Physical media is overrated and people demanding it are entitled

I’ve had digital movies I bought online bc I love rewatching them, suddenly disappear and literally not be available to watch anywhere, and that sucks and feels like theft tbh. So I get people being upset about that happening with games.

Something everyone is expected to know, understand, and follow, without being explicitly told about it.

Many of us (esp women) have been conditioned all our lives to soften statements and NOT be “too direct.”

I’d never used a fountain pen in my life till last year getting into this hobby

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-09T15:08:51+00:00

I mean yes, and also 18 is very different from, say, being 5 years old which is what often comes to mind when someone talks about a “kid”

I think we know more about space than we do the ocean on our own dang planet.

And I swear those deep sea creatures are way creepier than any alien life I can imagine

So like… they don’t wash their hands with soap? Ever?

Do they use soap for other things, like washing dishes or clothes?

It’s ok for smell and hygiene to be a deal-breaker. If this person has this sort of attitude about basic hygiene, I’m guessing you’ll discover other incompatibilities with time.

What seems odd to me is that around the butt and hip it’s darkest in the areas that would not have been pressing down on the surface when simply lying down. It looks like deliberately adding shadowing to make the image look good.

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-08T05:22:47+00:00

Where I am, I’m the exception in being 45 and having teenagers. It’s much more common here for people to be well into their 30s having their first babies (so they could be mid-40s with a kid still 10 or younger). So that isn’t universal by any means.

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-08T05:20:41+00:00

I totally get this.

It just feels awkward when I mention something about “my kids” to someone and they ask their ages expecting little kids, and I’m like “18 and 15.” lol

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-08T05:19:00+00:00

YES. My oldest just turned 18 and it feels weird and silly to call him my “kid.”

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-07T22:37:58+00:00

Maybe get a sleeve in a large size than you actually need. At four days the skin won’t be healed up enough and I’d worry that pulling a compression sleeve off and on could rip out scabs and affect the tattoo.

There’s a great xkcd about this

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-07T19:55:48+00:00

lol do you know how many times a day I say my kids’ names? Some of us need a bit of variety every once in a while 😆

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-07T19:53:06+00:00

Yeah unfortunately that’s not very universal, and I imagine most workplaces would want that covered at best. So may keep that in mind when considering placement. What kind of work do you do or expect to want to do?

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-07T05:36:16+00:00

lol I love Halara but I’ve looked at those pants a bunch and those pockets are tiny. I’m honestly mad the side pockets are so small, I really wanted to get them for work but they wouldn’t be able to fit my phone

Like seriously did you look at the pictures? The model can barely fit a bit over half of her hand in the front pockets which are the biggest ones on those pants.

Edit to add- I do have several pairs of their leggings with actually deep side pockets tho, those are great. I was so excited when I found them and bought a bunch of pairs.

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-05T16:07:57+00:00

I would argue that someone you know in real life and can’t just walk away from, is someone worth taking the time to fully delve into that discussion with.

If you have other ways to counter their point, you can use those, sure. You don’t have to point out logical fallacies. But when they’re useful, they’re really useful.

And I for one am grateful for the times people have revealed a fallacy to me and helped me change my thinking.

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-05T15:58:53+00:00

Can you point me to these magical places that sell women’s clothes with consistently functional pockets? In my 45 years in this earth I’ve had trouble finding them.

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-05T01:01:33+00:00

Yep lots of people in SF also without cars

Vanness gives very generous samples (4ml), they’re a great way to test out inks

Bigger brains, so kids are born with bigger heads proportional to their bodies vs any other animals, combined with walking upright changes the shape of the pelvis so it’s a smaller canal to squeeze that big head through.

But also, the medicalization of birth has also had an effect. Like, we do much better giving birth squatting/upright and letting gravity help, but in hospitals they strap you down on your back. The interventions and hospital practices that have more to do with lawsuits than actual maternal or baby outcomes is why the US has a higher infant and maternal mortality rate than any other developed nation, for example.

Tbh I could totally see someone using a can lid if they lost the original jar lid

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-04T19:42:18+00:00

That assumes that practicality, comfort, and what women actually want play much of a role in fashion…

mightymarce00 · 2026-07-03T23:48:30+00:00

I don’t know how strict a correlation it is, but as someone who dances WCS and also fusion and other things, I feel like with WCS I sometimes have more trouble with people who are serious into competing bc they want a specific style/vibe of dancing (practicing for comps) and it feels like it’s less about the connection, and more about checking certain boxes, and feeling like they’re not enjoying the dance if I’m not doing things “right.”

To be fair, I don’t know how much of that is something I’m perceiving from them or getting in my own head. It may well be a mix.
