IRL 'witch' is a genderless term too. The media likes to make it seem like 'witch' is girls only, but I don't know any pagans IRL that actually draw that distinction. Wicca in particular calls both genders 'witches', and 'wizard' is more like an honorific you get for being a particularly wise witch.

Sure. If you enjoy broccoli on a burger, who am I to say you're enjoying it wrong?

I think it's more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.

The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.

That only works on the iLadies though.

I'm not sure what you're saying? I think that if you really want to decrease car usage, you need to focus more on interurban transit and let bikes be for last-mile.

The local metro area is very walkable, low traffic speed, and has (shitty) bike lanes. The outlying areas are two lane highways without shoulders that is much more dangerous to bike than city roads. I tried it once, got run off the road by a semi and nearly went into the blackberry bramble. I was picking gravel out of my skin for days, and haven't been on a bike since.

A huge problem I have is that America uses transit for greenwashing and we don't use it as a service. The only reason I got a car is because the bus comes by five times a day. The last bus home leaves the station at 6pm, so that seriously restricts job opportunities. The local neolibs love to argue that us rural folk are against transit, but ignore that it's popular enough that the last bus (that hurtles down bumpy 50mph highways) is packed with standing riders and feels super unsafe.

It's infuriating that the answer to "I want decent transit" is "pay 2.5x rent to live in the city".

Yeah, I'm just scratching my head because all the roads in my rural town are one lane in each direction, with heavy industrial farming traffic. There's not even shoulders, its just the road, a ditch, and a field.

I'd take better public transit over bike lanes.

So how is molding an existing app "not how it works" in your world?

Gotta say, the biggest reason I'm not on Pixedfed is because I was told that I could migrate my instagram content, but the two instances I signed up for had that option disabled. I can't seem to find an instance that tells you upfront if it's allowed or not, and I've already wasted enough time on it.

I'm sorry, I think you meant to respond to another person. I was talking about Ilovethebomb statement of "this was pictures of the artist naked, not erotic art", and wanting clarification on where that line is drawn in their mind.

Nobody here is arguing that the artist shouldn’t be able to make money selling that content as art.

I was 13 when mom graduated with a degree in fine art, so maybe I've just seen it more, but there are tons of people who think nude = porn and porn =/= art. I'm not saying you think like this, because I've never talked to you before, but the sentiment is super common in western culture at large.

Right???

Nah, I was just grousing about it yesterday on a cooking discord where somebody was trying to gatekeep the protein used in tacos. Using chicken in your taco isn't "incorrect" and they can fight me.

historically a lot of those jobs were populated primarily by high school students

TIL McDonalds didn't used to be open during the day because the majority of its workforce was in school.
