I thought this was just a joke about his age.

Okokimup@lemmy.worldOPto WomensStuff@lazysoci.al•How Would You Style This? White Linen Pants EditionEnglish6·1 day agoI would wear a tank top in blue or white. I have this really cool men’s button-down shirt with blueberries that I would wear open over that.
Although every time I wear this shirt, i get some kind of untreatable stain on it. About to have it professionally cleaned for the third time.
Anyway, I’ll add plain white sneakers, and some blue/silver jewelry.

I’m watching my brother’s girlfriend now and the hell she’s going through with her abusive ex and custody issues. Also I just really dislike being around small children.

Okokimup@lemmy.worldOPto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•If your first thought is what you're conditioned to think, maybe you can't access your "defining" thoughts when you're drunk.English1·2 days agoI’m not sure if you’re just agreeing with me, or if you misread my comment. I’ve stated that their actions should be judged regardless of whether they are impaired.
Okokimup@lemmy.worldto Mental Health@lemmy.world•Do we need to respect our abusers?English11·3 days agoThis is a great question.
In my opinion, it’s not a question of respect for the abuser (fuck em, you owe them nothing). It’s about disrespecting other people as a side effect.
For example, if you wanted to show disrespect for someone, you could call them a slur (racial, gender, whatever). But at the same time, you’d be showing disrespect for everyone else who has that characteristic.
Maybe if you know no one else from that group will overhear, you would feel like it’s worth it to stick it to the abuser. I personally wouldn’t want to risk confirming such a prejudice for any other onlookers, nor would I want to set a precedent in my own brain that such speech or behavior is acceptable.
For me, the abuser isn’t worthy of respect, but they’re also not worthy of me potentially hurting others, or altering my standard of behavior.
Okokimup@lemmy.worldOPto Casual Conversation@piefed.social•What animals can you see from your home?1·3 days agoI had one in bed with me, 20 years ago in Wisconsin. Was sleeping on the floor in my mom’s room, felt something weird on my leg at 3 am, lifted the sheet and out flew a bat. Wound up calling the nonemegency police who came and got it out in a pillow case. It’s just as well I didn’t know how easy and horrible it is to get rabies or I’d have really freaked out. Never got a good look at it though.
Okokimup@lemmy.worldOPto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•If your first thought is what you're conditioned to think, maybe you can't access your "defining" thoughts when you're drunk.English4·3 days agoThe book I’m reading (Incognito by David Eagleman) mentioned exactly that.
Robinson and Yarvitz, like many others, suspected that the alcohol had loosened Gibson’s inhibitions and revealed his true self. And the nature of their suspicion has a long history: the Greek poet Alcaeus of Mytilene coined a popular phrase En oino álétheia (In wine there is the truth), which was repeated by the Roman Pliny the Elder as In vino veritas. The Babylonian Talmud contains a passage in the same spirit: “In came wine, out went a secret.” It later advises, “In three things is a man revealed: in his wine goblet, in his purse, and in his wrath.” The Roman historian Tacitus claimed that the Germanic peoples always drank alcohol while holding councils to prevent anyone from lying.
But there are many things that people have “known” for years that turned out to be untrue as our ability to understand the physical world increased. Now we’re finding that our unconscious mind accounts for more of what we think than our conscious mind can control.

The others I bought from Goodwill. The sleeves weren’t short enough for me, so I altered them . I try to find ones that cinch in at the waist to give me the illusion of a figure. So it depends on what part of them isn’t working for you.

Okokimup@lemmy.worldOPto Casual Conversation@piefed.social•What animals can you see from your home?1·3 days agoI read it! I think it’s great that you appreciate what you see enough to write all that. There’s a market for nature essays, after all.
Okokimup@lemmy.worldOPto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•If your first thought is what you're conditioned to think, maybe you can't access your "defining" thoughts when you're drunk.English1·3 days agoMy point is about how we judge people: we should judge their actions. But many of us also judge their thoughts. Many people concluded from that incident that Gibson was inherently racist and that his apology and defense of his own thoughts were meaningless. I know there have been other incidents with him, which is why I just wanted to use that one incident as an example.
Works for peanuts.
