Insane expectations being placed on women around beauty and appearance, and the resulting insecurities that creates, play a big role in this

The whole question of double standards is in a sense, asking about common unhealthy traits

It’s not entirely on you. Accusing you of mansplaining is not cool, she should’ve just said something like “i’m sharing this because I’m looking for emotional support, not solutions, so please stop trying to solve my problems when I’m just venting”.

In a sense, how people react to having problems shared with them is a cultural difference, neither is right or wrong but they can be jarring and confusing when you’re used to one culture but interact with a different one. But it’s not fair to just assume the other culture is acting in bad faith

No

I switched to arkenfox since the librewolf package lagged a bit on arch and I didn’t want to build myself. If sites really break bad (usually I can get around it by disabling some ublock settings), I just open a blank firefox profile

There’s also arkenfox or librewolf

💯

Chikfila abuses animals

Oh yeah I do this, I’ll raise you that mine also sshs into my server to update the editor theme

Hey that’s pretty good, I’m gonna steal it. It might even be worth making a pullrequest to update swaylock to have a flag to do this, I use waybar and it has a lock inhibit button that I use before I start watching anything, but automating it like this is seems super nice

Both major political parties in the US are different degrees of right wing auth.

The two were separate signs of the increased need for privacy

Fair, but at least in the US right wing auth is a much more direct and realistic threat to people and their privacy, although left auth is bad too

Any recs on good NA whiskey?

If you didn’t realize the importance of privacy after the patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism, it’s definitely time to get on board asap. Get yourself and your community on signal instead of texts and tuta or proton instead of regular email, use a vpn (mullvad or proton are solid), and depending on what kinds of actions you may or may not be interested in, learn how to use tails os and tor (try to find a copy of the darknetmarket bible for a good intro)

Edit: simplex is a good alternative to signal too, and if you have a google pixel, grapheneos is solid. Next time you’re getting a new phone, get a used pixel and install it. On your computer, there’s a lot of telemetry and sketchy stuff windows does, either research and disable that or switch to linux if you can

Yeah I had no idea. It’d be fun to tell kids that if you eat them they’ll pop in their belly, similar to the watermelon seeds growing one

Qr code to the nongolfers subreddit, or the lemmy community if there is one, so she can see the error in her golfing ways

Damn they even got cats on the moon

Yeah I only really use it for personal stuff for that reason. There’s a vscode plugin, but last time I tried it it was really slow

"you really don’t think that de Dutch NOC would send someone to Paris who IS a real risk? No, he isn’t a risk.”

Given how often powerful groups cover up and protect pedos in their ranks, yeah I do think they would send someone who’s a risk. It’s not surprising, just disappointing
