I mean, the most manly and masculine thing you can do is exclusively have sex with big, masculine, manly men, right? Having sex with a woman is so emasculating, because you’re enjoying someone’s femininity, and that’s the worst possible thing for a man, so I’ve been told. Therefore, it’s super gay to have sex with women. Be a real man and exclusively have sex with your manly bros.

You should see some of my professional work emails where after proof reading multiples i still end up sending sentences with 20% of the words missing.

You can catch me doing that on lemmy too. And i swear that when i re-read myself i see full sentences with nothing missing.

The thing is, have a cognitive communicate deficit, simply thinking about language feels alien and i have to put alot of effort in translating my actual thoughts into characters yall can understand. My inner monologue is a mix mathematics and images, no words.

I had 2 choice

  1. Avoid communicating out of anxiety and stess that people will think less of me because my words (i used to be there)

  2. stop caring and assume that most are smart enough to figure it out and respectful enough not to make it into an issue. (Where i am now)

Those that aren't smart enough are unlikely to understand some of the importance nuances i do put in language. (Because half the things i need a word for don't have a known word so its all approximate translations) and those that cant stay respectfull are a bigger problem for society than o’l me.

9

Doesn't work if you need to use more then one language and doesnt account for grammar or missing words. The language i use most often is also a local variation that is rarely supported.

If you do know a way to get one that can detect and adapt across multiple Language i am all ears. Because as much as i try not to care i do wish things where different.

Ai spellcheck does look promising though seems much more capable and dynamic, looking forward to see that progress.

"Middle age" has never been about being exactly 50% of the way through the average life span. It's much less about "how much time you have left" and more about the point where you can't realistically think of yourself as young anymore. The effects of age become impossible to ignore, compounding, and increasingly obvious.

It's basically just your 40s-60s. Not the exact midpoint.

The American rotary was/is the RX8. RX7 was banned in the US because it had a left hand drive and emissions regulations. But you might still be able to find one or two floating around

The rotary is kinda cool but there's not many mechanics that can work on them. So the Miata is probably the smarter choice.

Being gay, or being called gay, isn't an insult to me. Only juveniles would find it insulting. You know why? Because juveniles think that being different is bad. I grew up and realized that everyone is different and it's because of that difference that we, as a species, can survive. Our differences make us strong. So bluntly, call me weird, call me a freak, call me whatever the hell you want, because all you're saying is that I'm different, and different makes us stronger. I'm proud to be different than my neighbors and coworkers. I think differently than they do. I approach problems differently, I find solutions differently. That's a good thing.

I'm not always right, and I'm not always the most efficient, and that is because of the differences between me and others. I celebrate that difference and you should too.

Idk if you ever saw or remember The Sopranos. It started late 90s and one of the storylines was about one of the older guys liked going down on the woman he was seeing. Well word got out to the other guys that were part of the family and said it was gay to go down on a woman.

Me and my wife just busted out laughing. Like people really think this? The answer is yes. People think this and are idiots. Pleasing a woman in bed is gay apparently. The older guy ended up breaking up with the woman he liked because he was getting clowned on by the other members of the family.

For me, as long as they can provide for those kids.... Whatever.

The only problem I have is when people have kids, or more kids when they can't even provide for themselves and/or the kids that they already have. It's like, you're on social assistance, living in subsidised housing, getting groceries at the food bank..... And you're popping out more kids... Why? You didn't find fulfillment from the several you already have? You can't even feed them, why are you having more?

If someone who is well off and has more money than they reasonably need for their bills and can afford to feed, clothe, and house +1 child, go ham. IDGAF.

I might question it because they already have six or eight or more kids, but honestly, I don't really care that they do it.... More of a "but, why?" Situation for me.

They might be able to provide enough in terms of needs, but there is no way to provide that many kids with enough parental attention. Especially if both parents are working. Older kids end up raising younger kids. So I will still judge them.

Young women are better off with people their age because there are assholes like this who would exploit them, and maybe leave them as the woman ages.

