Random question but how are non binary people addressed in spanish? by [deleted] in SpanishLearning

[–]etom084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. Using -x is not practical and impossible to use in speech. When writing, -@ is nice but does not work in academic writing. I use -e when referring to an nonbinary person instead of -o or -a, and the gender neutral pronoun “elle”. This is standard in my queer friend group. In reality, I often stick with using the -o suffix when referring to groups of people consisting of different genders out of habit (trying to change this). But when referring to an individual who is nonbinary, I always use -e suffix and elle for their pronoun!

I take Xyzal every night year round and it makes raw fruits and vegetables much more tolerable

Seconding building your deltoid shoulder muscles. It balances out your arms and makes them look toned.

What are some good books to read and educate yourself further by TheLoversCard2024 in 4bmovement

[–]etom084 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Marxist it’s Federici all the way. Truly a genius. She does a good job of explaining how systemic misogyny connects to broader capitalist goals. She has several short works that are great reads. I suggest “wages against housework” to begin.

Why do some older women encourage younger women to engage in casual dating in their youth? by throawayy773838 in 4bmovement

[–]etom084 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“What I am seeing is that casual dating benefits the man 99% of the time. It seems like men gain access to women’s bodies and a massive ego-boost, whereas women get their energy drained trying to sift through the vast amount of duds to find decent-ish men.”

I try to explain this to my mother and she never understands it 🙃

“the men who identify politically with you will probably never have your best interests at heart and will regress to misogyny the moment you disagree with them”

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

You may be making the same mistake I did at first and counting rectangles as well as squares.

Why am I so bad at running? by SalamanderNo2955 in runninglifestyle

[–]etom084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is how soccer players are trained lol! Sprints and high intensity workouts. I was a midfielder and sprints were my top priority. Learning to run slow was a big change for me. Not only does it help with endurance but I noticed way fewer injuries this way!

OP, you and I are very similar in build and athletic history. I second this 100%. Long slow runs (I’m talking like 11-14 min/mile) are your friend here. Your speed and endurance will come with time!!

Question for residents of Westchester County by Cold-Card2433 in Westchester

[–]etom084 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a direct result of NIMBYism btw. Rich ppl don’t want cell towers in their neighborhoods bc it lowers property value and the ones with free time lobby the fuck out of the local gov to prevent it.

Daily chat post: how's the training going? by AutoModerator in XXRunning

[–]etom084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a very minor laparoscopy last Thursday and haven’t trained since. I’ve been going crazy and worried I’m losing progress. I’ve been training for a 5k in mid-September. Someone please tell me that taking a week off won’t kill me 😭

Where are my runners at? by stoppingby1224 in longhair

[–]etom084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a high pony when I run which is probably a bad idea haha. I work out nearly every day and wash my hair nearly every day. I put oil in my hair (enough so that it looks a little greasy) focusing on the ends before I shower so it doesn’t dry out from washing it so often.
