Relationship Advice@lemmy.world•Has chivalry changed? If a man does not pay for a woman, do you think it means he isn't interested enough or simply wants to save financially until officially together?English
9·1 day agoIf you treat men as a success object don’t be surprised if he treats you like a sex object. If you are looking for someone who pays for everything that’s a wildly different (less equal) relationship.
That being said I always (I’m male) paid for the first date and continued to offer for a few more. I did look for a women who did at least offer to pay and offered to split. I think you two are being equal and you should stop stressing so much about it.
I would be cautious about talking about chivalry because it’s not a clear term. Something you might think is chivalrous another women might find totally inappropriate. So men don’t know what the term means. In my head it calls to mind King Arthur and a whole other sets of expectations and code of conduct. So unless you want me to wear your favor as I compete in the jousting tournament drop it from you vocab

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•I think if you "get rich quick" you should pay less in taxesEnglish
1·3 days agoDoing the median instead of the mean would solve that problem. The post tax wouldn’t be as large then
Hate that. I usually tell myself that I can make up for it…somehow

/c/Vent: Vent about your life here@lemmy.world•Has getting a new job always been this terrible?English
7·3 days agoThere’s two kind of job posting out there. Those that are for companies actually hiring and serious about it which are few, then there are posting where a company pretends to be hiring which are the most common. These are either companies straight up not with an opening, a perennial job opening that they use to get resumes, a job with some major deal breaker that they refuse to change or some legal reason to have a job open. They all suck and are the most annoying.
I had found that once you find a real job that actually looking to be filled it can go fast. But it’s finding one

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the purpose of being poisonous and is not being poisonous a relative weakness?English
1·3 days agoAnother thing to note is that evolution works on everything all at once. The fact that a chemical is poisonous to mammals can be coincidentally when the real purpose is for something else. Fungus have to do lots of decomposing and digesting of different compounds.
Also to note that the mushroom part is just the fruiting body for the fungus that spreads the seeds. So poison there is under a different evolutionary pressure than a poison frog who will die when eaten . If the fruiting body spreads spores then it’s done it’s job
dumples@piefed.socialtoMental Health@lemmy.world•I'm having obsessive worries over past kinks, and it's somewhat debilitating.English
4·5 days agoYou seem to have some sex shame related to what you want sexually. Nothing wrong with having hangups about that since it’s pretty common. Nothing wrong with having kinks even those that are out of the mainstream or even dark. As long as you find a place or person(s) that they can be done safely and consensually nothing wrong with that.
Some current research suggest that kinks have an inborn characteristic similar to sexual orientation. This inborn part does then attaches to some cultural symbols or stimulus.
So relax about what you like and find a way to get it healthy in you life. Sex made you and is more powerful than you. The number of people who have been brought down by ignoring this fact is innumerable. I would recommend reading and listening to Dan Savage. Hearing about other sex positive people’s life and problems can give you some perspective.
If you don’t hate yourself, how the hell can you hate someone else? Can I get an Amen

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•What winter tea are you drinking?English
2·9 days agoFor this blend I do grow them all. There’s a local food co-op that sells bulk teas but I do know some high end groceries stores sell them. I also purchase some hard to find herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs but that’s really not cost effective unless it’s a large amount. Just note that a few ounces is a huge quantity
