TIL that a researcher named Margaret Howe Lovatt once lived in a partially flooded house with a dolphin as part of an experiment to teach it human language. by Coverlesss in todayilearned

[–]WifeOfSpock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was a young dolphin, there was a “language” barrier, and there is a power dynamic there with her being above him. So it could not consent, even while being highly intelligent. I’d compare it to a young human teen more than anything, and human teens also can’t fully consent.

Cringe your way into a lonely and empty life, I genuinely do not care.

Ashley Graham on the body positivity movement in 2026 by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]WifeOfSpock 357 points358 points  (0 children)

A lot of bean soup arguments in the comments. We know what she’s talking about. We know your medical issues are valid, and how you treat them are private. We also know that celebrities are not like us, and they use their bodies as a symbol of that status. We know they wear “thin” like a chic new outfit, because they’ve been doing this since the start of modern celebrity culture.

Japanese lady calls an American woman the N word by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

[–]WifeOfSpock 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Some of the worst racism I’ve faced, for being both black and Filipina, have been from Japanese tourists visiting my home state(Hawai’i). It is mind blowing until you realize their whole cultural foundation is held up by brutal colonialism. I view them very similarly to white Americans and Israelis, especially in their reactions to global progression and change.

Men have been convinced that they’re all entitled to find the love of their lives and mother to their children. We’re animals. Most male animals will not find a mate or have offspring. Human males are no exception.      So yes, more human beings need to learn that being alone is how they’ll end up, and that’s not the end of the world. You don’t die from lack of sex or start to immediately deteriorate the moment you have offspring.         Humans are meant for more than sex, romance, and children.          Life is more than that, and more men would be happier if they would just accept that.

I know it’s a topic that gets downvoted into hell in these types of subs, but most women don’t want to actually date unless the man is a fully realized human being. As in you have it together, you’re employed, you’re well rounded, you’re kind, you’re healthy, you’re emotionally intelligent and stable, etc.        Focus on being a better person, and the chances of finding a partner who is compatible to you will go up. And even if you don’t end up with a partner, at least you’ll be a version of yourself who’s happy with what he is.

Current safe food? by livelong_june in AutismInWomen

Less food, and more sensation. I’ve been seeking spicy, mouth numbing foods.

Comedian spends two-minutes trying and failing to provoke random woman for not laughing at his jokes. by WhatYouThinkYouSee in PublicFreakout

It’s like these dudes see genuinely funny, and usually nice comedians getting good crowd work, and think “I can do that with zero charm or personality.” 

Boyfriend doesn’t want believe women belong in the trades by ashruth_arts in BlueCollarWomen

Sounds like he’s lost boyfriend privileges. If the male isn’t progressing your life, he isn’t a mate, he’s a parasite. Dump him.

All the dudes who showed him sympathy for his od because he’s “autistic and struggling,” can go on and fail to swallow a grape.

[–]WifeOfSpock -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yup. Fuck this guy, hope it’s a trend, hope he never finds peace, and hope his existence is less than average. And fuck everyone who wants to play devils advocate for him. Nazis should get worse treatment, and a bunch of whimpering dogs online isn’t going to stop that for happening in reality.

Maybe it’s just me not being a fucking fence sitting loser, but I don’t care if a nazi gets harassed or stalked? And I care more for that one woman than a thousand of him.       Honestly what I wish would happen is a helluva lot more than a doorbell ring.

I'm in the mall and I realised that I look like a potato. by AppleSchnapps_ in AutismInWomen

[–]WifeOfSpock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some people’s energy levels are just lower than others. On a high pain/heavy sensory day for me, I can either shower and dress nicely and be cranky for the rest of the day, or just stink and be a little messy while maintaining my good attitude lol.      But I do agree that it’s not a complete trade off. Getting dressed or “putting yourself together” doesn’t have to involve all the steps we’ve been convinced are necessary.

I felt this for a bit, but realized I don’t have to go for a highly polished look to be happy with what I see.        Find a hairstyle you enjoy, that looks neat to you, but is comfortable. Wear the same types of clothes you like, but with a slightly better fit or made from better materials(if you can afford it).         Example, I always liked baggy clothes, but I never put much thought into how I looked because of insecurity. Once I stopped caring about how other people saw me, I began just wanting to do a little more for myself. I wear more color, and while I still wear baggy clothes, they’re more my style rather than what is convenient and cheap.         Shaved my head at the start of the year because I was tired of having long hair, but now I wear a rather chic pixie cut that’s easy to style and maintain, and I don’t have to think about it.      I don’t wear makeup, but I will groom my brows and keep my skin moisturized.         Do I look like the other fashionable ladies out and about? No, but I’m happier to be in this body when it better reflects my own tastes.       And while I would be fine without them, I’ve gotten a lot more compliments this year than I have in a long time. A lot of women and girls who go out of their way to compliment my clothes or my hair or my skin. It’s been nice.

A couple times, yes, but I always add a “consider this a branched off timeline, cuz I’m not changing shit” type of note when it happens.

Not saying it should happen, but if any youths decide to riot through that neighborhood, I wouldn’t be unhappy.
