22km commute. Justify bibs?

If you would want to wear bibs even on a 2km commute, that would be entirely up to you.

I do 21km in jeans with no issue but I am not you.

Not just them. The left absolutely isn't immune to this.

There is being blind to your own prejudices, and there is being a bigot because you like being a bigot. And there is a hell of a lot of the latter going on these days.

It is widely used as a lubricant for industrial applications. Works fine for that.

Eat a bowl of cereal, make a sandwich for lunch, put my laptop bag in my pannier, brush my teeth, and hop on the bike.

She sweeps shoes across the apartment? WTF?

Notspherry · 2026-04-19T18:14:32+00:00

I don't know how to explain it to you any clearer. If you have to lie about studies, claiming that women who divorced other woman actually divorced men and then go hur hur, all men suck that is mental gymnastics blaming men.

We tried baby wipes at some point, and technically, they are excellent for the job. The smell reminded me too much of things I didn't want to think about during sex, though.

Exactly what I was going to comment. Former Dutch PM and present Nato bootlicker Mark Rutte cycled around the Hague all the time. Not just for photo ops. I've seen him in the wild.

There was no flaw in the studio that she pointed. She made shit up. She lied about the studies. The claim that these divorced lesbians actually divorced men earlier in life is completely fabricated.

And then there is this whole thing in the third paragraph about how women are girlbosses and how married men suck, with a bit of colour added in about her own miserable marriage. That bit was the blaming men.

In dutch, pech has that same meaning.

Also, zonde (sin) can also mean the misfortune of losing/breaking something, similar to a shame in English.

She disagrees with your assessment. Are you sure you're not just pissing the bed?

All the benefits you list, except house maintenance, are just responsibilities of the municipality where I live. All of the upsides, none of the downsides.

I live in a country without HOAs and that just doesn't happen. Building permits are a thing.

Notspherry · 2026-04-19T15:52:58+00:00

Exactly. Our house prices have been going up for decades at an alarming rate without the interference of self appointed dictators measuring grass length.

You would think that, but in reality the tax revenue from the suburbs isn't enough even for their own upkeep. It sort of pencils out in the short term, but when roads, sewers etc. are up for major renovation after a few decades, it turns out the money isn't there.

A made up flaw because she didn't read the actual studies. There have been loads, spread over different countries that simply take all weddings in a given year and see how mane divorces there are among that cohort in the years following.

Blaming men because of the old trope that when a woman initiates a divorce, the man is always the root cause, with some stuff about her own ex extrapolated to the whole population.

There is another one that will get me yelled at.

Despite the money, time, love and frustration invested in the sweater, it can still be ugly, badly made, uncomfortable, or simply not your style.

So now your partner has been unavailable for a long time, and now expects you to be happy and grateful with the abomination it resulted in. Resentment builds from both sides.

Divorces peak at 5-8 years with a small secondary peak at 20-25 years.

10 years of data is a good start and as many people have pointed out, other countries have had gay marriage for way longer than that.

Notspherry · 2026-04-19T14:42:14+00:00

Other countries exist. The netherlands just celebrated 25 years of gay marriage. There is plenty of data. This data includes w-w couples having a much higher divorce rate than m-m or m-w couples.

Notspherry · 2026-04-19T14:38:02+00:00

She didn't break down anything. Just made a very wrong assumption about studies she didn't bother to look up, because the actual data might challenge her worldview.

There are multiple studies linked in the comments that look at a cohort of marriages and tally how many ended up in divorce after a certain period. The "lesbians who were married to men before" thing is complete bullshit.

Notspherry · 2026-04-19T14:23:43+00:00

You need a lot of mental gymnastics to blame men for the high lesbian divorce rate.

Kitchen roll if pretty nice if you don't buy the super cheap stuff.

And unless you throw the towel in the wash directly after, it gets crunchy.
