  • 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.





  • 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.







  • 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





  • 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”
