I’m really interested in the different reactions of the two litigious guys.. (in all of it of course, but especially that)

Kaechele admits the museum has amassed a “large file” of complaints over Ladies Lounge. But apart from the current case, only one other complainant has sought formal redress.

“Like Jason, he felt it was sexual discrimination and wanted access for men. And when I said, ‘well, men can’t come in’, he said ‘then why should I have to pay the same amount if I don’t get to experience the artwork?’ And I said, ‘you do experience the artwork, because the rejection is the artwork’. And he understood that and he appreciated it and he dropped the case.”

The one understood that his discomfort with it was the point, and something women have experienced throughout their lives, and was willing to listen and learn. And the other, still suing, still feels entitled to women’s spaces. Because of course. Lots of men like that.

I’m curious how this will play out, even though I’m not from your country :p This whole article just felt really good in a lot of ways.

You know what else monitors my activity levels and provides calorie intake suggestions and food suggestions based on that and macro/micro nutrient levels?

My body, via hunger and food cravings. And it’s free! (for me)

And I can 100% guarantee this little device isn’t going to know what I’m actually in the mood for, so it will literally never be what it suggests.. Plus my fridge is sad single person fridge half the time - most of my food is dry goods (which it has no ability to track), and I get what produce I need when I need it or it goes bad.

Samsung: “You have beer, milk, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, sweet chili, and jelly in your fridge. Make it a soup I guess? I can’t work under these conditions! I’m going to order you real food and then tell you to cook it.”

Me: “No samsung, I don’t feel like cooking today, that’s why I don’t have any food to make.”

Samsung: “Did I stutter?”

Real talk tho, their smart TVs aren’t even any good -regretfully I have one-, which doesn’t build confidence for their even-more-niche smart stuff, why would anyone want all this other trash?

The thing I saw a while back showed It was tiered, I think 5 tiers, based on karma, with the last wave of people getting the offer being those with like 5k or some ridiculously low number basically meaning they offered it to nearly everyone.

If they had sold the shares with the first few waves it wouldn’t have gotten to the low karma users, which probably means it wasn’t well received.

So does that mean we probably have brains of other preserved and possibly extinct species..? That would be pretty neat.

You can do what I did most recently.

I said “you have a special going on, so I want flower up to the limit for the special, good fun stuff, nice variety, preferably heavy on couch-lock weed. You can mix and match and I’ll just pay for it.”

Works out really well. I didn’t have to pretend to give a shit about their claims of how it tasted or what it would do (“smoke” and “high” respectively, per usual), didn’t have to pretend I cared what the names or blends were, like just give me weed please and thanks. Like my dealer never gave me options?? Just give weed, here’s money. I don’t want to talk to you about the weed just sell it to me before this is uncomfortable.

The first half of the video is just the one looking at the other one like “well, did it kill you or not?” And then there’s a cut and you see that no, it’s fine! :) let’s all have noodles!

That’s super weird. Thanks for answering :)

That just means you need to have something more to offer them than money. Women want a partner, not a provider. They want someone they can talk to, who will treat them as an equal and defer to their expertise when situations call for it, but challenge them to learn and grow when it’s called for. Partnership is mutually beneficial. And they want this regardless of the culture/country they come from.

They want to be treated like equal people. If you can do that you’ll be just fine, I promise the bar is super low globally. You’ll find the right person for you if you treat them like people; that’s all they are and they like being treated that way.

That was a really fun read. I lost some faith in humanity but it was the wavering variety anyway that comes and goes with the social tides. Tide goes in, tide goes out.

Having been the “checks all the boxes they say they want” lady, this actually kinda checks out.

Because in practice, it’s not what a lot of folks expect. Heaven forbid you make someone feel dumb by talking to them as an equal. So you get rejected (after putting in effort) for being what they asked for.

Fair point. I guess I could see that being an edge case use. I had no idea they could do that.

Are 3d files easier to come by these days? Haven’t looked in years but at the height of the 3d craze, when the TVs were available (are they still a thing? Serious question since you have one), the files were hard to come by.
