Yeah I do no think mansplaining is not a thing that happens, it absolutely is and is incredibly annoying and insulting.
I just don’t like how people assume someone is misogynistic and mansplaining because of a single comment on the internet and get all accusatory.
It is more of a thing that you need to witness a person doing multiple times to women in order to definitely make an opinion of that person.
If it were a YouTuber that constantly does it in multiple videos then ya fair, throw that in the comments all you want.
In this case though it’s jumping the gun a little bit.

The thing I don’t like about the mansplaining accusation is it makes lots of men out to be sexist/misogynistic when they are really just pedantic twits that very well could have commented the same stupid thing to a man. But because it was to a woman someone has to accuse them of being sexist too.
Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of sexist assholes, but just assuming it to be the case off a single comment irks me.

I really wish people had to go to a driving test every 10 years and then get graded on how poor/good their driving skills are.

As much as I agree filming without permission isn’t a great move, there is no way to tell if they didn’t ask to post it afterwards with their permission and being perfectly fine with deleting it if they weren’t okay with it. It’s not like it was a live feed.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 2 weeks ago:
Capitalism and the free market is supposed to encourage efficiency and innovation in order to remain competitive in order to keep prices low… Is Sony against capitalism? Is it against the free market? Is in adverse to innovation? C’mon Sony … Stop being lazy.

I’m moving to a place with well water, how difficult was it to install reverse osmosis and hook it up to the fridge? Does yours just provide for the fridge or the whole house?

Similar to how humans and apes have a common ancestor, the horseshoe crabs would have an ancestor which looked very similar to today’s version, although slightly different, and some of them would have evolved into other things while some remained relatively unchanged.

I wonder what would happen if we transplanted some penguins from Antarctica to the arctic. Would they survive?
Maybe some of the more endangered ones could live and thrive up there, and then become a second food source for the polar bears so they don’t starve now that there isn’t as much ice to hunt seals on.
It’s not like there much of an ecosystem up there that an invasive species can fuck up like the toads down in Australia.

A better device would simply be a switch on the wall to press an emergency button. Very little technology required or security patching.

Devil’s advocate, is she trying to say compared to those unvaccinated but still exposed to/have had the virus? Or people who were never exposed? Because that could maybe change the context. You would think antibodies from a vaccine would stay around the same length of time as those exposed to the live virus directly.
If she is talking about people never exposed than I have no idea what she is talking about.

Why is 15% considered cheap when 15 years ago it was perfectly acceptable? A percentage is a percentage. Yes, cost of living has gone up but that includes food prices which means tips go up as a result automatically, hence the example I provided.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t care what people think, I’m still doing 10% for okay, 15% for good, and 20% for great.
It’s not my job to give servers a raise. The food prices have already exploded, they are already getting more in tips just because the base cost went up
My $10 meal and 15% tip ($1.50) is now a $15 meal with a 15% tip ($2.25) which would have been a 22.5% at previous prices. They already come out ahead in that scenario without tip percentages increasing.

- Comment on Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit 4 weeks ago:
Eh, it’s unique but I don’t think that should give Sony the right to use the exclusively (looking at you Nintendo and Pokemon)
You could have the exact same game but with flashy dinosaurs and all of a sudden it’s not a problem? And then a third company can come out with another copy with fleshy dinosaurs and there’s no issue because fleshy dinosaurs aren’t unique.

Yeah I already left Reddit because (one of the reasons) they wouldnt let you open NSFW content without downloading their app on mobile. Having to submit ID is just way too ridiculous.

- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 1 month ago:
I had to drive a new Toyota Tacoma for a biology job. I needed to drive it in “offroad” conditions, which means there was grass over 12" in height (farm field).
It would automatically slam on the brakes and scare the shit out of me every time I tried to reverse and it thought the grass was something I was going to hit.
Drove me absolutely insane.

And honestly, the vehicle engineers are partly to blame for this in my opinion. Are you telling me there are no sensors in the car to let you know if there is a person in the seat so that their stupid little seatbelt not fasten chimes can ring? If they can tell that there’s a person inside, or that there is still a seatbelt buckled, DON’T TURN THE AC OFF AUTOMATICALLY
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 1 month ago:
I do not condon leaving children alone in a vehicle for ANY amount of time…
But I also absolutely despise vehicle manufacturers thinking their unnecessary “features” are in any way needed at all, especially in a form which cannot be disabled or needs to be disabled after each time the vehicle turns off and then on.
Fucking hate vehicle manufacturer engineers. Probably one of the least needed jobs out there.
VEHICLES ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED, STOP ADDING SHIT EVERY YEAR JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ADDING SHIT.
