The law in my state defines ageism as discriminating against people over forty.

Fun fact! I complained at a job once because I was up for promotion and instead they hired a 22 year old with no experience vs my 11 years experience in the field and my boss accused me, a 35 year old, of ageism against this 22 year old person.

Funner fact! It wasn’t actually ageism on my part but sexism on their part, because I happen to be a 35 year old woman and they chose to hire a 22 year old boy to be my boss. Then they asked me to train him. Then they fired me.

It was very fun to read, but I never would have looked it up. Thank you!

Great suggestions from others about the coconut milk. I think your idea to add citrus is great. I just want to chime in because I have made acidifide milk in a pinch when I didn’t have buttermilk by putting a tablespoon of vinegar in a cup of milk, so that might work in the coconut milk to achieve the buttermilk effect. You might want the citrus for flavor, I’m just posing an alternative.

Have fun and good luck!

This has nothing to do with the original concept/internet meme of “girl dinner”, this is just salad and fries. Girl dinner is like… six olives and an entire sleeve of crackers with peanut butter directly out of the jar. Girl dinner is three slices of cheddar cheese, and an entire bag of baby carrots with hummus. If you have the emotional capacity to cook fries and mix a salad, that is not girl dinner, thats just dinner. This is capitalism using buzzwords without understanding what they’re saying and I’m irrationally annoyed by this one in particular because I fucking love Girl Dinner.

That is all. Hope your next meal is delicious and fulfilling xoxo

You might need a new therapist, which is okay. I haven’t been to therapy in over a decade, but when I used to go, I used to do things like this, and my therapist would interrupt and say “it sounds like you’re deflecting, do you think there’s a reason for that?” and try to get me to go in a different direction.

Just some unsolicited advice, have a good day xo

Hot take: I want us all to be assigned chromosomes at birth for medical reasons, and then just have it not be a thing that gets talked about outside of medical situations. I read somewhere (and I’m saying this without a source for now) that as we advance genetic science, it’s turning out that a much larger percentage of people are intersex, or at least some variation of chromosomes other than xx or xy. So like, get that test at birth and then have your chromosomes as a part of your medical file so a Dr knows how to treat your body. Like blood type. And then, trans-ness is such a small percentage of people that most xx’s will still want to be little girls and most xy’s will still want to be little boys, but the pressure to fit in a box will start to fade, and the idea that there even is a binary will just go away, because its already not true. No more “its a boy, it’s a girl” bullshit, just “we had a healthy baby! They will develop into a kind and honest person one day, because we will raise them that way. We will be happy if they are an Olympic figure skater, or an archeologist, or a janitor, as long as they are happy and safe!”

Connecticut is the best tho

That’s what I was thinking, these sentences could just be combined. “I played with my friend’s toy in their colon.”

This thread so far has been about extra judicial killing, but can vigilantism encompass less drastic actions? Do you think it is fair to say that the reaction on Reddit/Lemmy every time “the rapist Brock Allen Turner” is mentioned falls under the third type of vigilantism, in the sense that he recieved a light consequence compared to the acts he was proved to have committed? Is the social backlash and the (imo deserved) chorus of “oh the rapist?” in response to his name a form of societal vigilantism?

I appreciate your thoughtful and nuanced post in this volatile thread. Your last sentence immediately made me think of that guy that raped a girl behind a dumpster and then got let off because a judge thought consequences might damage his future. I don’t think anyone should kill him, but I’m happy he doesn’t get any peace on the internet, and i wish he was in jail.

Oh i hate that, do you want me to come over and beat him up? Wanna come have a sleep over? We can bake cookies and watch tv and you can meet my cats.

xoxo I’m not kidding ♡

I don’t think he’s funny and I actually think he’s kind of a weenie and I don’t like him very much as a person, but I actively watched his return episode and now I let his show run in the background to boost viewership.

Don’t really know how else to participate in the revolution, I’m pretty useless, but if I can contribute to trump having a tempertantrum, that’s wonderful !

I do not have the means to donate to things that I care about. Most weeks, the difference between overdrafting my bank account or not is literally a few cents. I donate the $3.10 every time the pop up shows up on Wikipedia. I’m sure there are other organizations that need the money more, but I think Wikipedia is SO important, and so far has remained earnest in their behavior. Proud of you for donating what you could, glad I could help a little bit too.

Be well, friend

I’m actually so excited for the apocalypse because all the people that want to get raptured will go away and everyone left behind can finally start fixing the planet and being kind to one and other

The first time someone explained this to me and showed me how to invert controls, it changed my life and made video games more enjoyable (I’m mostly a PC gamer out of convenience but prefer a console/controller). I recently played the ff7 remake and forgot that I could invert controls and was about to quit playing until I remembered I could invert. “Standard” controls don’t make sense to me and kinda make me dizzy or seasick.

This is why I love the sims, I get obsessed for x amount of time. I go to work if I have to, but then I’ll play sims every other second I can, I’ll even bring the laptop into the bathroom with me. Won’t sleep, won’t cook, won’t shower, etc. And then… all of a sudden, mid game even, I’m just… done. For months. Or years. And it’s a sandbox game, it’s literally digital barbies, so I can just stop and start over with a whole new game later. If im playing a more traditional game, I NEED to 100% it. I NEED a walk through to make sure I don’t make any wrong choices, it almost takes some of the fun out of it, so I don’t play those kinds that often (my roommate recently let me play Spiritfarer on her console, she had 40hrs and 98% and was like "its not important to the story and i cant find the last one… I got to 100% after 84 hours. We are not the same)

Butts. Seriously. But no one ever knows what im asking for, so then I say “the cube, the brick, the chargey part…with a usb please”

I don’t think I made it up, but literally no one else ever seems to call them that, so idk where I heard it.

The only star wars media I’ve ever seen was the mandalorian, I’ve never seen any of the main movies and stuff, so feel free to make fun of this answer. What I’ve gathered from context clues is that they’re like the Quakers and they just adopt. Then Mando met that single mom on that wet planet and I was kinda hoping he’d abandon his mission, take off his helmet, and just get with her and they’d raise her son and his green baby like step bros and have the perfect lil blended happy family.

2 flower dads in front (adopted dad + step dad)

Bio dad and bride (if she has a good relationship with him and wants that)

2 flower dads in back (other adopted dad + step dad)

Or make them all sit and let bio mom do it, if bride’s relationship with bio mom is good.

But I like the planenquine suggestion from the meme best, she should do that. When else will she have a chance to do that?

I love to send and recieve “ugly” or silly pics with my friends and lovers, that doesn’t mean I want them posted on the internet. Idk this girl, we’re not friends irl, maybe she’s fine with it. If someone that I trusted and loved posted a picture of me making a face like the face the girl in this picture is making, mid sentence, with my eyebrows furrowed and my tongue looking weird like I’m in the middle of a word, I would be really embarassed, especially if it then got memeified and shared over and over and over again.

This is not a criticism of the girl in the picture whatsoever. Anyone saying “this is a great picture!” is being ingenuine on purpose. She’s a pretty girl. This is a bad picture of her. Both can be true.

Also this is not meant to be an aggressive comment! But the internet takes things too seriously sometimes.

Whatever! Have a great day! May all your photos be stunners! xoxo
