    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.

    It's an interesting problem, because I do love a good long read, but sometimes sometimes it's better to not "bury the lede" and just come right out and say the thing.

    I'm digging the Gunns, it's been cool to see them come into their own over the last few months.

    I love Willow Nightingale too!

    And of course Kenny bi-god Omega

    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.

    These babies are also more than welcome to just make accounts over there and spew hate to each other, and yet they're not happy just doing that? How strange.

    edit: sarcasm, if that's not clear.

    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

    It's unfortunate. I got yelled at for saying fascists and Nazis should be deplatformed. Someone literally tried to "whatabout if we did that to LGBT people" me. I'm trying different instances in good faith, but the ones that hold that kind of logic aren't going to last long.

    Oh, sorry to hear about your loss but I'm glad that book helped you through. This poem helped/is helping me through a rough relationship with my dad. Amazing how poems can be so many things for so many people!

    by Tracy K. Smith 3 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.
