What is something you learned embarrassingly late in life that everyone else seemed to already know?

I only just learned a couple of years ago that the gas symbol on the dashboard meter has an arrow letting you know which side of the car the tank is on.

What's a goal you want to achieve by the end of the year?

I want to spend more time with family, I want to finish reading a couple of books that are high on my list, and I have a book shelf diorama that I want to put together for my bookshelf.

Moderation Updates

Hello everyone!

We have some updates to the rules and how we moderate to share what we hope will be helpful and an overall improvement to the sub.

First of all, we'd like to highlight that we have changed our brigading rules. We are able to better control which subs do and don't get linked to through auto moderation and so we are able to allow links to other subs and if a link has been posted it does not need to be reported unless you feel that there is some reason that we should not allow links to a specific sub. If you report these, please give your reasons why that sub should not be linked to and we will consider adding it to the blacklist. Modmail is also appropriate for this.

Second, since our mod team has grown there has been some friction around the level of moderation in this sub. We have heard both from people who feel that there is too much repetitive nonsense as well as from people who feel that the level of moderation is too strict. We'd honestly like to make as many people happy as possible. We've been testing with reduced moderation to mixed results with both positive and negative feelings. We are going to update our flair system so that users have more control over what they do and don't see. Hopefully this will help users who want less repetitive content to have a cleaner feed by filtering categories they do not enjoy and users who want less moderation to be more... exposed... to the things we have tried to protect the community from.

With that said, here is the list of flair and how we hope they will be used:

  • 🛑🚧 No Mans Land 🛑🚨 (no male input) 🚧🛑: As always, this flair is to indicate that you ONLY want answers and comments from women. Mods will continue to watch posts flaired with this and remove all comments from men who are not the OP. The OP may engage in discussion in the comments regardless of gender.
  • DAE: Does anyone ever? This tag is for users looking for people who may have similar experiences to themselves.
  • Dating & Relationships 💘: This is for any questions around relationship advice.
  • Sex & Intimacy (no explicit NSFW) 🔞: This is for TASTEFUL questions about sex and intimacy. We feel that the vast majority of sexual questions, even NSFW ones, can still be tailored to not unintentionally include the members of this forum in your fetish.
  • Men Asking Women 💬: General questions designed from a men's perspective to women.
  • Friendships & Family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦: Questions about friendships and family and challenges or experiences around these.
  • Life 🌏: General life questions.
  • Women's Experiences ♀️: Questions around the specific experiences of women.
  • Just Curious ❓: Just curious about something? This is the flair for you.
  • Other 🗣️: Don't feel any of the other categories fit your question? You can still use this flair.
  • Penis Question 🍆🚨: This is a trap. ALL penis posting remains explicitly against the rules. This includes questions about length, width, appearance, usage, how its shaped, or anything. Please only use this flair if you want a unique flair to highlight how you are so obsessed with dick that you still have to ask women about it despite multiple warnings to not do so. We may also ban you depending on the severity. The post will also be instantly removed so no one will be bothered by it. Penis posting without the use of this flair will result in a permaban.

With these changes, we believe users will be able to get a more custom experience from this sub that will feel better for everyone. We appreciate all of you and the time you spend on this community and want to do our best as a mod team to provide a safe and valuable space for women while also keeping as light a touch on moderation as possible.

What's a fictional character that you deeply identify with and why?

I was reading Little Brother by Cory Doctorow and there's a part where the main character is getting coffee and has a moment of connection with the character serving coffee that just felt so human. Aand it highlighted how isolating all the events were up to that moment and I felt it so deeply inside that I became quite emotional. What's a character or moment in fiction that you were able to intensely connect with?

What new games are you most excited for?

I've got quite the list, but I'm very hyped for the follow up to Disco Elysium coming out in a couple of days despite the drama with many of the developers leaving and starting their new studios. I'm also very excited for the new Lego Batman game. It's been a property I've enjoyed a lot for the take it has on the Batman property ever since the movie.

What Upcoming Movies are You Most Excited About?

Title says it all. There's a lot of stuff coming out in the next few months. The one I'm most excited about is one I only just found out about: "I Love Boosters". "Sorry to Bother You" is one of my all time favorite movies so I'm incredibly hyped for a new Boots Riley movie and the cast looks killer.
