Ten weird things I do that nobody else does...

[Mouthwash]

That's not exactly true either. When's the last time you heard a feminist complain about "ladies get in free" nights at bars, for instance?

I didn't say they weren't hypocrites.

(Actually, I've heard that plenty of times. The claim is that 'ladies night' is to make it easier for men to pick up women, hence still sexist in favor of men.)

 

[yung.carl.jung]

Modern-day feminism is about making sure that males and females are *exactly the same* in every respect. Any kind of gender role whatsoever, or even a hint of one (see: microaggression) is therefore sexist, and always sexist against women.

"Modern-day feminism" encompasses everything from hardcore egalitarianism to people complaining about mansplaining on tumblr. I doubt any feminist would be upset about the implications of my post, but your assertion that all "modern-day" feminists are a hivemind that share the same opinion probably would rub them the wrong way

I usually just treat a woman how I would treat a man and assume they can take care of themselves unless it is clear they can't. It's an insult, not a physical attack. It'd be fairly misogynistic of us to ride to the rescue of the damsel in distress because someone said a mean word to them.

I'm guessing it would be the insinuation that you don't think she's capable of fighting her own battles.

The hypothetical situation I was painting was what Trump would call "locker room talk", it wasn't me being a knight in shining armor saving some girl from verbal abuse. Typically women are not present in this kind of scenario.

Fair enough. That wasn't clear. It still doesn't mean they'd be happy to hear you say it though, which was the claim that was made.

Hypocrites or not I'm just disagreeing with this

Everyday feminists probably don't get much exposure to the intellectual feminists. Hence why they remain feminists.

but your assertion that all "modern-day" feminists are a hivemind that share the same opinion probably would rub them the wrong way

They aren't a hivemind, but they view their ideas as something akin to religious doctrine. Example: one group of feminists decides that Middle Eastern immigrants may cause problems for women, the mainstream says they are perpetuating racism and since both racism and sexism are rooted in the patriarchy they aren't real feminists. I don't think this is an exaggeration.

as it isn't true genereally speaking

They don't say it explicitly, but every tiny difference or gender expectation is labeled as bigotry.

Not from what I've seen.

Oh. Yeah, that wasn't made clear at all.

In my experience, calling people out just starts a fight. These days I just ignore the degenerates.

I wipe standing up. Is that weird? I just don't see how people reach all the way under there while on the pot.

Me too. I have short arms and it's more comfortable that way anyways.

But when you're sitting it's easier to spread your cheeks

I mean, it's not like when you do it while standing up that you're doing it while puckering your cheeks together as tightly as you can.

This thread is now mainly about swearing and pooping .

Seems Dutch swearing is a bit more creative than at other places.
Here you add diseases to anything, and you have a swear word (worse disease = worse swear word; cancer is worse than cholera).
Not that I really get it, but hey, cultural differences .

How long does it take for the gastrointestinal distress to subside? Any time I try to switch to a liquid or a majority-liquid diet it wreaks havoc on my system, much like food poisoning. I can never stick with it for longer than a week before I give up.

No idea how long it took unitl it went to sort of normal, but wasn't that bad. Gasses are still bad though.
But people are different. If it doesn't work for you, then it's because of your physiology or gut microbiota, or whatever, and you can probably not do anything about it .


Other things to add to my weird list:
- I'm probably the only man who always has handcream with him. My hands are dry, really hate the feeling.
- Might have the biggest keyring on this planet. 15 rings, 9 keys and 12 items of crap (hangers, bottle opener, old keys, etc).

Add me to the list of standers. No way is my hand going inside a toilet.

I've heard Yiddish is the best language for swearing and general trash-talking. Anyone here know Yiddish or a Yiddish-speaker?

 

[Traitorfish]

All Polish swear words I can think of have to do with sexual intercourse, reproductive organs, pooping, buttholes, female dogs, and related things.

The Poles I've known have regarded "Russian" as something like a swear word, too.

Wait, people wipe sitting down?

- I'm probably the only man who always has handcream with him. My hands are dry, really hate the feeling.

I don't carry it with me but I should. I have dermatitis/eczema on both my hands pretty bad. In winter I have to apply prescription morning and night, sometimes at lunch too, and keep up on regular lotion or my hands literally crack and bleed after missing one day.

I thought of another, I eat canned green beans cold right out of the can. And I prefer them this way to cooked or fresh beans.

I also love grilled romaine lettuce. Slice a romaine heart in half length wise, grill about a minute each side on highest heat so it wilts slightly and chars a bit, then either Caesar dressing or salt n pepper + olive oil. It's great.

Heh.. Not surprising but I have only really encountered slurs for Germans (i.e. Szkop, Szwab, etc. (They are not so bad so I feel I can list them here)) being used as swear words against other Poles. And that was only when I was 7 years old and we were calling each other stupid things anyway.

"Russian" as a swear word? I don't think it's that common unless Polish slang has changed and I'm behind the times. I don't ever remember anyone using "Russian" as a swear word, but I mean I do realize that is anecdotal. But I mean we for example have "Pierogi a la Russian" (Pierogi po Rosyjsku) and that just means pierogies with potato inside. So the word "Russian" itself isn't a swear word, I suppose depending on the context perhaps

Another weird thing, which considered to be Russian abroad, but not inside Russia...

Edit: Or you mean pierogi like dumplings?

 

[warpus]

"Russian" pierogi - Regular pierogi with potato and cheese inside and/or other ingredients involving potatoes.

I'd never heard of people putting potatoes inside pierogies until I came to Canada and was invited to a pot luck. Somebody brought pierogies, so I thought "nice, a taste of home!", but I bit into one and was very confused about the texture. Finished my meal in disappointed after I found out the sad truth about Canadian pierogies. Never heard of potato-filled pierogies until that day, but I asked my parents and they said it's done in Poland and we call them "Russian". (Usual Polish pierogi have pork or mushroom/cabbage). I have no idea how popular they are but I think most Poles prefer pork.

I've since adapted to "Russian"/North American pierogi and I like the ones with cheese & potato, but not nearly as much as I like the pork ones. The mushroom ones are good for festive occasions like Christmas.
