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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 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.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 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...

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 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.

[–] TheFlopster@lemmy.world 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.)

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

You don’t even know how much I spin

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Don’t forget the queen spinster, Spindarella!

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 9 points 1 month ago

Like a record baby

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

[–] dumples@midwest.social 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

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Get outta my swamp you kids!

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

Crone is more about personality

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 1 month ago

When they first get pubes according to these fucking weirdos.

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 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.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 39 points 1 month ago (8 children)

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@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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

[–] riskable@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Their not the only ones who should be punished!

[–] towerful@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 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.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 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.

[–] enbyecho@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You misspelled Alfas.

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@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

No, it was too respectful towards women.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 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

[–] aberrate_junior_beatnik@midwest.social 41 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 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?

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

No, they have chosen the Cougar skill path.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

still milf, M for Mature

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 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.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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