You’ve already shown that you’re not willing to engage in a good faith discussion about this, why would I waste my time trying to have an interesting discussion about patriarchies, societal expectations, and biology with you.

I’m not anthropology 101 and I’m not your professor. This is very basic shit.

I’m not going to lie, I read your title as ‘Blade’ and not ‘Blade Runner’ and came to the comments to agree.

Yeah it does lol

If men were the ones to get and be pregnant for most of a year and women were able to ejaculate multiple times a day, our society would be structured differently.

At the end of the day, no one is being forced to pay.

It’s the whole women get pregnant thing that I was referencing, my dude.

I always split bills on the first date regardless of the gender of my date. If men went behind my back to pay the entire bill after I said I wanted to split, I would never see them again.

There’s plenty of women that have their own money. If you don’t want to date a woman who doesn’t want to split on dates, just don’t date her.

Society didn’t determine that so much as biology did.

Regardless, splitting the bill on a date is so completely different and not comparable to splitting shared marital assets during a divorce.

I somehow missed all news about Life by You. Yikes at some of those screenshots of development. The art style was…oof.

This genre desperately needs more competition and I’m happy Paralives has survived to see the light of day. I remember learning about it a long time ago and was very hopeful then. The dev team seems really responsive to what the fan base wants as well!

AI slop will do that

It looks like they’ve implemented a Storyteller type feature similar to Rimworld to help guide storylines. I’m def intrigued and hopeful!

No, not at all! The early release got pushed back, but it’s really going to happen this upcoming Monday.

Been in development for about 7 years now. It’s a really dedicated, if small, team.

I thought they were more common than they are apparently!

I think the pretense of bikini was left by the wayside almost immediately when these types of coffee stands came around haha

Never around that particular coworker lol

Had a middle-aged coworker that I carpooled with occasionally when I was younger. Totally chill for the most part, we left early in the morning and generally just listened to the radio quietly.

He offered to get me coffee while we were on the road one day. Pulled into a bikini barista drive-thru. The gal working asked if I was his daughter.

I didn’t carpool with him after that lol

Looks absolutely delicious!

What motivation does anyone have to lie to you about knowing someone like this?

Yes, everything that has happened to you in your life has happened exactly the same to everyone else in the entire world.

If you’re so insistent on believing that there isn’t anyone who is homophobic enough to not wipe their ass, I can’t help you.

Ignore the countless anecdotes and tales from people who have met people like this all you want.

I think you don’t understand the depths and prevalence of homophobia in our culture.

Not all parents are good at parenting either.

Get enough kids teasing each other by calling each other gay and I can easily see how a kid might get some ideas about this.

Usually it’s men who feel it’s gay to go anywhere near their own buttholes.

I’ve never been able to understand that level of homophobia and self-hatred.

I hear ya! I try to stay active enough in general throughout the year for health and vanity reasons myself. Just not interested in piling on extra self-loathing for summer alone haha
