    I’m not American, I’m Estonian lmao, but I bet you’re one of those Americans who wants to seem cultured so you talk about how much better things are in other countries? Am I wrong?

    Edit: Nvm, Canadian - but up till like 2 months ago you guys were America Lite tbh

    The US also has literal holidays centered around sharing a meal with friends or family. Thanksgiving turkey, 4th of July barbecue…

    I’d wager the reason people eat in 10 minutes instead of an hour is the same as it is everywhere else: after an 8 hour workday, you feel like all you’ve got between work and sleep is a few hours and you don’t want to waste it on something boring like eating.










  • Your conclusion is probably correct, but I don’t think your proof works. I’m going to play devil’s advocate now: The thing to consider here is that these women were not just raised as boys, they were also born as boys. They may be on HRT now, but what if there are differences between how the male and female brains work that come from the Y chromosome? Or your hormonal balance in your formative years? I would hope not because that gives sexists way too much ammo, but we do not know for sure.

    There’s other potential reasons for all the trans women in software engineering too. Children who don’t feel comfortable in their own identities are probably way less social - I don’t have enough trans friends to confirm this is true, but I feel like it might be. Not being particularly popular in school drives you to gaming as a hobby because you don’t need friends for that, and at least in the 90s and 00s that would usually mean tinkering with your PC (because Windows never fucking worked properly, did it now). This would also explain all the furries IMO.
