  • No stupid questions should also mean no stupid answers imo. You’ll need a sponge, a hard scrubber of some sort (I think steel wool fuck your bathroom up). Grime remover of some sort. Soap will work but some stuff is just too tough like hard deposits think “Calcium Lime Rust” for this. Whatever you do DO NOT mix bleach and ammonia, you’ll kill yourself. It’s not too hard to clean overall just a pain in the ass. Keep it clean by doing little bits all the time and it won’t be so bad. I’d also suggest some rubber gloves just because those chemicals will fuck your skin up and whether you like it or not it will get absorbed into your skin




  • I have several very close friends who are Chinese. Some from near Shanghai some from near Beijing. The reason they explain is much more cultural and not capitalist as some here suggest.

    For one, it is extremely rough on women because young men act very spoiled and men in general have an abusive problem there. So they don’t want to have kids with these men and they don’t want to marry them either. Women are getting married much later with it not being completely unheard of to be 30 and unmarried anymore in China.

    Second, it is also hard on women because of family. When they get married the man’s family is their new family essentially and they lose support from their blood family. This can be tough especially if the husbands family hates the woman (not that rare).

    Third, divorce is still rare because of the culture of stick through it and be a good wife. Divorce is also hard when you have kids and there’s a lot of pressure to have kids right away when you get married. This is changing but it’s slow.

    Finally, we arrive at feminism. This is a good change and women are realizing all the cultural problems and see they can be happier on their own and make big money on their own too. So why get married, why have kids when you can be happy by yourself?

    So all in all it’s not bad changes, these are cultural changes most countries go through and I’m happy for the Chinese women and hope all goes well. If you have any questions or want me to elaborate just let me know.

    I mean the Bible in general is written in old language and meaning. Could it mean to support him and shoulder him as he grows older and can’t walk? Taking anything literally from the Bible tends to look strange as society has evolved over thousands of years since then







  • Yeah idk, I’ve tended to see the exact opposite. I rarely downvote and I think most people I interact with on here do the same.

    What kind of communities do you frequent? For me it’s a pretty curated c/home with most chill communities and then I’ll browse c/all and even on there most people seem chill.

    So long winded but to answer your question I think most people are nice, the elitist comments might not get drowned out as much since there’s less people.

    Edit: wanted to add that the people here on lemmy seem to be older and techy and that demographic tends to be more clear and blunt. However, that might be something that comes off hostile but really isn’t.





  • I think that number will grow as Twitter continues to decay. People clinging to the dead corpse is pretty cringe when it comes to Twitter.

    Facebook is dead already I feel and most people I know using it are only in there for old people who can’t use anything else or for the marketplace. Under the same umbrella, instagram is dead unless you’re selling something.

    Forums like Reddit and lemmy I think will last the longest, but even then when the toxicity grows and transfers over from Reddit to here I probably will stop using it as much

    Also I say dead as in what it originally was has been lost in the wake of “influencers” and companies
