Couldn't hear the TV over my crunchy snacks

While I fully agree there is a difference between "desperate for sex men" and "entitled to sex men", I would be willing to bet that one of the easiest groups to convert to the latter... is the former.

Not that I'm one to talk, I didn't fall down the pipeline during a decade long dry spell. So my anecdotal experience would lead me to believe there has to be other factors at play. But still, it's easier to tempt a hungry person to violence.

Sounds like someone is feeling a bit Pisces today

Can we split the difference and just say he fucking raped children?

You might be right. I was getting Dell Latitude vibes from it:

Not a Macbook (Windows key is a dead giveaway), looks like a Dell. And if that is the case, very high chance the battery is actually under the track-pad, and that curvature near the middle is just how it is shaped.

The answer: Yes!

The why: Why not?

ITT: A Lemmy Classic. Where we all agree with each other very angrily based on which part of the stuff we agree on comes first and then declare these similarities irreconcilable.

Home is where the heart is! So your real home's in your chest!

We rarely have other viable options. Long before most of us were born, the U.S. built an infrastructure centered around cars, sidelining other forms of transportation.

In America, owning a car is often the key to freedom of movement. So it's no surprise people equate cars with freedom. Getting people to see how car dependency actually limits our freedom is like trying to wake someone from the Matrix.

I think there’s a broader spectrum of jealousy than just “none at all” and “I’ll fight anyone who looks at my partner.” A little jealousy is normal, even in healthy relationships. We’re all human, after all.

Giving anon the benefit of the doubt, I’d guess they were hoping for just a healthy dose of jealousy. You know, as a treat.

Nah, I agree with you. While it definitely has a “teen romance drama” vibe, anon’s list just boils down to “I want to be loved” (and who doesn’t?). Sure, it might not be realistic, and it could be unhealthy if those are the expectations they hold for a real partner 24/7. But as a daydream? We’ve all had those dramatic, impractical fantasies. Entire media franchises are built on this kind of wish fulfillment, and plenty of people who enjoy them still have perfectly healthy relationships.
