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!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hilariously posted in the wrong thread I believe. πŸ˜„

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i have no clue how this happened

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 πŸ˜…

Control of their bodies?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pockets would make my gf so happy.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] AdamEatsAss 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 3 points 1 year ago

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 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Functional pockets, probably.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] vanillabear 10 points 1 year ago

Probably the smartphone

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] BestBouclettes 2 points 1 year ago

Like a womanizer, absolutely

[–] OtakuAltair 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Probably cats, understandably

[–] MR_GABARISE 1 points 1 year ago

Welp, time to find thebronzejade back on lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Either cats or a vibrator.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But definitely not vibrating cats.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

~~But~~ definitely ~~not~~ vibrating cats.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

A vibrating pussy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Whatever the influencers are pushing this week.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Demons.

(I feel like i have to clarify, so just in case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhK2ev_O-pc)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well diamonds are forever so presumably still diamonds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

depends on the person

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

one of those lil lipstick-shaped pocket knives?

[–] MarsRT 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Organic stuff. Oils and stupid topical stuff.
