My old job legitimately did this in C++ with a Perl script because we had to be able to build on some weird, old systems and couldn’t use C++ templates.

Earthmelon is a potato

Sounds kind of like dragon’s beard candy.

And invalidating a woman’s feminism because she wears a hijab is a tool of the patriarchy. That is the point.

Finally, realistic tentacles for gaming!

Easier to say than sthing

Octopodes nuts

Disagreeing with a misogynist isn’t misandry.

Pretty advanced misogyny to personify octopuses and then blame the “women” octopuses for rejecting sexual advances.

You don’t speak for us

I’m gonna say it’s crop milk

What’s the fourth milk?

It’s missing a stwp after vow of silence where I ghost my friends for a month.

Besides “skater dress”, there might not be a good unified term. The skirts are A-line. A band that hits right below the bust can be called an empire waist.

Generally, I find that trying ro search a particular term for a style often falls short. Filtering by desired features (mini/midi/maxi or pencil/a-line/pleated, for example) can help. Dresses come in so many shapes.

She looks completely different with her hair down and, ya know, like there even being a down. I really enjoyed watching her hair float around her head.

I don’t really remember my wedding vows, but I’m 100% certain there was nothing in them about not killing children so… loophole?

I definitely agree, that’s why supporting a woman’s right to choose is important. There may be good advice here about not putting your self-worth on other people (lovers or children), but it’s hidden in all the talk of ancestors and bloodlines. Probably trying to score points with the witchymemes comm.

Maybe I’m reading into it too much, but the post is speaking to someone who is unable to get married and have children, and it seems like the conclusion is basically cheer up, you’re actually going to love being childless and alone. Maybe someone needs to hear that that’s a valid choice, but it feels like it’s too eager to dismiss the reader’s desires.

Can we agree at least that “end your bloodline” is a tasteless, unnecessary flourish?

I disagree. It’s arguing that women in the past had no choice, and women STILL don’t have a choice, but they should be happy with their lack of agency because it’s a different non-choice. THEN it swings into congratulating the reader for accepting their loveless fate. “End your bloodline” is pure antinatalism.

God, rhe more I read this fucking thing, the more insidious it feels.

Kind of a lousy point, I think, discouraging women from setting personal goals and priorities for themselves because at least they’re not being abused. Maybe the point here is that the patriarchy sucks, but it sounds like a false dichotomy of supporting and engaging with the patriarchy versus bitter loneliness. To me, it invalidates women who desire healthy relationships.
