  • Democrats sweep all 30 House of Delegates seats in Northern Virginia, flip 13 seats statewide

  • This is obviously "good" but can someone help me understand how meaningful this is?

    I presume this is a good indicator that the happenings in recent month have "activated" voters?

  • These comments really illustrate how badly Lemmy has become a homogenised echo chamber.

    Users just subscribe to these generalised binary concepts like religion = terrible, and any attempt to demonstrate the nuance is downvoted.

  • I guess its relevant in the absence of additional information. However, if you have video, or witnesses, or accurate statements from those involved, those factors are more relevant.

  • Not sure what youre getting at.

    Obviously it depends how good and how bad.

    Also, there going to show both - but the frequency of each will depend on their assessed likelihood that im going to click and the revenue generated if I do so.

    My 97-year-old great-grandma once said, “In my youth, being a mistress was more advantageous than being a wife for a woman.” How factual do you think this statement is for that time period?

    Jump

  • Sorry I don't understand why your grandma would say that.

    If she got pregnant to a guy out of wedlock she would be entirely at his mercy. Presumably your great-grandpa did the right thing all the way along. However, there would be no way to force him to contribute to the child's welfare. Additionally, your own prospects as an unmarried mother were pretty dismal I think.

    In 2025 I think things have changed - there's certainly no point being married in Australia for example. The mother of my children is not my mistress, she's my partner. In the context of the law she is the same as my wife. The reason we're together is not a piece of paper or a promise, it's because every day for the last 12 years we have woken up and chosen to remain together.

    Polygamous or poly-amorous relationships are more common than they ever have been?

    Honestly it sounds like great grandma was saying "I stayed with the man I loved and it worked out for me but you should get married".

  • I don't think that this dynamic was particularly uncommon in the before times anywhere in the world.

    I think it would be uncommon for a family who's daughter had been violently abducted and raped, to force that daughter to marry the perpetrator.

    However, in cases where the daughter may have been manipulated with trinkets or promises of marriage, into providing consent (rape by some definitions), then requiring the guy to marry the daughter may in some cases be a desirable outcome for the daughter because it does at the very least ensure her welfare, after a fashion.

    As an aside, yes this is more or less the definition of a shotgun wedding in English. Although, in 2025 it's not really rapists being forced into marriage but fathers. As in, if you get someone pregnant you might be forced (not by law but by social custom) to marry her, usually in a few months before she starts to show.

    I think I've misunderstood you because this is certainly possible, and I'm sure you're aware of that.

  • What is the most attractive quality in a person that instantly makes them desirable?

  • Its this.

    IDK about "lonely" exactly but I definitely dont get a lot of attention or kindness from people.

    Now I think about it i dont offer much either but thats life i guess.

  • How do you feel if someone who is not medium attractive winks at you?

    Or if they just say something weird, like a joke you don't appreciate, and wink at you?

    I guess there has to be some kind of established not-a-creepy-stranger before risking a wink becomes appropriate.

  • I'm happy to concede that I'm wrong about this.

    When I was learning to drive my dad told me that if you have an accident, the insurer will assign fault to whomever has damage to the front of their vehicle.

    I've done some very brief research and determined that I've been completely wrong about this for the last 26 years. Thanks for that dad.

  • Im not so sure they would be found "at fault" by an insurer if im honest.

    The damage appears to be on the front of her car, but on the side of theirs.

    An insurer would likely find that while the van obviously shouldn't have cut across, the hatchback is at fault.

    On the first day with any instructor they will tell you to drive to the conditions. That means that if ICE is present, and kidnapping people, drive slowly enough that you can stop if they cut over into your lane.
