I noticed that "Ask Lemmy" only has 4 moderators.
That's a single mod per 12k~ subscribers.
Or a single mod per 250~ users daily.
@14specks hasn't made a post and comment in 2 years.
@tmpod@lemmy.pt hasn't in 4 months.
@Cloak in a year.
@mekhos in 3 years.
Where are the mods?
In regard to explaining why I have my belt on my waist.
It’s something I do, you’ll rarely find anyone else who does as well.
It helps bring focus to how “snatched” my waist is when I’m walking, Functioning somewhat as a corset, but sleeker and allows me to fill in the negative space with other textures.
In regard to “where it should go”, My hips are wide enough to hold my jeans on without a belt, the zipper gets jammed from the tension, and thus why I also don’t button up.
While many accessories typically were designed with a specific purpose in mind, one must consider alternative usecases as well.
For example, bracelets for the wrist can also be used on the ankles.
Whenever you use the word “should”, consider that “should” is a generalizing statement, perhaps you had an expectation of how a belt was to be used(?), and now you know more about how I used the belt ✨.
I hope you do consider we’re people of different backgrounds, so don’t demean yourself as a “boomer” for not fully understanding the wear of another.
You did well seeking to understand, and now you’ll walk away with a bit more knowledge perhaps.
1. He saw me walking.
2. He walked into the grass & mud when I was 15m away.
3. He continued to walk in the grass & mud past me.
4. When he was past me for an additional 10m, he walked back onto the sidewalk.
Yeah I was wearing what I think is pretty good style (picture attached), but was that all the reason to get his sneakers wet and muddy?
There was plenty of space on the sidewalk for us to just, walk on our respective right sides.
Need perspective of some men.
Picture of my outfit.

**Edit 1**
I am going with "DeltaWingDragon"s [response](https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18375257). Most likely a covid era leftover behavior, especially because I was wearing a mask and he was not.

For the men posting about not wanting to be a threat, in this case I think it would have been best for you (not him, as his reason is unknown and likely what the precious edit mentioned), is to pass by while following the sidewalk sharing rules (move to your right side of the sidewalk) and nodding a "good morning" or whichever time day it was as you go bye, without shifting much eye focus from the path you're walking.
Please don't internalize that you're a threat, you can be much more then what you're painted as.
- Do I cut holes in them to let air in?
- Do I buy new ones with light weight breathable material?
- Do I buy croc-platforms?
- Do I buy anti-perspirants?
- Do I add air cooling or water cooling?
- Buy platforms shoes instead of boots?
What do I do 😭?
I don't want to go back to sneakers (I am tired of them), and I am too self-conscious to wear sandles or open top heals.

I recently started using Tolcylen for an infection on my nails.
I think its been like 2 weeks now for me, ans the nails no longer have yellowish scarring when dry, instead being whiteish in the parts that were once yellowish.
I'm guessing the whiteish scarring are previously infected areas that have been purged of fungus, and that once the nail grows out in a few months time there will be no more scar marks.
How did the progress go for you if you've used Tolcylen?
I once drank soylent before going partying, and I didn't have to use the bathroom at all.
That was really good because taking off my outfit to use the bathroom sucks.
Building upon that, if I just kept drinking soylent, I could party non-stop without bathroom breaks.
So how many days can my digestive system, and body, handle being on a soylent only diet?
Will my guts atrophy?
Are they real?
Are they effective?
I have.
It's, just sometimes that occurs when I eat.
Munching for a bit, then hook my finger and pull my hair out.
I can't push my hair back, because it is wavy and demands to be able to flow over my shoulders.
I can't tie it up lest it rebels and consumes the hairband.
I have just learned to accept it. Have you?
What are things that you look for?
What are some red flags?
Do you have a set time, or do you do it on the deadline date, or perhaps whenever you remember to?
I am trying to figure out when I should.
Like, if its collapsed, do I file? Do I even have to?
I am most certainly going to pay my state tax, but then what? What about stuff like my social security funds?
(I am asking for others because we're at that point now I suppose)
It costs over a thousand USD to take some ocean liners.
What are alternative ways that are cheaper, and how would one go about it?
(No planes)
For context, I know someone who went from China to California by freight ship in the 1990s by bribing the captain with beer and their cooking skills.
Greetings!
A friend of mine wants to be more secure and private in light of recent events in the USA.
They originally told me they were going to use telegram, in which I explained how Telegram is considered compromised, and Signal is far more secure to use.
But they want more detailed explanations then what I provided verbally.
Please help me explain things better to them! ✨
I am going to forward this thread to them, so they can see all your responses!
And if you can, please cite!
Thank you! ✨
Let's keep things simple two rules.
- No giving sentience, This is a no brainer issue.
- Let's keep it to beings under the Animilia kingdom. "mutated virus/bacteria" is a common trope.
To start:
Let's modify ants to have lungs.
Most insects are constrained by the amount of oxygen they can acquire through their exoskeleton.
Imagine how big they can get if they didn't have that constraint?
I'll start off with one, Being upset about a breakup that happened hundreds of years ago.
Edit 1:
- Heath death of the universe, Death of the sun, etc, does not count. I feel like focusing on this is an overused point.
Edit 2:
- Loneliness does not count. I feel like we all know immortality means you'll miss people and lose them.
Why?
