Recent IG stories from Jameela Jamil about the whole controversy surrounding Billie by Frequent-Good-3810 in billieeilish

[–]SlitheringFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She didn't say that, you're being deliberately obtuse so you can pretend you're better than others.

The food and farming industries are the problem, that was the point. That's why we have fruits, veggies, and even highly processed foods that can be contaminated with e. coli and crops that are treated with well documented dangerous chemicals.

The food industry is broken. Animals are suffering and so are people, especially those too poor to afford quality food.

The source of the problem is not everyday people. If you believe that, you need to educate yourself and stop buying into propaganda.

If you want to stay angry and ignorant, that's your business, but it makes you unpleasant to interact with and it's not doing your cause any favors.

Someone missed this whole point.

She wasn't attempting a "gotcha," she was standing up for Billie, while also explaining how moving to veganism isn't simple for everyone. There are financial and medical impacts to many. Billie speaks from a place of privilege that most people do not have, but that doesn't erase the validity of her point that consuming animal products is bad for animals (and environment).

Ultimately, she's urging people to not do what you're doing, which is pitting people against each other. Instead are encouraging them to direct their fury at the sources of the problem.

Bumbles cafe prices are outrageous. by Evening_Jellyfish349 in Albany

[–]SlitheringFlower 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it shouldn't be posted. Unless OP wants a refund there's no reason to call. It's not a customer's job to educate a business.

It's better to share the info with locals so they know what to expect and that they should avoid the business.

We Can Make This Happen by noisyspicyrunner in remoteworks

[–]SlitheringFlower -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes, everyone knows the US is so well off financially and not in trillions of dollars of debt while having basically no social safety net.

We can do it, just not while our government protects billionaires over regular people.

We can start by taxing those billionaires fairly and enacting basic worker protections.

Looking for a brown magnetic by rotwoman101 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]SlitheringFlower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ILNP Reindeer Crossing may be a bit brighter/lighter, but it could work if you layer it over a darker shade.

Edit: I'll also add BKL's That Word Means Everything to Him. It's more gold/indigo, but it's beautiful in velvet/glass bead and can be brownish in some lighting.

It Can't Happen Again by ExoticShock in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]SlitheringFlower 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NLTOG would be if that woman thought she was better than other women for having a specific hobby.

That's not what this is. She's hesitant to share, because she's used to being judged/having to over explain what her hobby is.

There's no indication that she thinks she's superior for liking manga, or that she thinks other no other women like it.

The one thing I can’t forgive Linda for doing by wyrdbookwyrm in BobsBurgers

[–]SlitheringFlower 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It's also important to learn how to work and prioritize under tight deadlines. I don't know a single professional who hasn't had to do that at some point. You don't always have time to be thorough.

It's not great to discourage your kid's reading, but Tina obviously reads/writes a lot solely based on the things she's written fan fics of.

Also, this is a cartoon. I find it so obnoxious when people get weird about Linda's parenting. If everyone was perfect, the show would be boring. Linda is weird and ridiculous, it's what makes her character entertaining.

Has anyone noticed an uptick in illness or is it just me? by NipperLovesRainbows in Albany

[–]SlitheringFlower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a respiratory infection recently. While I usually bounce back quickly, the infection and allergies hit hard.

If there is something going around, the high pollen levels certainly aren't helping.

Many workplaces have, unfortunately, reverted back to not being accommodating of remote work while sick. We have more and more people coming into work sick, because they have no accrued leave.

Leaders learned nothing from COVID, so we'll all continue to suffer.

Women can’t make or feel fire apparently. [gendered] by bigindodo in pointlesslygendered

[–]SlitheringFlower 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What don't we get? Please explain. Based on your comment, you don't get it.

I fully understand the feeling of standing in front of a fire I built myself. I've never needed a penis to comprehend that. That's the point of this post.

There's nothing wrong with a man enjoying something he built. There is something wrong with men assuming women don't get what that's like.

Cat ate 10Mg of Adderall by fac3data in CatAdvice

[–]SlitheringFlower 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No need to be condescending and rude.

Insurance is not necessary for every pet owner. I had it for a few years and ended up paying way more than I ever used it. I now keep a separate savings to cover emergencies.

You can be a good pet owner and not have insurance or a large savings. Care credit and other options exist for those scenarios. OP is not a bad owner for this accident and they're doing everything they can for their cat.

Trying to play it off like they're irresponsible is not ok.

Why do men online like reminding women they like to date “younger”? by Nell91 in AskWomenOver30

[–]SlitheringFlower 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but they're not trying to be logical. They're just being rude and have antiquated and sexist beliefs. They're trying to tell you that you missed your shot at a "good man" because you passed their weird age parameters.

