Oooh, I never noticed that difference, just remembered there being a timestamp. TIL, thanks.

Are we sure they would be upset? I can kinda see my cat reading it, turning to stare directly at me and then slowly but deliberately climbing in.

Maybe it was shared through an app. If I share a YouTube video from NewPipe, by default it will add the time code to the URL.

Ich hab auf einem allgemeinbildenden Gymnasium Physik als Leistungskurs genommen und du willst gar nicht wissen, wie oft ich mich allein schon dafür rechtfertigen musste. Obwohl ich eine der besten im Kurs war.

Hätte ich im Realschulabschlussalter entscheiden müssen, auf welche Art Gymnasium ich gehe, hätte ich niemals den Mut gehabt, so gegen alle gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen zu gehen und auf ein Informationstechnisches Gymnasium zu gehen.

Es ist außerdem auch ein recht spezieller Fall, weil sich “Junges” als eigenständiges Substantiv mit einer definierten Bedeutung etabliert hat. Sonst werden substantivierte Adjektive glaube ich eher mit Kontext oder in Redewendungen verwendet.

I really made a fool of myself, haven’t I?

Well, for what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?

I don’t think the ancient Greeks used Roman numerals. Though to be fair, I-III should be easy to understand anyway.

Es handelt sich hier um ein substantiviertes Adjektiv. Also im Prinzip wird aus “ein junges Tier” “ein Junges”. Und aus “das junge Tier” “das Junge”.

S oder kein s hängt also davon ab, wie das normale Adjektiv gebildet wird.

I love my watch which has a distinctly “feminine” look to it. But when I bought it, most watches that drew my attention were watches marketed to men. Sadly I couldn’t just get one anyway because I have really slim wrists even for a woman and they were way to big for me.

Update: Now I can see two pinned posts.

I can’t see any pinned posts – accessing via mobile app Eternity.

I could see them in the old community.

It makes me so sad when children are talked out of their potential.

I was lucky enough to grow up in an environment that did neither explicitly nor implicitly teach that there are things women are supposed to be good at or bad at. There are a lot of women in my extended family who pursued careers in STEM and even some in male dominated fields like car mechanics. Others have “traditional” women’s jobs like hairdresser or teacher. It was never discussed, it was normal for me.

I think the first time I heard that women are supposedly bad at maths, was sometime in elementary school, when it was already my favourite subject.

It made me quite resilient to these kinds of internalised stereotypes.

But not that this is cheese.

Here’s to a new attempt.

I was worried I’d have problems with piefed, because it was mentioned in several comments but it seems to work without issues in the app I’m using (Eternity).

Edit: Or were the issues just for accounts on piefed? Well anyway, I’m here.

I get that. It shouldn’t be necessary to do research just to be sure it’s safe. I apologise for my aggressive tone. It must be really scary and exhausting to live somewhere like that. My country is still holding up but seems to be sliding slowly in that direction too.

So do whatever makes you stay safe and feel safe.

I’m sorry if I misgendered you. I was already exhausted from the other comments that clearly state that they are men and probably was biased in that regard. But my point still stands that there is no reason to completely forego tracking apps.

Drip, the app mentioned several times in this thread, let’s you encrypt the locally stored database with a password you have to enter every time you open the app. How is that not safer than a random piece of paper?

It’s so exhausting that this thread is full of men telling women what they should and shouldn’t do while having very little knowledge about the topic.

Do people need an app for taking notes? Or a calendar?

Sure, I used to do it on paper for many years. But it’s much more convenient to track it on my phone, which I have almost always with me. That way I can check whether I’m likely to be bleeding heavily before making plans with my friends to go swimming that day or on a long hike without access to a toilet.

Also many women don’t just track the blood flow but also other data like temperature, cervix and cervical mucus. This helps calculate the most fertile days. It’s much easier to let an app do that.

I think one reason it’s worse than on reddit is because posts are more often visible on “all”. On reddit posts on small subreddits mostly got read by the people who looked for them. Here with much fewer posts and communities posts often reach “everyone”.
