  • He's a good looking guy

  • Ffs nothing is a silver bullet. It's multiple approaches that are going to help

  • That component I don't have an issue with at all, actually. But providing government sanctioned ai porn? Unlikely

  • I think this idea rests on the false premise that people both need and have a right to pornography.

    Many adults go about their lives without accessing it/getting off on it. It's not a human need like food or shelter. So government isn't going to become a supplier. Parallels could be made, I suppose, with safe injecting rooms and methadone clinics etc - but that's a medical/health service that protects both the individual and the community. I don't think the same argument could be made for a government sponsored porn bank.

  • What 14yo isn't already doing their own laundry? That's setting them up for failure/being a pain in the arse to whomever is their future partner.

  • But not isolated to 'career women', 'scarred by trauma from the past women' or womaniser men. Characters that just don't have kids because they don't want to. They don't need to be cool or deadbeat uncles/aunts either.

    I also really really really want the idea that women will lie down and die/accept doom unless they have found out recently that they're pregnant, to stop being used. Women have a will to live without gestating another lifeform.

    So many of my favourite shows and characters have been ruined by the 'oh she's pregnant' storyline. Because the writers clearly couldn't think of any other life changing or character building arc than impregnation.

  • Schitt's Creek manages this really well, though it is a TV show and has the time to do it.

  • I put interstellar on when I feel like a good blub. Very cathartic.

  • Do Americans only have a limited selection of biscuits? Oreos are so dry and tasteless. Just generic sweet. I don't get the obsession with them? I know they're vegan but I'm sure there are many other options now. Anything but this dressed up cardboard.

  • Standard issue in Australia

  • Yeah it gives me a prompt to put my phone down and go be human for a bit. I don't mind it.

  • Someone posted a survey they'd received in regards to a beef stroganoff recipe, asking them when they wanted to received notifications. One of the options was 'only if something big happens' (paraphrasing from memory).

    Absurd and ridiculous, so it's been picked up as a meta thing (you'll see people commenting about whether something big has happened), but others don't know the origin so now we're just seeing general beef stroganoff themed memes and puns.

  • You might enjoy all the Aussie dashcam compilations on YouTube. Lots of normal, level headed people going about their day, singing sweetly to the radio - then getting cut off by someone and it's 'WHATTHEFUCKCUNTAREYOUBLINDYOUSTUPIDCUNT'.

    Might scratch the itch.

    But I love this meme format. I've no beef with it.

  • Hahah yes I've seen this one! I think that's a fun prank. My version is definitely, while subtle, more malicious and reserved exclusively for arseholes

  • Fair dos. When I'm swimming proper I'll look into a fully contained waterproof option. Thanks for your input!

  • Yeah so I won't be underwater with the bones phones (they're only resistant) I'm just using a kickboard for leg rehab - phone will be pool side and I'm hoping the 10m distance allows me to use them. If not, waterproof option for the emitting device is ideal
