Seriously. I was homeschooled K-12, but in real life I only mention it when asked, and it feels embarrassing.
Absolutely. The experience has been a blast, but I also print miniatures for tabletop games and the printers have paid for themselves multiple times over if I had bought all the minis I have printed. Granted, I wouldn't have bought that many, but that's not important.

Um
Internet person, I think you and I agree on almost everything. I'm not attacking you, but it feels like you're getting really defensive.
Your comment here paraphrasing what I wrote grossly misrepresents what I was saying. I never said you were wrong. What I was replying to was at the time the first comment in the thread when I opened the post. The comment blamed any woman who is killed by their abusive partner as at least partially responsible for their death. While technically true, that is not a helpful place for our collective understanding of the issue to rest. My point was to redirect focus onto the root problems. I didn't scour the comments to see if you completed your thought elsewhere.
"Don't even bother trying to leave ladies" is obviously not what I was saying, and you know that.

Oh I missed that, thanks. Wow, what a dumb requirement! Glad you are on the other side of that.
Congrats! That has to feel amazing.
If it's alright for me to ask, could you say more about the chromosome test? I'm wondering why they wanted to do that.
Yeah the analogy falls apart, my bad. I guess the point I was trying to make is better put another way.
Many women are subject to some sort of physical abuse. For some, they have a partner who gives them bruises or worse whenever they are angry. Other women may have been slapped open handed once over the course of a 10 year relationship. Both of these things are bad, obviously.
Some women have been thoroughly educated on what to do in an abusive relationship. Some women have been taught their husbands are superior to them in a relationship and must be submitted to. People are equipped differently to handle things based on their upbringing and life experience.
Implying that every woman regardless of their background or relationship situation is giving permission to their spouse to continue being violent if they don't immediately leave is absolutely victim blaming. Like, you're right that they should leave. No one who cares about these women would say they should stay. Despite people like you and me telling them to leave their unsafe households, they keep staying. They keep dying.
Think of the cops responding to reports of violence, then leaving with nothing to show for it. Would this make the husband more likely to keep acting violent? Would it cast doubt on the wife's mind whether she was crazy? Maybe she routinely saw her mother struck by her father, and just accepted it. Maybe her husband apologized profusely and promised to never do it again, and again and again. Maybe she is financially dependent on her husband. Maybe dozens of other things, depending on which headline we are talking about.
Of course we both agree she should have left, but framing it as her giving permission for the violence to continue and escalate helps no one, especially not the victims. Police should take these reports more seriously. Abusers should not be given systematic reinforcment for their behavior. Families and friends should intervene when safety is compromised. This isn't because victims are helpless and can't do anything, but rather because they are often too close to the situation to be able to help themselves in time.
People need each other, let's not try to isolate them when they are most vulnerable.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, "Join our Discord". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme's genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools..
The US used over 3.6 million gigawatts hours of energy in 2020. If you round down, and assume no increase in the last 4 years, that's over 9800 per day. 30 is a drop in the bucket. We have combined cycle natural gas plants, along with other green options to pick up for dips in production exactly like this.
A better question is how much energy we gain from solar if losing it for a couple hours once a decade or so is such a big deal.
Less, "blissfully unaware," more, "generally apathetic because I didn't realise I had a dark cloud contaminating the positive experiences in my life."
A lot of the flavor of onions is released when their cell membranes are broken, so the way you cut them does change the flavor. Some cuts like minced are better for sautéing, since it will infuse more with the oil.
