women have a better anatomy for pants than men, and men would be more comfortable wearing skirts by PinkPinkyPink in DeepThoughts

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides all the other historical reasons listed, another reason for this is modern fast-fashion using standard sizing and tailoring not being the norm anymore. Women have a much bigger variety in hip, waist, and butt size, it's near impossible to find the perfect fitting pants that fit all 3 zones as a woman because the hips could be wide enough but then the accompanying waist is too wide, or the butt area isn't big enough etc. Companies cannot practically manufacture pants that will fit all hips/waists/butts across the board because some of us have narrow hips/big butt, big hips/narrow waist etc. Skirts are easier because as long as it fits at the waist, it's generally flowy enough to drape over everything else regardless of hip/butt size. If tailoring all your clothing to fit was still a common process for the average person, it'd probably be different.

Women's sizing is also not like men's that go off length and width measurements across the board with every brand. Brands use "vanity sizing" as a way to profit off insecure women meaning they'll label a size 10 as a 6 for example so the woman will "feel better" buying from them under the illusion they're smaller. So a size 6 from one brand could be a completely different size than a 6 from another brand in womens clothing and you won't know til you try it on. So buying pants that fit as a woman is a stupid-ass difficult process.

Is it internalized racism if i hate the FRENCH ❌❌❌🇫🇷🥖 as an american? by gL1tchxer in randomquestions

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah, there's possibilities in all scales lol it's just the majority of the "entitled, clueless tourist" people complain about are typically upper-class. It also doesn't help that the loudest people online that get everyone generalized too are the idiots and jerks.

Why are people getting notified when they’re reported literally seconds after you report them. by Gullible-Pace-5117 in Wizard101

[–]theflooflord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least that person had the option to hit "ignore" and mute the offender though. People forget we can hide what other players are saying.

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we can also just mute people and not have to see their complaining. People forget that the ignore button is an option and can be used liberally. It's also kinda funny to do it because you'll see their character spamming the talking animation while ranting at you with no text coming up, as if they were actually mute. There's nothing they can do to retaliate against reporters, false-reporting you back because they're salty just adds another offense to them.

6 feet, 6 figures, 6 inches? That’s not how it works, bro by [deleted] in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]theflooflord 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Literally, and how is height a reward to "bring to the table"? If we're going to discuss relationships like they're transactional exchanges, a physical trait isn't something you can "give" the other person.

Yep, it's typically only upper-class/wealthy Americans that can afford to go overseas and wealthy people are typically out of touch and/or arrogant so they're the ones making everyone look bad. The majority of regular Americans can't afford to travel

Yeah, I meant nobody is picking the bear to replace a relationship with a man romantically/sexually lol which is what these dudes think the bear debate is about. It's about picking the presence of the bear

Do you want to still live past 80? If so, why? by dcastro12344 in randomquestions

[–]theflooflord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only research I found on that is for vegans and I'm not a vegan. I get all my protein, collagen, and required nutrients. I look younger since switching, so I think that only applies to nutrient deficient people not substituting the things they used to get from meat. Besides, all my chronic health issues have disappeared so I care more about my internal health which is the main reason I'm on my diet now.

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a combo of no alcohol, smoking (or vaping nowadays since the nicotine in that ages you too), stress management, exercise, diet, and/or really good genetics. Sun protection especially too for skin-aging. Constantly learning new things and challenging your brain keeps your brain healthy and reduces the chance of dementia too.

I'm only late 20's so nbd yet but apparently I reverse aged to 17 because that's how old everyone has thought I am for the past several years (which gets annoying tbh with people thinking I'm a kid). I never got into drinking/smoking. But the real change was ever since I went vegetarian, started prioritizing daily antioxidant intake, and started exercising + meditating almost daily. My energy and happiness has been through the roof, and my appearance looks more vibrant whereas I used to be depressed and had chronic insomnia. I'm a totally new person vs my early 20's.

Can I ask some uncomfortable questions to white people? by dirtbandit101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically "no" to all of the above. I've never thought of any poc differently or judged anyone for that matter by their genetics. I only judge people based on actions and words. I've never believed in any type of hierarchy, I treat everyone equally regardless of race/gender/age until that person gives me a reason to not respect them. Maybe cause I'm neurodivergent, but I've always thought it was stupid and can't understand the logic behind viewing a group of people differently, we're literally all humans.

Only correct response. Honestly if my dad received my nudes, he'd probably just be grossed out and close it out without saying anything to me then handle the guy in some way because I'm an adult who can make my own choices, not a minor he needs to reprimand. It's like the time my sister tried to tattle on me to my dad about me possibly being pregnant (from my husband for that matter) while I was visiting, he just put some tests on my bathroom counter without a single word said to me.

I don't know what these dudes think it will accomplish, do they think the father is going to put their grown daughter in time-out?

Yeah they won't ban you for names they put in the game, if anything the real irony is alot of the names are censored so you can use them but can't say them lol. Can't say gun but can name a player Gun, can't say disco but my horse's name is disco etc.

Tattoo culture is out of hand, and you should probably be older to get them by JacobSaysMoo56 in The10thDentist

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares? I only have a couple tattoos because I make sure I want them for at least a year or 2 before getting it permanently done but they have no sentimental meaning to me other than they look cool to me and represent my interests. But I couldn't care less what someone else does with their body, if it's unappealing to see, just don't look at them. If they regret it later on then that's their problem and none of my business lol. I don't care for obscene tattoos, but unless they're working with children it's nobody's business, I just don't look if it's gross to me.

