Gloomy

I agree completely.

It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can’t be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.

Yeah, it is. The conversation was about gender roles, until you brought in rape.

Was it tough?

I’d phrase it differently. Unrealistic expectations of the opposite sex [^1] exist by both sexes, but that there outcomes for women when the stereotypes of men hold true are often more dangerous. One is saying it isn’t sexist; the other is saying that there’s a vast difference in risk.

Then rape isn’t part of the risk you were talking about here?

The “Would you rather a bear or…” question could be reused in a very uncomfortable way. You could swap men with a group of yoing, black, inner city men and rural white men for women. But instead of demonstrating that men are the issue and women the victims, suddenly it’d be black men who are the victims and rural white men the problem. And, yet, the fear and the risk of confirmation of stereotypes is the same - only in this case, believing those stereotypes makes people racist.

Fear of rape, among others. Which I wanted to show is backed by the data.

Also: there should be a Godwin’s Law for rape. The conversation was about household stereotypes. That was a bit of a leap.

I’ll leave this here.

Across their lifetime, 1 in 3 women, around 736 million, are subjected to physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner or sexual violence from a non-partner – a number that has remained largely unchanged over the past decade.

In the US it’s 1 in 6 women (and 1 und 33 men).

And last but bit least:

Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male.

So no, jumping to rape is not a leap. The fear of sexual violence is part of beeing a women. I don’t know a single women that wasn’t in a situation that did or did almost resulted in sexual violence.

It’s not part of beeing a men. I have never in my life feared about sexual violence and I share that with the vast majority of men.

The most pedantic comment on average, you mean.

Water under the bridge, no worries. I didn’t realize you had deleted your comment because I replied trough my inbox. I deleted the response.

Is this Chat GPT? So a bunch of made up papers?

Edit: Not that I give a shit about the downvotes, but come on. Give me a link to one of them. Just one. They even left the “Here are some studies…” AI red flag in there.

And they only can provide that useless compulsive junk so cheaply because they bulk order everything and then just change their offering price after the product is manufactured. So the manufacturer can’t just say “No deal” when they already produced massive quantities that they don’t have the logistical means to sell to other buyers.

I’m not saying that this isn’t true, but how does that work more than once? Wouldn’t any manufacturer quit working with them after this happened once? Isn’t the agreed price for a bulk order set down in writing before the manufacturing starts?

Have you got a source for this?

I disagree. When I make Ai images I create like 1000 versions of a promt and chose the one that comes closest to what I want it to convey and work from there.

The again, I do this offline and have no limits to work with, so there is that.

I get the sentiment and it’s cool you put some time into this. That said I think it looks go much like him leading the protesters. The composition isn’t ideal for the message, you know.

Not want to be an asshole, it’s just what seemed off to me, becuae when I saw this in my feed it looked like a very much pro trump image on first glance.

Old cars must have leaked more frequently without it breaking them, because I can remember oily puddles under parked cars quite a lot from my childhood (which was in the 90s).

This here is also a good video to find out why one would call her that.

I read the series as far as it went back then when I was a teen and even then I oupd notice the quality diving deeper and deeper with each book

This felt a bit like it feels for a german to read durch.

The Fedverse works in mysterious ways 🤷

Beeing honest about mistakes you make is way better than trying to deflect or lie about them. This is true in professional and in social settings.

Own up to your mistakes, try to correct them and be open about you fucking up. Most people will respect that more than you trying to be Mr or Ms Perfect.

Bullshit. You wouldn’t call it ethical to kill a 5 year old you see in the street just because it is done quick and painless.

Murder doesn’t become ethical just because it’s not also torture.

New Zealand by far. Nature was just so awesome.

Have a source from me then.

But aren’t more and special cheeper EVs better for the environment? So by preventing of softening the Tariffs on Chinese EVs, BMW etc are helping the environment.

Not out of altruism, sure, but it IS a good example of capitalism working towards a greener world.

Or am I missing something?
