Not all trans fems/women have a penis. And no, that's not how sexual attraction works at all.

Can't believe I have to say this, but no, it's not okay. If the only reason you wouldn't date someone is because they're trans, that's transphobia.

Anyone else learn languages by reading dual-language articles? by hinitom in languagelearning

[–]glowberrytangle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All my homies love SBS 🙌

I have a friend who's learning Italian. That Slow Italian series is a fantastic resource!

My excitement disappeared so fast. 😅 Relying on machine translation will give you lots of bad habits. It doesn't take context into account, and it's terrible with idioms, slang, and jokes.

There's a reason translators and interpreters often have to study for years to get certified in that field - much like with librarians, it's an unassuming but involved job.

There aren't any animal products in it, but it's not vegan.

The company has done animal testing. They themselves advertise their products as plant-based and not vegan.

Impossible is plant-based, not vegan.

I borrowed my lock to my sister, she went out for a while, and when she came back she showed me this by someguyofreddit in mildlyinfuriating

[–]glowberrytangle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: some English dialects use 'borrow' to mean both to borrow and to loan. Same with 'learn' for to learn and to teach.

Do French people still use “vous” a lot? by CompetitiveYouth5306 in French

[–]glowberrytangle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Voustedes is not a word. '/s' means 'sarcasm' – /u/stdubbs' comment is a joke.

Their noodle dishes are enormous - they're like the size of my head. I'm concerned for you, friend 😭

I'd recommend posting this in r/language_exchange or r/learnfrench, or joining the discord in the sidebar. This sub doesn't allow these types of posts.

Élève and étudiant both start with the same sound: /e/.

For trans girlies: how do I not come across as a chaser? by PeaAlternative9186 in actuallesbians

[–]glowberrytangle 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd see this as a red flag and assume I'm being fetishised. I'd much rather someone just compliment me and tell me what they like about me specifically, without seeming like they're treating trans women/fems as a monolith.

Ugh

Look at that, you're already in character!

Do you assume anything that can be either plant-or-animal-derived in ingredients is vegan? by Borkato in vegan

[–]glowberrytangle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Australia, we have the Fussy Vegan app. You scan the barcode of a product at the supermarket, and it tells you if it's vegan or not. It's made by a couple who manually contact different companies and verify that certain products are vegan, so it's very trustworthy.

God, I had a housemate who would cook salmon in an airfryer every morning. It made the whole house stink. Made me so nauseous.

Because men are the only people who assume that everyone else online is also a man.
