It’s a clear call to ignore the progressives and vote for establishment Dems.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “Vote Blue no matter who” when it comes to talks about Gavin Newsom

And you’re really going to sit here and say that isn’t propaganda in the slightest?

Welcome! It definitely is quieter in ways here, but I find that actually engaging in conversation is better. There’s more real people here.

But this place also has the downfalls that early Reddit and 4chan had. Still better than current Reddit by miles!

Hey thanks for the info! This was really helpful

It’s easier to use than Lemmy. Lemmy was the first I heard about in this whole set up and the first I tried out. Not too hard to pick up on, but I understand why the average Redditor may feel it’s more difficult to get in to.

I need to poke around Piefed more apparently.

Nature walks this weekend with my kid! The rain is going to break and we’re gonna look at all the new spring blooms coming up :)

Is Alexandrite for piefed? I’ve been enjoying voyager, but am curious about exploring piefed more.

It’s a big ole boys club over here and it’s clear where they want to draw lines.

Reddit is much easier to use and has such a larger user base that one can tailor their experience to align much closer to their own interests. There’s not quite enough people on piefed and Lemmy to have that same experience.

There were starter packs when I made an account on Lemmy.today

That’s the deciding factor for me.

I stopped listening to Lizzo so fucking fast because her actions and her art were in direct contradiction with each other.

Being innappropriate with children will also make me stop consuming media from that person.

I was in and out of the hospital at least once a month for many years before doctors finally diagnosed me. Achiness, exhaustion, open sores in my mouth and my genitals and the pain was so bad I couldn’t eat or walk. Like clockwork, those sores would heal and then two weeks later more would erupt. I had to drop out of college because I wasn’t well enough to sit in class.

Behcet’s Disease. A very rare autoimmune disease that presents as inflammation in small to medium arteries and can strike anywhere in the body.

I was very bitter for a long time - I was accused of being a slut, I was treated for syphilis and herpes even when I tested negative for all STIs, I was not believed about my symptoms for years and years. It sucked.

I don’t care.

Adding to your comments while we’re actively communicating back and forth is rude. I cannot reply to the new info you’re shoving in there because you’re editing after I’ve already seen your comment.

This is a common internet courtesy. I suggest you reply in a new comment rather than edit if you have more to say in a conversation.

You did not ask a single question in the comment above:

Yes they are. And your refusal to admit men can feel fear about women is amazingly sexist. Sounds like you think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man.

I’ve got an amazing piece of news for you. Not all men are a monolith. Just because the only men you’ve had in your life suck doesn’t mean all men suck.

That’s like saying I ate rotten bread. Thus all bread is rotten.

Late 30s. First poked around lemmy with the Reddit API changes, fully switched over after I was banned for an anti-Israel comment.

It depends on your community. My friend group knows we’re kind of open. My parents and family don’t know anything about our sex life. It just depends.

We use these terms for relationships within the kink and poly communities to signal to each other what our relationship statuses are. It’s not for the average person one runs into on the street.

I honestly just searched for it because I have never heard the term polysexual applied in this way. I also wasn’t trying to imply that polyamorous people engage in one night stands and casual sex, either, but you read into that as well.

I’m bisexual, I’ve been involved in the kink, poly, and LGBT+ community in my area for a long time. I wasn’t trying to “no homo” anything, I just prefer using the term monogamish to describe my current relationship because that describes it really well:

First coined by legendary sex columnist Dan Savage, “monogamish” refers to a relationship style wherein mostly monogamous couples choose to have extra-relational sexual experiences, often sparingly and with strict boundaries that only allow for non-monogamous activity under very specific circumstances.

polysexual

Polysexual individuals are those who are attracted to people of multiple genders. Notably, the prefix “poly” means many.

People who identify as polysexual often use that word because it suggests a greater variety of sexual orientations than traditional gender binaries of male and female, or hetero- and homosexual. Each person will have their own specific preferences when it comes to who they are attracted to.

Isn’t that an attraction to all genders? Why are you so hellbent on defining my relationship boundaries?

I don’t think our situation falls into poly-sexual since it’s usually one night stand type of situations though.

Monogamish fits my relationship and it’s been a term in use for decades at this point.

I’ve had a lot of success on feeld, both as a unicorn AND a unicorn “hunter”.

Damn, deep fried snickers sounds so good!

Hah while I’ve been lucky enough to have had drinks at the Unicorn, I didn’t pick anyone up there! Mostly have met people through Feeld or friends of friends tbh.
