Diaphragms are a form of birth control. They are making a joke by deliberating misinterpreting the specific meaning of the word used in an absurdist way, in the Mad Hatter style.
I just bought a house with an attached 1-bedroom apartment (with its own address). My 11-year-old daughter has already laid claims to taking it when she graduates high school. So I don't think she's feeling stifled at all, lol.
Better be prepared to pay rent if she's not in school come the fall after high school, though (I'll give her the summer to get her plans worked out).
First time I bought a firearm in my life (after 40 years on this earth) was specifically protection from bears when I moved to Alaska.
I get that I'm part of that very small percentage, but it's funny to be pointed out for it when where I am it is super common (also common to see people strapped on hiking trails with their kids and dogs).
I liked it a lot growing up in the US. I still have the mental image of them "fixing" a flat tire (by duct taping a new tire to the flat) and the good tire popping off and rolling away when they drove away.
If women can't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
To be clear, that list (aro and "black-pilled") was not all-inclusive. There are plenty of people who just don't want to date, for whatever positive reason (e.g. too busy, focusing on other things, not feeling like making the effort) or even some with negative reasons (e.g. not feeling like they are in good working order mentally, just got out of a relationship and want to spend some time on their own, trauma) that aren't aro or "black-pilled." THIS LIST IS ALSO NOT ALL-INCLUSIVE.
Also:
You're a bigot.
Just... don't. Stop throwing the word around so spuriously, or it could lose its meaning. It's an important word, and using it like that leads to the kind of linguistic drift that takes the meaning out of the language.
That is very obviously not what anyone is saying. Not dating because you are not interested in dating is different than not dating because you're down on yourself and blame the world (and those of the gender you find attractive) for creating your situation.
Yeah, that's dumber than magic underwear. That might be the dumbest religious thing (with the exception of, you know, wars) that I've seen. Calling all of Manhattan your (and specifically your) domicile doesn't stretch the meaning of domicile, it completely ignores it.
So funny enough, as an American, I have the majority of that while being in the military. We even currently have three months of maternity and paternity leave, which can be used as the member sees fit through the first year after birth.
All except the privacy laws and employee protection laws, though it can often be exceptionally difficult to fire people for reasons that don't involve the politics of the people in charge. And even then, lawsuits usually get those people backpay.
I'd be advocating for the US Coast Guard with this right now, but the current administration is shifting our focus from being a life-saving/preserving service to another border control agency, so... not a great time to be joining if it's for moral reasons. sigh
They (the mod who deleted it) mentioned "both sides." I said that two groups, for that one particular thing, both arrived at the "J.K. Rowling is bad" conclusion, and those two groups are fairly diametrically opposed. Not two sides, two separate groups.
My commentary on their "both sides" was that it was a weird take, since it's clear (if there were two sides) which "side" I was on.
The why, though, wasn't the issue, and I was attaching no commentary on their motivations (with the exception of calling the Fundeamentalists crazy, because, like... "magic is real and evil and a made-up story about a magical school promotes magic" is preeettttty crazy). It was purely the irony of seeing that post and realizing crazy Fundamentalists also hate Rowling. It's like that "two strong arms clasping together" meme, with two groups that have nothing (or worse) to do with each other having one particular thing in common.
And look, I get it. It is a touchy subject, and trans people have been getting shit on for too long (especially now) and assuming the worst intentions of comments made is probably correct way more often than it should be. But even the slightest read into anything I've said shows no ill-will against trans people and their allies (and lots against crazy Fundamentalists who believe in magic).
I got threatened with a ban on Blahaj because I pointed out basically this when somebody posted a picture of a burning Harry Potter book. It wasn't even a criticism, it was just pointing out how funny life is that, for completely opposing reasons, trans people (and allies) and crazy Fundamentalists would both support what was happening in the picture.
The author (who was apparently a mod) made some comment about "hurr durr, mah both sides" and deleted my comment. It was very confusing, as my comment showed I clearly supported one of those sides (since I even referred to the Fundamentalists as crazy).
What is this supposed to mean? Is the implication that for the past ten thousand years, everyone should have lived in constant misery, thinking of nothing but the suffering of innocents, without a moment to spare for joy or silliness?
Or are you trying to twist their words to suggest that the suffering of innocents now isn't important because it's been happening for 10k years? Because that was clearly not the message being made. The closest I could imagine is they may be pointing out that some treat pointing out innocents suffering as a fad, where people all of a sudden care and can't believe that anyone else can do or care about anything else (and will burn out and stop caring once the fad is done, whether the issue has been resolved or not).
Either way, if you spend your whole time doomscrolling and never leave yourself a space for moth memes (or whatever), you will be no help to anyone and live in impotent misery.
Even if they were trying to flirt, being told repeatedly not to do something that they keep doing anyway is not flirting.
