    Looking at the image another question immediately arises: Do non-AI generated women still exist?

    Surely if you are near a door and someone wants to come through you open and hold it for them regardless of sex?

    Man here. I haven’t opened a door since 2005. When my wife isn’t with me I just stand outside trying to hide my tears until a woman comes along to let me in.

        Appreciate the sentiment, but my preference for linux is born from the desire to move away from proprietary American software more than anything else; It’s a subject I feel strongly about (To the point where I’m using a Linux phone over android/iOS, self hosted matrix server instead of WhatsApp etc).

          My phone is my last big American tech item I haven’t ditched. I’d be interested to know what phone you went with and what distro and de you run?

            Using a volla Quintus with Ubuntu touch. It does all I need a phone to do, but I wouldn’t say it’s at the stage ready for mass adoption yet. Usually I’ll need to create web apps for certain services (there are no native fediverse clients for example, so I’m using a web app of blorp), so it’s manageable if you’re a power user (and being able to ssh to your phones terminal is pretty cool if you’re into Linux in general).

            Waydroid comes as standard, and UT uses containers to run most desktop apps; known as libertine containers. For UT native apps (which there isn’t a great deal of, hence the reliance on web apps/containers) you can browse here (Webber is your best friend on UT; as it simplifies creation of web apps).

            You don’t have the same freedom with environments on UT as you do desktop OS’… I couldn’t even tell you what the env is called off the top of my head, but if you’re asking about my pc; I’m currently running Garuda with KDE (though considering a switch to something like bazzite, as I’m not home enough to keep up to date with the rolling distros, and just want something that runs games when I am back). My laptop is currently running mint with KDE, which I switch to cinnamon when trying to convert someone from windows.

              I’ve been using Linux on my PCs for about 10 years but the phone you recommend is a top tip thankyou, it looks like it will do the trick nicely.

      The highlight of my corporate career was firmly pulling the door closed behind me, right in front of our security officer, who was following behind me.

    Also yes, men do. Like me personally, I will hold open doors for other men even. And I’ve had doors opened for me too. These tradwife women high-key rude as fuck for never opening doors for people.

      I do, but I always hate when there are two doors and then they feel obligated to do the double thank you. It’s like bless yous with sneezes, three sneeze should only get you one bless you, two doors, one thank you.

        I’m Canadian. We say sorry to strangers for small inconveniences that we are actively angry about. Like a double door “who opened it first and who holds what door” situation. You don’t realize how weird it is until you go to other countries and people laugh at you for apologizing in stupid situations.

        I just wait in the room until someone else opens the door and then I can leave. It’s a matter of principle for me and if I ever get out of this shed everyone will be doing it.

    r/KenM was such a solid subreddit back in the day. Top tier comedy. Now it’s just fake profiles and bots that use the name for clicks.

    One time, I arrived at a small store as an employee was finishing their smoke break, exchanged friendly words as we both went towards the door. In that moment, I realized that if I open the door, it’ll be right in his way and I paused, unsure about how to handle it. He ended up opening it for me, but the whole thing felt awkward as fuck, like my pause was because I was waiting for him to open it for me. Easily the worst door opening experience I’ve ever had. I’m a dude btw.

    I was born on the east coast of Canada. Everyone gets the door held for them, sometimes even when they’re on the other side of the parking lot.

      Judging whether a person is sufficiently distant for it to be acceptable not to hold the door is a classic Eastern Canadian trial.
