You don’t need a special item for every damn activity. That’s capitilasm at its finest. You don’t need to go buy a special suit to ride a fucking bike around without your asscrack hanging out. You just need to not be a fatass and wear clothes that fit you.
I smoke a lot of weed. Always have. Last year I grew 4 plants in my backyard garden and this year I’ve saved thousands of dollars on weed. It’s not as strong as store stuff but you get used to to it quickly and there’s less paranoia with homegrown I find. I’m always gonna grow my own weed from now on. Only reason I didn’t before was that it was illegal. This year I germinated 3 seeds but only one took so I’ll have one super tall pot plant in my backyard haha.
My step dad is 50 and never amounted to anything in his life so his big thing that he has is his beard. He takes pictures and grooms it and its so so so stupid and it bothers me so much because he’s overweight and has done absolutely nothing worthwhile with his whole life but here is like oh yeah my beard is looking so great noone can grow the kind of beard I can. Like alright Dennis how about you go back and finish grade ten and get a real job other than selling pills.
As long as fucking pedos don’t start trying to go into my daughters change room I’m fine. But at my local y there’s this trans dude who is basically just a 35 year old bloke that wears a dress, and he gets to go in the girls change room and change with my daughter. I don’t even get to go in there with her. I have no idea what this dude does when he’s in there with her but she’s to tell me if she ever feels uncomfortable.
Idk how you think I’m wrong for thinking that there’s something messed up about this. My daughter is 12. This man is mid thirties maybe 40. He has spent decades being a man. I think it’s totally unfair that my daughter has to change in the same room as him. It makes her uncomfortable, do her feelings not matter? She has seen his penis once already and told me about it. This has been a thing for months with us. If we know he’s there we make sure he isn’t in the changeroom when my daughter goes in. But sometimes he goes in after she’s already in there and I can’t do anything to stop it. I have never brought this to the attention of the ymca because I understand we’re a progressive society here in Canada and he has rights too. But you can’t say it’s totally insane of me to think that this whole situation is kinda strange. I’m not comfortable with my 12 year old daughter seeing a adult mans penis in a chnageroom sorry. That’s why we have gendered changerooms.
And I’m not “using my daughter” she shares the same feelings I do. And I don’t say anything to this guy or the staff I do respect his rights. But what the hell this is just not a good situation and anyone who doesn’t see that, idk what to say. But it’s weird.
I’m merely stating I don’t go in there with her. I didn’t say “I can’t go in there with her, but I want to”. I don’t want to. I want it to be a place for only woman. The rules align with my beliefs.
Thank you, our future 🌐 (sh.itjust.works)

Why are many men growing beards again ? (lemmy.ml)
Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?
