No worries comrade, we all crash sometimes (i do at least). Take care ❤️

That i don’t get at all. I really don’t think it’s too much to expect honesty from your significant other. In my world, that’s about the one person where you owe absolute honesty, all other relations yeah lying ain’t THAT big a deal.

Lying to yourself (breaking a diet) i agree is a victimless crime, but lying to others isn’t, as that is at the expense of the person being deceived. Lying to a random ass person is of course much less a deal than lying to your significant other, and in both situations it’s of course also dependant on the thing being lied about. A vegetarian would be very mad about being told a lie that the meal they were being served is vegetarian if it actually contained meat, and rightfully so imo.

In i think that might be getting to the core of it. It might not be a big deal to you, and that’s of course totally okay and your right and just as natural as any other proposition, BUT, failing to recognize that this might be important to the person, and then proceed to lie about that thing just because you yourself don’t think it’s that big a deal, is not okay in my book.

For me, it’s about respecting the internal worldview of the other person, and recognizing that it is just as important as my own. If something is a deal breaker for my partner, i don’t give a rats ass how important I think it is, what’s important is respecting that my partner cares a great deal about it. And if my partner cannot show the same towards me, that’s not a relationship i want to be in. And we do all have the right to say no to a relationship we don’t want, right?

Sounds awful, sorry you had to go through that

Theres probably a bunch more reasons than just transportion culture wars that the us is turning fascist, i would imagine, but yeah that was what i was getting at. Very aware that many places in America only are build for cars.

Which is a damn shame. You shouldnt have yo be forced like that. But u know, money and power, big Industry lobbyism and decades of fearmongering about market regulations and public services, thatl get you a situation like that.

Wasnt trying to be snarky or anything fyi, clarifying because im quite over thinking too much about tone, downside being people sormtime misunderstand my vibes. ✌️

If you care about addicts, advocate for spending money on social services that help these people. Killing (or imprisoning) dealers have no real effect, we have decades of data on this.

You take the bike down to the train station and bring it with you on the train. Caveat: Your country needs to have train lines that are actually usable.

P sure (but not entirely) that thats for when you purposely want to remove the lining, fx for resale, to make it look brand new

Havent personally heard chainmail reccomended tho, mostly heard of steel sponges, chainmail sounds way cooler tho lol

Metal tools also scrape the bottom lining that forms over time off, which is a big no no when cooking with cast iron.

Makes sense, just your wording that confused me

Wooden spoons are better for cooking with cast iron pots and pans, which a blacksmith, being knowledgeable about metal, would be vey aware of.

Just as the it person is way more aware of the pitfalls of smart tech than your average person

Do you actually think its unethical to expect people not to lie? Trying to understand here, very far from my own set of beliefs :)

I dont get it, dont you find zany outcomes fun? Not that theres anything wrong in that just trying to understand :), for me, its like winning in a slot machine + creative problem solving (how do i make this insanity sound somewhat plausible). Lowkey many of my groups most memorable moments arose from embracing a series of audaciously bad or good rolls.

Ah damn its just a Homer joke i way overthunk that

Social punishment isnt inherent to the social relation we call monogamy, thats social norms, a connected but different thing. We can all agree social norms often disparage people, but again different conversation.

And its not ‘a fact’ that people in monogamous relations have consent over the other persons body, in fact, they only have consent over their own. If the other person doesnt want to do monogamy, they are free to pursue that type of relation on their own. Thats their choice, as it is the monogamous persons choice to not stay in a relationship with a partner that doesnt want a monogamous relationship. Insisting they have to be together, irregardles of the wishes of the other person, sounds unproductive and unhealthy to me.

“We treat monogamy as a natural thing” i dont. I recognize societal norms propogate one type of relationship, but that is once again a different conversation than the supposed ethicalness of a specific social dynamic. The dynamic an sich is different from the norms around it.

Dont let your grievences with the system become judgements of the people caught within.

Tulpas are created through rituals. If you are a plural person (assuming that means what some call multiple personality disorder), they arent necessarily created through intention, thus Im not referring to plural people at all.

Additionally, the use of ‘psychosis’ is not clinical, its everyday language slang. Im not actually calling people psychotic, id be calling myself that, as i do practice ritual magick every once in a while

I never called you unethical.

I also find it ironic how you managed to compare monogamy to slavery, and then proceed to call me the unserious one. I dont see how they are comparable at all.

How is a relationship wherein both people agree that, as long as they are together they only have sex with one another, and, if that agreement can no longer be honored, to go their separate ways, be unethical? Thats consent and boundary establishment and free association all the way through…

It’s interesting you say you dont get why people are so obsessed with other people’s genitals, when you seemingly care very much about the supposed unethicalness of other adults consentual sex lives. You’ve somehow managed to flip the very same ideological structure that has allowed poly people to be prosecuted historically, and just pointed that oppressive structure at monogamous folks instead. It’s in essence the very same mechanism just with the details flipped.

I think you should reflect upon that. It’s obvious from your comments that there’s the same sort of mechanism at play as when traditionalists prejudice poly people. It’s a failure to empathize. Some things work best for some people, and that’s okay, let them live in their way, and some other things work best for some other people, and that’s okay too, also let them live in their way.

Plus ritualistically induced psychosis, banger combo must say

Those two things are not the same at all, what a nonsense comparison. By that logic any good idea originating from the faroese islands is void. What is all ideas from america automatically voided by all the horrors going on there?

“Don’t emulate this idea… Why? Well because the people doing it also has non related bad ideas 😎”
