Nobody hates leftists like other leftists with a slightly different flavour of leftism. This is by tradition as long as the leftist discourse has been up. Plenty of people find it unthinkable with nuances or compromises even for communal goals that would benefit everybody.

Add to this that social media is inherently toxic and anonymity brings out the absolute worst in many people to spew hate for slight differences in opinion.

It’s too bad but I’d recommend you to not get caught up in it and don’t let it get to you. People are people and the chances that they will change in any foreseeable future are small. Keep doing what you think is positive and constructive and don’t let others make you disappointed.

My dog has woken up from his own farts and gotten angry at his butt for making a smell.

Where I am it is frowned upon with men going topless in public spaces unless it is a beach or some private area or they are doing heavy work in particularly hot weather and not just regular spring or summer. It is tolerated but barely so that men are running or exercising without a shirt. Women with just a sport bra or even a bikini top are quite common though, both in exercise and even in town. Personally I think it is equally tacky to be undressed like that regardless of gender, but I’m not really bothered enough to care. It would be considered very rude and sexist to comment on a women in bikini top to dress up though, unless it was upon entry to a space or venue where people are expected to wear appropriate clothes. Clubs tolerate women in barely tops but would not accept a man bare chested.

In business it is expected that men are fully dressed and buttoned to regardless the temperature while women can wear whatever clean and neat that is not showing off too much skin. In casual situations women can have any amount of cleavage but if a man buttons down the shirt so that the top hairs of his chest are showing it is an open invitation for ridicule for trying to be macho even if it is obviously for trying to cool down in 35°C weather. Unbuttoning a shirt all the way is a definitive no-no unless you’re a teen or a country bumpkin.

On beaches anybody can be wearing anything though on regular beaches some sort of bottoms are mandatory. From tiny string bottoms only to shorts or swimming suit to burqini. In “proper” sauna you are not allowed swimsuits or shorts at all for hygiene reasons but in public sauna they are mandatory.

So, you see, it is not binary good and bad and humans and society is more complicated than men horny.

Take a moment to think about the good things you have. Bring this state of mind in your daily ventures. Notice more good things you have not thought about before. Imagine life without. Think of people living without them. Appreciate that you have them.

Wild strawberries grow small and give very tasty little fruits. They are easy to grow on a balcony though quite dramatic and need plenty of water when there is sun and heat. First year they didn’t give almost any fruit but second year on I have a handful of harvest daily all of late summer. Very satisfying.

I’ve tried having small bushes of goose berries but they got hit with mildew, probably because there wasn’t enough exchange of air.

Try different things, see what works where you are.

Pick some fresh berries from my balcony planter. Do a little happy dance while eating them.

There are terrible people everywhere and in particular everywhere online.

This is why I would never be bothered moderating and I am reluctant to release anything to the public of what I do for my own enjoyment. Cheers to moderators and people that post their art and comics and other stuff online.

Dude, this is exactly what you are doing. You have wandered into the fediverse that welcomes everybody and you are upset that not everybody agrees with you on everything and that justifies you being a dick. You are exactly the thing you are hating on in your head canon self righteous hero narrative.

Take this moment to reflect on your first instinctual mental response. Is it “but that’s because I’m right”? Think about this and what it implies.

The time when people were doing strange and funny websites by cut and paste design on Geocities and Angelfire, new music was found on MySpace, vinyl rips of rare obscurities were posted on blogs you follow in Reader and expanding your music catalogue was amazing on SoulSeek.

I’m quite happy that movie distribution have evolved beyond blocky 1-2CD DivX;-) though.

Instructions unclear, dick computer stuck in post.

The first sequel is so so, but the others that are all centered around Burt Gummer are plenty of silly fun too.

Why would it be? What would planetary time solve that local time makes an obstacle?

If I’ve got it, I’d lend my long time best friends up to €1000 without question. I would not really expect them to pay it back. I trust that if or when they can they will. If they can’t, they can’t. People that are not my besties? No.

A fringe case I’ve found ChatGPT very useful is to learn more about information that is plentiful but buried in dead threads in various old school web forums and thus very hard to Google. Like other people’s experiences from homebrewing. Then I ask it for sources and most often it is accurate to the claims of other homebrewers that also can be correct or less correct.
