ValiantDust , to Showerthoughts in Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society

a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred

The fact that most of the times the stigma only clings to the person selling and not the person buying makes me think that this is actually a negligible part of the stigma.

To be fair though, there are way more cows than crocodiles, snakes, sharks or deadly spiders in the UK.

Adding to what the other comments have already said: Don't bring an unleashed dog on a cow pasture. You'd think that's common sense, but apparently it's a bit of a meme in Austria and Switzerland that every few months some German get's trampled by cows because their totally friendly dog ran towards the cows and they felt threatened.

ValiantDust , to Ask Lemmy in What do you think about my idea to help renters buy their home?

What happens to people who rent out an apartment in the house they are living in? This is not uncommon, where I live. Grandma lives in a small separate apartment in the house, she dies, the apartment is rented out. Sometimes a child moves in later or the parents move in and a child takes over the house.
If these people risk losing a part of the house by letting someone else rent it, my guess is that they would just stop renting it in order to be able to leave the whole house to their children. Which would leave even less homes on the renting market and a bigger share to big corporations.

ValiantDust , to Ask Lemmy in what's the latest image in your download folder?

I mean, the fact that most animals don't understand long distance running is what made humans apex predators. So joke's on you, animals!

ValiantDust , to Ask Lemmy in What do you do to cheer yourself up ?

Self-care always makes me feel better. I prepare something nice to drink–tea, wine, beer, depending on my mood—and a tasty snack, then put on one of my favourite audiobooks or TV shows and treat myself to a hot bath or foot bath with a relaxing bath essence.

ValiantDust , to Programmer Humor in Unused variables

But are you gonna return something for this method??? You said you'd return an integer, yet there is no return statement!

ValiantDust , to Ask Lemmy in What gets you downvoted?

Anything slightly "feminist". You know, like pointing out that women do the majority of unpaid care work. Or saying it's not nice to objectify women. Or sometimes mentioning the word women will do it.

ValiantDust , to No Stupid Questions in What's the best type of food to eat in a shower?

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the famous shower orange yet. On Reddit there is a whole subreddit dedicated to it.

A cold orange in the shower is perfect – it's refreshing, it smells great and you don't have to deal with the usual mess of eating an orange.
