If men are facing a loneliness epidemic, they could learn to be friends with one another, enjoy one anothers’ company, and open up to one another about being lonely etc, instead of expecting women to train them.

I cant train men on how women want to be treated, and I wouldnt even want to tell men how women should be treated seeing as im not a woman.

Women want to be treated as equals to men, to be paid the same as men are, to be promoted in jobs as often as men are, and to be represented in government and media as much as men are. This is absolutely something that men can and should tell other men about.

that’s cool as hell! i’m bookmarking this to try something along those lines myself ✍️✍️✍️

boxes like this in dublin get painted by artists as things like tarot cards, match boxes, scenes from around the city, etc: https://dublin.ie/live/stories/dublin-canvas/

it’d be cool to see street artists just decide to take them over directly with their own art/designs, so they’re not always going through a county/local council (which i assume involves sanitising any socio-political messages the artists might have)

hup solarpunk! 🙌 these look super cool, fair play!

this is a new ragebait account that’s spamming multiple communities with anti-semitic posts. they’re probably going to delete their account pretty soon, they just desperately want some attention first

yeah! it didn’t even occur to me that the colours might be limited or muted, it feels v atmospheric & dramatic to me! :D

ooh i love this! 100% would play this exploration game/rpg :D

for myself, if i can recover passwords etc, i delete the account to lower the possibility of that data being used to train ai, and to lower the numbers of registered accounts they have.

i think stakeholders are more likely to see accounts being deleted as worse than an inactive account, because people can always come back to an inactive account.

so many websites are eager to keep users by making it difficult to delete accounts, or by adding a 14 day wait before they’ll delete an account, etc., so that alone makes me think they want even inactive accounts for usage statistics or to steal data from.

“The simplest thing is to send an F-16 to put out the fire,” Kreuzer added.

All three justified the idea of summary killings on the grounds that burning waste “constitutes terrorism”.

According to Israel, dropping 2000lb “bunker busters” on people in tents isn’t terrorism, but people burning rubbish in order to cook food & generate heat is.

the legends say that toby’s still napping now, and on a quiet night like tonight, you can hear him snoring contentedly 😌💚

that’s the film logo from this year, saying “he mr gay”

the stars on the title of the 2007 game “super mario galaxy” are what spell out “u r mr gay” / “you are mr gay”

then the stars on the title of the sequel game in 2010, “super mario galaxy 2” spell out “u r m i a y”, which spelled backwards supposedly says “ya i m, r u?” / “yeah i am, are you?”

so idk, i think he might in fact be mr gay. we might need a film sequel to be sure, though.

the average person wouldn’t buy a new bed/mattress/wardrobe for a hostel (or even a hotel) they were staying in for a few weeks, no. buying larger furniture items like that would generally indicate to a family that OP might intend to stay longer than a few weeks.

it’s not really about the cost, but about making sure that everyone’s communicating their plans/return dates/expectations, so no one’s in for an unpleasant surprise when OP heads home.

overcommunication will at worst result in a “we know, you’ve told us all before”, while undercommunication could result in “i assumed you’d changed your mind about leaving, after you bought so many things for the house”

ahh. that’s a good bit more than someone would buy for a hostel stay, and probably more than someone would buy for a friend, too.

just be sure that you’re clearly communicating your intentions & letting everyone know that while you didn’t mind spending that money, you also don’t intend to move in & stay longer, despite your new purchases maybe indicating otherwise.

are any of these purchases wildly beyond what you might have bought to make a hostel stay more comfortable, like food/bedding/clothes/entertainment?

without more information/any red flags, it sounds like your parents are just being overly protective/suspicious.

not at all, he was a creep in his 30s, grooming a child. probably multiple kids, by pretending to be younger & posting a teenage boy’s (previous victim’s?) photos over & over in a discord. 🤢 i’m so sorry you experienced this.

he accused you of the thing he was doing, to mess with your head. it means you end up defending yourself against something you couldn’t possibly have done (since you were a child), to distract you from the fact that he’s doing the grooming.

baseless accusations are often confessions.

assuming i somehow aquired Too Much Money (the centi-billionaire sorta Too Much Money), i’d give the money to land back projects, reforestation/rewilding projects, and native food forest projects, globally.

that probably still wouldn’t use up much of a centi-billionaire’s money, but i genuinely cannot grasp how much money that is… maybe get involved in politics & make it an international crime to charge money for anything that’s a human right, like housing/food/water 🤔

that’s incredible! 🤩💚 i’ll keep an eye out for pandan for sure!

Oh it could be! I’ve no idea about the origin of his name.

His name just coincidentally happens to be spelled the same way as two different Irish words like beach or fear, etc., so I jokingly pronounce his name as though they’re the Irish words :P

that whole page is wild, i’d no idea margarine was outright banned in some places for nearly a century, resulting in bootleg margarine, or that there were so many bans on colouring it yellow to rival butter. 🤯

some places forcing margarine to be pink (to make it seem unpalatable) wouldn’t have worked on me imo, foods need more whimsy

Shan ban.

His name’s made up of the words “old” (sean) and “woman” (bean) in Irish.

(Seán with the fada is what elongates the vowel, so it becomes a person’s name & gets pronounced more like “Shawn” for English speakers.)
