if you know about Chinese society in general today women are not kept or seen in a much better status than thousand years ago.
how did you forget about footbinding??? is this a joke?
women aren’t liberated anywhere on Earth but I am confident that the situation of Chinese women has improved from their previous two options: (1) serf or (2) broken feet
no I want to be babied
mods can we PLEASE get a lemmy emoji
I don’t think you should be able to drive a motorcycle without a license (which should require taking a course and exam). They hit 140+mph and cannot brake as quickly as cars. Without knowing how to ride and to follow rules of the road, they are a life-threatening danger to other people.
So if bicycle = moped and moped = motorcycle, ebikes are capable of highway speeds. Do you think they should require driver’s licenses?
what would you say the difference is between a moped and a motorcycle?

It’s history backwards: slaves were trafficked not just as “unskilled” labor, but because they knew how to do stuff.
Blind tests specifically? Take, e.g., soda and diet soda, decant into identical containers with hidden labels, drink one, and log any effects before you check what it was. The brain is powerful. Some people experience real headaches because they think that WiFi or other RF gives them headaches. But they won’t get a headache from radio waves they don’t know about.
I don’t intend this in a mean way. If you do find out that it’s something else you could get relief from said migraines. Like the MSG folks who are probably just not drinking enough water when they go out to dinner, or are nervous about Asians or something. I once took placebo and a low dose of MDMA in a blind study and got them backwards. I was embarrassed for some reason but our brains really do construct much of what we perceive as raw sensory input.
I just know if I have more than 1 serving it gives me migraines
Might want to blind test this if you haven’t already. See: MSG panic
i have no idea who empress is and assumed that she is trans and this was a chaser-type transphobia cw lol
the apps are such shit. probably two thirds of the profiles I see are just women trying to get followers for their instagram. then there’s the snapchat in bio scammers, the sex workers with a location 1000 miles away. Plus the godawful gender ratio and it’s just a horrible demoralizing experience
I still do it though, I have one (1) semi-regular FWB I met on an app so I guess it’s worth it? :/
I think hexbear sent me here: https://elan.school/. Graphic novel about a troubled teen abuse camp stemming ultimately from Synanon. Content warning: this sent me into a funk for like a day.
Let the record show I had this idea May 31st and then didn’t do anything about it. Price is up 18% since then, but most of that started in November so I would have lost money on short-term calls anyway.
6 months isn’t bad. I think the play is LEAPs or literally buying stock on margin, plus whatever short you can cobble together for the rest of the industry.
