Let’s just hope they’re also talking to themselves enough to not point fingers.

I do that at home, lol. I really hope the walls are thick enough for the neighbours not to catch on to the fact that there’s no one else around.

The dog announces you, lol.

It’s not weird at all. Just didn’t register with me before that there might be multiple reasons why people do it.

For context: I happen to look very nonthreatening. Literally no one is scared of me, ever. For better or for worse. That doesn’t even apply to most women, I’d say. So, if I’m not consciously thinking about it or someone tells me, I won’t notice details like that. It’s honestly good to know.

Might look her up, thanks!

Guyfriends told me before that they do the crossing the street thing. Or walking a bit faster at night to get passed me. I noticed people do that sometimes. Never noticed the former (which might mean it just works) and I very much appreciate the latter.

Just happy that more and more people develop some awareness for this stuff.

As for the humming: it certainly helps prevent jump scares I guess. Since some assholes also whistled or hummed at me before, only to try and get my attention, I’ll still very much ignore men who do that, just in case.

Knowing the reason, I’ll recognize and appreciate the gesture as a nice one in the future though.

No, I meant actual creeps, like someone making a noise and then aggressively hitting on me or saying something disgusting. Those happen from time to time.

You’re good.

The pattern that makes us think things are cute (=young) is pretty universal among animals. It includes big eyes, big heads in relation to the rest of the body, small noses and a small mouth. We find things like cats super cute, because even adult cats are pretty close to that pattern, compared to f.e. adult humans.

So I guess that an animal whose adult form is less close to this pattern than ours would probably think of us as especially cute?

I personally think we’re pretty hideous though. Weird, hairless apes.

Probably, but I’d only believe that there is really nothing to be done once I see someone actually left-leaning attempt everything in their toolbox.

I believe Sanders would have tried to change as much as possible in the US. I also believe that he would have failed regarding a lot of things. Would have really liked to see him try though.

I get it and I don’t disagree, but- Well, I for one wouldn’t mind some radical change. Just not in the direction that it is going right now. Radical in itself is nothing bad, when the status quo is as bad as it is.

Now this is fucking cool! Sure it will probably take some time to become affordable, but that it’s possible at all is awesome.

I mean, I was super curious what Sanders could’ve done if he had the chance. Instead, we got the opposite experiment.

If democrats in the US vote for stuff like Biden, then they’re not voting for any radical change. Trump isn’t comparable to that.
