FBI needs to pay attention to that man's search history...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

Thinking the exact same thing. Wouldn't be surprised if he already isn't allowed within 50 miles of a school.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 1 month ago

Incel Pedos telling on themselves. They can't seem to help but say they are some of the worst pieces of shit.

Quality post OP.

the arguably cooler sounding "Spinster"

You spin me right round, baby, right round...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wasn’t spinster some old school slang in like the 1920s or something about women who didn’t settle down right away? Or am I hallucinating

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

It's quite a bit older than that. 1800s, I believe? A "spinster" was a women who got a job spinning/weaving fabric, which was one of the few jobs women were allowed at the time, and they were paid for it! Very well, iirc.

So a woman earning her own income and able to support herself, not being required to marry in order to live comfortably.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yes, and well before that too. It meant an unmarried adult woman over the age of _____. (Here is where the discrepancy lies.) It was always true for an elderly woman. But could sometimes be applied all the way down to age 30, especially if you go far enough back that you were expected to be married in your 20s. (And if you weren't, there must be something wrong with you.)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Well I’m unmarried, female and in my mid thirties and there’s definitely something wrong with me. I now identify as a spinster.

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

You don’t even know how much I spin

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

My great grandmother's wedding certificate lists her as a spinster, at the ripe old age of 19. This was a little over 100 years ago, in 1914

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Don’t forget the queen spinster, Spindarella!

When does one become a crone? Or is that for specifically when you forsake society to live in the wilds?

[–] Jiggle_Physics 15 points 1 month ago

Crone is more about personality

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Be the Crone your heart wants you to be. Pointing a shaking finger while muttering at your enemies helps

Get outta my swamp you kids!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

When they first get pubes according to these fucking weirdos.

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

When you Luigi assholes like this, but with herbs and magic. Bonus points if you can poison with mushrooms, as that thematically fits both crones and Luigi.

People misspelling 'woman' annoys the hell out of me. It's literally 'man' prefixed by 'wo'. I don't know what bizarre process could lead to using 'women' instead. And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

[–] Justas 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That and "should of" should be punishable by getting your hand cut off.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Read: "head cut off" and agreed. Sry for that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Their not the only ones who should be punished!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I'd rather stub my toe then see such simple mistakes

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

The difference is that one is singular and one is plural. "Theres a group of women" and "Theres a singlular woman"

People do often get the usage wrong but its not being misspelled.

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

And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

Nah, it's not that deep--tons of men and women make this particular mistake (writing "women" when intending to use the singular "woman") for some bizarre reason. I've observed this phenomenon for well over a decade. Notably, I've never really seen someone write "woman" when they mean "women", only the other direction. And never with man/men at all. Very odd, specific error.

Maybe it's a "should of"-type mistake, I can only guess. But what I know for sure is that it's a very common mistake, and almost certainly unintentional.

[–] taladar 2 points 1 month ago

I recall a particular time period in early-ish smartphone history when the stupid thing tried to correct every instance of woman in my emails to "roman" for some weird reason so that one might just be auto-correct gone stupid again.

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

It's not, it's a mistake I've seen plenty of normal people do, including women.

I hate how there's always some bizarre new term people are using for weird and bad reasons. "Foid". I can guess it's some weird demeaning term for women but still what the fucking fuck.

[–] Justas 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's short for "Femoid", which is itself short for "Feminine humanoid".

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah that's what I figured. Bizarre all around. "Femoid" was too long for these pricks.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

No, it was too respectful towards women.

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

Soon enough it’ll get shorted again to “fud” or “fu”. The devolution of man

Can't speak to every state, but over here Firearm Owners Identification cards are 9-years expired when they turn 19

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

I thought we all agreed up until 29 years 364 days it's babe and after that it's milf

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This implies the existence of the rare 29-year-old leap milf

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 8 points 1 month ago

Imagine the rule 34 on that one. You better bet fans are going to want proof...

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

"Leap milf" is just an alternative definition for a cougar

[–] Justas 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wasn't there a scandal in Germany that 45% of MILF pornstars don't actually have any children?

[–] taladar 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Justas 9 points 1 month ago

Oh nein, I ate die Zwiebel!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If one is over 30 and doesn’t have children are they still a milf by default?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

No, they have chosen the Cougar skill path.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

still milf, M for Mature

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Woman needs to be old enough for her kids' friends to think she's hot to be a milf.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, for some women, that might be as early as 25

Accidental compliment to a bunch of forty-somethings.
