It would be nice to just have a list of places that are good to shop at... You can only get so much from Costco

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

we have a store called winco that has a bulk section. they're pretty decent. it's regional. I also like HEB, but i don't live where they are.

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago

You forgot to mention that WinCo is also employee-owned!

[-] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Having both Winco and Costco nearby is pretty great

At least Aldi let's it's cashiers sit, which is something, but not sure anything beyond that

[-] TwentySeven@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I'm pretty sure aldi and trader Joe's are the same company

[-] Mr_WorldlyWiseman 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Actually a fun fact there, they're both owned by different Aldis.

[Aldi] was split into two separate groups in 1960 that later became Aldi Nord (initially Northern West Germany), headquartered in Essen, and Aldi Süd (initially Southern West Germany), headquartered in neighbouring Mülheim

The brothers split the company in 1960, reportedly over a dispute about whether they should sell cigarettes. Karl believed they would attract shoplifters, while his brother, Theo, did not. This led to Theo running Aldi Nord and Karl running Aldi Süd.[22]

in 1976, Aldi Süd opened its first store in the United States in Iowa,[a][29][30] and, in 1979, Aldi Nord acquired Trader Joe's.[19]

new yorkers constantly thinking something that is normal and happens everywhere is somehow special to them and only them

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

NYC, especially Queens and BK area is considered to be one of the most diverse area in the world. They actually picked Queens to study people's DNA with volunteers.

Reminder that Trader Joe's has a buiness practice of stealing food designs from small businesses.

Theyre very much the 19th century Archeology of the grocery world.

Am I crazy or can you not be a lesbian if you're non-binary

You absolutely can be, and there is a rich history of gender diversity in lesbian spaces

[-] Not_Dav3@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago

That's great but can you maybe explain in more detail for us dumdums?

Because, as far as I know, lesbian means "woman who loves women" and non-binary means "neither man nor woman". So how can someone be a woman who loves women if they're not a woman?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

AFAB, nonbinary person who identities as non-binary because they are fluid. I.e. sometimes a woman, sometimes another gender. Dating a woman.

I guess if we're getting technical, they're only a lesbian sometimes. But we don't have a term for truly NB dating a woman. And they don't self identify as male so they're not hetero. So lesbian it is.

See? Easy peasy.

But this is why I stopped trying to make logical sense of it. I don't need to understand that level of detail about a stranger, and I dont care who they're fuckin unless it's me.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

It's best to identify as "lesbian" if it's close to your situation, because there are a lot more brunches that way.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

wait, the lesbians get more brunches than us bis? when did this happen

In a practical sense, identifying as lesbian makes it clear who they are interested in. Who they are should already be understood.

Honestly, non-binary hetero would be considerably more confusing. I at least know with a non-binary lesbian that they like women.

[-] erin@piefed.blahaj.zone 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

All the labels are made up, there are no rules, and you might identify with multiple categories. I use the labels bisexual, pansexual, and lesbian interchangeably, because they have different connotations and familiarity to most people. Need to communicate that I'm with a woman? A lesbian relationship. Want to make it clear that I'm attracted to all sorts of gender identities? Bisexual/pansexual, depending on who I'm talking to and what terms their familiar with/how specific I feel like being.

The labels don't have hard and fast rules. I'm attracted to women, I'm gay, I'm lesbian, I'm non-binary, etc. It doesn't matter. They all apply to me and can overlap to varying degrees. I know a trans guy that calls himself both a gay man and a lesbian. I know trans women that refer to themselves as twinks. Specificity and semantics aren't as important as communicating what you intend to whoever you're talking to.

Gender and sexuality aren't hardwired rules, but influenced by our culture and environment. This is true for everyone. This isn't to say that someone's gender or sexuality isn't intrinsic to that person, but how they think about those and present them are part of an ongoing performance for themselves and others. If you're interested in learning more on the subject, I can recommend some excellent books on the subject, or feel free to ask followup questions here or in DMs.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Gender sillies usually just mean not exclusively a man or woman. So non-binary is really just another umbrella term that encompasses gender fluidity, the absence of gender, a mixture of genders, or genders that are separate from male or female. Most gender identities under the enby umbrella are some mix of those or other concepts. I think the term lesbian had a slightly more complex meaning historically but I don't feel qualified to talk about that so I'll go with the wlw definition in which case someone non-binary could be part female such as in a male/female mix or just a demigirl could easily be lesbian.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

it means don't fucking worry about it

unironically, just dont

it's not that big of a deal, some people are just non binary lesbians and we don't need to fuckin care

NB carries its own gender info, lesbian carries its own info on cultural, romantic, and sexual info. it's fine and it fits. Being NB isnt a rule and ppl need to not worry so much about getting enby pronouns wrong or figuring out what's inside the panties they'll never be peelin.

it doesnt fuckin matter, it's the gender of not giving a fuck. enby literally stands for "don't worry about it buddy"

Unless you’re part of their culture, Hasidic Jews are tough to get along with

[-] prole 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I am kind of not big on communities like that (and Amish, as another example). You shouldn't be able to just opt out of the social contract like that, and still benefit from the state's largess. I believe the ultra orthodox in Israel are even exempt from the nation's mandatory conscription.

Has nothing to do with religion or ideology, it's more about fairness imo.
