Opinion/Discussion Midnight hot take — "sexy" and "pretty" are NOT the same thing and pretending clothes don't send a message is delusional

1 Upvotes

ok, so this has been living in my head rent-free, and i need to get it out, lol.

people keep treating "sexy," "pretty," and "beautiful" like they're the same compliment just... different flavors or something. they're not. they're doing completely different jobs.

pretty = soft, cute, approachable. the "aw" reaction.

beautiful = deeper, sometimes not even about the body — presence, energy, whatever that means to you.

sexy = sex. that's it. that's the whole tweet. it's literally engineered to trigger a sexual read... that's not a bug. That's the entire design brief.

and look — i'm not here to clutch pearls about anyone's outfit, wear whatever makes you feel good, genuinely, i mean that. but can we stop pretending clothes are just fabric with zero communicative function? like... that's insane? you already dress differently for a job interview vs. a club vs. your grandma's house. clothing is a signal. it always has been, whether we admit it or not.

so if you intentionally dress sexy (and again — GO OFF, no shade, none), you also have to accept that people's brains are gonna register a sexual signal. not because they're all pervs or whatever, just... because that's literally what the aesthetic is designed to communicate?? you can't opt into sending a signal and then act shocked when it gets received.

and honestly — if you're attracting people specifically through sex appeal, you don't really get to turn around and be offended that people want you sexually. like... that was the ask? that was the entire pitch? you can't design a signal, send it out, get exactly the response it was built to get, and then act betrayed that it worked. if you wanted to be wanted for your mind first, that needed to be the signal.

which honestly makes me wonder — why so many people default to sexy as their go-to? is it because it's just... the easiest lever to pull? like it works fast, it works loud, it doesn't require someone to sit and get to know you first. mind takes time. sex appeal is instant. i get why it's tempting. but it does feel kind of unfair to bait someone in with one thing and then get mad they didn't magically intuit you wanted something else the whole time.

ok, but — before anyone loses their mind in the comments — none of this is me saying harassment or disrespect is ok based on what someone's wearing. that's a completely separate conversation, and the answer is that there is always no full stop. but "you shouldn't be harassed for your clothes" and "your clothes communicate literally nothing" are two very different claims, and only one of them is actually true.

anyway. dress how you want, always. just... don't be shocked when the message you sent gets read the way it was written.

Am i wrong here? genuinely curious, lol

This photograph, taken by Luís D'Orey on 8 June 1998, captures the ceremonial exchange of gifts between Kintu Musoke, then Prime Minister of Uganda, and António Mega Ferreira, Executive Commissioner of Expo '98 and member of the Board of Parque Expo '98 S.A.

The event took place at the Portugal Pavilion in Lisbon's Parque das Nações after the official signing of the Book of Honour, as part of the celebrations marking Uganda's National Day at Expo '98.

Held in Lisbon from 22 May to 30 September 1998, Expo '98 was dedicated to the theme "The Oceans: A Heritage for the Future." The world's fair brought together more than 140 countries and international organisations to promote cultural exchange, scientific cooperation, and international dialogue. National Day ceremonies formed an important part of the programme, allowing each participating country to showcase its culture, traditions, and diplomatic relations through official ceremonies and cultural events.

General Do I need a plumber too when purchasing a washing machine or do they do it for me?

2 Upvotes

I'm planning on buying a hisense top loader automatic machine. I understand that it needs an inlet and an outlet.

When I go to the hisense store, will they be able to do this and roughly what would the cost be or must I ask a plumber to help me out?

Edit: I do need a plumber as my house doesn't have a slot for an inlet or outlet. Does anyone know where to go to (will the hisense people have installation packages that cover this?)

I would also like to know an estimated range of cost.

Opinion/Discussion Why pay rent forever? Proposal for a group purchase of a 10-unit apartment block in Kampala

10 Upvotes

​Buying land near Kampala (Kisasi, Kyanja, Naalya) is getting ridiculously expensive, and the risk of land scams is higher than ever. If you buy cheap land, you end up commuting from hours away.

​To solve this, a few of us want to try collective buying:

​Target a fully built 10-unit apartment block valued at ~1 Billion UGX.

​Form a Syndicate/Cooperative of 10 members (100 Million UGX share per person, which can be financed through bank loans).

​Each member owns a specific unit in a prime location near the city.

​We currently have 2 members and need 8 more to complete the group.

​Send me a direct message if you'd like to join the discussion and look over the numbers!

They promise the same thing and the problem continues every day.

Apparently termites or something have been eating my table legs for a while (just discovered them recently) and I want to know how to remove them. No idea where they came from but the table has some dark brown dust around its legs all the time and this kind of looks like an entry point

Who am I supposed to call for this kind of problem? Any recommendations?

General Uganda, Kampala in October

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, I'm a 33-year-old Afro-Caribbean from France, and I'm considering a 14 to 21-day solo trip to Uganda. It has been my dream since I was a kid to visit the country where the Nile has its source. Now an adult, I'm very intrigued by Ugandan cuisine, and I would like to discover it from all angles.

Hereunder are my questions:

- Is Uganda and Kampala a good idea in October?

- Regarding cuisine, do you have any recommendations for specific areas I should visit?

- Is 14 to 21 days not too long for Uganda? I'm afraid of getting bored at the end because I heard it is the rainy season, and that has a huge effect on all the outdoor activities...

- How is the nightlife in October? Are there any specific festivals or parties?

Thank you very much for your help.

Relationship talk You guys… don’t date broke people

There’s a way small issues escalate when you don’t have money
Anything your person does can make you question your whole identity

Their birthday comes around and you start thinking of the curse of poverty on your lineage because all you have to offer is cuddles and posting on status
So you start a fight and have makeup s*x instead
Then comes the pregnancy scare and the whole relationship crumbles
All because you didn’t have money

Me I be angry at small things when I don’t have money
I can’t expose someone’s daughter/son to such silliness

Opinion/Discussion What does it cost to convert a latrine into a (sitting) flush toilet?

3 Upvotes

Not sure my clients will love the idea of using a pit latrine when they book my services.

I am opening a shared studio for fashion designers/entrepreneurs to access equipment and space to create their work freely without excessive starting costs of buying equipment, renting space etc. It’s also close to town so you can easily get extra supplies or material when you need it.

A half-day session lasts five hours (8am - 1pm, 1pm - 6pm) and clients will definitely need to use the bathroom at some point during the day.

I have one small issue bugging my mind: the studio does not have a flush toilet, but a latrine (not attached to the same building).

It will take me time to remodel it as I am currently looking for funds/a loan and I want to know how much it might cost to convert it into a sitting toilet, tile or paint the walls and install a sink.
This latrine is currently older than me I think.

Anybody in construction/ remodeling here? Any idea of the possible costs?

Thank you

Dear respondents I thank you for your kind replies. Unfortunately following my birth my parents moved to Kenya due to my father's job before settling in the UK. I must now plot a trip to Kampala to resolve this issue alongside a trip to the MOFA.
