Multiple upvotes on my comment indicates I'm not the only one tired of Boomer "shit on my partner" humor.

Vanth , to Ask Lemmy in Do you think this law should pass?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

Before people get excited, search penal code 377. OP is misrepresenting it and slapping a rainbow over it.

377 is a anti-homosexuality law. Protections for men who have been raped are still needed, but are a separate issue from 377.

Here is the text of 377:

Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine. Explanation: Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.

No. Sometimes I have a computer in my dreams but it is usually useless.

"She's hot, but really ought to keep it on the DL for me to enjoy and no one else to see because think of the children".

What a weird little humble brag while also putting down your girlfriend and blaming her for broader society's behavior. If she's not lying, advocating for unhealthy habits or trends, encouraging parasocial relationships, or spreading misinformation, she's not the problem.

Vanth , to Ask Lemmy in Is it possible to simulate a sensory deprivation tank in your bathtub?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

There are a few DIY guides out there.

I don't think a bathtub is the way to go. They aren't long enough for most adults to float in. Plus they take a lot of salt, so either the bathtub is dedicated as a sensory tank or you have to drain it / refill it frequently (which gets expensive) in between using it as a normal bath.

The salty water can go down the drain though.

Vanth , to Ask Lemmy in Price of blood?

Keeps the "wrong people" from donating 🤔?

Vanth , to Ask Lemmy in Price of blood?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

Like the others I've only seen pay for blood plasma, not whole blood. Whole blood gets you a cookie, sometimes a sticker or a T-shirt, or once I got a $15 gift card but I'm pretty sure that was from the company sponsoring the charity blood drive and not the Red Cross who was collecting the blood.

And pay for plasma isn't a lot, like $30 a donation, 1-2 donations per week. You get more working a single shift at a fast food restaurant. Plasma also takes longer to donate than whole blood because you have to sit there while the plasma is separated out and the remainder pumped back into you.

So the answer is: not rich at all.

Fair use once it's posted on the web? Thank you very much for the framework to pirate anything and everything.

Vanth , to Ask Lemmy in What did you routinely fall asleep listening to as a kid and what does it for you now?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

I listened to piano music from the Suzuki method. The Suzuki thing is to treat music like a language, so immerse young kids in it when their brains are young and mushy.

Now I fall asleep to nothing most often, sometimes to a podcast or to an episode of a show I don't really care about; something old and formulaic like Columbo.

Sounds hot

Vanth , to Homebrewing - Beer, Mead, Wine, Cider in Do you check historic brewerys?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

Check out ingredients too. Like kveik yeast that ferments at 90-100 F, allowing people to brew without electrical chillers. Still to be found for use today, NB calls their strain "Lutra".

Or alternates to hops and how they tied to the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation.

Vanth , to Ask Lemmy in How far in advance do you usually plan vacations?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

Rough plans at the beginning of the year, like "1 week to go to this place in July-August timeframe" so I can plan time away from work accordingly.

6+ months out for international travel for best deals on airfare.

Day of for weekend trips sometimes. Or tacking on a day or two to the end of a work trip.

Years out for sporting events. Like the 2031 rugby world cup will be hosted by the US and I plan to go to quite a few games, plans will develop as cities are picked and pool play schedules made.

I've worked physical jobs before, thanks. I still want to stand more now with my current mostly-at-a-desk job, thus I chose a standing desk.

Exercise your own choice and get whatever desk you want.

I never want to go back to not having a standing desk. Next purchase was a mat bc my feet did bark a bit after a full day standing but my hips and back feel so much better.
