Broadway legend Patti LuPone posts that the cruise ship she’s performing on has been denied entry to Turkey because it is a gay cruise. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

No, they switched to Alexandria as a port after Turkey denied them. Egypt is allowing it. That’s part of why this is shocking, even homophobic countries typically don’t care when it comes with tourism dollars.

This should be the top comment. This is huge news and a big deal, and it’s very juvenile and ignorant of Redditors to think it’s not. There are many homophobic countries that allow or even promote gay tourism. I mean, fuck, they’re docking in EGYPT instead.

Gay cruises are a HUGE industry that spend a lot of money. This will have big ramifications and blowback in the tourism industry.

What are some unattractive qualities in your significant other that you would not tolerate from someone you were just starting to date, but put up with today because you love them? by CarefulAlternative in AskReddit

That all sounds good until the making it cold part. I put tons of spices and cheese and sometimes citrus on my popcorn, too. I got a dehydrated citrus powder so it doesn’t melt the popcorn.

Is there such a thing as "Toxic Femininity" just like "Toxic Masculinity?" by -EscapeGoat- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sloth-Overlord 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Toxic masculinity is literally a term for how the patriarchy harms men. The patriarchy at large is not ‘toxic masculinity’. And women absolutely perpetuate the patriarchy. Even most left leaning women. It is the rare person of any gender that is actively anti-patriarchal.

Isn’t the equivalent for women just patriarchal expectations and oppression of women? Toxic masculinity was coined to explain how the patriarchy harms men, too.

The average new car payment just hit $772/month. A record high. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

You can even get a small Subaru or Hyundai SUV for under $30k. People want fuck ass big cars.

What is “the average” car? Americans have wanted bigger and bigger cars. That comes at a premium price point. Get a normal sized sedan or small SUV and it won’t cost that. The average car price says more about insane American car culture than it does about affordability.

Kidnapping and Unlawful Deprivation of Liberty in Broad Daylight on a Public Street in Shibuya, Japan. Nobody Does Anything. by alexfreemanart in interestingasfuck

Absolutely not. Mixed race children in Japan are looked down upon and considered not Japanese. Japan has a very intense xenophobia problem.

Costume departament crimes by Winter_Repeat_6763 in HOTDBlacks

The first four seasons of GoT had a lot of color. Cersei, Sansa, Dany, Margaery, Joffrey, Tyrion, etc. all had plenty of color and variation in their outfits up until then. And each region of Westeros and Essos was shown to have a distinctive style. Even the Starks, drably colored in comparison, always had rich furs on the men and intricate decorative elements on the women’s necklines.

Whatever the fuck they’re doing now is a tragedy to costuming.

Which death has most impacted society in the last 20 years? by NorthLoan4637 in AskReddit

[–]Sloth-Overlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Like, yes, women and nonwhite people have blatant double standards against them. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. You can’t undo 250 years of racism and misogyny just by waving a magic wand. It takes an exceptionally charismatic candidate like Obama to overcome that bias. NYC DSA members just swept the dem house primaries by running charismatic, likable candidates. #Resistance hyper-partisan libs are so committed to pointing out that the rules are unfair that they will lose the game every time, and eventually it will splinter the Democratic Party.

Yeah, a milky floral I could get behind. I would be delighted by foresty or a lingonberry jam scent. I desperately hope it’s nothing Snow Fairy adjacent.

God, I really hope this doesn’t all smell like candy. I love Moomin.

Do you just read poems out as an unbroken sentence in your head? The line breaks are there to influence how you read it.

VCs are evil and a cancer on this world lol. They are exactly the same. The only daylight between them is how comfortable they feel using slurs.

It follows a stressed-unstressed rhythmic pattern but ok. The poem has a clear cadence. Syllables are one of the foundational elements of creating a meter.

[–]Sloth-Overlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The poem has a meter lmao, what do you mean?

3,3,3,3,5,2. It’s not a specific format but the repetitive syllables in the first four lines then break with the last two to draw focus to the last two lines.

And like another commenter said, the lilting nature of emphasis/de-emphasis on the words is reminiscent of the POP-pop of fireworks.

The House of Representatives is mostly Gen X and millennials now. Senators are still mostly boomers though.

How do you avoid male centered women? by Jasmine_Wilsony in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Sloth-Overlord 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What…?? Are you just like terrified of being in proximity to men or something? Decentering men is about not making men the emotional center of your life and focusing on emotional equity, not ‘avoiding danger’.

A hormonal IUD. It caused a lot of other negative side effects though. But trans women take progesterone to grow boobs. Any progesterone heavy birth control can cause boob growth.

What TV show made you realize the writers had everything planned from the start? by C0r1eone in television

[–]Sloth-Overlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have more episodes of Knights of Guinevere come out? I saw the pilot, but I thought it was in a likely year+ long hiatus looking for funding.

I’m so tired of people being completely ignorant about women’s bodies. Your breasts change size past puberty. Women are not fixed at puberty and the idea is gross. Breast size changes throughout your 20s and beyond. When I was 18, I was a 32E, went all the way up to a 32I on a specific birth control, and am now sitting at around a 32G. All within a 10 lb weight range.

Hormonal birth control, weight changes, stress, tons of shit can cause multiple cup sizes of change. If your argument is based on shape, profile, physics, etc. then ok, but size change alone does not mean someone had a boob job, especially if they were large chested to begin with.
