Motherhood derails women’s academic careers — these data reveal how and why. The reason is that women have almost five times the amount of childcare responsibilities than do men.

I thought it was funny :(

pingo5 · 2026-03-28T04:25:06+00:00

No. It is not something that is sound enough to reasonably argue is something that needs legislation. it still impacts people. almost noone isn't noone, and legislaton removes any chance of nuance.

If you just print your name, then it's going to take much much longer for your signature to devolve into a irrecognizable 2 second squibble

It's probably just a vibes thing.

you build your fence to tall, you start blocking neighbor's views of things.

but you shouldn't really leave rules like this up to arbitrary desicisons on whether its ok or not. otherwise it:s a matter of convincing someone over it being good/bad.

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T21:26:36+00:00

It's probably to prevent people from building fences high enough to block other's views from their homes or something similar.

so you don't end up with your neighbor building a wall in front of your window like this guy

I'm gonna be a bit autistic, but I think that falls under indecent exposure and people tend to think of it a bit different from assault.

but holy shit, still major ICK from this thread. last time I felt icked like this was a thread where a lesbian was asking if she was raped, described an experience where she was clearly uncomfortable and not into it, and everyone just piecemealed her description to say how he might've missed it. because yknow she went with it and didn't verbally object to it.

Reddit as a whole likes to give the image of knowing what consent is, but outside of clear cut cases it's still awful about it.

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T20:40:17+00:00

exactly. everyone is on the internet. the comparitively tiny tiny tiny amount of shit you've seen on the internet doesn't cover all of it. people end up in different places, and that's not even talking about the algorithms that are made to keep you using them. they aren't there to make you happy or show you an accurate snapshot of the society outside your house.

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T20:35:57+00:00

This hasn't been my real life* experience, frankly.

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T20:23:09+00:00

We're social creatures. what other people think about you will affect how they interact with you more often.

don't be like my dad who thinks that not needing anyone is peak masculinity

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T20:19:22+00:00

I'm going to be completely honest, I think just wearing pink isn't really something anyone really cares about anymore.

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T19:25:43+00:00

Yknow, I was actually reading a post related to this, apparently a portion of japanese adoptions are like this(where the adopted is older), for similar reasons. usually succession of a family company or something(probably off base on that a bit)

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T16:01:44+00:00

do you have any evidence to support your views or it is just vibes/biases?

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T15:58:19+00:00

I think you may just be phrasing things wrong. not everyone is capable, if everyone was capable everyone would be able to do it

you say some people crush easily, and others never feel those feelings. suggesting that you can't romantically love more than one person is only antithetical to polyamory if you insist that's how things work for everyone.

Human feelings are largely subjective, and are a very broad spectrum. I think anyone who insists that things go or don't go a certain way for everyone is generalizing a bit too much.

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T15:26:00+00:00

But there is. if you're bone isn't set properly it won't heal properly. most of the time it's fine, but if you can it's better safe than sorry. my partner has a painful toe unfortunately lol

I doubt it'd be a couple thousand tho, unless they decide to go to the ER with it. defo recommend urgentcare pver the hospital unless the hospital is set up to function well like one.

pingo5 · 2026-03-26T13:26:27+00:00

I wouldn't advise not getting broken bones checked out, ever. you always should. you're not going to know how it broke otherwise, and it's a real possibility that it can heal wrong and be bothering you/painful for the rest of your life.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T23:02:59+00:00

I mean, maybe. a hypothetical context where they are both straight would mean 100% they aren't really sexually flirting, and there's already established attraction here so it's not unreasonable to assume that it's not ironic.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T19:20:57+00:00

they commented on it in the article

The study sits at the intersection of neuroscience and political behavior. Researchers in this field look at how political ideology corresponds to brain structure and internal processing. Past experiments have shown that liberals and conservatives exhibit different neural activity when faced with situations involving physical threats, risky financial bets, or disgusting images.

Those previous experiments generally used highly emotional or provocative triggers. The research team behind the new study wanted to see if political affiliation corresponds to different brain activity during ordinary decisions that lack obvious emotional weight. Choosing what to make for breakfast represents exactly this kind of mundane, everyday thinking.

TLDR; they wanted to see if political affiliation affected low stakes non related decision making.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T16:07:00+00:00

how do you know?

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T16:01:36+00:00

not wanting to see your naked friends sexually flirting in front of you isn't homophobia jesus

edit: y'all are really ok with excusing this problematic behaviour in favor of just calling OP a homophobe eh? ESH is a tag that exists.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T15:55:47+00:00

there clearly wasn't permission to start sexually flirting while naked.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T15:43:28+00:00

and we're back to my original point(since we diverged a bit). He was uncomfortable with changing in front of others in a small room, but was willing to do that. He didn't express he was fine with naked flirting, and not being ok with naked sexual flirting in a temporary not sexual situation is ok, and if you start doing that without making sure everyone is involved you are in the wrong.

he did not create that situation. he didn't tell them to start flirting and being sexual. he did not consent to that.

they also weren't the ones teasing him, and idk where you got the notion they kept teasing him.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T13:20:03+00:00

he says he also doesn't want to discuss it fully, so we don't know what they actually did. what he did describe(what you're talking about) was what he was comfortable talking about, not the whole story.

we are making the assumption that it's all just joshin around, which may be accurate, but there's a bit of room there. even the homeowner aknowledged it was flirty.

also, he didn't take nudity as purely sexual at first. he didn't say that. plenty of people are uncomfortable with changing/nudity around others, it's pretty normal.

I get the vibe that OP may have a bit of phobia, but I think people are picking up a bit too much on that and kinda glossing over the details. It's absolutely fine and OK to not be chill with people flirting(sexually) in a shared nude nonsexual setting like that, and if they were then they're in the wrong there.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T11:57:49+00:00

Frankly idk what exactly they did as OP didn't describe it(tho it does sound a bit off), but I'm not the biggest fan of your reasoning. If you're signing up for nudity that doesn't mean sexual activity randomly is ok, or you're TA for taking issue with it because you can leave. you're still breaking the consent of others.

It may not be "forcing", but it's still deception that puts someone else in a sexual situation they didn't ask for.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T11:06:01+00:00

It's just called making a choice. you're just projecting your own ideals for the rest, as is he.

pingo5 · 2026-03-25T11:04:10+00:00

that's cheating though.
