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?3·1 day 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?11·2 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?)93·2 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 Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•If Democrats win the house should they give Washington DC, and Puerto Rico statehood?2·3 days agoTrue but I feel like if it’s offered to DC it should also be offered again to PR to be fair and in case sentiment has shifted.

klemptor@startrek.websiteto Science Memes@mander.xyz•The virus she told you not to worry about.English14·4 days agoYeah but viruses are obligate intracellular parasites - they can’t survive for long outside of a host cell and have to reproduce using the machinery of a host cell. I’m curious what this virus is parasitizing.
Not really. In Generalized Anxiety Disorder you often are anxious for no reason. It’s like your brain lives in a state of anxiety and it doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to worry about, your brain will still worry.

klemptor@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Just need one lemon. The singles are huge.English21·5 days agoThe bag is meant to be purchased as a unit. If you open the bag, the lemon inside won’t be labeled for individual purchase (no sticker with a code to ring it up at the register), plus now you’ve ruined the bag so nobody else can purchase it.

klemptor@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•L’Oréal hires OnlyFans star to market makeup popular with teenagersEnglish6·6 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!
