Because men and women have different body shapes. A small man and woman may need the same size but certainly not the same cut.

E: nvm i skipped over you talking about body shapes. Yes I’d agree that there should be more options, but even an overweight man will likely need and want a different cut than a woman of similar proportions. So the distinction between genders still makes sense, just that each needs to accommodate more body types.

Didn’t they revert that policy because so much of their traffic was porn?

Don’t aggregate me pal

Sounds like you might enjoy joining up. A strict day that is organized for you, physical training, and you’re getting paid.

Downside is, depending on where you live you might be sent to kill someone or get killed yourself.

Certainly true, but then it is more an issue of what opinions they are fed than them not being a direct part of the conversations, no?

I dont like working out either

Perhaps this is a little pretentious but i don’t consider the cattle type of users, who will go where the most people are, like the most popular content, and generally follow along with the digital mainstream without much thought or personal agenda, valuable additions to online conversations. As far as I’m concerned they can stay wherever they are and if needed be fed some downstream summary of what the actual people talk about elsewhere.

What helped me and my phone habits was the loss of Apollo during the API fiasco, and the immediate emergence of voyager, allowing me to simply replace the “check reddit feed” habit with “check lemmy feed”.

Plus, since lemmy is less algorithms (and users) there isn’t much urge to doomscroll.

Because it doesn’t matter how good they are when they are confronted with a bunch of guys just as good except they are a meter taller and have a wing span like a fucking condor. Those will simply be better at the game.

Arguing this, I realized you could answer your question by replacing “average height men” with “women” and you know right away why.

I’d say it is more notoriety than popularity.

They do exactly that, they mix the crushed up eggshells under the chicken feed to help them recuperate. As for when they get old, they keep them until they die naturally, though they have also given some older chickens to an animal sanctuary/petting zoo thing in the region before.

I certainly abhor industrial scale animal abuse as is practiced, but as a life long vegetarian myself who is used to more harmonious animal husbandry I also believe there is an ethical way of keeping animals as livestock (and benefiting from their produce).

My mom and her husband have a handful of chickens in their garden. They have a large, fenced off area surrounding the garden where they can move about freely, a well kept and insulated shed for the nights and they get fed with quality feed and often some treats and tablescraps they enjoy (they just love spaghetti for example). The chickens have names, adore their humans and are more like pets than livestock.

How is that animal abuse?

Thinking of it perhaps it is the client I use that does it, voyager. I have never not been using it ever since I joined lemmy so i often forget that i might have a different experience than other users.

I have a sum total displayed in my profile which works as I described, and assumed that is what everyone gets to see.

If it is the same as for me it should be the sum of your posts and comments. What and how popular wouldn’t matter, just each submission equals one point.

Your threat model seems… Interesting lol. Is there a high chance of people trying to aggressively plant a tracker on you when out in the open?

Our car centric world. We have somehow intersected everything and everywhere with death zone strips where people can’t go. And that’s entirely normal and accepted.

Neurodivergent, no need to be specific

Only If i want to not sleep a second that night. Gotta rehearse the two sentences I have to speak 9 hours from now in my mind in perpetuity.

Thanks for your insights, now that you mention it I have noticed the tendency for husbands of women to chime in instead of the wives themselves quite a bit. I didn’t realize it was that ubiquitous.

I will try to make a conscious effort to pay attention to these tendencies you describe, and also thank you for sticking it out 💪
