Yes! Makes no fucking sense. Transwomen are men when it’s convenient, but these people sure as hell won’t actually consider them as men either since even feminine cis-men are mocked and called women by a lot of this crowd… I guess the whole argument would actually be “there’s only men and women!! And these other things that aren’t even people” if they were honest

Thank you! I’m relatively good at written english, but the spoken one always gets me…

The whole thing is about controlling women in essence. These people try to define what a proper woman is; how they should look and act, how they should be, and then enforce that over everyone. Bathroom laws are a good example, as is accusing all athletes that don’t fit petite feminine stereotype being trans as well. These demands of “proper” will also get more and more narrow if they get foothold. Don’t want to wear dresses and make up? Too hairy, too tall? Too loud, too smart? Too bad, you’re not a woman and deserve to be assaulted.
Any woman, trans or cis, supporting any form of transphobia is shooting themselves in the leg. Especially terfs are asinine since they’re even pretending to be for women’s rights while simultaneously doing their best to eradicate them

What?! Are polish and polish pronounced differently?

Yeah that’s not blood. It’s too bright to be that dry, and you can even see the pen marks; that’s been colored with a pen, not even painted on. If there was that much blood, it wouldn’t be in that uniform color and thickness, the actual splattering pattern would be very different, and it certainly would have dripped between the fingers

It’s highly dependent how much cheese you put on it, really. Just the base and some (quality) toppings aren’t the problem, but if half of the content is cheese, that’s way too much fat and energy. Personally I don’t like cheese so I only sprinkle a minimal amount of it on top, but I’ve observed most people feel the total opposite and drenching the whole thing in cheese seems to be the preferred way to consume it…
- Comment on Anon gets his life in order 2 weeks ago:
There’s certain common patterns this dynamic seems to take:
- They end up in that type of traditional marriage for fifty years where the wife controls absolutely everything and the man throws around jokes about ball and chain. This ends when either one dies; if the man dies first, the wife will live happily for another ten years, but if the wife dies first, the man follows soon
- The man loses all sights of himself and becomes a passive and meek “yes, dear” -man, and then the girlfriend (or wife if they managed to get married) eventually gets bored since the project car isn’t fun anymore, and cheats or just straight up leaves him. This pattern might also involve straight up domestic violence where the man is too embarrassed and scared to seek help
- The girlfriend (or wife again) gets tired of taking care of a manchild instead of having an equal partner, and leaves. This happens especially if they have children and the wife realizes it’s actually easier to take care of the children alone. Often the man also ends up whining about how he doesn’t understand what he did wrong, and thought everything was going so well

But the thing is, if it turns out to be harmful, it’s too late if we have used it - we can’t get it out of nature anymore. Which is a fucking big risk to take considering the effects research has already proven with the other PFAS. That’s kinda the whole problem with persistent organic pollutants
- Comment on She's out of town and I'm cleaning her entire collection as a surprise 2 weeks ago:
Only if they are persistent organic pollutants as well
- Comment on She's out of town and I'm cleaning her entire collection as a surprise 2 weeks ago:
I think in the case of PFAS it’s very reasonable. There’s no real harm done in avoiding them except possibly making less money and having to figure out other ways to do certain things - which cannot even be compared to the the potential danger they pose to the whole ecosphere
- Comment on She's out of town and I'm cleaning her entire collection as a surprise 2 weeks ago:
PFAS is a chemical
PFAS is the term for the whole group of the stuffs called “forever chemicals” (for a reason). There’s not just a single one, but multiple, and as the specific ones and groups get banned, the industries move to use different ones, basically. It’s important to buy “PFAS free” stuff, any other labels like “PFOA free” can still mean there’s PFASs there, there’s just not ones from the specific variation

