Wow I did not interpret the term “liberal” at all in the same way that you have. Liberalism as an ideology is centrist at best, right of center at worst if you consider the overton window in developed nations other than the US.

That one justin bieber song from when he first got famous

My hygienist recommended the waterpik sonic fusion and I’m happy with it, but the genuine brush heads are pricey and the knockoffs all use shitty bristles that don’t do a good job and fully deform within a week. I also don’t use the water flossing as much as I should but it’s nice to have.

She takes great joy in licking the condensation off the sides of any disposable cup I’m holding.

Your fault for having a cat shaped sink

Another thing you can and should do anyways is add water to their food. Even if it’s kibble. That’s how they got most of their water in nature, through food.

My cat actually prefers her kibble with a few ounces of water added now. Idk if they have a sense for things being watered down like we do, at least my cat certainly doesn’t.

In a way that is also violence or at least the threat of it

If that’s what you want to believe then I will not be the one to stop you :)

Being?

Looks like a copy/paste bot. These have been around for a while. It’s a copy of someone else’s comment on the video.

We are actively being held back by companies catering exclusively to the lowest common denominator.

If you’re just watching movies and tv I highly recommend just grabbing one of the streaming sites from the masterlist. Use a good ad blocker and you’re golden.

Yeah, obviously reactionary just means anything I personally disagree with. Duh.

I see so many comments like this across lemmy and so little offensive content from those instances that I’m really beginning to wonder who the actual propagandists are.

Originally, it was being a child and not having any money of my own, and my mom getting out her wallet to enter card information on a website she had no previous knowledge of, for something she would never use personally, was a whole… thing that I can probably count on my hands the number of times it actually happened. So I stopped even asking and figured it out myself.

Edit: also, we had netflix but sometimes the shows I wanted to keep up with were still airing and I couldn’t wait.

Now, I just don’t think any company that would take my money in exchange for, generally temporary, access to media/software really deserves or needs my money all that much, and especially not more than I do. I also strongly resent that there is not a public and legal domain for things that are older than like 5 or 10 years and not actively being worked on.

Oh I’ve tried them. Canada isn’t that far from me. They were fine.

They’re hard to find in the midwest, I’ve only ever seen them in Canada.

she’s a bigot, and an idiot.

name a more iconic duo.

Yes! On the other side of this, as a cis woman, don’t be afraid to teach her practical, hands-on skills that don’t conform to whatever ideas you have about gender roles. My dad wasn’t in my life much, though my grandfather was a fair bit. I was always jealous of the boys that were raised to have “shop” skills. I wanted to help with that kind of stuff but the adults just kind of shrugged me off, where I feel like if I was a boy I might have been invited or even volunteered to help. All the older men that have worked alongside me in shops act surprised when they see that I can hold my own around power tools. The only exception might be some of my robotics mentors.

I learned what I know mainly from a couple projects with my grandfather and some classes/clubs I took part in in high school, and while it’s something that does just click for me, I got to engineering school and felt pretty alienated when the boys had way more practical knowledge about things like cars and computer networks. Their father figures didn’t shy away from those topics with them and gave them solid foundations to build their skills upon.

Of course, you might not have those particular specialties yourself and she might grow up to be into different, traditionally “girly” things, but you won’t be able to say it was for a lack of support or because you were reluctant to share that side of yourself/your interests with her. It’s a whole level of connection that I think is too easily missed between people raised as girls and their father figures, while those raised as boys, yes, probably are more likely to miss out more on the emotional end of things. Both are important for a well-rounded human being.

Eating their young seems to be their first response to any form of stress actually
