And most other drugs aren’t nearly as destructive for you as alcohol.

The best thing I ever did was quit drinking.

The drugs work so much better!

That’s a fair point. I should’ve kept my comment at miscarriages and not included stillbirths. I, too, have had miscarriages so I understand how it can fuck you up.

I still doubt that’s what the OP meant though.

Some women from the 1800s would have described having a miscarriage as a blessing, not a baby.

Yeah like divorce :)

I’ve never met anyone who had a miscarriage and still described the experience as having a baby in this way.

Kids as young as 4 years old would be put to work, so it’s not that far off really.

Modern day vibrators are a silver lining to this time period lol

It’s one thing to be racist individually - it’s another to be used as a megaphone for said racism. His actions have made this world worse unfortunately.

Ah I had seen another comment referencing “beans” on these recent horny posts, so maybe I erroneously picked up on something that isn’t actually happening in the case of referring to women as “beans” reducing them down to their sexual parts.

Calling women ‘beans’ really gives me the ick lol

I’ve never seen that before Lemmy

All two of them?

Welcome! It definitely is quieter in ways here, but I find that actually engaging in conversation is better. There’s more real people here.

But this place also has the downfalls that early Reddit and 4chan had. Still better than current Reddit by miles!

Reforming our education system is certainly one prong of a multi-pronged approach to a potential solution.

I just simply cannot sign on for more torture and rape and dehumanization no matter who is on the receiving end.

You’re so smart, you tell me what argument I’m making.

What argument am I making?

Buying what?

Not with that defeatist attitude ;)

I thought we were having a casual conversation about this character of a user that has popped up on Lemmy again today and what it means to build a very personality-forward post history. I didn’t know we were doing a nuh-uh, yuh-uh thing.

You then came in hot and accused me of boomer behavior so yeah.
