You know what, I kinda take that back.

I feel like it's more androgynous now than it was then though, because it's much more acceptable now for guys to wear make-up.

But like, idk how, 14 years ago or whatever, people saw this and were like "maybe a dude?"

To be clear I mean this as in "people were sexist back then, because it was used as a pejorative, just because her makeup wasn't conventional and she wasn't wearing revealing clothes"
And
"I think this aesthetic fuckin rocks and was way ahead of its time"

And that should probably be configurable

Poe's Law is hitting hard in these comments, but for good reason I suppose.

Humans do work that way. In the wake of disaster, and tragedy, and scarcity, we see people sharing resources and helping each other.

It's the sociopaths who seek power that don't work that way. The biggest success of capitalism is that the sociopaths have normalized their behavior and cast kindness as a flaw or disorder.

That is certainly not the impression I get from football hooligans

Generally you don't want your leader to dress up as a villain unless it's blindingly self deprecating. At least that's how I see it.

While you're theoretically right, we've seen in practice that nobody really offers even the imperfect privacy you describe, and on decentralized systems it only becomes harder to solve.

A Facebook style centralized network where you explicitly grant access to every single person who can see your content - is as close as we can get. But nobody is trying to make that kind of social network anymore, because there isn't much demand for it.

If you want a soapbox (Twitter/mastodon/bluesky, Reddit/Lemmy/kbin, Instagram/pixelfed, YouTube/toktok/peertube) then privacy is going to be a dream, especially if decentralized.

Tfw sense of smell comes back but all jumbled up so chicken nuggets and poop both smell like fryer greese, so you get mixed feelings walking by McDonald's

One is an adolescent boy, so I think we all know who gets the vote.
