Just how many bills there are just sapping your account. My immersion heater just broke and I really don’t want to be dealing with having to get somebody in and paying them… And no, I’m not doing it myself, thats a recipe for floods and fires.

Absolutely

The type I like to idealise or fantacise about are all triangular, himbos and f o r e a r m s but the type I’d like to actually be with are softer, squidgier and silly, somebody that is just going to be fun to be with.

Absolutely. Gotta work through the bad bits to make the reward all the sweeter.

Yeah, there was a lot of negative comments flying around and post from somebody in the community to ask lemmy that was something like ‘why do some men find it so hard to understand they aren’t wanted in a women’s only space’ and that obviously dug up a bunch of misogyny and ‘not all men’ comments.

Sealioning?

The women’s stuff drama was enough for me to block a bunch of butthurt men preemptively

And this is why right wing men have been so scared of apps and spaces like Tea and felt the need to enact ‘justice’ when the data leaked.

I know this is meant to be more positive but I just didn’t really. As a child I don’t think I had something concrete and as a teenager etc I never really could visualise a future for myself. I ended up with a pretty decent career but I ended up here by chance and just seeing where the wind took me.

I bet the tattoo to tooth ratio is particularly high in that lot

Nearly all the time, it feels weird without one? I like the less structural ones and more comfy casual ones when just at home doing nothing, like the pull over ones with padded inserts (I really wish I understood the science of how the washing machine puts both pads on one side).

Im assuming its referring to a different drink that isn’t common knowledge so its just funnier to call it coffee

Same energy as Percy Pig showing off his sty of decapitated clones.

Is that really your take away? Its not about driving into water… The seatbelt cutter is not the point, the window breaker is. The fear is of being trapped inside an uber or similar - window and child locks engaged and being kidnapped or held against your will.

All of the other items are about protecting yourself from people who may wish you harm, why would the window breaker be any different?

I was at an event this weekend and got really nice comments when I brought out my little purse that I made and was able to talk about it - gave me a fair bit of motivation to keep trying and keep making new things, I’d love that by the time the event comes around next year, I might be able to have my own little stall or something to sell my stuff!

If only society deemed it appropriate for my clothes to have pockets 😭. I do want to make some wallets for friends and family though.

I do actually want to learn how to make some chainmail, there are a few fashion items I like to make that I think would really benefit from it.

Thanks! Yeah that is very much my goal at the moment, learning and building upon things I’ve learnt previously so that I can get to more and more technically complex projects rather than perfecting a single style of thing, so I rarely make the same item twice at the moment.

And you should! I’ve really been having a lot of fun with it, its nice having an outlet for my creativity and I’ve had so many nice things said about the stuff I’ve made, its addictive!

People also don’t appreciate intersectionality. Like a gay, black woman doesn’t just have to navigate the same issues as a gay person, a black person and a woman but also has to navigate issues specific to being a gay woman, a black woman and being black & gay. Its a cumulative thing that those from more privileged or common positions don’t get those other interplays and combinations and the additional complexity that adds to that person’s life.

Probably a very minor one really but in the theme of the right vs left handed comment before - early birds vs night owls.

I’m very much a night owl. Mornings are rough for me and I’m definitely not at my best or most productive. Yet society only realy caters for early birds. My job starts at 9:00 and ends at 17:30 - people who start earlier and finish earlier (like 7:30 - 16:00) are seen so much more positively than starting late and finishing late (like 10:30 - 19:00). And its common for important meetings to be front loaded in the day in the mornings, i dread and hate the 09:00 meeting with passion.

I constantly get comments when we are doing an on site go live event during breakfast that I look really tired or I’m not a morning person/haven’t had my coffee etc… yet calling out somebody who is tired, grumpy or flagging during dinner isn’t socially acceptable.

And the fact that night time is seen as sacred quiet time (more an issue when I was growing up) but early morning isn’t. People go to bed at 9 and I remain quiet and respectful of people trying to go to bed. But 8 am? Time to crash about the house, mow the garden, talk loudly etc. with no real respect for those still asleep.

Society sees night owls as lazy and societal norms are’t built for us.
