Something to keep in mind with studies are outside social factors such as less women playing chess and less women being exposed to chess at a young age. There are fewer women in chess and fewer girls learning chess, for probably centuries. This will have a factor when comparing two demographics.

Funny, I was just listening to the album this morning and was chuckling at the lyrics to one of the songs, which explicitly state no homo bro.

Yeah honestly as a gay woman myself I thought there wasn’t enough LGBT representation. Apparently there are two barbies who kiss on a couch at one point but it was so quick I didn’t see it, my friend had to tell me about it. There really wasn’t a lot of any sort of sexuality in the movie. Which makes sense, they don’t have genitalia.

Hey speak for yourself, I was forced into French immersion school by my parents with promises of good government jobs. Now I can understand French but Quebecois is a whole different beast 😂

When you misclick placing stairs in the sims 4

This is how my mom texts, and it’s always a fun game trying to figure out what she’s trying to say

Once again, they are not skinned alive to make a sweater so not exactly what my ex pictured happened for yarn products.

The Princess Bride, and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Both have so many great lines they still crack me up every time!

I mean they are certainly shorn more than once before that happens, so I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a blood sacrifice.

My ex thought the only way to get llama wool was to kill the llama. For some reason, this logic only applied to llamas, she understood sheep wool didn’t require the same sort of blood sacrifice.

That’s interesting, I know the one I have now can go between the two and is just defaulted to F, but growing up the one in my childhood home only showed F. I never really understood the numbers in relation to the temp either, I just would notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I was 😂

So here (and maybe it’s just my family?) I’ve always seen the home thermostat set in F, while the weather outside is strictly C. So like my house is set at 70f but if I were talking about outside I’d use C. Which is funny because the thermostat in F also means nothing to me, I just notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I am in the winter 😂😅

Ontario checking in, 100% accurate. Actually I would add home temperature (like the thermostat) under F, but body temperature (like checking if you have a fever) under C. Also we’re so used Americans using miles for distance/speed we’ll sometimes use it in idioms ("They ran out of here at 100 miles per hour!”). I never realized this change between measuring systems wasn’t the norm until I started chatting with Europeans.

Can confirm, Hamiltonian here who witnessed the influx of Torontonians fleeing the big city and taking up our suburbs.

You’re right, I think of all his paintings of farm workers, its most similar to The Red Vineyard in Arles but like you said there are quite a few.

Farm workers and peasant life became a fairly popular topic for artists mid 19th to early 20th century, as popular culture moved away from the idealistic art of flowery Rococo portraits to realism, and then to impressionism (with other isms in between of course).

It reminds me of Salad Fingers. Or Courage the Cowardly Dog.

With kids!

Yeah I’ve had YouTube premium for a long time, and I don’t mind paying for it, but the fact half the people I follow are getting copyright claimed (unfairly) or taken down is really a huge bummer. It’s been hitting the true crime & film review communities particularly hard. I’m hoping more of my fave creators start using Odyssee or rumble because I don’t really like supporting a platform who treats their creators like shit.

I let my hormones think for me 💀

It’s even worse with The Sims. I remember when I was in highschool, and an avid sims 2/3 player, I found this mod that would remove the pixels from the sims when they’re naked. Of course the sims by default had no genitals, and being a hormonal teenager I also downloaded a mod that would fix that issue.

Because of how modded content for the sims is, a lot of the times the download sites are just link aggregators, so to download a mod you’d be sent to a different site that actually hosted the file. Downloading the naked mod led me down a rabbit hole to a site called sexysims3.com (or something like that) that had just… Every type of sex/porn mods you could think of.

From giant dongs to incest, it was all there.

I was pretty horrified and noped out of there pretty quick, and cleared the browser history because it was a shared family computer.
