Yea, and you’d think you’d see more mentions of PMDD here as well.

Because they were ahead on industry and slavery was less profitable. Don’t think England was going around thinking it was wrong.

Their comment didn’t contain enough disdain for women.

It’s also worth noting that free range and organic eggs got hit waasaay less than your average factory farm egg, therefore it probably hurt Amazon a lot less to keep eggs low compared to other grocers.

Nah, I’d say this fits solidly in the category of “heaps of research indicating that single men suffer more in situations that promote isolation”. Adversarial language or not, the average Lemmy users is so far in their own social phobia that they don’t register that most humans, being social animals, thrive with MORE interaction and not less.

Itt: cognitive disonannce.

The study isn’t bs. Lemmy users just won’t accept that they don’t even come close to representing the average individual.

I think that’s still small talk either way tho? The fact that you launch into some part of your day doesn’t change that it’s gauging your mood on her end. You could just as easily answered: “Snoozefest, how about your day?” or “Nightmarish headache from start to end, hold me”. See how these are all logical answers that would (I hope) evoke a different response from your partner?

There are plenty of games that aren’t $90 and are actually worth the values they charge. Not everything is priced like a AAA dev pushing their yearly slop of their main franchise.

Is or is not talking about how your days went considered small talk? I literally don’t know now. I’d say it’s small talk.

Small talk is a way to gauge someone’s mood before going for the bigger discussions

All the comments here jumping to talk about how wrong this is, I gotta ask: haven’t you seen a bad movie?

Art films or blockbusters (or rather, attempts at blockbusters), plenty of movies just suck. Many bad movies will have endless amounts of people trying to change the narrative with the words on the right column.

Or maybe all art house films get described this way when, like any other art form, plenty of them just suck.

Sometimes a movie just sucks and won’t accept that it sucks.

Yea, needs a new upswing at 70 for “living alone” like, it’s potentially sad, but just being able to live on your own gets more impressive the older someone is

I see, understandable. This was also a Baldur’s Gate 3 joke because a character named Auntie Ethel makes multiple threats, including sucking the marrow from your bones and pulling your spine out your arsehole.

Do y’all not have separate endodontists that do root canals only? That’s the norm here that dentists refer out for specialty work like oral surgery and root canals.

Depends on how it “wasn’t done right”. If they didn’t clean it out properly and there’s still decay? Losing that tooth when it hurts again. Gap in the cement for the crown? New crown. And so on.

Will you also be pulling out their spine through their arsehole?

To be more specific than mobile apps, sports betting apps are so insanely predatory

And it’s not even like Internet trends are a new thing. TikTok has simply offered a platform that’s extra predatory about it.

I can imagine that TikTok has been for Internet trends, to what slot machines did for gambling.

From clinic to clinic might be different but even just a basic screening at Planned Parenthood tests for like 8 different things so no, pretty thorough is saying exactly enough and you’re just being stubborn.

You give the exact “it’s just a little herpes” vibes that you mention elsewhere. Why else would you fight everyone so hard when EVERYONE is telling you it’s very easy to get tested for the whole host of most common STIs on the regular?

Usually the screenings are pretty thorough. I’ve gotten one at least once a year (usually 6 months) for as long as I’ve been an adult.
