I love that tent! It's the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor. Beautiful campsite too.
Do you get good waterproofing on the inside part of the tent? Here in the northern part of the U.S., it gets so wet all the time that we always bring ground tarps to put under our tents.
Back then, I actually said he was one of the most dangerous people alive due to the work his company was doing on computer chips in pig brains.
Turns out I was right. The man's a real-life Gendo Ikari.
So, I get that Leolines is all made by one person, and she's doing us all a really great service, but I was disappointed by the quality after buying four and having the threads give out for three in the span of a few months. I'm still a novice steamstress, but I feel like splitting the most vulnerable point of the garment into two pieces of fabric (right where the tuck is) might be a design flaw.
Overall, I personally prefer TomboyX. The stitching method is better and has stood the test of time for me. And PAKA Apparel undies actually tuck surprisingly well too, despite not being made for trans women.
My community is lucky to have a local grocery store, and it's a co-op, so I'm very loyal to it.
Otherwise, it's hard to be a loyal customers when so many brands change for the worse. I did get a "Hey, I use their soap!" moment after seeing Dr. Bronner's post about Pride and link to multiple pro-trans organizations they donate too, especially after so many brands have backed out this year. That was nice.
In my late 20s, my metabolism has left the building, and I got my first and hopefully only vericose vein.
I still work at the entry-level job I got out of college where my wages are starting not to cut it, and I haven't gotten a raise in three years. Also starting to think about how I'll retire and whether I'll ever own a home.
It's a bit harder to make friends now, and my existing social circles are starting to drift apart as people move, get married, or have kids.
I'm noticing that I haven't completed nearly as many of the personal aspirations I thought I would have marked off by now.
The way I try to understand it is, how would Western women feel if there was a big push to make makeup illegal? On the grounds that some feminists believe it reinforces patriarchal expectations of women.
But other women, including feminists, like wearing makeup and don't wear it for men. I wouldn't want others to tell me on my behalf what I should and shouldn't wear, so we shouldn't do the same to others.
And when you look at it that way, I think a good deal of the real sentiment is just discomfort with some women wearing different cultural attire.
It's frustrating. It feels like even progressive men here (not all, but many) aren't willing to listen, while making it all about them. And because of the vast male majority, it feels like most threads on womens' issues consist of off-topic defensive comments. I don't recommend Lemmy to women either.
That being said, you're all worth it. Reddit as a whole isn't what it once was. And womens' Reddit communities tend to have lots of people, which can sometimes lead to negative spiraling when bad things happen. I get it, but it would make my mental health worse.
On Lemmy, it's a small, friendly space much like the old internet. I recognize a lot of the same folks on these communities. We uplift each other.
Lots of people here can very hostile about us being here, but we're making this place a little friendlier and more inclusive, and I'm glad we're all here. We've got each other's backs.
That's interesting. I think that seems like a good example where the roles would be reversed. I think people really do rely on stereotypes about parenting to assume dads play a secondary or otherwise nonexistent parental role, when that definitely isn't always the case. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Something one or multiple people merely think does not reveal any underlying truths. To try to find evidence, one might start from an observation and test a hypothesis. Comedians and pop culture as a whole might mirror society's ideological mores in some ways, but that alone isn't sufficient evidence that women are disproportionately intellectually dishonest or inferior.
You have some prejudiced views about women that you need to work out.
Chris Rock and other comedians' jokes are not peer-reviewed studies or discourse analyses about how women debate intellectually.
Living so close to Ontario, Canada, and getting air adisories for all the horrible wildfires they've been having, it's a little painful to see lol ๐ .
But if OP's geography allows them to do it safely, it's a really cozy portable setup.
