It all comes down to personal higiene.

I’ve been married a couple of times and typically I would always smell when someone was on their period. I regularly smell it at work as well.

My current wife? Not a single smell, ever. No idea what she would smell like of it’s a bad smell.m, she always smells awesome like herself.

Then again, she’s latina and as such really good at that sort of thing.

Just was yourself regularly, not too much, use mild soaps, and figure out what works for your body. Soaps (and even perfumes) work differently on different bodies, so even a perfume may work well on someone but not on you. You gotta trial and error a bit there. Don’t use too much perfumes either.

My wife rarely uses perfumes, she doesn’t need it

Awesome news!

Can we please have more of these initiatives?

I remember that in the Netherlands they stopped mowing grass on various places and just let it grow for the insects

Oooohh boy.

So let me start by saying: I fucking hate bill gates with a vengance. And if you do so too, good for you. I’ve been hating him for at least a good 30+ years, hating bill gates is not a new thing.

Having said that:

I’m not much into conspiracy theories, it doesn’t matter where they come from or who they’re directed at.

Take this jewel, for example:

advocating for the systematic poisoning of watersheds with pesticides under false arguments

Now I’m assuming you’re referencing apeel here?

• https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/05/02/apeel-bill-gates/
• https://english.factcrescendo.com/2025/02/21/fact-check-is-apeel-coating-dangerous-and-toxic/

I mean, I’m sure apeel may or might have issues but you sell it like gates is a mustache twirling evil genius who is bent on poisoning the world. I’m sure its slightly more nuanced than that, and I’m sure you are very nuanced too.

I just read about a Melinda gates interview this morning where she talked about “Bill’s visits to epstein island had been a very painful moment in their marriage” which would insinuate he diddled kids and she knew. True? I don’t know I still need to find more info and put it on the list, because I have a long list of “things I’ve heard” that I need to verify. I just verified yours as “misleading”

My point is: If you want to shit on gates, go ahead, he is a horrible person, he deserves to burn in hell, but lets not make shit up about him, its not helpful not necesarry.

Big fat no on the tipping. Tipping should be outlawed altogether, start paying your employees a decent wage instead!

Also do comment on people’s food choices as long as it is positive. “That looks awesome, I would LOVE some >insert nice food here< for myself next time!” I would maybe change that one to just “Don’t criticize people for their decisions that do not affect you” or something like that

No virtue signalling intended but I’m happy to say that I do all the rest of these things, are those things not normal to do anyway?

I will never understand why the vast majority of those mostly awesome effects were dumped and never added to KDE.

I LOVE the 3D desktop cube and actually used it as a tool and as a bling to show off. After some 5 years without, KDE finally brought the cube back but now only under some weird ass key combo and only as useless bling.

KDE, bring back the eye candy and make it useful eye candy, please!

Nah, don’t worry, I’m sure that Republicans soon will come out and say that worms are actually Great!

Yeah, no.

Some of what you’re saying has some evidence, and could be true, and some of what you’re saying is just balls to the wall conspiracy theories

So in other words, yes, they are that dumb

Are you going to tell me that investors are bumb enough not to see that nobody will ever even see a % of a % of a % of a % of a % of that number?

$13.000.000.000.000

Like, are we 12 now? I too would come up with these bazonker numbers at that age.

Fuck Spotify,fuck the current legal system that got us here

True but… None were THAT bad. The US has done some heinous shit but usually it’s outside of their borders. Inside their borsers, still heinous shit but not as bad as Tiananmen square

Edit: in “recent history” of course, say, within the last 50 years. Go back further than that and you’ll find much greater atrocities, especially against the natives, but do the same in China and it’ll still resign supreme in their atrocities against civilians

Though I mostly agree with the article, how could I not, please do understand that futurism.com is full of badly researched clickbaity articles just to draw traffic, and it should NOT be trusted as a sole source of information.

Any better source available on this?

What’s it with the Wayland hate?

X did a great job for decades but it’s old, it never was designed for modern day requirements, let it retire gracefully instead of dumping on it’s replacement, maybe?

I understand there are some apps that still require X, those at some point will be / should be / have to be updated, but I don’t see that as a reason not to want to move forward to something better

Reverse proxy still goes over a port

So a % of a % of a % of their profits

That will most surely teach these criminals.

CAN. WE. PLEASE. START. JAILING. CRIMINALS. THAT. BREAK. THE. LAW.

That very thing you said at the end is usually already too much thinking for car brains

Slightly off topic but not:

I just was on Facebook today (just for family birthdays and such) and literally every post I could see was AI slop

First video was about a guy in a jeep in Africa with a dog in it and he was changing a tire and a lion was approaching. Didn’t see the video, why, it’s slop, I just saw the promo picture. That, and the dozen hashtags and exclamation title and description that promises a dog lion fight!

And all I could think was "why the fuck, who the fuck, why would anyone watch this? It’s not real to begin with but almost ALL these videos are about the weirdest animal fights. WHY? I hate violence, I hate even more watching animals suffer, why is Facebook flooding everything with AI animal fight slop? Why, and who the fuck watches that shit? It’s all fake, just dancing pixels, why, what is the point?

Sorry, just ranting, it really ticked me off

sun… LED…

Yeah your friend is an absolute idiot and should ask for his money back from his elementary school

The sun has been around for billions of years and pretty much hasn’t changed color since. Thinking you can “replace” the sun’s “LED” makes me wonder if he is experiencing mental illness, honestly

IIRC (and heavily paraphrasing here as this isn’t my specialty to say the least) most languages end up having about the same information density because most humans process language at the same speed. Some languages are spoken faster, but have less density in information, where others are slower but have higher information density. In The end it evens out, more or less

From that, without looking at other facts, I’d guess that babies learn it pretty much at the same speed, no?

One is beautiful, been there, seen it, it’s amazing

The other is a horrendous post apocalyptic wasteland. Never been there, never will.
