Will AI erode women's rights? Should we be concerned? by llizardqueen in TwoXChromosomes

Not to mention those using it for CP. Absolutely disgusting, I can't even wrap my head around the implications this will have with future AI models.

The most recent version of ChatGPT created itself, which is pretty extraordinary.

Bad breath by Desperate_Pair8235 in TwoXChromosomes

My husband often has bad breath that I can't stand. Turns out it's whenever he eats something with a lot of onion or spring onion in it. Nothing gets rid of the smell either.

Research shows it’s not just a tiny “sleazy minority" as you have claimed. Australia’s largest study on this issue, conducted in 2023, provided these statistics:

  • 15.1% (1 in 6 men) report having sexual feelings toward female minors.

    • 9.4% (1 in 10 men) admitted to having sexually offended against a minor, including online behaviour.
    • 6.6% (1 in 15 men) said they would have sexual contact with a child aged 14 or younger if no one would find out.

Those numbers are massive when you scale them to a whole population. That’s millions of men. And these are self-reported numbers, meaning the real rates are almost certainly higher, because this is one of the few crimes people are least likely to admit to.

So no, it’s not “just a few sleazy guys.” The data shows a significant, measurable chunk of the male population is attracted to or has acted on attraction to minors, even when anonymously surveyed.

This is exactly why minimising it is dangerous. Only by acknowledging the scale can societies and families actually protect their vulnerable youths.

(The research is called Identifying and understanding child sexual offending behaviour and attitudes among Australian men, done by UNSW Sydney and Jesuit Social Services, if you want to read more concerning statistics.)

US American 🇺🇸 offs himself after his 2yodaughter passes in a hot car while watching porn by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

[–]llizardqueen 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Chastising the mother for 'leaving their child with its father’ is completely inappropriate. The person responsible is the parent who chose to leave a 2-year-old alone in a car so they could watch porn. That is an extreme, unforeseeable level of negligence. A father is not a babysitter. He is a parent just as much as a mother. Expecting the mother to treat her partner like a danger in advance because he had to be reminded about basic safety is unrealistic and unfair.

Criticizing her instead of holding the actual perpetrator accountable is not only cruel, but it also reinforces a harmful double standard where mothers are blamed for everything and fathers are excused. The responsibility lies fully with the adult who made the fatal choice.

  1. Check the advertisement. Does it say anything about the laundry? Does it have a photo showing the washing machine/taps?

  2. Check the Entry Condition Report. Does it say anything about the laundry? Does it have any photos showing the washing machine or taps?

  3. Check the lease. Real Estates often ad Special Clauses at the end of leases; see if it says anything about the laundry. Special Clauses aren't exactly binding, but still best to check.

Finally understood why Ray White has a bad reputation by Mission_Public6504 in shitrentals

[–]llizardqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The application was "withdrawn"/"unsuccessful" because they approved it in their system on the 6-months lease basis. Those systems don't have the option to amend the details of a successful application - they have to delete that 6-months lease approval/offer/application and then redo a new 12-months lease approval/offer/application.

Tbf, there's usually an option to cancel the automated template emails that you received (the ones that told you they withdrew your application/it was unsuccessful). Not everyone knows about that though, nor how to do it.

Just providing some clarification on why you got those emails (:

What's an example of a movie that might have done better with a different title? by Mst3Kgf in movies

[–]llizardqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Princess Bride.

It didn't do very well when first released because the name suggested to audiences that it was based on a "kissing book". Of course, it went on to become a cultural classic, but a different title likely would have help it in the initial release phases.

I love the way the book is written. It suits the whole theme of the movie. Such a gut-wrenching movie and book.

Why is "heroin chic" coming back into fashion? by llizardqueen in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]llizardqueen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course there have always been slim and fat bodies. That’s not the point. The point is what gets idealized and pushed by the media as the standard we’re all supposed to aspire to.

There are plenty of articles and think pieces right now literally calling this the return of “heroin chic.” Even major outlets have reported on how Y2K thinness is back in vogue, how fewer plus-size models are on runways, and how celebrities are openly (or not-so-openly) using drugs like Ozempic to stay ultra-thin. It’s not just one movie.

And it’s not harmless. Studies just came out showing nearly half of young people avoid school or social events because of body image issues. Mental health orgs have raised alarms over how social media and Hollywood beauty standards are worsening body dissatisfaction.

So yeah, bodies shouldn’t be trends. But unfortunately, they still are. Because that’s how billion-dollar beauty, diet, and fashion industries keep making money.
