  • Women who consider themselves unattractive, what’s something men don’t realize about how they treat you compared to women they find attractive?

    Jump

  • "Consider themselves" is an interesting phrase. I know there are women (and others) who think of themselves as objectively unattractive, but I think the majority of us simply recognize the way we are treated by others. There are times I think of myself as pretty or cute, but I recognize that being fat makes me considered unattractive by societal standards.

    Anyway, as a result of those standards, I have never been approached by a man. I have had relationships with men, but I've always been the initiator, including online. And I've been told on lemmy that I'm clearly wrong because all women are drowning in attention from men. Which is just another way of saying people like me aren't really women.

  • What Are Your Hobbies? Trying to Find Something New

    Jump

  • Baking. It can be as simple and inexpensive, or as elaborate and costly as you want. It's very beginner friendly. And even most of your failures end up delicious.

  • Do you feel a recent sudden redditification of lemmy ?

  • Disengaging from politics on one social media platform does not mean a person doesn't pay attention or involve themselves in other places.

  • What was the last thing that made you incredibly happy?

    Jump

  • Yesterday was shite but I got to enjoy this with a critter who doesn't normally do laps.

  • Has there ever been a movie set in a superhero universe that is about a non-superhero character?

    Jump

  • Wonder Man has powers, but we see very little of them. It's mostly about a persecuted minority trying to get work as an actor. Ben Kingsley is fantastic in the show.

  • In a genderless and sexless society, what would pronouns be based on?

    Jump

  • In T Kingfisher's novel What Moves the Dead, society has extra pronouns for soldiers (and some other groups, but I can't remember who; doctors maybe). So if you enlist, you're not longer him or her, you're ka.

  • What actionable steps can you take to build community?

    Jump

  • Friend of mine started a womens' friend group in a small town. She posted the first meet up on Facebook, made it for a wine bar at a time not too many people would be there. She used an agenda, having us write and doodle answers to questions like "how did you make friends as a child?" "What has been difficult about making friends now?" "What kind of activities would you be interested in?"

    Some of the hopes for the group included things like having a place to ask for help if you needed a ride or help moving a couch, or inviting someone to just hang out for moral support while you fold laundry.

    The group set up a signal chat to make regular plans, ask for advice from people who had different experience levels, discuss current events, etc.

    I would recommend doing this with some kind of narrow focus, like a particular gender or age group, or life stage commonality.

  • OK, but I'll need to visit the White House to get a pic.

  • If you could create artistic works like the Mona Lisa(Gioconda) in better quality, should your work be considered superior to the original (ignoring its historical value)?

    Jump

  • I think the question is more interesting if you take out the "better quality" qualification. What does better quality even mean? That's too subjective. I think what we're trying to figure out is whether an original has any properties to it that a copy cannot.

    Let's say your grandma dies and leaves you something special in memory of her - a ring. Maybe it was her wedding ring and you wear it every day; it makes you feel close to her. Now say I replaced that ring with an identical copy. Does that change anything? Is there some special property imbued in the original? Does it make a difference if I tell you about the swap immediately or if you wear the "fake" for a year before finding out?

    There are forgers who can make near identical copies of art. It's illegal because no one wants a "fake." But why? In the art world, I think it has a lot to do with exclusivity. The value is in there being only one.