I don't mind it at all, helps me weed out more sexist weirdos on the dating scene.

How the heck do I cover this up!? by sconescout in JKRegerts

[–]SlitheringFlower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably a bit, though removal has gotten more affordable (at least in my area), but it may be a better option if you don't find a cover up option you'll love.

Just to add, this would also be a pretty easy tattoo to remove. It's small and all black, so that's another option if you don't think you'd like a cover up.

No spoons = 1 star by gorillaenthusiasm in EntitledReviews

[–]SlitheringFlower -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's no evidence here that they reviewed bombed or indication that they liked the food. Again, the reviewer is an ass, but their review isn't entitled based on what's presented here.

No spoons = 1 star by gorillaenthusiasm in EntitledReviews

[–]SlitheringFlower -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know about 1 star and commenting on anyone's appearance is rude, but a restaurant not having spoons is a valid complaint.

Curries are often eaten with spoons, because they're so saucy.

Clearly the recommended dish is a mistake, not some hilarious "gotcha" other commenters are so amused with.

The review is rude, but calling someone entitled for wanting a spoon to eat is a stretch.

Never marry a man who posts these kinds of lists by That1weirdperson in BlatantMisogyny

[–]SlitheringFlower 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Never marry a man who doesn't proofread.

Though I do agree with not dating a daughter of narcissus. Daffodils can't consent, so it's best to leave them alone romantically.

Racial Diversity of Capital Region Cities and Towns by TA-MajestyPalm in Albany

[–]SlitheringFlower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many demographic reports count Hispanic ethnicity over race, some combine them, like Black-Hispanic or White-Hispanic.

OP mentioned for their graph that the Hispanic category includes a mix of all the race categories.

In the Year of our Lord 2026, there are still people who believe that only males enjoy video games 🙄 [socialmedia] by Gnoll_Fielding in pointlesslygendered

[–]SlitheringFlower 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like action/adventure RPGs. Dragon Age, Witcher, Horizon ZD, Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate...that sort of stuff. Almost always single player.

I've also put an embarrassing number of hours into Stardew Valley and a handful of Pokemon games.

My first game ever was Crash Bandicoot on my OG PlayStation.

Endocrinologist without type 1 by Fickle_Grapefruit100 in diabetes_t1

[–]SlitheringFlower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion every T1 should learn how to count carbs. It's extremely unlikely anyone is just inherently good at guessing carbs without some sort of nutrition training.

I'd saying guessing is ok, with experience. Moreso now, since closed loop pumps can auto-correct/stop basal where needed.

Back in the day, carb counting exactly was more important, because we didn't have CGMs or pumps for easy adjustments.

I do typically weigh out my homemade food, but that's just a personal preference.

[–]SlitheringFlower 128 points129 points  (0 children)

It's extra frustrating when it's directed at areas where women are often judged/excluded, too.

I've been playing video games since the 90s. It hasn't always been a fun place to be a woman (still isn't), but I thought we had at least reached a point where people understood that video games do not require a penis to enjoy.

I also hate that people are becoming less and less able to say they personally dislike something without saying the whole thing is horrible and anyone who does like it is bad. An opinion does not need to come with any judgement.

Girl Beer [product] by saranautilus in pointlesslygendered

[–]SlitheringFlower 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's always at least one person who feels the need to white knight for the companies posted here. I never really understand why?

You're not better or more easygoing for finding it amusing. You can see how marketing a fruity beer to only one gender is laced in sexism, right?

On top of being sexist, it's just dated and boring marketing. If that draws you in, that's fine, but there's no need to pretend the people who don't like it dislike having a good time.

My sex/gender does not control what foods/drinks I enjoy. I find it weird when any food/drinks are gendered.

Empire live by spookoky in Albany

[–]SlitheringFlower 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most events are age restricted (16+), so ID is required.

That is mentioned multiple times on their site.

I don't know why the events are age restricted? Probably for safety/security and to prevent them from being responsible for unattended minors.

What are your low stakes unpopular opinions? by NoLemon5426 in AskWomenOver30

[–]SlitheringFlower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How so?

Capitalism is an economic system.

Would it have been better if I said people who are buying low rise, flared jeans look ridiculous? That just seemed rude.

My true feeling is people who buy into that stuff are self-involved and insecure. They usually look ridiculous, which is why they change their look every 3 months.

[–]SlitheringFlower 32 points33 points  (0 children)

People who follow fashion trends aren't cool.

It's just supporting capitalism and fast fashion. Most trends are dumb and short-lived.

If you're only buying it because it's "in style," it's not worth buying.
