  • aw. I'm melting.

    I had a boy with a weak back left leg, Pipo. He trained out the disability, so it was probably not as serious as whatever Honey Pie has. I made a litterbox with a step so he could climb in, but he didn't need it long. He also wasn't particularly vocal...

  • It's a very common thing (polygamy) over here in Mayotte, parts of my inlaw family practice it. It comes from Islam. For reference, Islam as it is practiced here is quite a bit different than anywhere else, I'm not a scholar but my understanding is it's amalgamated with east african tradition in ways that sometimes seem antagonistic. For one, families are matrilinear and men go live with their wives upon marriage, in their house, on their land plots.

    In any case it's definitely a stormy topic. For one it's very entrenched in ways, and many wives roll with it seemingly by default. However, frequently it looks more like resignation than acceptance (that's my personal conclusion after a lot of observation and conversation with relevant people). The opposite (polyandry) is systematically (and immediately) dismissed by men upon my mentioning. So, my takeaway is it's definitely a power over women thing. "To the privileged, equality feels like oppression" right?

    As a regular, run-of-the-mill straight man, I love the idea of having multiple wives. But give it a couple seconds' thought and it just... doesn't stand to scrutiny. That means twice the financial support, twice the fatherly presence (which polygamous men in my environment almost all lack, unfortunately, that's also an observation made over many years)... and living with the knowledge that your first wife probably accepts it out of resignation (because it's likely to be ruled "lawful" by the local qadi in case you go and ask for a ruling). Is it worth some more pussy? I can understand that some men think this way. But I wouldn't

  • they stack eggs in 3D ?!

  • 144 ? is that 9 times 16 ? I'm trying to figure out the carton shape

  • Flat earth, lol. Or more acccurately : space, and our place in it. In retrospect, for most of these conversations I might have been really exchanging with bots. Who knows !I value my time more these days, but back then I discussed with perhaps a couple dozen people and out of these, a single one listened to me : it was on a publication by some "space" page, and the guy did not understand how stars did not appear to move in the sky if the Earth was really moving through space at 2 million 600 thousand kilometers per day. So I proceeded to give him an idea of the scales involved : the size of the solar system, of our galactic neighbourhood, etc. I left him with a bunch of links for science communication

    Btw : all of the flat earthers or otherwise flat spacers I encountered were from the US

  • wow, they sell eggs in powers of two ?

    edit do you routinely buy eggs by the hundreds ? is that 8 times 16 eggs ? 16 times 8 eggs ?

  • There are also some really bad aspects to it,

  • Not trying to invalidate your feelings, but I have the exact opposite takeaway from Lemmy, as it stands. I wonder what weighs into producing such confronting experiences? If you could be specific and gather examples, maybe we could discuss it in less vague terms. I'm also kinda wary of sounding too serious when asking for hard data like this, and unwittingly contributing to the statistic. shit! reel me up I'm in too deep
