Polyamory rule - helpful infographic
  • Human psychology doesn't have a standard.

    Monogamy is just one of a wide range of social arrangements that have existed all throughout human history, and continue to exist.

    see: distribution of monogamy

    Personally, I've been in multiple partner relationships. Are they perfect? No, absolutely not. But neither were some of the monogamous relationships I've been in.

    I think the comic is a little off too, and I agree with you about how it portrays cheating, but it doesn't make sense to shit on all forms of relationship that you don't agree with.

  • Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time, I think that just unlocked a core memory for me. While I didn't use del.icio.us heavily, I did feel like there was something super useful about it. In a way it felt way more web 2.0 than Facebook ever did, a true utility.

  • Bad analogy, it's not one planet, this is like Super Mario Galaxy. We have a planet with little bars (communities), they have a planet with their shitty racist bars. It's not building a wall, it's cutting them out of our orbit.

  • I vote defedederation. This is a clear instance of "nip it in the bud". Additionally, drafting a clear code of what the terms of defedederation will entail in the future will help both users and mods. We're still new in this whole fediverse learning experience, so it's understandable that there will be challenges like this, but I personally will feel most comfortable in instances which are willing to take strong stances against bigotry and hate speech.

  • How do you define that?

    They literally included it in the second part of the sentence you left out

    to include rampant bigotry, racism, sexism, calls to violence.

    Or, what about the protests / riots in France over pensions? Or the convoy protests in Ottawa, Canada?

    You're literally "whatabouting" this, no need put strawmen in here

  • From "My God, It's Full of Stars"

    Perhaps the great error is believing we’re alone,

    That the others have come and gone—a momentary blip—

    When all along, space might be choc-full of traffic,

    Bursting at the seams with energy we neither feel

    Nor see, flush against us, living, dying, deciding,

    Setting solid feet down on planets everywhere,

    Bowing to the great stars that command, pitching stones

    At whatever are their moons. They live wondering

    If they are the only ones, knowing only the wish to know,

    And the great black distance they—we—flicker in.

    Maybe the dead know, their eyes widening at last,

    Seeing the high beams of a million galaxies flick on

    At twilight. Hearing the engines flare, the horns

    Not letting up, the frenzy of being. I want to be

    One notch below bedlam, like a radio without a dial.

    Wide open, so everything floods in at once.

    And sealed tight, so nothing escapes. Not even time,

    Which should curl in on itself and loop around like smoke.

    So that I might be sitting now beside my father

    As he raises a lit match to the bowl of his pipe

    For the first time in the winter of 1959.

    Sooo... are we doing emojis here or nah 🤔

    I don't care either way, but I always thought it was funny how reddit was so vehemently anti-emoji
