          I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram, posting their best moments online. Ofc similar for some good-looking men as well. That’s why I assume most people here are either men or lgbtq+.

              I’m almost guaranteeing that the person you are replying to is making a joke, because of how ludicrous it sounds. “I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram” implies that the commenter has literally never met a woman in their entire life and only knows about them via a website that they’ve never even been to themselves, as the information about them being on instagram is itself second hand. Like, it literally makes women sound like cryptids.

        I’m a woman. My most frequently practiced hobbies are watching my fiancé cook, playing with my cat, dicking around on the internet, and playing word games. Because hobbies are to relax and I’m working and getting a Masters. When I had more time, I also danced a bunch and played Pokémon go.

        The things the women in your life are doing, are providing services for the people around them, through food, knitted goods, and photo albums. Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one.

        Six years ago, my terrible ex would have said that I loved reading organizational blogs and baking, but that’s because he was a slob whose family had weekly parties that I was expected to bake for. Maybe all the women in your life are stepford bots, but maybe you should try learning to knit or cook with some of them, and see if they branch out or just need some help.

Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids, building and maintaining relationships with people in the real world, cooking amazing food just because they want it, getting involved in the community, working some extra side jobs, and generally doing stuff to make their world and the world around them better.

We’ve had similar problems in the past with games like Warcraft 3, but the amazing coop system in the Borderlands franchise has allowed us to log hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing together - hoping that BG3 works similarly well enough.

                  The co-op is pretty good, though there are a few tiny frustrations - I can’t automatically use an npc party member’s skills in conversations (like guidance or bardic inspiration) if they’re under my husband’s control instead of mine, for instance. Our problem is that we both want to finish the storyline for ourselves before making storyline decisions in our co-op campaign and I have an entire day off that he doesn’t thanks to working 4 10s instead of 5 8s. So I have to wait for him to push ahead in his campaign before we can play ours, but I can just play mine at my leisure, lol.

                The fact you think motivation, caring for you family, and having social media are mutually exclusive says a lot about you. If you think women on Reddit, lemmy, whatever social media are unmotivated because they don’t knit hats and care for children or whatever you define as womanhood you might need to reflect on what you think womanhood is outside of your personal experiences with the women in your social bubble.

                Women might use Reddit or lemmy or a number of social media sites to find a social group to connect with that they don’t have in their immediate area, just like men do. They are normal people who don’t have to adhere to whatever gender ideologies society wants to ascribe to them. Also spending time on sites like this can just be an hour in the morning or evening not an entire life so you might never see them do it.

                Doesn’t change that there’s still fun discussion sometimes on the site, although it’s hardly worth it when it’s so full of misogyny and alt-right propaganda. I admire the people that manage to stay sane in there.

            Most people think it’s just kind of a free speech hellhole, but it’s not, that’s just the coat of paint the site took on/has always slightly had. Remnants of an idealized 1990’s internet space where people thought everything would be free to use and free to access, and the storage would be infinite, ironically concocted by out-of-touch yuppies who didn’t work on the pipes. In reality, free speech bullshit is always just a cover for admins to be able to enforce whatever totally inconsistent rules that they want without any form of repercussion, because obviously there are limits, even just legally, in terms of keeping the site up, and keeping it free from commercial spam, and having advertisers stay on. Most rules you can concoct have some sort of exception, or lack of clarity, or are too restrictive, so it really just falls down to some arbitrary decision as to what stays around and what doesn’t.

            With sites like 4chan, it isn’t so much that “free speech” just inevitably leads to this tragedy of the commons where everyone becomes or is taken over by racists and incels, it’s more that active decisions are made to turn these sites into shitholes by malignant actors, because sites like 4chan are the easiest targets, and have a kind of natural selection bias towards the type of people they want to recruit. They take advantage of this fact that “free speech” is obfuscating the actual moderation and enforcement of the site, and then use it to promote whatever ideologies they want, like a little internet meme terrarium, or maybe more of a virus cell culture. Then, this attracts other malignant actors, some of whom are even funded by different states, who work within the bounds of the site to advance it one step further, until you have a kind of horrible coalition of different ideas all stewing together.

