That’s fair, you’re right. I was pulling my comment from memory of him fighting against de-regulation of corporations, which I consider to be an anti-capitalist stance. But I shouldn’t have conflated the two.

Saying that Bernie is garbage because he didn’t dismantle the two party system seems a bit extreme. He actually has joined third parties but they didn’t take off. He’s also definitely anti-capitalist.

Wow another Okie!

Crazy storms in the Tulsa area for us btw. And probably why I also see Harris Walz signs. We’re about to get a Democrat for a mayor!

Oops, sitting

Years ago a Psych episode had Burton say “all the men’s health journals agree” that it’s better for your circulation, and I never looked back (nor fact checked).

Valheim is one of the better in the genre. Idk why but the building is so satisfying!

Instructions unclear, discussed sexual boundaries with my players.

If you never sell, you don’t lose money /fivehead

The sequel has infinitely more playability IMHO, I love it.

It’s supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.

Edit: it’s also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.

Thank you for actually providing an explanation beyond stating the word “science”

There might be a “fixed height” setting in the display settings.

A lovely lady behind the Wendy’s

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.

You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:

• Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep

• Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.

I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.

There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.

I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.

Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.

You are 100% correct.

I think OP agrees with you too, but the question is more around the “why”. Once, we were also like animals, and didn’t have clothing. To the animal brain, things like large breasts or wide hips means better reproduction. Did we start to cover up because it was cold and we got sick? It makes more sense to me that we started for practical reasons, and the hyper-sexualization came later, probably with religion.

Today, women are sexualized to an insane degree, and expanded to any number of inane body parts and not just breasts.

I think OPs question could also be phrased as “why did sex become so taboo?” And we might get a broader picture.

As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.

I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.

What if I call it Tylenol but always buy the generic anyway?
