    I mean, the most manly and masculine thing you can do is exclusively have sex with big, masculine, manly men, right? Having sex with a woman is so emasculating, because you’re enjoying someone’s femininity, and that’s the worst possible thing for a man, so I’ve been told. Therefore, it’s super gay to have sex with women. Be a real man and exclusively have sex with your manly bros.

      “ The Wyoming Republican Party circulated an email that included an argument from lobbyists that since minors could get pregnant “marriage MUST remain open to them for the sake of those children.”

          You should see some of my professional work emails where after proof reading multiples i still end up sending sentences with 20% of the words missing.

          You can catch me doing that on lemmy too. And i swear that when i re-read myself i see full sentences with nothing missing.

          The thing is, have a cognitive communicate deficit, simply thinking about language feels alien and i have to put alot of effort in translating my actual thoughts into characters yall can understand. My inner monologue is a mix mathematics and images, no words.

          I had 2 choice

          1. Avoid communicating out of anxiety and stess that people will think less of me because my words (i used to be there)

          2. stop caring and assume that most are smart enough to figure it out and respectful enough not to make it into an issue. (Where i am now)

          Those that aren’t smart enough are unlikely to understand some of the importance nuances i do put in language. (Because half the things i need a word for don’t have a known word so its all approximate translations) and those that cant stay respectfull are a bigger problem for society than o’l me.

              Doesn’t work if you need to use more then one language and doesnt account for grammar or missing words. The language i use most often is also a local variation that is rarely supported.

              If you do know a way to get one that can detect and adapt across multiple Language i am all ears. Because as much as i try not to care i do wish things where different.

              Ai spellcheck does look promising though seems much more capable and dynamic, looking forward to see that progress.

            You will be required to do an engine swap at 36. You will take out the sensible 4 cylinder engine and attempt to cram a straight 6 under the hood. The car will sit in pieces in your garage for years before you eventually sell it for parts when your spouse buys a storage system for their garden tools that will need to go in that space.

            The American rotary was/is the RX8. RX7 was banned in the US because it had a left hand drive and emissions regulations. But you might still be able to find one or two floating around

            The rotary is kinda cool but there’s not many mechanics that can work on them. So the Miata is probably the smarter choice.

              Hmm? No, there were RX7s in the US. Emissions are tough for rotories, but they made it kinda work for a while.

              I had an RX8. Loved it, but rotories give up their apex seals eventually. Have a Miata now.

        “Middle age” has never been about being exactly 50% of the way through the average life span. It’s much less about “how much time you have left” and more about the point where you can’t realistically think of yourself as young anymore. The effects of age become impossible to ignore, compounding, and increasingly obvious.

        It’s basically just your 40s-60s. Not the exact midpoint.

            Think of it as being a middle aged woman/man - timer starts when you’re considered a woman/man, so I probably at 18. Then, being “middle aged” actually falls in the 40s-50s.

      I think we reached that point a while ago.

      The insanity of these statements has escalated pretty rapidly and honestly, none of it surprises me anymore. Everything you do is now gay.

      I’m ok with it. If you want to think I’m gay because (insert literally anything here), then fine, I guess I’m gay. I’ll go have gay sex with my very female (with female anatomy and two x chromosomes) wife, and live my happily gay life in peace, thanks.

      Being gay, or being called gay, isn’t an insult to me. Only juveniles would find it insulting. You know why? Because juveniles think that being different is bad. I grew up and realized that everyone is different and it’s because of that difference that we, as a species, can survive. Our differences make us strong. So bluntly, call me weird, call me a freak, call me whatever the hell you want, because all you’re saying is that I’m different, and different makes us stronger. I’m proud to be different than my neighbors and coworkers. I think differently than they do. I approach problems differently, I find solutions differently. That’s a good thing.

      I’m not always right, and I’m not always the most efficient, and that is because of the differences between me and others. I celebrate that difference and you should too.

      Idk if you ever saw or remember The Sopranos. It started late 90s and one of the storylines was about one of the older guys liked going down on the woman he was seeing. Well word got out to the other guys that were part of the family and said it was gay to go down on a woman.

      Me and my wife just busted out laughing. Like people really think this? The answer is yes. People think this and are idiots. Pleasing a woman in bed is gay apparently. The older guy ended up breaking up with the woman he liked because he was getting clowned on by the other members of the family.

        The problem is the network effect.

        As other people with these views hear that kind of rhetoric more and more, they come to find it acceptable. Thus pushing even more people to find it acceptable.

        This kind of rhetoric should definitely be legal, but it should not be given a platform.

            I’m not rich and I go to the doctor for any healthcare needs that I have, in America. If you are neglecting your health because of fear of doctor bills, you should not do that. The healthcare system is overpriced but it’s not so overpriced that you should neglect your health.

            If you have normal health insurance it should be affordable, and it always has been for everyone I’ve known. Even my family members who’ve had extensive surgeries that were life or death matters got their medical care, and the bills did not bankrupt anyone.

                I guess all the hospitals must be going broke then, since “most Americans” “literally cannot afford medical care at all” right? That would leave them with very few customers to pay medical bills if most Americans can’t afford medical care at all.

            I thought infant mortality was not counted in average lifespan calculations. I looked it up and I was wrong. Just in case anyone else was misinformed like me.

      Honestly, I don’t like it either. But it does make sense. Some health risk factors change drastically between 30 and 40 (e.g. heart disease, colon cancer), suggesting a kind of dividing line between “my body just does what it’s supposed to” and “what, I have to do extra stuff to survive now?!” A lot of people also change rapidly in physical appearance during this time too, exhibiting profound male pattern baldness, love handles, belly fat, winkles, etc.

      30s have always been middle aged lol. It’s not even the start of middle aged.

      0-25. 26-50. 51-75.

      Most Americans be dying at 75.
