where I live, kids still usually take on their father’s name (sometimes the names are combined), but the mother almost never takes on her husband’s name. so yes, usually the mother will be an outlier in her family, last name wise.

i don’t think mothers were i live are less connected to their family because of it, tho

(altho, personally, i still don’t like the fact that it’s expected for kids to take on their father’s name, it feels like a relic of a shitty system better left in the past)

ill never understand how “married women are expected to change their name to their husband’s” is still a thing in the 21st century

that doesn’t work because you don’t get the psychological aspect of slavery nearly as much

of knowing you will be a slave for the rest of your life, and so will your children, and so will their children; unless you escaped, that’s how american slavery worked

i mean, if it sucks at this, why put it in lol

(rhetorical question, it’s to please investors, i know)

for real, on windows getting an update meant “ugh what thing do i need to disable now”

now on Linux, it’s “whoa, that’s a cool feature!” and “OMG THEY FINALLY FIXED THAT FINALLY”

the most negative thing is when they change something and you gotta get used to the new way. im not the biggest fan of the recent changes to Dolphin (the file manager, not the emulator), but it’s fine and I’ll get used to it. it’s not worse now, just different

as Israel doesn’t have Xi to lean on for support

yea, israel only has the unconditional support of the worlds largest and most influent economy, ruled by a guy who would die before sanctioning genocide…

not sure i see your point

IOF soldiers have taken a ton of pleasure murdering Palestinians, for example

i don’t believe one second that their opposition to this comes from morals

No one hates women more than other women.

Im not saying women can’t be misogynistic. many are.

you’re saying women are the main perpetrators of misogyny. a lie made to blame us for our own oppression.

ah yes, misogyny is women’s fault. a classic.

go fuck yourself

yea, disarming Hamas is just gonna take away what little armed resistance Palestinians had

in other words, canada is using an overdue noble gesture (Palestinian recognition) as a way to help israel further its genocide. it’s sickening

settlers of a feather flocking together

can you mark this nsfw at least? I don’t want to see vile racism like this un-CWed in my feed

in case you (the reader) weren’t aware, the amount of Palestinians shot dead by the IDF while waiting for food has surpassed the amount of israelis who died on October 7th

think about this the next time someone’s like “but what about Hamas!!!”

why the fuck?

HEY! watch your language. it’s wh* the fuck

tbh, the real reason to use paper straws instead of plastic is that they’re much more biodegradable, not so much the CO2 use. we should use way less plastic in general, imo

and it bears mentioning that the CO2 released by private jets still pales in comparison to what the airline industry produces; the average global northerner’s overseas holiday is still very destructive for the environment (tho obviously not as much as a rich fuck using a private jet)

according to this wiki article, over its lifetime a plastic straw will release 1,46 grams of CO2, while a paper straw will release 1,38 grams of CO2. that’s a saving of 0,08 grams.

and according to this article, a private jet releases 4,9 kilograms of CO2 per mile.

so: assuming you are using one straw per day, a year of using paper straws instead of plastic straws offsets about 0,006 miles of one private jet, or a bit more than 10 meters.

that’s fun.
