Why would the capitalists want misogyny? They don’t care about women’s self esteem - just their money.

I feel like there needs to be a name for this fallacy. The one where you say “society did X, and I don’t like it, so we shouldn’t do X!” As if you can just decree it and make it so, despite the fact that all social constructs are enourmously complicated and deeply ingrained in a culture.

blarghly@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Czech climber Adam Ondra climbing El Capitán in Yosemite National ParkEnglish2·3 hours agoThe article is wrong. You can clearly see Adams lead line in the picture in the article.
Adam on The Dawn Wall was super impressive - iirc, he sent the route in a single ground-up push or something like that, when it took Tommy, like, 8 years to establish the route. But he def didn’t solo it.

But then you do it a few times and you get used to it.
blarghly@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Czech climber Adam Ondra climbing El Capitán in Yosemite National ParkEnglish1·3 hours agoLook up thread. Better pic posted shows it is clearly his lead line, and he has a bolt at his feet. The rope looks tight because it has friction from running through the pieces below, and because the rope has weight of its own pulling it down.
blarghly@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Japan's historic work ethic is declining—45% of workers admit they're quiet quittingEnglish61·3 hours agoI mean, that’s not what quiet quitting is. Quiet quitting is doing the bare minimum to not get fired from your job, which is different from the bare minimum that would be reasonably expected of you. Most of the time, if your employer actually knew how much work you were doing, they would want to fire you, and it would be for-cause, because you are doing essentially nothing.
This is possible because many workplaces have very little accountability. One of the classic moves is to always be working on multiple projects - so anytime someone asks you to do something, you say “I dunno how quickly I’ll be able to get that done, I’m pretty swamped from X” - at which point everyone sagely nods and agrees that the team working on X is definitely swamped.
If your bosses actually knew that you were just lying, and were spending 7.5 hours everyday playing video games, you’d be fired. But since they don’t know that, you can keep getting paid for showing up to a few meetings every week. That’s what quiet quitting is.

Obesity, for example, clearly has to do with diet, which has to do with subsidies for some foods over others (and other factors).
But yes, zoning is very important and desperately needs reform.
Same! Plus, then all the hotties will be impressed that I built a whole goddamned city and will be super down for kinky 3 ways!
