  • I think people made a confusion between "I want to have sex with women, but currently am unable to" (as in, actual incel) and "Women have too much power in the market for sex, we were denied it, and we have to force women to serve us" (as in, patriarchal shitheads but also commonly referred to as incels).

    Unfortunately, it is the second one that is pushed most loudly inside and outside incel communities and thereby most commonly discussed, and as with any batshit idea, it faces aggressive response (and it should, we just have to separate two things).

    That's how the original pity party of patriarchal incels got weaponized against incels as a whole.

  • Yep! Oladii are cooked differently from pancakes and are not derived from them, but by the looks they are quite similar (although they are larger in volume)

    Alternatively to kefir, yeast can be used, but this is regionally dependent. Baking powder/soda are not commonly used, unlike the American pancakes, because oladii rely on leavening for higher volume and richer aroma.

    There are also syrniki (сырники) made with cottage cheese and flour. They are not leavened.

  • I bought a 15 year old second-hand Brother laser printer - works like a charm, operates under both Windows and Linux, still has all the spare parts you can think of readily available, and you can just load any toner into the official cartridge to use it again, and again, and again.

    Love it. Simple, dirt cheap, just works and does it well.

  • I think it actually covers two different scenarios.

    There are cases of men not listening to women and what women have to say (and vice versa, let's not forget that). Those can be women's rights issues, personal struggles, just everyday things etc. etc. - something people need or want to share.

    And there are cases of women (and sometimes men, too) intentionally putting an enigmatic air because they think they are more attractive this way, or because they don't know how to approach things in communication, or because of anxieties.

    Or, often times, people don't say something because they expect a negative reaction, commonly by extrapolating from their beliefs about a wide group of people, so even if someone's actually willing to listen, it will never get there.

  • I'll do a fair run without googling:

    It's located in the Far East

    It has issues with some ethnicity that the government tries to genocide and/or push outside the country (for religious reasons?..)

    It has a star on its flag and three stripes (you have it on the picture, but I remember it regardless; not the colors though)

    That's about it, to be honest. Not the most represented country, and I'd love to know more.

  • Might actually be good in some ways - less options to hide ill-gotten gains, or to award people wildly different salaries based on what they're ready to settle for.

    I believe in Sweden, for example, the information on income should legally be public for everyone.

  • Yes. Bitcoin, as most cryptocurrencies, has an open ledger, meaning all transactions (and, by extension, wallet amounts) in the network are public. Everyone can see any transactions associated with any wallet.

    Thereby, if someone knows a certain person is an owner of a given wallet (and the effort is to associate those two things by introducing identity verification on all major exchanges), they can know every transaction you have ever made. In fact, there are several analytical companies (for example, Chainalysis) that process this very information in bulk to help authorities combat criminal activity.

    There are cryptocurrencies in which this data is encrypted, like Monero. There, you cannot view transactions associated with the wallet address unless you got a special key only the wallet owner can give to you.

    There are also cryptocurrencies like Zcash, in which you can choose whether to encrypt your transactions or not.

  • I'd love to see a crypto scam that would send money back with the message along the lines of "okay, you shouldn't have done this. Here's your money, don't fall for that stuff again"

  • Many folks on the Fediverse got random messages from "Nicole" always starting with the string how she's a 29yo Polish girl from Toronto and inviting people over to her socials.

    They come from various throwaway accounts. I personally got about 6 or 7 of those.

    As Fediverse doesn't currently have a robust framework for combating such behavior, this poses a new challenge for the devs. In the meanwhile, this has become a local meme
