    My 97-year-old great-grandma once said, “In my youth, being a mistress was more advantageous than being a wife for a woman.” How factual do you think this statement is for that time period?

    Jump

  • Yeah, sorta. Depends. Mistresses had the fun as long as they didn't want more, but also being a single woman with strange men coming out of your house at random times didn't do wonders for local reputation.

    Sure, you were free and could go places a wife wouldn't be able to. And yet being tied down to someone during the bad times could also be a comfort mistresses lacked.

    Each lifestyle had its pros and cons when it came to getting something out of life, but let's face it, when it came to domestic abuse, neither received the support they needed.

  • Kindness is a neverending struggle. And without the appreciation acknowledging that struggle, it's difficult to keep it going.

    So appreciate and be appreciated. Because kindness isn't a right, it's an effort we make for and a gift we give to each other. It's something to be thankful for.

    Thank you.

    Up until near the end it was a one-man show. But all in all, it was just a shit flinging contest between a bunch of giant turds.

  • Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up

    Jump

  • There's a thing that was happening in the past. Not sure it's still happening, due to lack of news about it. It was something called "glamour modeling" I think or an extension of it.

    Basically, official/legal photography studios took pictures of child models in swimsuits and revealing clothing, at times in suggestive positions and sold them to interested parties.

    Nothing untoward directly happened to the children. They weren't physically abused. They were treated as regular fashion models. And yet, it's still csam. Why? Because of the intention behind making those pictures.

    The intention to exploit.

  • I don't know personally. The admins of the fediverse likely do, considering it's something they've had to deal with from the start. So, they can likely answer much better than I might be able to.
