I mean believing Mr. Grab 'em by the pussy measures genital tightness with a finger isn't quite the stretch that adrenachrome is, but I take your point.

Yeah, I do think women women on average put more effort into being physically attractive to men (certainly more time on average). I'm sure it's controversial to say but on a basic 1-10 scale my gay friends rank higher on average than do my straight buddies, and I think that's about effort, not nature.

I think hair, makeup,and clothes can change your base rank a lot but average women take advantage of this way more than average men while celebrity men and women both take full advantage so the 10 ranking is set just as high for both genders, but higher rankings are more attainable for "regular" women.

So maybe women aren't so much pickier as it is that neither gender exists as a perfect bell curve in our natural state compared to 10s and a lot of women's beauty is "unnatural" raising our ratings.

My husband and I are both pretty low key on attractiveness effort normally but the difference between me on an average Saturday and me attending a wedding is way bigger than his difference.

Bambi and snow white both have pretty long opening credits with beautiful music. I think of it as endurance training for my child it's so long and boring.

I don't think Epstein related accused deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore. Too much has been corroborated, and they've worked too hard to bury it/cover it all up.

Boy I have been feeling this exact sentiment so much this week. We have a child, and there's just nothing like church out there for families. Church is free (though they do expect a tithe) but the family activities are so plentiful. It's like all the classes and small groups and stuff come with free childcare, including the Sunday service. Most all of the suggestions here are not kid friendly and i just don't have the resources to pay for childcare once a week so I can do a fun activity, class, or club focused on adults. I already use my parents once a week so I can attend therapy and I feel bad enough about that to ask for anything more.

I did look up my local UU and they have a game night that includes childcare, but I'm going to have to attend services for a while before I trust anyone new with my child.

The most I've had at once was 6, but that doesn't really count because it was a short time that I took in a momma cat and her litter who were all adopted out two months later. I kept momma for about a year after before adopting her out. I've never had a cat its whole life. I have fostered a ton of kittens, and had cats for years, including cats that previously lived outdoors and then when I adopt, it's usually been older cats who need extra care.

Yes, 15 would be quite a lot if you assume full lifespans of the cats!

Women are able to perpetuate misogyny. Your comment seems like you think misogyny can only happen to a women from a man. Not sure of your actual intent, but it comes off that way.

Then we've already lost. Convincing our neighbors and even our families that this is violent fascism at all is just getting us labeled as extremists or hysterical, or at the very least over- reactors. People are fully in denial here. It's hard when everyone on lemmy seems to think just because we can't get our neighbors to wake up, and we're not willing to get ourselves immediately killed via one man revolution that all Americans equally deserve this.

Yeah, I'm wondering if too playful meant too attackey? Once we got a cat who had a "clean" history. He was so sweet and snuggly except he'd get in this zone where he would crash out and attack our legs and bite. We tried everything we could think of, my partner and I had had like 15 cats previously between us. No amount of play time, novelty in toys, attention, affection, space, whatever made him not attack our ankles and bite. I started feeling too anxious to walk across the house to the kitchen. With a sick pit in our stomachs we had to bring him back to the shelter. There we found out we had been lied to and he had lived as an outdoor cat for a while, and had been returned once before for biting. We had a 3 bedroom house and a screened in porch but it just wasn't enough for him. We were also discouraged from reporting the biting as it would "make it harder to rehome him."

I don't know if I'll have another animal in my house again. The biting and scratching was stressful and awful but having to return Beau was so difficult, and felt like such a failure. I can't handle falling in love and then failing another animal.

You can't judge someone for the third hand account. Maybe OP and her dad were a much better fit and the animal is different in their home.

Apparently you're offended by practical and cheap label makers

Booo don't yuck their yum

Yeah jeez, she's protesting to keep her children safe AND everyone else's (even the right). Seems like a damn good mother to me
