Judging by replies to that thread… yes, quite a bit. One woman described how she had to wear ear protection after ear surgery and a guy removed that to talk to her from behind. She was in pain for 2 days afterwards.

It's a thinner batter - think tempura rather than chipshop fish (or corndog if you're of the USian persuasion).

You guys put corndog batter on fish???

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

No, it's not as thick as that, but it's thicker than tempura batter.

lol, maybe engaged? So like wearing just the engagement ring instead of both rings?

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk I've known married couples that preferred to live far apart or other married couples who were casual partners but needed marital benefits

20 years in. Nobody is taking it that seriously any more.

H..How can someone come even close to think it is a smart move to stand behind someone, invading personal space (at minimum with their arm), grabbing and taking away ones belongings aka the headphones and then expecting that person will be happy to have a nice chat with you which results in a date?

Some people really are just that stupid I guess.

Cavemen like that only understand a wack on the head, and even then they think the woman is into them.

Because they think they're hot shit and have an ego the size of Jupiter. In their mind, they're the catch and someone would have to be a (insert slur) to turn down such a gracious offer from the world's most attractive "alpha male".

One woman described how she had to wear ear protection after ear surgery and a guy removed that to talk to her from behind. She was in pain for 2 days afterwards.

Sounds like she suffered consequences while the man who harmed her suffered no consequences.

We should be able to easily call police and sue for damages in such situations.

Someone... touched what some stranger is wearing to remove it... and it wasn't an emergency???

What the fuck is wrong with people

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

entitlement. women are objects for men to interact with and men are owed their attention when they want it. you have ear protection? well that interferes with me seeking female attention, so off it goes. that's the mindset we're dealing with.

To the gas chambers with them all!
