a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred

The fact that most of the times the stigma only clings to the person selling and not the person buying makes me think that this is actually a negligible part of the stigma.

No, MareOfNights, I also find that weird.

Start with praise and honest opinion.

So which is it?

Seriously though, I hate it when people throw in some praise completely unrelated to the thing we are talking about at the moment in an attempt to soften the criticism. It just seems really transparent and fake to me. Praise people for things when they are doing them, not as sugarcoating for your criticism. That just devalues the praise and your criticism. But maybe that's just my stereotypical German directness.

I'm sure he would have believed he could.

the bill's language and topic caused confusion; a member proposed that it be referred to the Finance Committee, but the Speaker accepted another member's recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could "find a deserved grave".

An assemblyman handed him the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.

I hope medicine in 1897 was up to the treatment of these burns.

This is the way

That's why I use LaTeX. (I also use Arch btw.)

To be fair though, there are way more cows than crocodiles, snakes, sharks or deadly spiders in the UK.

Adding to what the other comments have already said: Don't bring an unleashed dog on a cow pasture. You'd think that's common sense, but apparently it's a bit of a meme in Austria and Switzerland that every few months some German get's trampled by cows because their totally friendly dog ran towards the cows and they felt threatened.

Catholics also have patron saints for nearly everything from infants to ice skaters that they pray to but that are totally not gods because there is only one god. I mean, yeah, their second most important prayer is directed at the Virgin Mary, but that doesn't mean they worship her or anything.

What happens to people who rent out an apartment in the house they are living in? This is not uncommon, where I live. Grandma lives in a small separate apartment in the house, she dies, the apartment is rented out. Sometimes a child moves in later or the parents move in and a child takes over the house.
If these people risk losing a part of the house by letting someone else rent it, my guess is that they would just stop renting it in order to be able to leave the whole house to their children. Which would leave even less homes on the renting market and a bigger share to big corporations.

You have opened my eyes. I just shaved off my eyebrows and plucked out my eyelashes.

 

I have selected Subscribed as the default in my General settings:

When switching from my instance (feddit.de) to the Everything feed, I end up in Subscribed no matter which option I choose in the menu shown below. This is expected behaviour if I select Subscribed but not for Local or All. With pictures:

Choosing one of these

Also leads to this result

I used Subscribed as an example, but the same thing happens with Local or All as default, then Local or All will be shown respectively.

The weird thing is, it only happens switching from my instance, not if I was in one of the lemmy.world feeds or already in Everything (so selecting the intended option again a second time works, but I guess that's not how it's meant to work).

Der Artikel ist auf Englisch, ich hoffe, das ist okay hier. Wenn nicht, gerne beschweren.

Man ahnt es oft schon, aber hier mal konkrete Zahlen aus dem Datensatz im Artikel: Nur 26.8% der Filmrollen in den letzten 20 Jahren waren mit Frauen besetzt, obwohl Frauen ja grob die Hälfte der Menschheit ausmachen. Wenn eine Frau Regie führt, sind die Zahlen zumindest ein bisschen besser. Im Artikel ist es noch nach Genres aufgeschlüsselt, find ich ganz interessant zu sehen.

Ich wollte eigentlich einen anderen Post crossposten, aber hab nicht rausgefunden, wie. Also hier der Link zum Post: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1196383 (edit: okay, hab's rausgefunden, aber find das Ergebnis sehr unpraktisch)

 

I just tried to delete my display name in the account settings and it didn't work. I deleted the name in the box and pressed the save button at the bottom. Then I returned to my profile and the display name was still there. Refreshing and reopening the app didn't change that. Returning to the account settings, the display name was back in the box. I tried several times with the same results. Changing the name does work, but removing it doesn't. I thought at first it might just not be possible in Lemmy, but I successfully removed it in Jerboa.

 

Lemmy ist gefühlt eine noch männlichere Bubble als Reddit. Schon auf Reddit war die männliche Perspektive oft stark überrepräsentiert und wenn Frauen ihre Sichtweise ergänzt haben, ist es oft in den Massen an Kommentaren verloren gegangen, zumindest auf allgemeinen Subs. Deswegen hab ich das Weibsvolk-Sub auch immer so geschätzt.

Dass die Nutzerbubble hier noch ein bisschen technikaffiner und damit rein statistisch auch noch männlicher ist, ist wenig überraschend. Technikaffin bin ich auch, aber ich fühle mich manchmal ein bisschen alleine hier. Viele Memes sind offensichtlich aus männlicher Sicht und in Diskussionen gehen Kommentare, die, wenn nötig, die weibliche Perspektive ergänzen, zwar nicht so leicht unter, aber oft fehlen sie komplett. Gestern hab ich ein Meme gesehen, bei dem unterschiedliche Typen von Leuten zu irgendeinem Thema dargestellt waren und alle Platzhalter waren Männer. Gibt es eine Art Bechdel-Test für Memes?

Bin sonst eigentlich recht zufrieden hier, aber in so Momenten vermisse ich mein übriges Weibsvolk, deshalb dachte ich, ich poste meine Gedanken dazu mal hier und bringe hier vielleicht ein kleines bisschen Leben rein. Geht es euch auch manchmal so ähnlich?

Edit: Fehlerkorrektur

 

As a former rif user, I really miss being able to see where a text hyperlink will take me without having to actually follow that link. It helped me avoid websites I don't want to visit (for example because they are full of trackers or I already know there is a paywall).

In rif tapping a link opened a pop up showing the linked URL and the options to share, copy or go to that URL. But I can see how other people might dislike that extra step to follow a link, so maybe there are other options like only long tapping on a link showing the URL.

Or is there already a way to do this and I'm just ignorant?
