I’d still be using Ubuntu sometimes if it weren’t for the snaps thing. They only make sense for proprietary software… but snaps still suck. I don’t like packaged software. They contain all kinds of things that can’t be updated. The app store was getting better before all that changed. Now Debian seems better, but I still prefer source based distros like Gentoo because the ingredients come with recipes.
That may be true but vetoing something new and killing ACA are completely different things. Biden wanted to expand on the ACA instead because it would have been able to cover 97% of Americans. So it’s not like Biden was against universal healthcare. On the other hand Republicans are well on their way to kill any hope of universal healthcare and social security. At least with Biden/Harris we would have had one or the other. My mother was saved by Obamacare because she couldn’t get health care with her preexisting conditions.
What are you talking about my dude Trump literally gutted Title X, Medicaid and ACA/Obamacare which is literally closest thing we had to universal healthcare. We need to take some lessons from California there.
Only records trump is breaking are assassination attempts and impeachments.
They’re all vicious assholes that get irritated by the most mundane things so I’m gonna expect them to sting me and they have for no reason that I could tell… Also these look like yellow jackets, which are particularly annoying but not as annoying as the 4 species of hornets battling for territory around my old house. I think bumblebees are cute though they will boop you and not try to kill you.
Support matrix!! It already has international support, just needs to be a bit better with stickers and qol stuff. I’ve been using it for years. It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about my privacy at all with chat rooms that can continue on without the original server.
It’s not actually possible to return one of these cyber trucks due to rules involving sale after purchase.
One thing I appreciate about polyamory is that you learn to love on new ways from different people. It can really improve the way you show appreciation for existing partners. The different perspectives, tastes in music, hobbies etc open up a whole world to me that would be otherwise unavailable.
There is so much more but I don’t want to write a wall of text lol
When it rains it pours. I’m sorry that you had a rough time. Breakups do tend to cause some fallout and that’s not uncommon.
A good way to insulate yourself is to date outside the polycule whenever possible and avoid dating people’s support structures (friends/family). Set some realistic boundaries for yourself. For example, I know sharing multiple partners with the same person is hard for me so I choose not to do that.
I think there are a lot more younger inexperienced people trying various types of polyamory. Probably leads to a lot of mistakes and bad taste in people’s mouths… I’ve found that most people under 25 don’t really know what they want. I’ve also noticed that younger generations tend to be partnered super early in school and don’t really know how to be alone. Even to the point of taking fake relationships just because that’s what everyone else is doing.
There are always gonna be shitty people, monogamy or no. Some people take advantage of polyamory as an excuse to ignore ethical responsibility. I always preface that I practice relationship anarchy that looks a lot like ethical polyamory (even though polyamory is already supposed to be ENM).
People seem to think that polyamorous people are always available. One of my partners has this problem but I personally enjoy watching them rip ignorant people a new asshole.
I feel like the wide and often free availability of narcan and improved quality of safer drugs like weed are making a difference.
I’m sorry that you had a rough time. It’s okay to feel jealousy and it can be a great tool of change when you are feeling unfairly treated. Sometimes it’s really hard to walk away. I spent six months in therapy trying to work up the courage one time. Going forward, you’ll be able to make more informed decisions about what is right for you.
There are a lot of ways to do polyamory. It takes two to define a relationship together. I’m a big fan of RA and ethical polyamory. With the right communication, everyone can get what they want and be a primary partner. I go out of my way to make sure I’m meeting the needs of the people I love.
I imagine you could cut as many corners as you like but eventually somebody is gonna want pineapple lol
I usually try to date outside the polycule but I can’t keep up with everybody and it is really funny when this happens. It can be truly small world sometimes.
Sorry to revive old thread, but there’s people here who want to talk and wanted you to know that. I’m sorry your first experience with polyamory was not a good one (or maybe it is now idk).
+1 for decentralized or federalized services gonna plug matrix here I’ve used it for 5 years avoid using matrix.org homeserver
I added whisper and have never looked back. Sometimes it’s not exactly right but it’s usually obvious and funny 🤣
I’ve been really enjoying prodigy and wow season 2 really kicked it up a notch! Loving all the Janeway action. Lots of good Voyager characters too.
There’s no way a judge is gonna allow this. Outrageous. The language is way out of scope.
Technically all certificates are pinned, especially with public CAs, most OS package the latest CA certs which will all go out of style within 10 years or so. You can see this by loading up any old distro or defunct version of windows.
