  • I have been dating non monogamously for something like 15 years now. It’s not without it’s unique challenges, but most of the problems people have with polyamory are actually problems they have with monogamy as well, it’s just easier to avoid dealing with certain things (like relationship insecurity) when monogamy allows people to pretend they aren’t happening or to lionize expressing them negatively (as jealousy, for example).

    In my opinion, even if you decide it’s not for you, exploring non monogamy is very likely going to give you better tools and healthier perspectives than you’d have if you remained “safely” monogamous your entire life.

    Conservative politics hasn’t meant any of that for a very long time. I think you need to find a new term to use if you want to be able to not have to explain this every time you ask for conservative communities to hang around in.

    Also, none of that is necessarily right leaning (anarchy covers very similar ground, but obviously for extremely different reasons), so it doesn’t entirely answer the question of what kind of right leaning you are looking for.

    press your eyes real hard

    You did say this originally in a way that could be concerning. It’s unsurprising that someone would advise caution.

    the mild pressing

    Then you understated yourself in response to someone showing care towards you.

    gently pressing

    In your quest to refuse to graciously accept any kind of good-natured advice, you’ve moved pretty far away from the “press your eyes real hard” that you started with.

    You could have just said “Oh, thanks for the warning, I’ll be careful.” and moved on.


  • Forth of July is a forced special case that we USians have been conditioned into differentiating. Strange shit like that due to nationalism. We don’t do that for most other dates or holidays, though. Like, hardly anyone goes around routinely saying 31st of October to refer to that holiday.

    Maybe the UK equivalent would be the 5th of November. (Or was that just popularized because of V For Vendetta?)

    I suppose I’ve heard the Ides of March plenty, as well.

    I don’t have a singular favorite, but some of the top ones who get me excited just by their casting are (in no particular order):

    • Michelle Yeoh
    • Shohreh Aghdashloo
    • J. K. Simmons
    • Henry Cavill
    • Rosamund Pike
    • Adjoa Andoh
    • Stellan, Alexander, and Bill Skarsgård (really, the whole family is great, but these 3 especially)
    • Anson Mount
    • Charlize Theron

    Could you explain your suggestion that there’s a correlation between one’s subjective awareness of a food item’s nutritional content and it’s objective fitness for human consumption over time? These things seem entirely unrelated to me.
