  • Weirdly, I'm similar from the opposite side. I can see how it tastes soapy to people, I kinda detect the soapyness too. But it doesn't ruin it for me, I like cilantro.

    Candied ginger tastes like soap to me though. Fresh or powdered ginger doesn't.

  • Choices

  • To add to this: pretty much nobody thinks skinny people are attracted. It's a constructed ideal that many want to achieve, but few want to see in a potential partner.

    Source: used to be skinny and bullied for it

    Btw it also feels like shit. You're tired all the time, you're cold all the time, when you sit on something solid, like wood, it hurts because there's no fat between your pelvis and the chair, and that'll give you back pain.

    Just thought this was relevant because 'it's unhealthy' is sometimes too abstract for people to care

  • This would be true in a vacuum where marginalization and power dynamics don't exist. It's a symptom of women's systemic oppression and needs to be called out as that in order to fight womens oppression. Especially since this is happening in the public eye and thus shaping people's views. I'm not doubting the women are consenting, and they're not to blame at all. It's Leo and the media and public opinion that are doing harm by framing this situation as desirable.

  • Nothing I said could even be reasonably misconstrued to indicate that I do.

    I'm asking people to examine their potential biases when they are ok with the symptoms of the marginalisation of certain groups of people.

    The people who use what society reduces them to to their benefit in the few instances that they can arent to blame in the slightest btw. I just hope they'll get past this without trauma, unlike every woman I know that dated an older man very shortly after becoming a legal adult.

  • You're right, those are to blame too. That's why I made the comment. I didn't think it'd reach Leo. I thought I'd make a person or two think about whether that's ok behaviour to emulate and an ok view on women to have.

  • Dating women who are just old enough to be legal but only while they look youthful. While being in a societal position where your life is public and you can do whatever you want, the latter of which many look up to. This normalizes dating women for looks, namely for looking young, instead of for having things in common. This doesn't exactly improve how women are viewed. Youngness isn't a woman's biggest asset and we shouldn't encourage the normalization of the view that it is. The fact that some women are complicit in this doesn't change it.

  • That's what I thought, which is why I don't get the meme. Who is it talking about? Who has learned about GR but gets confused by manifolds? How else would they have learned GR?

  • Semi-hijacking: delivery apps are notoriously good at finding legal loopholes and can very often pay sub minimum wage in places other than the US too. As a European, I try not to order food from them, but when I do, those are the only people I tip more than 10%/rounding up.

  • Is there a way to learn general relativity WITHOUT those concepts? My curriculum made sure to introduce all that before going into GR, didn't know that wasn't common. Guess that was my point of confusion.
