klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?4·7 days agoYeah I was a senior in high school and everyone was skipping class on opening day to see it. What a goddamn disappointment!
klemptor@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Should I tell my 13 year old son about my job?11·8 days agoI’m so tired of your posts. Every single one is so formulaic. ‘I’m a single mom of a 13-year-old boy (yes I had him at 15), he sleeps in the same bed as me, should I tell him I’m dating someone, should I tell him I’m a stripper’… yadda yadda yadda. And sometimes you repost your past posts. To what end? I’m not sure what your deal is and why you insist on inappropriate interactions with your son, but it’s sick. I really hope this is a troll account because otherwise you have a seriously messed-up dynamic in which you treat your son more like a husband than your child, and I guarantee he will need counseling. If this is real you need to get your shit together. Jesus fucking christ.
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)103·8 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 World News@lemmy.world•L’Oréal hires OnlyFans star to market makeup popular with teenagersEnglish6·12 days agoUrban Decay has been a sinking ship for years now because they strayed from what made them so beloved. They used to have palettes with funky, grungy color stories, bold nail polishes, and tons of unique colorful single shadows. Somewhere along the way they became so boring and a lot of us who loved them have moved on.
What’s going to attract teenagers to Urban Decay? It’s not a clean girl aesthetic brand, and teenagers don’t have the connection with it that their mothers likely did.
In addition to OnlyFans, this woman seems to also have a sizable TikTok following as a beauty content creator. She probably has the audience that Urban Decay wants to reach. I don’t think it’s a bad idea as a means of getting that audience’s attention, I just wonder how much they’ll be interested in Urban Decay’s product line. Or maybe UD will make even more changes to their product line to attract teenagers. Which… go ahead, I guess, but it’s also sad to see.
You could mull some apple cider in the crock pot with cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks, ginger, nutmeg, and a sliced orange. Great on its own or add some rum!
Edit: forgot to mention allspice and cardamom!
Well that’s annoying because I’ve always used semicolons
I had to do this two truths and a lie thing once, only I was pretty nervous and accidentally told 3 truths, then had to lie about which one was a lie.
I think that the real sexism is in it being the norm that women have to paint their faces in order to be able to partake in society, lest they are deemed ‘unkept’.
This is largely dependent on what society you belong to. I’m a woman and I go out bare-faced all the time. There’s nothing wrong with that. And when I choose to wear makeup, I have fun with it, because I’m doing it for self-expression, not to be socially accepted. A lot of women are like me in this way.
However you can’t go and criticize men for having an aesthetical preference, whilst championing the women’s right to that preference, that’s hypocritical.
Both of these still pertain to women’s aesthetics. Men having an opinion about women’s appearances is not the same as women having an an opinion about their own appearance. There’s no hypocrisy here.
Basically men’s opinions on what women choose to do with their makeup are largely irrelevant and unwanted. Our faces, our choice. Men can have opinions about their own faces and aesthetics.
I have always avoided dating women who would plaster shit all over their faces.
But someone with their faces under a coat of primer, paint, and lacquer, like a car?
Also, I want to have a good idea of what they’ll look like in the morning.
It’s not poor reading comprehension. The post pertained to makeup formulations changing over time and you jump right in with your opinion on the kind of makeup you find unattractive, as if anybody cares. My issue is with the insulting way you describe women doing the kind of makeup that you don’t like. You seem to feel that if you don’t find it attractive, it’s OK to denigrate it. It’s rude and sexist because women exist and do things according to their own preferences and don’t give a shit if you like it or not.
And I’m not the only one pointing this out to you, but you seem determined not to understand.
If you criticise my preferences you are being a bit of a fascist, no?
No. What a ridiculous thing to say.
too much make-up is indicative of having a fake personality
… or, you know, makeup is fun and we use it for self-expression. Jesus christ.
It’s cute you think anyone cares about your opinion on women’s makeup.
I do like a bit of eye liner or shadows (or whatever it’s called) lipstick/gloss, mascara.
My dude this is exactly what “no makeup makeup” is.
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What were your parent's rules on video games?4·17 days agoOne hour of Gameboy every other day. We had Tetris (of course), Super Mario Land 1 (the Egypt themed one) and 2 (the one with the big coins), Star Trek TNG, and Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle. Maybe one or two others that I don’t recall. No other video game systems.
Movies, we weren’t allowed anything past PG until our late teens, and my mom was constantly trying to shove G-rated stuff down our necks. We saw Babe, Toy Story, and It Takes Two in the theater; I was 14 and way too old for that shit. We got Shirley Temple videos in our Easter baskets every year (we did not like Shirley Temple).
Basically we were way too sheltered. It was awful for my social life!
Good fucking riddance.
