    I’m a woman and I’ve been going to the sauna since I was pretty young. So I had my fair share of encounters with creepy old dudes commmenting on my body. Never and I mean NEVER have I experienced it that a comment on my body, any comment, and if it’s just about my hair, did not end with a hand on some private part of my body. I get a comment on my body, 100% of the time it’s a sleezy older guy trying to fuck.

    Someone saying “you are beautiful especially naked” would 100% translate to me as “I’ve been ogling you for some time and probably jerked off to you and want to fuck you.” If you found her tattoos cool, you could say “cool tattoos”. But you told her just hooow much you LOVE looking at her naked body and there’s no way that isn’t sexual. From the way you describe her in your text here I also don’t believe you that you didn’t have other intentions.

    Several people even told you it was inappropriate. There was also no need whatsoever to start a discussion with Y. It was his sauna and obviously he wanted X to enjoy it without being oggled by you.

    None of this would have been even half as much of a problem if you could just a) not comment on other people’s naked bodies and b) just accept that you made someone uncomfortable and not approach them again. If it’s a stranger you aren’t going to see again there’s just no reason to talk to them again.





  • A mummie movie from the perspective of the mummy, who is a highly educated scholar. The archelogists and military chase him and think he’s a monster, while he has to figure out how the modern age works and why he was resurrected. Also he has severe PTSD and flashbacks from being killed in an intrigue at the Pharao’s palace.

    Edit: So I’ve been thinking about it and I think he should eventually figure out that the people who killed him wanted to test the ressurection spell and if it worked, thought they could make an invincible mummie army and control all of ancient egypt. They thought the ressurection would be instantaneous after being mummified, not ~4000 years later.







  • And tomorrow they’ll post a picture of a 10,000$ gaming setup with LEDs and shit and claim that women can’t possibly understand spending a ton of money on furniture and decorations.

    Not to mention that this joke has been done to death. For years pictures of empty rooms with a matress have been posted to claim that “this is what men want”. (Until next week, when we’ll post a picture of a gaming room full of expensive furniture and elaborate decorations and claim that THIS is what men want, actually, for real, I swear.)



  • There’s a street in my city with many major shops. Big clothing chains and such. A couple of years ago it was suggested to make it a pedestrian zone and the ones crying the loudest were the shop owners. Noone will buy anything if they can’t stop their car directly in front of the shop! And all the old people with multiple hip surgeries, who CAN’T come if the taxi can’t let them out right in front of the shop and who are the main customer base!!!

    Well, anyway, it’s been a pedestrian zone for two years now and I’ve never seen so many people in the shops before. You can’t find a place to sit in the restaurants and cafés now on saturdays when before they were half full at best. Funnily enough after all the headlines and screaming on facebook about how the pedestrian zone will KILL all business, it’s become pretty quiet. You won’t read news headlines about the success of the pedestrian zone.

    I also feel like our generation doesn’t really have such a strict ruleset anymore to break free from during a midlife crisis. I’m 40 and my friends have just always been doing their “weird hobbies” like biking, travelling etc. There’s noone who suddenly realizes at 40 that they have missed out and always wanted to see the pyramids, ride a motorcycle or completely change their career. Those who want to ride a motorbike have owned one for years, those who want to travel have done so since their 20s. The expectations have changed. You don’t have to conform to a strict ruleset anymore and give up a lot when you become an adult. So there are less people with major regrets and “I wish I had done XYZ” in their 40s. At least in my bubble



  • That reminds me of a former job I had. I had a male coworker who refused to make coffee. It was a small company with only 10 employees and we had this really cheap machine where you just put coffee in the upper part and then let the water run through. Don’t know what it’s called. Anyway, that coffee machine had ONE (1!) button: on/off. He’d always try to make me or the only other woman in the office make the coffee because “You women know better how to do those things. I never make coffee”. The best part: he was one of the engineers in charge of repairing the power tools that the company sells!

    So, what happened if we refused or weren’t there? There just wasn’t any coffee! Those guys would rather not have their coffee than make it themselves!




  • You also had decent profiles where you could write more texts about you. That could give you an idea of who that person is. There is a difference between “Tea or Coffee? - Tea.” and “Tea or Coffee? - I like green teas but also some black teas like assam. I sometimes bake scones to eat with the tea.” A lit of modern apps don’t even give you the option to show your personality more.
