if you know about Chinese society in general today women are not kept or seen in a much better status than thousand years ago.
how did you forget about footbinding???? is this a joke?
women aren't liberated anywhere on Earth but I am confident that the situation of Chinese women has improved from their previous two options: (1) serf or (2) broken feet
A "situationship" is an ambiguous dating relationship where one person maybe wants to get serious and the other doesn't want to talk about it. Risk factors include "short-term open to long" in tinder bio
edit: whoops I forgot about the incel conception of it, that if you're friendly to a woman she'll put you in the "unfuckable" box. Anyone who has dated a friend knows that just isn't true lol.
This is a struggle session tier controversial topic, but "friend zone" is what happens when
(a) you don't want to date someone, but are afraid to reject them completely. A lot of people soften the blow by saying "oh we can still be friends", in the lying polite way you'd say "we should hang out more!" before never following up on it. Especially prevalent among women, because men are dangerous, and especially prevalent when you don't want to rock the boat in a friend group. It's actually quite difficult to be friends with an ex or failed romantic prospect even if both people genuinely do want to be friends; you have to manage strong emotions without being able to directly change them.
(b) the rejected party either doesn't understand or refuses to accept the rejection. Classically, this leads to men trying to "win over" women who don't want them, and honestly probably don't even want to be friends now that the dude is being weird about it, while thinly pretending to just be a good platonic friend. Let me get that door for you mlady.
It's totally legit to want to date someone but not be "just friends" with them. It sucks to lose a friend that way, it's happened to me, but we're all adults here and sometimes people have enough friends already or don't want to be friends with you badly enough to deal with any additional heartache from working through those emotions.
once a strange white woman came up to me in a starbucks and put her hand on my shoulder said "im voting for kamala harris"
Lmfao. You're doing God's work, these people should be terrorized
no I want to be babied
Aldi has them and nobody cares. In fact Aldi cashiers are legendarily fast. Probably some control freak shit from the C suite.
mods can we PLEASE get a lemmy emoji
what if I am a terminally online grass-starved labor aristokkkrat. what then, mr marx? 
lol as soon as I saw the numbered list my eyes almost involuntarily flicked upward to see what instance you were from.
You may not be aware, but this comm (/c/chapotraphouse) actually has a rule against this type of comment

Bro you were literally President how can you be any more of an insider than that
I don't think you should be able to drive a motorcycle without a license (which should require taking a course and exam). They hit 140+mph and cannot brake as quickly as cars. Without knowing how to ride and to follow rules of the road, they are a life-threatening danger to other people.
Let the record show I had this idea May 31st and then didn't do anything about it. Price is up 18% since then, but most of that started in November so I would have lost money on short-term calls anyway.
6 months isn't bad. I think the play is LEAPs or literally buying stock on margin, plus whatever short you can cobble together for the rest of the industry.
