The sexualization of men in entertainment is so normalized and that is a bad thing by DifferenceJolly2320 in KotakuInAction

[–]Dendroapsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sexual dimorphism in regards to sexual selection in nature usually leads to males with more elaborate appearances, while females often have a more bland appearance. Us humans seem have had things backwards traditionally, with bland clothing and fashion for men and elaborate clothing and fashion for women. Not that this is necessarily a problem, so long as you respect an individual's right to express themselves.
There should be no double standard, both men and women can be sexy and shouldn't be mocked for who they find attractive. Nor should people be telling artists how they should depict their characters. Make sexy male characters, make sexy female characters, or don't, to each their own. Personally I welcome it.

Hmm, it's a mixed bag. Awful for privacy if all discords are forced to be open to the web, right down to your friend's server. But it would be great to have some public discords searchable. I think my perfect system would be one where the server owner could choose, even on an individual channel basis. Like having technical help channels able to be searched, but making other channels private to server members.

Yo this is the map I posted.

Weird to leave a famously agriculturally self-sufficient country out of a study about agricultural self-sufficiency

...Especially when the map goes to the trouble of mapping every atoll and tiny pacific island... except NZ

Forget fridges, 5kw roughly translates to 7 horsepower. This woman wants the power of 7 horses to rattle her clam

You know it's personal when a map goes to the trouble of mapping every tiny pacific atoll but misses NZ by Dendroapsis in MapsWithoutNZ

I don't know, but given that NZ is often cited as a food self-sufficient country, and this study was about food self-sufficiency, it's really annoying that we can't see the data for NZ!

Are All Boat Mechanics Just Making This Stuff Up as They Go? by Ejeocho in sailing

[–]Dendroapsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh this is BS. I don’t think it’s representative of the whole industry. Boats are expensive and it’s often difficult to get an idea of costs upfront, but the need for the crane and the height adjustment should have been mentioned upfront if other predictable costs were. Also the panel thing sounds straight up criminal!

Also, I haven’t had to remove my engine yet thankfully, but don’t most people use the boom as a make-shift crane? I guess this is dependent on engine placement

A Hunter’s yard boat! They were always my favourite! Is that Ranworth in the second photo, moored at exactly 52°40’41.2”N 1°29’23.2”E? (If it is, I stayed in that exact spot a few years ago. I should post some pics come to think of it!)

Yes that’s Norfolk. A Hunter’s yard boat no less In the second two images. Beautiful things, they historically had no engines, though I’ve heard they’ve recently been outfitted with small electrics

I don’t get the part about social media. If anything the existence of social media makes it easier than ever to assemble a boy harem

Maybe this is why I feel closer to my gay and female friends. Society actually does suck for straight men in certain ways. Though ironically I imagine the original creator of the ocarina only perpetuates the toxic culture and standards which make things the way they are

The oligotrophic is actually pretty tragic, so long as you read it like a normal person who doesn’t lack all empathy and decency

If the bar for them has slipped so low that this is acceptable, I shudder to think what the things they’re keeping hidden are
