective.
Every damn restaurant closes in the summer in the middle of the day. So do many shops.
Italy rarely have breakfast restaurants - or at least what I’d consider a breakfast restaurant. Some variations of a premade ready to go sandwich ain’t it. And the good places ain’t open in the morning, but rather during brunch hours and serve brunch/lunch more than breakfast.
brioche stuffed with ice-cream
I know you’re joking. You’re kidding, right? :)

Coffee and sweat pastry, or Coffee is something I commonly saw in Italy (and only Italy)
- Comment on hmm breakfast 2 weeks ago:
While we’re shitting on breakfast culture in Europe I think that Italians have the worst. They have messed up daily rhythm (siesta and then dinner late in the evening)… Actually no, that’s not an excuse. They have garbage breakfast culture, period.
Literally everyone else’s breakfasts are awesome.

I think the emphasis was on you calling it the normal town, instead of “boy town”.
Calling it “normal” and other “girl town” means that the “girl town” is abnormal.

I’m 35. Math major. Work in STEAM. Well educated.
I hate analogue clocks. Why use subpar way of reading time if digital is so much better?

The new Velma show gave birth to THE best fanmade animation about Scooby Doo youtu.be/inJUFqeJehE
So while I didn’t enjoy the show, I’m grateful for it

Lemme clarify - do you mean just this (this is a normal window to me, common like sand).
- Comment on They have a right to feel smug 5 weeks ago:
Just get a detachable screen? We had them at my family home?
- Comment on They have a right to feel smug 5 weeks ago:
Why is a normal window there? Or does it do something special?

Are you making a point that slaves in USA are treated better than slaves in Saudi Arabia?

800.000 legal slaves in the USA make more than $11 000 000 000 (11 billion) of goods and services annually.

USians have slaves, I don’t see anyone screaming about boosting an oppressive regime?

Interesting. To me that game was just the worst:
Unskippable, long, very very very long, boring dialogues.
Shitty weapons, but fantasy. E.g. no oomph feeling when you hit the enemy with a large ice explosions. It just scraps a little of their health.
Boring, unchallenging fights.

Are we reading the same post? I don’t see wounded victim, I see OP saying no (for any reason), then see a hypocrite throwing a tantrum, and the OP being hurt by the hypocrisy and the tantrum?
And you calling him an incel for that? Was he supposed to bend over and suddenly get interested because that’s what she wants?
In your head how OP should behave here to not be an “incel”?

You’re confusing lust with attraction.

I just hope for better quests in LNF. The ones in NMS are just… Boring.
Maybe it’s because they are procedurally generated from like a template of 10.

Interesting fact: in… 2010-ish a Vatican historian priest released a book where he explained that Jesus was a jokester. A lot of his sermons in the Bible were haha funny for the people at the time.
Do you know what we call a dude traveling from city to city with an entourage making people laugh? :)
A comedian.

This is French journal about fear in women and how it affects their mobility. Whenever someone says
the risk of a fragile, shallow, unhinged, emotionally unstable man going berserk and MURDERING her.
it pops in my mind. The data they gathered suggests that women fear of violence is unrelated to actual rates of said violence happening, but is correlated to past smaller transgressions (“anticipated violence”). Long story short, if you were ever catcalled, or given a [clumsy] compliment, you’re likely to imagine (“anticipate”) out-of-proportion violence in multiple contexts.
The actual crime rate and crime gender proportion (in the US) - counciloncj.org/womens-justice-by-the-numbers/ - violence victims rate is 60-70% down since 1984 and since 2009 men and women are as likely to be the victim [before that men were most likely]; and the number of women perpetrators grown up. Oh, and the homicide rate by spouse is also closing the gap (although some studies suggest that the increase in women killing their husbands should be attributed to them not being dismissed as potential perpetrators by the police force)
I’m not dismissing your feelings OP, and your strategy seems very prudent, but I want to add to this discussion that it’s much much safer than you or the social media will try to paint, despite the fear you feel.
And that you’re not more likely to be a victim of a violent crime than a man (counciloncj.org/womens-justice-by-the-numbers/).

Wild cats sometimes form colonies. Those structures do have matriarchs. There is dominance in the groups.

Yeah… No
I’m not sure what you disagree with? Me blocking the thread to not see it on my page as per what previous commenter suggest? Or that I should’ve participated without reading the rules like you did?
I’m also not sure why are you calling people whiny dweebs or whom.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Just block the community or ask to be banned
Yup, that’s what I did. It leaves… bad taste in my mouth when it goes to my main page, the topic is interesting, I go to read it, and then I see someone silencing the participants with a very smug “You’re not a woman, so please kindly fuck off from here, flowers and smiles”.
