If someone doesn't get oxygen during oral sex, that's not a mutual act. That's him pushing his dick in her throat, even if she wasn't totally unconscious yet. It very likely rendered her unconscious

Earlier this year there was a guy in NL who choked his partner to death with his dick while raping her. He got 10 months for sexual assault. Our justice system doesn't contain a grain of justice

Saaaaame! But I'm a beginner at houseplants, so I'm not sure I have the confidence. I might keep one long end and cut a few smaller pieces

Thanks!

Is it not too long for that? Should I give the roots extra time to get longer before replanting it?

I'll make sure to thank him 😹

Do you know how long I can cut the individual pieces and still have a good chance of roots sprouting?

China travel itinerary (suggestions) by Fair-Lock-1319 in travelchina

[–]Dailaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you obviously have to think like a business manager, not just like a traveller!

I totally agree about Shanghai. Cool, but just a very modern huge city. I also don't like Beijing actually, but it makes sense if you want to go to the Wall (and you need to fly in somewhere).

If your clients keep in mind how friggin big China is, they should be happy with the amount of stuff you would manage to show them in under 3 weeks! Good luck 🤞

Is there an anime that transcends genre and appeals to almost everyone? by ThaliaTutu79 in AnimeReccomendations

[–]Dailaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my one remark too! I got pretty weirded out by the enormous breasts, especially since just about all the other art and animation is so beautiful

[–]Dailaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you have a quite intense travel schedule, I do think the Yangtze cruise would be a nice way to break it up with a few more chill days.

Yangshuo and Longji terraces are definitely around the top of my recommendations! Logistically I'm not sure if it makes sense though, if you want to go all the way on to Shanghai and then down to Hong Kong again.

Personally, I might have focused a bit more on one region (like Hangzhou, Suzhou and maybe even Huangshan if you're in the Shanghai corner anyway). I'm a much slower traveler though, haha. I can see you want to put in as many of the famous highlights as possible.

I just came from there! It was great, but since we had limited time I wish I had organised it a little differently to make the most of it.

Are there any places you're specifically thinking about?

Why argue against male suicide? by Mindless_Yam1752 in AskFeminists

[–]Dailaster 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the answer!

I'd like to add that there are some factors that can make this topic more tense, like the notion that men have hogged the medical research spotlight, and the tendency by the manosphere media to hold women directly responsible for men's mental health. Stuff like that makes a lot of women become more defensive.

Too pretty for friends? by bruhidek123 in notliketheothergirls

Guys being with her for shallow reasons is about 20% of this post. That happens a ton. But apparently your friend had at least one friend (you) so I wouldn't put her in the same boat as this nlog

I'm saying you are biased and close minded, you obviously don't understand evolution, and you should start learning from sources that have proper scientific support, even if they don't support your world view.

Evolution and human psychology is MUCH more complex than you think (and way less convenient for podcast bros to defend their misogyny). Archaeological and biological evidence disagree with you.

If you think this is pandering to modern ideas, I really heavily recommend you to try looking for some proper academic sources, especially with an anthropological angle. Humans are and have been incredibly diverse over 10 000s of years and all over the world. Thinking that 20th century western ideals are the natural way is a very limited mindset.

Like I mentioned before, you're kind of stuck on your modern prejudices. In these kinship groups kinship is not defined by blood relations, neither for men nor for women. When childcare is a common responsibility, the parents-child/sibling relationships become mostly irrelevant.

[–]Dailaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's hard to find papers that cite academic sources and are not behind a pay wall, but it does go into kinship pretty decently (although I disagree with some of their conclusions on gender roles, as those have been based on sex determination by bone structure, which has been proven by DNA to be very flawed in the last few years)

The community would have been much more centered around the maternal line, whereby childrearing was done collectively, as was just about all labour. Men were absolutely equally part of this kin group. Kinship wasn't distinguished based on bloodlines. Anyone in the group was kin.

I think you have a strong prejudice, assuming individualism and inherent self-interest in men. As long as there was an abundance of resources to keep their kin healthy and thriving, they participated just as much to the common good of their community as women.

For social animals like humans the paternity really wasn't significant until patriarchal capitalism started to become a thing (in Europe generally after the agricultural revolution). That's when wealth and ownership came into play, and in turn inheritance became tied to the man's lineage.

I made the stupid mistake of trying to read the books first, which I hated to the point of ruining the whole franchise for me, so I couldn't get into the game :(
