^Invisible disability sufferers when people say ‘but you don’t look disabled’

I’ll take a dog over a kid screeching in a store.

This says more about how women are socially pressured to wear make up, dress well, wax, and de-age themselves or risk being labeled as ‘unwomanly’ or become irrelevant.

How many men do you know feel pressured to put the same effort into their appearances as the average woman does?

And don’t tell me how working out counts. One, there are zero health benefits to putting on make up. Two, women are incessantly reminded about losing weight rather than just be healthy whether it’s from the media, advertisements, or just people using ‘fat’ as an insult especially for middle aged women.

How often do you hear old women being complimented on their appearances compared to old men? Forget about appearances, how often are they relevant in conversations? Invisible Woman Syndrome is almost like a super power.

Fun fact: women spend more time refuting casually sexist claims than men spend making them.

Make the term ‘man’ gender neutral and make ‘maleman’ the new word for male humans. Then we can have ‘mailmaleman’.

Can we not gaslight and invalidate people for asking for less cancer inducing food?

When people say ‘processed’ or ‘chemicals’ colloquially, they mean excessive nitrates and nitrites which are carcinogenic. But you already know that. You’re just being pedantic so you could kiss the ass of big ham.

It’s astounding how effective the marketing was to shrug off regulatory concerns on nitrates and nitrites into an overreaction by ‘ma’ams’ and other grocery shopping women. Just take any valid concern and pin it onto an already ridiculed demographic and voila, you’ve made it popular with the internet.

And if you make her go outside, that’s the death sentence for all three generations in your family

What is this shit meme format doing in 196

Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

Before anyone asks, no, ‘salt’ doesn’t refer to sodium chloride in this context but rather curing salt or sodium nitrite.

‘Unprocessed ham’ is just a consumer term for ‘uncured ham’, which ironically is still cured, just with sodium chloride and not sodium nitrite. But sure let’s pretend every ‘Ma’am’ asking for nitrite-free ham is just a homeopathic dunce asking for the non-existent.

PSA: It is possible to get stomach ulcers if you consistently take ibuprofen for too long. This is dangerous because these ulcers have a risk of becoming cancerous.

I was ulcerated because of undiagnosed chronic pain that was not taken seriously until I fucked up my stomach by taking max dose of ibuprofen for months to deal with the unending pain and suffering. Don’t do that. Instead, find a doctor who gives a shit if you can afford it, or take CBD or marijuana if you can’t.

There are only two genders: man and political.

There are probably more women with internalized misogyny than men who are feminist. This is not to say that there are few male feminists, there is just a lot of women in the world and not everyone has caught up yet.

That’s rich coming from someone who unironically says ‘L + ratio’. Nothing is being misrepresented here because there’s nothing to misrepresent. All I’ve heard so far are regurgitated catch phrases from Lemmy and Reddit, and that alone doesn’t make for a housing proposal that’s grounded in reality.

I grew up abroad and lived in high density public housing with walkable neighborhoods and universal healthcare care. That is as good as it can get and how it should be.

When I moved to the US I accepted that this country is fucked in ways that can’t be fixed by just deleting landlords. The system that you have in mind isn’t functional for the low density urban sprawl that is vastly separated by inhospitable zoning, high ways, and red lining.

You can’t copy what works in some places and expect it to work the same way in others. Publicly own and co-owned housing needs constant attention and that can only work when it is high density because you can’t expect a single property manager to walk a hundred miles taking care of the concerns of each house hold. You can’t hire a property manager for each household because that would be insanely expensive. Not to mention how much more the upkeep is for single family housing compared to apartments.

People on Reddit and Lemmy have a visceral reaction towards landlords with an absurd understanding of how property management, the housing market, urban planning, and zoning works.

There are systemic barriers beyond just landlords that make widespread publicly owned housing non-viable. When you start out with an impossible goal, you get nothing done. Actually advocate for things that make a difference like increasing mixed used and high density zones in your local area. Saying ‘get rid of landlords’ is about as lackadaisical as saying ‘abolish jobs’. As nice as that would be, it’s not realistic in this economy and you’re not getting anywhere by sounding like a nut job to the socially regression crowd.

People on Lemmy and Reddit are young and quixotic. I get it, it’s great to dream big. But when all you do is dream, nothing will come out of it. Be realistic and make a difference. Visit the countries that you see these ideal housing situations in, understand the history, the culture, and how they got to where they are. The economy and housing market is path dependent. You can’t jump from A-Z and expect the same outcome.
