I fundamentally disagree with your premise. Being caring, vulnerable, gentle is in no way incompatible with being manly. All require a lot of courage, strength, and intelligence. I do not think that manliness should be defined by its most toxic representatives.

I also heard an interesting take on this: we technically do not have a definition of what “manliness” means, as currently society is built around hating and oppressing women. Boys are told “don’t be a girl”, pretty much - don’t cry, don’t be ‘emotional’, don’t compromise, etc.

I think you should be grateful that you weren’t indoctrinated into being an abuser and instead managed to become a “real man”.

If you have trouble breaking the friendship barrier, consider getting in touch and expressing your romantic side more, because the qualities you describe are super attractive

omg totally, I hate that people do that. I don’t see a way out without introducing digital literacy classes at schools

that’s bizarre, sorry to hear that and hope it gets better

Thank you! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and a few recipes I tried out were terrible.

yeah otherwise my light shirt comes out covered in dark fibers and vice versa. When I had only muted colors I was able to wash together. I also started switching to non toxic clothes but still have some synthetic items so they’re separated too, so the safe clothes don’t get unnecessary covered in microplastics (they’re emitted more intensively during washing). And then wool and other delicate clothes get ruined by normal spinning cycle so they need to be washed separately too.

But I just have a divider in my laundry basket so I don’t have to sort them out

If anyone wants context for why she was denied entry, apart from photos supportive of terrorists found on the phone

The doctor also reportedly told agents that she attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah while in Lebanon, but that she supported him “from a religious perspective” and not a political one.

yes that makes sense, thank you for explaining.

it is not genetic, it is environmental. Children of parents with less intelligence will not be raised to be intelligent. They might be lucky/resilience and try to get the most support outside the house, but it is much harder to accomplish, and often is even met with harassment at home, due to the rest of the family being insecure about their own lack of intelligence. And that is only if they rebel, which is not necessarily true as they will not only lack easy access to basic knowledge about the world/science, but will also not be introduced to the importance of learning about it from their closest figures of authority. Escaping that cycle it is even harder if the family is facing economic hardship, which is true for most modern families in general. It really isn’t that hard to figure that out, the kneejerk reaction that the statement always gets is annoying.

imagine being confused that people do not enjoy mass produced drink made of lowest quality materials and prefer something that doesn’t taste like it has already been drank before…

also itt: people who think only IPA is craft beer. If you’re not into IPA, which is a matter of taste, you can just drink delicious craft lager and pilsner.

does nobody here use detergent sheets? I love them

biased against cold weather

No shit, most people do not enjoy being perpetually imprisoned within walls and suffocated by clothes. You can’t chill in the park if it’s cold, you can’t swim comfortably, have to wear shoes even on the grass, skin cannot breathe, it sucks.

Mine has to be Microsoft too because of aggressive bribing they did/do to destroy the chances of many countries and schools using Linux, and how they fragmented the unix ecosystem. Linux has always been a better choice and as soon as it was chosen, Microsoft would give significant bribes to the decision maker stupid enough to not realize that the entire organization is now hostage to pay for support for the end of their life as the os is too much of a garbage to maintain sometimes without secret insider knowledge.
