I agree. I think hobbies are a good middle ground and neutral.

It would be nice if men wrote more books like that. The only men who would listen to a women tell them how to change are probably not the target audience.

On the flip side, I think men could use more men’s groups because male loneliness is problematic. Women don’t want to feel responsible for men’s loneliness (rightly so), so the natural solution is men need to do better at making friends with men. The problem is doing it in a healthy way

That said, I would suggest the solution is hobby groups without gender exclusion. Like carpentry, basketball, knitting, dance, ballet. Hobbies seem to self select.

Most of my hobbies are female dominated in my conservative area.

And we could prosecute them as foreign agents in addition to pedos. Complying with komprobant isn’t an excuse

Mastodon is awkward to use for me. Filters and following give poor control. Lemmy gives me only what I want to see.

I like bluesky feeds and wish mastodon had them. Then it would be easier to use imo

Just talk about other women you are interested in.

Something in writing like “hey, I planning a date on Friday, and I was wondering if you can you cover XYZ?”

If she retaliates, you have a message showing lack of interest

“Why does everyone hate AI?!?!”

I’m pretty fit, but winter did the same to me. The solution was a light clock that simulated the sunrise

There are deadlift deadeners that you can buy. If the guy sets up a proper floor, the noise could be reduced a lot. You could ask him to set up a proper platform with the deadeners

It would be cool if this was ActivityPub compatible so we could follow Instagram from Mastodon. As much as I hate meta, there are some artists I would like to follow still

I loved python when I was a junior dev. Now I hate it (except for things like computational math). I have to add debug statements to figure out that someone snuck in the wrong type into the code.
