@amishescapee Also, the idea that “millennial and Gen Z women long to exist in a harem” isn’t supported by reality. Most people—regardless of gender—want:
-stability
-mutual respect
-autonomy
-emotional safety
-consent-based relationships
@amishescapee DEI policies have nothing to do with women “wanting harems.” DEI is about reducing discrimination in hiring, education, and public life. You can agree or disagree with specific implementations, but it’s not connected to relationship structure or dating behavior.
TIL: 7-Up's original recipe included lithium, which is seen to support mood and mental health
In fact, many of the soft drinks have apothecary origins, and they were marketed for medicinal use
They were still sugar-sweetened beverages, but it highlights how much of a shadow soft drinks today are of their former selves.
