Maybe so! Always hard to say with the range of opinions I see on the internet these days
How did volunteers who run reddit’s for-profit business for them for free end up equated with landed gentry?
Why are you saying so what? You asked a question and I answered
Being into them is being attracted to them which, on an instinctual level, is wanting to fuck them
Edit: simplified, obviously, you can be attracted to someone in a more emotional way but some would argue that’s still wanting to partner with them in some way
Oh the definition is fine, I just mean that it seems illogical to adhere to it dogmatically.
Like, ok I’ll try to come up with the best summation but bear with me lol. Basically, let’s say you’re with your current partner. You’ve been into other people in the past. So, logically, you’ll probably be into other people - at some level - in the future, right? That seems like a natural development to me.
So if it’s natural, why should we have the little fine print on all of our relationships that reads “If you’re into other people this contract is null and void?”
Am I making sense? Lol. Like I just mean that it’s natural to be attracted, in some way, to more than one person so why do we default to holding ourselves and our partners to the unnatural? In that way, I’m monogamous with one person at a time seems logically inconsistent to me. It accepts the existence of plurality of attraction, yet denies its engagement
I don’t believe that it can’t be done, it obviously can. There’s just this idea that it’s the natural state, or what humans are instinctively given to, and that just seems… incorrect?
Fair enough! Also because of you I learned that yiffit exists!
do honestly believe in true love… it just happens that my personal one is also kind of a slut
I’m happy that I read this sentence in my lifetime
Looking at divorce rates as a bad thing is misleading, imo. A high divorce rate isn’t necessarily bad
Oh absolutely. I don’t mean to moralize or demonize the issue. I just mean that, seeing as how as soon as divorce became socially acceptable it shot up to 50%, I’m not sure how people can view it as unnatural, I guess.
Also your story is very sweet and every bit of what I want one day, so thank you for sharing. You have an interesting perspective
Fair enough have you tried 1.5?
Even then it seems illogical to me tbh (internally inconsistent?), but at least it’s less rigid
Yeah tbh I think people totally misunderstand algorithms. I mean, hot is driven by an algorithm, as are the other sort methods, too, albeit simple algorithms. What we really want to avoid are profit-driven and invasive algorithms. But algorithms to boost discoverability for small communities could be really beneficial
If you want neutral memes you can come over to [email protected]
We’re for memes with humor that’s so bad it’s ironically funny. A bit niche but at least you get a break from politics
Probably due to the relatively small user base, it just isn’t as diverse as some websites. But, even reddit had the issue of the front page being flooded with political posts from one perspective. So as nice as it would be not to, lemmy is probably going to be the same way. It just might highlight a slightly different perspective from reddit
They did surgery on a grape
Do you really? How do you go about proving that kind of thing?
Not to mention employee protection/rights laws that don’t always apply to contractors
Taxi companies tend to be smaller, more locally owned businesses with actual employees instead of “contractors.” Why would we *not side with them?
Edit: missed an important word
You still can. The discourse is because a large chunk of the male population doesn’t understand how to do that without being creeps. Don’t be a creep and women will like being around you
