Comment on stuff I guess. Don’t worry about it. It seems to have already taken off.

Try to keep expectations low and you’ll live longer.

Cold soda in a glass, add ice while trying to agitate the liquid as little as possible. Cold liquids have greater capacity for dissolving gasses. It is less prone to release boubles. Use an ice machine for your ice. Smooth ice has fewer nucleation points for the co2 boubles to form. Cold, slow and smooth. Expect to loose some carbonation. In the cases i have very rugged ice from the freezer, i sprinkle some soda or water on them to melt the outer layer before adding my drink slowly.

Not sure I understand the reasoning for discontinuing. Google standing in the way? Not enough f-droid users benefiting from it? It didn’t see development cause it was already feature complete?

Olives are pretty great. Like the green ones more than then darker ones.

Feel like 24 hours is too little to do anything special with. Would have been a little more interesting question if the timespan would have been longer. A year?

Forest is pretty scary at night.

They are used to there being teams in everything. If you are not like me, you are with the enemy team.

Whoever lost that must have been seriously pissed off.

Maybe they went and died. Otherwise one would have recovered it, right?

Legacy from a time when it was used as authentication. I guess. I sure find myself not reproducing my past signatures very well. Never got me in to trouble.

Yes, when I feel bad, I inadvertently pull the mood of my loved ones down with me. That is not desired. It makes me feel worse. Not much I can do about it, other than hide my feelings, which would make me feel bad. The is probably a pretty common experience.

The current thing is the the stuff!

Neat! * thumb up *

I wager the reason why people are not dueling each other, to solve their differences today, is that they simply have more options in how they go about it. I don’t think the survival rate of stab wounds factor in to the decision at all. We have a more accommodating legal system to turn to. One that serves more people than ever.

On another note. If you have to pay for your own medical cost and you live in a place like the USA; then you would probably want to die. If you live in a more civilised pace, then your fellow citizens will pay for your treatment and then promptly lock you up for wasting taxpayer money and endangering yourself and others, like a crazy person.

I feel out of the loop here. What’s a homework site?

I am not arguing that this happens everywhere, in the same way and is then set in stone forever. People in different places and times had different circumstances. Hence, they could have chosen to handled things differently. Cultural norms can also sometimes change over night. Look at the sexual revolution of the 60-70s for example.

I was trying to answer the question where this norm comes from. Not why this norm isn’t universal.

It seems obvious to me that a culture that have normalized breasts in everyday life, would also consider them less sexual in nature.

I suspect this was also her income source. She had a monetary incentive to draw eyes to her profiles. It’s tempting to take risks when one sees a way to improve their livelyhood.

I checked it out! I have avatars disabled. Didn’t even know they were a thing. I can confidently say; yours is the best avatar on Lemmy that I have ever seen! audience clapping

I agree. I think that is where we are heading. In societies with high quality of life and high standard of eduction, it is already an expectation. Unfortunately there are places today, that are still somewhat mediaeval.

To clarify; the reason why males might have initially made these requests of their partners is, I reason, insecurity and perhaps fear. Imagine you live in a society where you can not expect protection from anyone except maybe your own family. You find yourself in that threatening situation. Your choices of what to do about it are limited. From the perspective of both the victim and her husband. If most peoples choice are the same, it might become a norm and part of the culture, eventually. You can imagine how the resulting behaviour would probably have been supported by both sexes. Because they feel safer. Because it’s practical and easy. With time it becomes pointless. But it’s culture. It’s tradition and somehow valued on that merit alone.

If I were to find myself in that situation, today, I might have told my wife “let’s leave”. My choices in that moment are still limited. Of course I can report the incident to authorities and what not, after the fact. That sucks for me. It probably sucked even harder 12k years ago.

I have never found myself in this situation, but I can imagine it. And I think my wife would cover up, not because she wants to, but because it makes her feel safe. That is not great. That is not an argument for bad behaviour. Thankfully we generally feel safe where we live.

Evolution doesn’t have a preconceived goal it goes for. There can be pressures of all different kinds. I did not intend to convey that sexual pressure was the sole factor on the evolution of breasts. Clearly they have other functions. I only make the observation that it is a sexual signal for males in the vast majority of mammals. I believe humans are the only mammal with breasts that doesn’t shrink when they are ready, as it were. But I am a proponent of the hypothesis that it was evolved as a trait of sexual secrecy, to confuse males, so the female can attract the favour of more males.

It’s alright to disagree with the premise that there were sexual pressure on the evolution of breasts. You would probably be in the minority in the scientific community on that one though.

For the record; I fancy myself an egalitarianist. I believe in women’s rights. I do not believe slavery is good for any kind of society. I really believe males and females are very similar. Small differences in our physiological makeup. That is all.
