There’s a great YA book about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Reversed_Himself?wprov=sfla1

Patriarchy oppresses us all.

There are plenty of women who live like this now. It’s a cultural thing, not a timeline thing. I had a roommate in college who would wake up before dawn to do her makeup so nobody would see her without it.

(Also high society women certainly didn’t make their own breakfasts… well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)

From the video it looks like the plastic rings are casings and the wheels are inside them, and the wheels poke out at the bottom. Seems dumb to me.

You can kind of see it here but it looks like they’re intentionally hiding a good view of it with angles/lighting:

Too bad he took a 19-year-old with him :/

I’m not sure; usually this language is used when someone is convicted, that the sentence they receive from the judge has to fall in that range. I don’t know what “sentenced to 15 years to life” means except that the judge intends that she spend at least 15 years in prison.

I think it’s getting that from a McSweeney’s article: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/faq-the-snake-fight-portion-of-your-thesis-defense

I agree with you completely; I’m surprised that people are upset as well, but there are plenty of people in this thread who feel that the question unreasonably attacks men and is deliberately inflammatory.

Hypothetical question posed to women: would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a man? Many women said “bear”. Many men took that personally.

The whole “they sent me pages and pages of abuse but they won’t tell me why they cut contact!” is wild. You can read. Read.

Cutting off contact isn’t being an enemy. It’s realizing that someone makes your life worse instead of better, and acting accordingly. Sure, if both sides are willing to have calm conversations and work through the issue, they should be able to. But if one side (and this poster sounds like it’s them) digs their heels in and refuses to respect the other, it’s often healthier to cut contact.

There’s an excellent series of posts about it here: https://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/missing-missing-reasons.html

I went to a Christian University and I’m leftist as hell.

The fix is a screw to actually affix the pedal cover to the pedal (instead of just glue). So, yeah, cheap, but probably fixes the problem. (Not the next fatal problem they find though…)

You didn’t read the article. These are images that appeared in the documentary and were not marked as generated. It was implied they were real photos.

If they’re consistently looking down and to the right (for most apps) and not scanning/reading, they’re probably looking at their own video. I’ve certainly noticed it.

Yep. Everybody does. Watch where their eyes are pointing, you can tell. I hide the window on apps that let me (or un-maximize the window and slide it off the screen a bit if I’m on one side).

The bridge in Baltimore collapsing after its pier was hit by a cargo ship.

They work better for podcasts than music. For music, they’re better than a phone speaker but worse than cheapo earbuds in terms of sound quality.