There’s always the old classic video of a finnish man cursing at a bear, which has a good example of how a proper perkele is said
- Comment on What 3 weeks ago:
I’m in Finland and swedish is our second official language. I’ve heard groups of fennoswede teenagers all speak swedish to each other, except they will throw in properly pronounced finnish curse words (like vittu and perkele). I guess they just are more powerful
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 4 weeks ago:
If you want something calm, you could try houseplants. There’s all sorts of options from easy to difficult to keep, and it’s easy to end up filling your home with them, which is actually pretty beneficial unlike some other clutter
- Comment on But why 4 weeks ago:
Lmao what’s up with teachers getting mad at little kids reading faster than they should?! I have similar experience where the whole class was supposed to read one book together, like a chapter per week at home. At that point I was a major fantasy nerd and could read several books per week, so imagine the agony when the book was actually good! I gave up pretty quickly and just read it, and the teacher was so angry. I didn’t get in any more trouble than that either, though. I guess you’d have to be a really bad teacher to actually punish a kid for reading, even if you get mad at your plans getting ruined

The Sims 2 is 100% the best of the series, yeah. At this point you can basically mod the game to look however you want, and mod it to play as you want, there’s insane amounts of mods and content available. There’s custom options for the UI, you can even get a fixed version for the launcher. I’ve been playing it for around 20 years now, and last I played “like you’re supposed to” was like 18 years ago lmao.

Yeah, what’s the endgame if you lie?! If you’re going to fuck, they’ll find out the truth anyway. And if you lied, they’ll pobably be less inclined to actually continue when they see you there, pantsless

PS if you don’t own a rice cooker what the fuck are you doing
It’s hard to find a good one that doesn’t have PFAS. And having one that has isn’t an option because it can easily kill my birds
- Comment on At least it works 1 month ago:
I’m somewhat blind to faces, and I’ve always imagined how hard a situation like that would be with someone like me. I could not describe the face of a person I saw at glance, no matter what details you asked, and if I had to recognize someone they caught or showed me a photo of, I couldn’t. Even if you gave me a photo of someone and asked me to pick them out of bunch of people, I likely wouldn’t be able to. Facial blindness makes you the worst possible bystader! Or best I guess, if you’re a criminal.

- Comment on Punch Time 1 month ago:
At least the english ones are usually somewhat understandable; as a native finnish speaker, the machine translations to finnish are notoriously bad. The worst case has been some random anime from netflix, where I had to change the subtitles to bad machine translation english, because the finnish ones were just straight up complete gibberish and I could understand more of the japanese than those (and I don’t know japanese outside some words and common expressions!). Reading them felt like I was having a stroke lmao.
I have no idea why they’re even made in finnish because they’re very often just fully unusable.

- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 1 month ago:
that may or may not be legal by the country’s employment laws
What’s your union situation? Can you join a local trade union for your profession, or does it require some more permanent citizenship-thing there? Maybe it’s unhelpful for this specific problem, but join one if you can. If there’s any issues with holidays, payment, etc., they’re the ones that can help you out - they know the laws. That’s invaluable especially when you aren’t exactly sure how the local stuff works

If any form of your shit regularly includes blood, also maybe consult your doctor. Might be just hemorrhoids, especially if it’s bright red blood, but even those can be treated.

But, they only stopped working when it was too dark to do anything, and then they basically sat or slept in a tiny, drafty, stuffy, one-room hut along with their livestock until the sun came up.
This is not entirely true though; people have lived up in the north for ages, and they certainly did not just sleep up to 24h per day for several months. “Just sitting” isn’t how I’d describe it either, since those were the times for handcrafts, storytelling… etc. Expensive candles were were not the only source of light, for example around here people used specific wood chips they burned to get some light - obviously it’s nothing like modern day lighting, but it wasn’t just total darkness either.
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 2 months ago:
a lot of gamers categorically refuse to buy a game in early access and wait for the 1.0 release for the “full experience”
I refuse to buy early access games just because if they sell enough, the devs won’t complete the game and it’ll be stuck in the “10 years in development” -phase