For additional funsies, note that sperm quality declines with age. People in glass houses etc. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9848653/

In general, women are free to do as they wish because they’re self-determining beings and their value is not derived from being able to give birth. Same for men, tbh.

Also lol forget about the fact that many young people who have children are not guaranteed biologically fit children because it’s all about chance more or less.

This topic is a shitshow and the world is a poorer place for us having to discuss it!

However, the western world is also a richer, much more equal place than in the past, as a higher percentage of women can live as they want while most people will live and let live, than say a century ago, when the misogyny was internalized and all-pervasive, even institutionalized, along with other mental viruses like racism and homophobia.

What was universally taken for granted then is the opposite of what is taken for granted now.
Nowadays these imbeciles are publicly called out for what they are: imbeciles. And a majority of people are comfortable to freely, publicly agree.

When I was 28-30 I did a lot of dating. I went on a few dates with people 22 and under early on. I quickly set my personal age limit to 25, as everybody I went out with younger than that displayed waaaay too many undesirable traits in maturity and lack of life experiences.

This "wisdom", while amusing, just doesn't work. And still puts young people in danger of being groomed by assholes.

Yeah, I think the age of consent should be 25, since that's the age your brain finishes maturing. So, adjust for that, I guess. I think it still works for ages older than 25, though.

Assuming hetero coupling: I don’t know why a 27yo woman would want to be with a 40yo man if we’re strictly talking about biological fitness of offspring. Makes more sense for a 17yo and 20yo, but there are serious diminishing returns for a young woman the older the man gets based on the decline in sperm quality. The chances are that she ensures better offspring by being with someone in her age range +/- 3 years.

FYI, this is what men like this person sound like when they evaluate women. I am just doing the same thing back to such a man. If he thinks he’s a prime target for young women, he’s not.

Personally, I think evaluating people simply based on their ability to produce offspring is gross because you’re removing any consideration for them as a person. I feel icky having this conversation. There’s something wrong with conservative culture that makes them evaluate people like cattle.

They tried cancelling the NFL already. Remember the whole kneeling during the anthem thing? All those people who supposedly stopped watching the NFL are clearly either lying or not missed, judging by the ever increasing ratings and ticket prices.

Yeah! Based on this one guy and one issue, it's all Americans, and only Americans.

I don't disagree about the stuff you mentioned. That said, with the internet it's easy to find people saying crazy shit about any subject, so it's good to be careful about inferring views of a bunch of people from a small sample.

There's so many anti-American try-hards on this platform.

Yup, a lot of anti-americans who specifically hate cars and think bikes will solve everything (even for the eldery and disabled).

Wait until I tell you about this amazing invention called "public transit". It was all the rage back in the early 20th century, and it might be making a comeback.

I wasn't even saying ageism is not a problem, just making a joke about how a screenshot of some random asshole isn't representative.

That said, I don't think it's ageism to be concerned about whether two guys who are 81 and 77 should be put in the most powerful and stressful job in the world.

The age isn't what matters. It's cognitive ability. Simply looking at the number and saying "Number too high" is 100% ageism.

You don't think the average person has naturally reduced cognitive ability at 70+? I've never researched it I just assumed it declined in general just like eyesight, hearing, response time etc. I'm 40 and all those things have begun declining for me. I'm wiser but definitely not quicker.

Women have faced this kind of dross for centuries and it's not like the far-right were going to be progressive about it.

They're happy to give a free pass to barely coherent old white guys though.

plus, you gotta love that this subset of americans thinks the entirety of a woman's worth boils down to whether she can pop out lots of kids. 🙄

Having a sugar mommy for your lavender marriage would make sense.... if it were the 90's... in 2024 where being gay is considered perfectly normal even in the redder parts of America? Not so much

The only reason I wouldn't date Taylor Swift is if the relationship goes south, she'll diss me in a world record breaking single that's pure fire just to remind me that we're not getting back together.

You could put "I've got a tripple/quadruple/whatever platinum single dedicated to me" on your dating profile.
