Youre better off asking why women overall are more likely to read. It follows that more women would be authors. And it gets even worse if you’re looking at book club participation where women are much more likely to participate ime as the frequent only man at book clubs.

For your fantasy book authors, you probably were expecting the opposite because society historically pushed male authors to the forefront and you can still see this today where many people will list their top fantasy books and not a single woman author can be found. This is either inadvertent or intentional sexism.

I have a Kobo. My wife has kindle. Kindle is better if you want kindle unlimited. Kobo is better for everything else as far as I’m concerned. Especially if you want to sideload your own books via calibre or just dropping them onto the device when plugged into your computer. My kobo hooks up directly with overdrive/libby for borrowing books from the library and does everything i need it to.

I don’t have a specific model to recommend though. Mine is nearing 8-10 years old and still working

The older i get, the more true this is

When he died, we all could finally breathe.

Why didn’t he fight for me and his relationship

Instead of asking yourself why he didn’t fight for you and your relationship, tell yourself that you are worth more than that. I know it’s easier said than done but the idea is to have some self worth and to know your worth. Don’t let people walk over you, and that also means don’t give a get out of jail free card for any unknown thing he may have done. That is belittling to yourself and you’re worth more than that. He made a choice, and if he doesn’t want to fight for you then don’t fight for him.

Beyond that, find a new hobby or interest and dive into that. Bonus points if it is some kind of group where you meet new people. Find ways to be happy with yourself before the next relationship.

Best of luck. And I’ll add to the choir that time does help. It may feel like you’re drowning now but everything will be ok and work out for the best.

If you use voyager (app to access lemmy) then you can go to settings -> user tags -> track votes and turn it on. It will then show a running counter next to people’s names for the total number of upvotes/ downvotes you’ve given someone.

Not baiting. I just genuinely don’t find content from this community funny when it shows up in my feed. And if you can’t explain what is funny about this post without thinking its bait then maybe you should reflect on that.

Without context this isn’t funny and the most i can get out of it is that it is fat shaming and/or shaming unshaved legs

I think there are at least 3 idiots here:

• The suv driver. fairly obvious
• The mixer driver. They shouldn’t have been driving fast enough where sudden breaking would make them lose their load. Also may have been overfilled.
• The property owner of the property suv driver is pulling out of. The tree/shrubs block a good portion of the view into the roadway. The shrub is overgrown into the sidewalk and makes it a blind turn unless you pull Into the sidewalk and the curb.
• there may be a bunch of idiots with city planning/ zoning to allow the bush to be placed so close to the roadway in the first place

As funny as the gif is, this could’ve been avoided if there was one less idiot

It seems pretty obvious that “real men do what they want” is pointing out toxic masculinity. IOW the whole “real men” with qualifiers is bullshit.

I think that’s just a Firefox acct that uses firefox sync if you enable it. To remove it turn off sync and i imagine you can log out of the acct.

I haven’t been on reddit since i joined lemmy and i have zero interest in returning even though none of my accts were ever banned

Yeah fingerprinting can isolate you pretty well. The whole ad/ marketing industry ‘depends’ on it. If you have webgl enabled you’re fucked because they’ll get a whole bunch of information on your monitors and gpu which is a good identifier even if two people have the same gpu. Apart from webgl, there are also tracking techniques with Javascript, invisible pixels, local storage, ip addresses, etc.

If you want to start protecting yourself a bit more then look into librewolf (a hardened Firefox fork) and turn off Javascript unless you explicitly allow it on a given site. There’s more you can do but like i said this would be a “start”

Good for the kid

Isn’t that an open source project? How else do you want them to make money?

Yes it feels sketchy but the major credit bureaus already have a file on you regardless. It is a bit of a hassle to do the freezes but the reality is that with so many data beaches out there, someone could easily steal your identity and open up accounts under your name if they wanted. This makes that much harder for them to do.

There are vegan egg substitutes like a flax egg. Here’s my favorite waffle/pancake recipe.

It’s all intentional to get you to walk around the store more so you make more impulse buys. Same reason stores will reorganize things from time to time
