In my experience it’s easy to tell when a guy is only being friendly with a girl because he wants to fuck her and when he’s genuinely bring her friend.

It’s not misogyny to think other men would try to fuck your girlfriend. Especially if she remains in contact with someone who is only her friend because he’s trying to fuck her.

I don’t trust other men to respect boundaries. If another man is only friends with my girlfriend because he wants to fuck her then he’s already the type of man I wouldn’t trust not to make unwanted moves.

She might not reciprocate but that’s not what I’m worried about in this scenario.

I don’t see it that way at all. He can trust her while not trusting the people she associates with.

I’ve had this issue with multiple girlfriends (who all ended up with one of the guys I warned them about). It’s easy to tell when a guy is only being friendly to try to fuck a girl. Pointing that out isn’t controlling in my eyes it’s trying to be protective.

I’ll grant you he shouldn’t have said “stop hanging out with them” but the main point is there if you don’t have the knee jerk reaction to the phrasing.

His friends aren’t his friends because they want to fuck his girlfriend. They were his friends before he had a girlfriend.

Her guy friends are only friends with her because they want to fuck her.

Those are completely different things in this small window of context.

I feel like there’s a difference between the two but judging by this comment section lemmy doesn’t do nuance.

Out of all of our senses, smell is the one that triggers memory the quickest. The olfactory nerves in your nose are extremely sensitive and have a direct line to the long term memory part of the brain

That doesn’t mean “where are you” it means “why are you”. That’s why she goes on to say “would a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?” because she’s venting about how, if he didn’t have the family name he has, their love wouldn’t be forbidden.

Gestures at the current state of America

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises “looked nasty”.

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can’t comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there’s eleventy billion versions of the same community.

The irony of that is after I threw it I screamed “You have one fucking job! BE a dvd player!”

Yeah it wasn’t capitalists that gave me this mindset. It was researching human history. And it’s completely filled with slavery, racism, unnecessary wars, torture, religious persecution, the list is damn near endless.

If humans are so easily swayed to abhorrent violence then at a certain point you have to realize it’s our nature. Peace is just something wishful people dream of.

So y’all just gonna ignore all of human history showing that it’s not a modern thing?

Humans have been dog shit from the beginning. Always at war, multiple genocides, constant ethnic cleansings, torture en masse, all of these things have been prevalent in all of recorded history.

As bad as capitalism is it’s just another example of humanities inability to just be fucking decent to each other.

Had a dvd player that would skip all the time even if it was a brand new dvd. Got pissed off and threw it at the wall. Girlfriend plugged it back in a couple hours later and it never skipped again.

Have you never heard of an accent before?

I’ve actually been to a native american restaurant. It was on a reserve. They served buffalo burgers. It was fucking delicious.

There’s a couple for me.

Prioritization of tasks. The flaming pot is more important than the smoking oven.

The ability to move through a dense group of people without disrupting anyone.

Sense of urgency. You need to move with intention and do it quickly.

Injury assessment. You’re not going home because you got 1st degree burns. Grit your teeth and push through. If you cut yourself it’s a different story but unless your skin is sloughing off your fine.

I’m a lifelong cook. Been working in kitchens since I was 15 and I’m currently training to be the sous chef at my current location.

People shit on food service workers but the amount of practical real life skills I’ve acquired over the years has actually come in handy quite a few times.

The fact that there is no discernable difference between an alive body or a dead body when it comes to chemical makeup.

All the pieces are there. All the atoms and molecules are still in the same places. Yet despite this the body is still dead.

It’s moments like this that remind me that I have no ability to put things together.

Funny how I rarely hear about racism in other countries. Except when someone like me brings up that other countries are also extremely racist but it’s been so normalized it’s not newsworthy.