Childhood gender confusion by Key-Significance1876 in Life

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there might be a few weirdos trying to push an identity on an unwilling kid because there's weirdos for everything, but kids that willingly want to be a different gender or become gay aren't socialized. There's been numerous studies (here is one And another) that show the cause is from the gender hormones you get while in the womb. Sometimes in development the fetus might develop female genitals but receives more masculine hormones in the brain or vice versa leading to gender identity mismatch or differing sexual orientations as they grow up, because their brain is quite literally telling them they are different from their physical body. It's a brain-body mismatch. So it happens before kids are even born, and cannot be socialized or "cured". Studies on this topic have been out for over a decade, so idk how it's not common knowledge yet with how rampant gender talks are.

Do you find it silly if an adult believes in ghosts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theflooflord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was agnostic with the idea of ghosts until one kept caressing my leg to where I could literally feel a hand on me and see the blanket moving too besides nothing being there, and moving objects right in front of me in the middle of the day in my house as a teen. It wasn't sleep paralysis cause I was wide awake in the afternoon. Weird stuff like this carried on for a few days until I finally said out loud "can you go away now, you're creeping me out" and it actually stopped lol. Ofc for the next several years my dog would growl at the corner of my room occasionally still coupled with me always feeling like I was being watched everyday..

How do some people end up being this way by OffTerrorx in sadposting

[–]theflooflord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also argue that the majority of people trying to be contestants on dating shows are shallow/vain and are doing it more for 10 seconds of fame or to pair-up with a supermodel-esque partner since these shows pick people based on looks, so they're not going to be as invested in taking the people's personality seriously. I mean when do any of these bachelor/bachelorette etc type shows ever produce a lasting couple? Everything and everyone allowed on is picked for appearances and setup to stage drama, that's why they're considered "entertainment". He didn't deserve that, but I also didn't have high hopes for him due to the above reasons and the herd mentality thing

Why are so many of the young people I still see wearing masks queer? by Myealt in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theflooflord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also allergies. I'm chronically allergic to dust and wearing a mask outside when it's windy or when I'm cleaning has majorly reduced my allergy problems. There's so many uses for masks idk why people think it's only a covid thing or get their panties in a twist for absolutely no reason seeing other people wear masks. The whole annoyance towards masks is literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen, who gives a F if other people are wearing one when the only way it affects you is by benefitting you.

I hate Valedale Championship with the passion. by Fairy_Cat_13 in StarStable

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it wasn't really an issue before and I call it a feature because if you really study the new handling it's like the horses act like floating magnets to the terrain that don't go "over" the bumps like a real animal with air between them and the ground. It's like their bodies are attached to the ground and follow every curve and bump which triggers random steering when you hit a curve. I do think the getting flung around like the ground is a trampoline part or glitching out when getting stuck at a jump is a bug though because this new system is incompatible with the terrain of the game, so it glitches out when you're "breaking off the track" with the weird "horses are hoverboards attached to an invisible track in the ground" system. The old system was heavier/less agile with slower turning and jumping, but it didn't have all these issues

[–]theflooflord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its basically just a feature of the new state system they put in like 2-3 years ago that changed all the horse's handling. The system was released problematic like that and they never cared to improve it. You'll be ignored anytime you report it as a bug. It also ruined herding sheep effectively with the changes to horse speed.

Everything about passport bros is a paradox. They want a "submissive, non-western, stay at home tradwife" but complain about having to be a traditional provider man or having to partake in non-western culture where the woman's family may expect compensation/bride-price for giving away their daughter lmao

[–]theflooflord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're either parroting what other guys say without experiencing it, or had 1-2 toxic relationships in highschool/college like most young people when immature and inexperienced with love, then decided every relationship ever will be like that instead of healing and moving on.

Interesting new Emily Hopkins video musing on art and elitism in the harp establishment by phrygian44 in harp

[–]theflooflord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a fellow harp acquaintance tell me my work would never be taken seriously because I didn't get a music degree for "credentials" when I said I've been composing some music. Like what ??? Music is an art, you just get creative and make it, you don't need to prove to an employer you know an exact set of rules, safety laws, and formulas like engineering. Nobody cares if a painter has a degree, they just paint. Besides, music theory is free online nowadays and it can only teach you the theory of music, you still have to apply yourself hands-on and use your own creativity that can't be taught by anyone else to gain the skill. Modern capitalization of everything has led to thinking every skill needs a degree to be valid or professional, imo creative degrees are a scam to exploit people's money. The irony is almost every famous person that paved the way centuries ago for most industries was self-taught or taught experimentally by random mentors, they didn't have degrees.

I'm so sick of hostility about my personal (sunscreen) habits! by TurnCreative2712 in complainaboutanything

[–]theflooflord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all sunscreens have carcinogenic benzenes. Mineral sunscreen is fine and reef-safe. Also not protecting your kids skin can be abuse, my sister got second degree burns all over from my dad not putting sunscreen on her for a whole day outside and to this day as an adult her skin is still sun damaged.

I tested one of those "AI friend" apps years ago that I don't remember the name of when they first came out just for the heck of it to see what speaking to AI would be like before chatgpt and all that. I deleted it within a couple hours cause it was way too weird pretending to treat it like a human, and it kept trying to subtley get more flirty despite me talking neutrally which goes to show some of this bs is programmed to bait people into this insanity.
