Home ownership

Not just a girls best friend.

I'm a guy and I'd kill for a functional housing market lol

Just had my first experience losing an offer to house flippers who waived inspections, yayyyyy!

Lamy@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 4 pts · 3y

Wanting to be a home owner is just the first step in the gender transition process for a person born as a male

Hot chip and lie

somewhere between soc dem and communist

i have a list of issues that i want fixed, and whether that happens by achieving communist utopia or just properly regulated capitalism isnt that important to me

Hilariously posted in the wrong thread I believe. 😄

i have no clue how this happened

It's a bug. You can start a reply in a given thread, the URL stays the same but the page content changes to something unrelated. So when you post the comment it goes to the wrong thread.

For me I tend to see the wrong post sometimes when I go to an old Lemmy tab after being on different Lemmy tabs. If I hit refresh then I'll get my original post back, but then half the time I go and find the mysterious post because I want to read it now I got a taste.

Top comment of the pooping post had the same situation happen. It's actually a feature, not a bug 😅

Fundamental rights

Scew@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Control of their bodies?

CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi · 19 pts · 3y

Am a woman. Girl's best friends, in no particular order: IUD, my own bank account, vibrator.

a_statistician@lemmy.ml · 16 pts · 3y (1 reply)

My 2yo has a shirt that says "dinos are a girls best friend". I have to say, I could get behind that. Other top contenders: clothing with decent size pockets, dogs, and snacks.

ItsaB3AR@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y

Pockets would make my gf so happy.

TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub · 13 pts · 3y (2 replies)

It was marketing bs. Pretty sure it hasn't changed.

AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

It kind of replaced a dowery. Proof that the man could afford to take care of the woman. But instead of gifting livestock or money they buy a useless rock that looks nice. As a symbol of commitment I think it works. But definitely the idea of 3 months salary is pure marketing.

PuceDogs@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Except a dowry goes the other way. It’s a gift to the groom from the bride or her family to help support her

G59@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Functional pockets, probably.

Karlos_Cantana@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 3y

I think you nailed it! I'm not a girl, so I didn't realize the lack of functional pockets until my daughters started complaining about it. Now I find myself looking for pockets in women's clothing. They are very hard to find.

What is the Modern Girl’s Best friend?

GIven the original context (increased financial security): a job.

shua_too@midwest.social · 10 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Maybe a good vibrator?

BestBouclettes@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Like a womanizer, absolutely

vanillabear@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

Probably the smartphone

OtakuAltair@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Probably cats, understandably

Either cats or a vibrator.

CmdrShepard@lemmy.one · 7 pts · 3y (3 replies)

But definitely not vibrating cats.

SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 3y

But definitely not vibrating cats.

Karlos_Cantana@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 3y

A vibrating pussy?

myersjustinc@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 3y

How else do you describe a cat while it's purring, then?

collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de · 6 pts · 3y

Whatever the influencers are pushing this week.

Well diamonds are forever so presumably still diamonds.

I'm not very in tune with the girl market :nerd: but I would probably say her phone. Buy her a Galaxy Z Flip 4 and she will love you for life (not guaranteed)

Jamie@jamie.moe · 1 pts · 3y

As someone whose girlfriend is in love with her Flip 4, yeah I'd call that an accurate statement.

I didn't buy it for her though, she just kinda did it.

ergifruit@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 3y

one of those lil lipstick-shaped pocket knives?

_finger_@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Organic stuff. Oils and stupid topical stuff.
