Why would the capitalists want misogyny? They don’t care about women’s self esteem - just their money.

I feel like there needs to be a name for this fallacy. The one where you say “society did X, and I don’t like it, so we shouldn’t do X!” As if you can just decree it and make it so, despite the fact that all social constructs are enourmously complicated and deeply ingrained in a culture.

And yet I keep seeing Trump’s name and picture next to German words I can’t read here… curious.

I dunno. I’m not Japanese.

Lol, wtf? I’ve thrown around insulation so many times without gloves. No pain in my hands!

I wear ear pro when I use my impact driver, especially in confined spaces. I don’t need to make my tinnitus worse than it already is.

Here is a much better article written by a legitimate climbing publication that actually knows anything at all about climbing:

https://gripped.com/news/adam-ondra-makes-second-free-ascent-of-dawn-wall-in-yosemite/

The article is wrong. You can clearly see Adams lead line in the picture in the article.

Adam on The Dawn Wall was super impressive - iirc, he sent the route in a single ground-up push or something like that, when it took Tommy, like, 8 years to establish the route. But he def didn’t solo it.

This is a normal human reaction.

But then you do it a few times and you get used to it.

Look up thread. Better pic posted shows it is clearly his lead line, and he has a bolt at his feet. The rope looks tight because it has friction from running through the pieces below, and because the rope has weight of its own pulling it down.

I mean, that’s not what quiet quitting is. Quiet quitting is doing the bare minimum to not get fired from your job, which is different from the bare minimum that would be reasonably expected of you. Most of the time, if your employer actually knew how much work you were doing, they would want to fire you, and it would be for-cause, because you are doing essentially nothing.

This is possible because many workplaces have very little accountability. One of the classic moves is to always be working on multiple projects - so anytime someone asks you to do something, you say “I dunno how quickly I’ll be able to get that done, I’m pretty swamped from X” - at which point everyone sagely nods and agrees that the team working on X is definitely swamped.

If your bosses actually knew that you were just lying, and were spending 7.5 hours everyday playing video games, you’d be fired. But since they don’t know that, you can keep getting paid for showing up to a few meetings every week. That’s what quiet quitting is.

What if you’ve already given yourself tinnitus?

I’ll push back a bit and say that zoning is a contributing factor to all of these things, but isn’t going to be the singular cause. Obesity, for example, clearly has to do with diet, which has to do with subsidies for some foods over others (and other factors).

But yes, zoning is very important and desperately needs reform.

It’s fine. Any detrimental effects are cumulative. Unless you are a serious DIYer or professional, you have nothing to worry about.

As an Airbnb host…

fuuuuuuuuuck

Exactly. The best way to prepare for an interview is to have a ton of savings in the bank, so you can show up with the honest attitude that it doesn’t really matter to you how the interview goes.

Agreed. This very much feels like a tertiary strategy. Far more obvious would be doing things like simply ending parking minimums - a policy that would take zero time and money to implement, and which would then encourage businesses to encourage their customers and employees to cycle, since they would then benefit from the cost savings of a smaller parking lot.

Yeah, the OOP is a serious cope. They are basically saying “nothing is ever a failure in the world of unicorn sprinkles, weeeeee!” They are invalidating people’s negative emotions about failure by trying to reframe it - but this is the behavior of narcissists who never want to admit they have failed at anything.

It’s okay to fail. It sucks. It hurts. It happens. That’s life. Accept it, learn from it, and move on.

It really is the best place. Yes, yes, “reddit bad”. But the “Ask X” subs tend to actually have some decently high quality information because they vet commenters so that actual experts in the field have a much louder voice than others. You’d have a hard time standing up a similar forum on Lemmy because (a) there isn’t as much traffic volume, so experts would be less interested in coming around and (b) because economists would quickly get tired of economically illiterate leftists asking the same questions over and over and then demonizing them when they don’t say Marx was right about everything.

Hot take: women aren’t insecure about their bodies because of advertising campaigns. They are insecure about their bodies because of real social consequences they face from the people in their everyday lives.

People treat you better when you look nice. This isn’t morally “right” or “fair”, but it is true. Intuitively or explicitly, women recognize this, and put effort into meeting society’s expectations of them. If all women woke up tomorrow and said “I am completely at peace with how my body looks”, the beauty industry would likely be largely unaffected, because they would quickly be reminded of the second order effects that their negative self image was driving them to achieve in the first place: a good partner; a better job; more, cooler friends.
