*Christian Nationalists. Actual Christians who follow Jesus aren’t telling you how to live your life, and many of them volunteer to help the less fortunate.
That’s fair. I’m fine with some Christians. Christian Nationalists and their contemporary political crusade can fuck right off. I’m more of a live, and let live guy when it comes to religion.
I don’t understand why society demonizes that (the multiple people thing, not the lack of communication). If that’s what’s best for my partner, who am I to stop them? What does exclusivity even get me besides limiting my jealousy?
If someone needs multiple partners in their life to feel fulfilled, then wonderful, but they just have to make sure that everyone involved is fine with that before they get into the situation.
I need to start by saying that wife and I realize we are fiscally privileged relative status quo and ethically act upon that truth.
We’ve have been much happier since we sold the vast majority of our material possessions. There’s far less for us to worry about and slave to pay for. We’ve far more freedom to act morally and ethically in our choices.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
Because that might require honest, open communication. And result in more satisfying relationships, wherein the parties to the relationships can actually get what they desire. Who wants that? /s. Hmm, is there a polyamory magazine on the Fediverse? I hadn’t looked… dang, I searched, yielded nada. Am I obligated to make one, now? We’re building a whole new social media. Each contributing as they will.
While it’s not my bag I very much believe people should love the way that makes them and all fully consenting members happy, but there’s not a lot of people that want to be part of something like that tbh. The polyamory itself I mean, not the sub. You should totally make a sub if there isn’t one
Because that might require huge, boatloads of cash. And result in more satisfying prostitutes, wherein the parties to the relationships can actually get paid.
It is still called dialing despite no longer being rotary phones, but also, they didn’t end the ability to use rotary phones until like 2005ish. I’ve used one before they ended it and I still have one that I wish I could use! Never know, OP could be like me lol.
Good question, I suppose it varies by company, or maybe country. At any rate I used it in the 90s (and later), so I still would’ve met your telco’s cutoff date! Sounds like you used em too, so evidence that it is possible OP did continues to grow. There’s at least two of us!
Cuz it was part of the estate and I kept it as a momento of my childhood. All the dialing a pain, especially international, so I did not try and use in my home.
Even on modern landlines where you pushed buttons, it was still called dialing. Someone who calls it typing probably only ever called people using a smartphone.
But on modern smartphones, you probably manually enter in the phone number so rarely that they never even learned the word.
The on screen dialpad is displayed the same way as the on screen keyboard so they used the same word.