            Thus, most of the people who run the site nowadays are white supremacist dicks, funded by a hands-off japanese internet techbro libtertarian, and toy company “Good Smile”.

            Which is all kind of tragic, because, like that one guy said, it’s responsible for a novel mathematical proof, the revival of a british indie rock band, the beginnings of anonymous, probably some other cool stuff I can’t remember. Lots of early classic internet memes, of course. It’s not all bad, really, it’s just the lowest hanging fruit of web forum. Sometimes that’s shitty, but then sometimes you get draw*** threads, where artists will go in and take low-pressure requests or concoct some sort of forum-game. Idealized, it’s sort of like pub bathroom graffiti, or something. Which isn’t really nefarious, is never serious, is sometimes charming, and very very occasionally is beautiful, useful, or novel.

          I think he heard some philosophy stuff out of context or over simplified, and was knee deep in inferences when he tweeted that. Something like:

          • The only thing we know with certainty that we exist.

          • So we don’t know if anything, including what we perceive, is real.

          • If our perception could be fake, we can’t even know that our sensory organs, like eyes, are real.

          • However, in my perceived life, I can look at myself in a mirror, and see my own body and my own eyes.

          • If my perception isn’t real, and my eyes aren’t real, how can I see them in that mirror?

          • If our eyes aren’t real, we wouldn’t be able to see them in a mirror for… some reason.

          • But my name is Jaden Smith, and I can’t understand that a fake reality could trick me into thinking I see my own eyes, so I think being able to see my eyes in a mirror means my eyes must be real, the mirror must be real, and the physical world exists with certainty. I disproved solipsism guys!

          In all seriousness, I don’t think he believed his eyes weren’t real, he was asking a rhetorical question that he thought proved something deep. However, because he was a dumb teenager, he thought he could figure out something no one in history ever considered, and was thus making some grand contribution to society.

        It’s different in some ways. Most of my friends are gay and they have specific apps for specific things. It seems very straightforward to find people to hook up with, but that’s different than dating and looking for a relationship. Just like most people, many have various issues most likely stemming from society being lame about sexuality and such. They’ll find someone who seems entirely put together and then get slammed with issues relating to abandonment, insecurities about their masculinity, or crazy jealousy… So pretty much normal stuff.

        It depends on the country you live in, really. I understand where you’re coming from with this idea.

          I lived with gay roommates (three gay men, two were a couple one was single), and the single one took AGES to get ready. I’m talking he’d shower at 730, we’d ask what he was doing and he’d say he had a date then leave the house at fucking 930.

          He didn’t wear make up or anything I have legitimately no fucking clue what he could’ve been doing for so long. The couple on the other hand, one took longer than the other but honestly they were both pretty fast get ready-ers.

        Fuck that stereotype. I’m in a lesbian relationship and getting ready for either of us is putting on pants and possibly a jacket.

        I was in a gay relationship once and at like 9:00 at night my boyfriend turns to me and goes: “Do you want wings?!?”

        I’m a bit shocked by the random question but go: “Hell yeah!” We jumped into the car, went to the wings place which closes at 9:30 mind you, got there at around 9:16, including driving. Like 9:27-9:45-ish, we’re back and have a huge plate of wings and sides, just eating like animals

        So uh, it varies, but the possibility is definitely there for two men to have a tactical romantic excursion in record time XD

              To me it doesn’t matter. Having worked in kitchens, we’re usually trying to get a head start on cleaning 15 minutes to close. I just think it’s rude to order that close to closing time.

                I’m not american but aren’t wings usually precooked? Or is it not like that?

                If you turn up to a chippy or fried chicken place just before closing time in the UK they sometimes give you extra food they would otherwise have to bin at the end of the night. I get why it’s annoying if you’d have to cook something fresh though.

        Right, two alt accounts for the benefit of the (check notes) 2 upvotes the one account receives?

          Some people are so desperate for affirmation that this is entirely feasible.

            Not sure if this is Nothing Ever Happens (because for some reason that conversation couldn’t happen naturally) or That Happened (someone made 2 accounts for such a nothing conversation)…

    Back in the day we had a rules of the internet and they were clear: there are no women on the internet. So you are not fooling me
