klemptor@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)103·24 days agoI am a staunch second-wave feminist. I believe in equal rights and equal respect for men and women and everyone else who doesn’t fit into that binary, and that all should be able to work toward the life that suits them best without worrying about traditional gender roles.
It makes me sad to see women who are quick to say they’re not a feminist, because they certainly benefit from feminism and I think they’d be rightly enraged if that went away. If they lost the right to vote, to have a bank account or own a home, to pursue whatever education interests them and work in that field, to choose whether/when/how to have children (RIP Roe v Wade), etc. I think a lot of women take a lot of these things for granted, but they exist because of feminism.
Sadly, I think the term ‘feminism’ has been successfully demonized in online spaces, to the point that many think it’s the same as feminazi. In part this is because the most awful and vocal part of any movement draws a lot of negative attention, and subsequently those who are against equality for women can use feminazis as a boogeyman to denigrate the feminist movement.

klemptor@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you lose alot of fat quickly with no exercise?31·2 months agoIs this a serious question?
Look if you don’t care about your health, you can crash diet, sure, but you’ll lose water weight first, and then will lose muscle alongside the fat, especially if you don’t exercise. You will also feel miserable and will make others feel miserable being around you. And you’ll most likely pack it back on when you quit the diet.

I don’t generally drink soda but when i do, birch beer is my favorite; second favorites are Dr. Pepper, cream soda, and cranberry ginger ale.
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How good are you at making eye contact with people1·2 months agoI hate it. I don’t personally want any eye contact, so I don’t know how much eye contact is the right amount, and I end up making brief eye contact because I know I should, then looking away because it’s uncomfortable and I don’t want it to be too much. And I lose my train of thought in the process. It’s so much easier to talk to people if I can look in their general direction but not in their eyes.

klemptor@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Critics Ramp Up Scrutiny Of 22-Year-Old ‘Former Lawn Boy’ Trump Put in Charge of Terrorism Prevention Unit — Amid Iran Threats8·3 months agoNobody should care if he used to be a landscaper. It’s not relevant. His age is absolutely relevant though. He’s far too young to have the wisdom and experience to handle this job properly. How is he going to know which experts to bring in and who to listen to? He’s grossly unqualified.

My arms are pretty flexible so I just use my hands & a washcloth.
klemptor@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Mike Johnson Insists It's 'Moral' to Throw People Off Medicaid14·3 months agoHoly shit, Peter David wrote some of my favorite Star Trek novelizations. In 1997, I moved to a new area just before my junior year of high school. My new school was massive and I was an introvert who wasn’t great at making friends. But somehow I ended up hanging out with a few fellow Star Trek fans, who introduced me to his new series, Star Trek: New Frontier (thank you Regina!). It got me through the rest of high school!
I’m sorry to hear what happened to him. :(
“People don’t have pensions anymore?”
No, Mom, we don’t.

klemptor@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Scientists of Lemmy, how would you standardize or improve cooking recipes?21·4 months agoYou should look for kitchen tested recipes.
French and Spanish only at my first high school (NJ), and French, Spanish, and German at my second high school (PA so the inclusion of German makes sense).
