There’s a reason cities are more liberal. Turns out being surrounded by different cultures, races, sexualities, and beliefs shows you that maybe they’re not so different. In a town of 15k middle American white folks, it’s hard to see another culture equally, let alone at all.

Same thing with college. There’s no such thing as a liberal or democratic college. It’s just that people are simply surrounded by other people. You learn all of those weird rules and things you were taught don’t actually hold up, and that everyone is kind of the same

Coming around and disagreeing with your younger self hits pretty hard

For those rare swifties here on the fediverse we have !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech and a more generic pop music one at !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech .

For Satisfactory fans there is also !satisfactory@lemmy.world

and subbed.

Sounds like it may be time for some creative licensing

No you can’t, and I don’t want to choose where, but if a doctor thinks it’s time, I simply want to make sure that they go and talk to my spouse or family member first, before automatically doing something.

Agreed. There’s also a lot of downsides too, but it’s a step in the right direction

If I’m not dead though, if I’m in a hospital with a 50/50 shot, or in a coma, or in any number of ways where I’m still alive. Not saying I don’t trust doctors, but I want that decision to be my spouse’s, even if I’m on an operating table. They know my wishes, and they will say yes only if they’re satisfied there’s nothing else to be done.

Everyone made fun of onlyfans, I think it should be praised. While it’s definitely not perfect, it’s opened the door for individual sex workers to make their own business, vs joining the notoriously predatory world of porn and sex work. Instead, they make their own rules, set their own boundaries, and except for a 20% cut from the site, they take home everything else. It’s a huge win for them.

The only other thing against it I’ve seen is “they shouldn’t be doing it at all” which is a completely different argument". If they’re going to do porn, I think OF has changed the game.

My only caveat is that I’m not an organ donor, but my wife and family know that they can authorize organ donation on my behalf if it comes to that. I just want someone who knows me personally to make the decision, not just a hospital board who is playing a numbers game. Maybe a bit more selfish, I just want someone in my court who will pause to think about it.

Agree, but I also see how it can never be implemented. For all the good I think it would do, it would immediately be warped to some sort of ethnic cleansing.

Okay I agree marriage at a societal level needs some rearchitecture, but I think you’re holding yourself back applying it to an individual. Every couple has a different marriage. My wife and I are definitely backwards, I fully admit she wears the pants. I’m emotional, she’s fairly stoic. Hell I took her to see Taylor Swift. There are definitely no gender roles for us.

However, I see others who want more traditional roles, I see some that are the same, idk everyone is different. If you find the right person it’s more they just complement you well.

Fully agree. We got married at the courthouse. 30 bucks I think for filing. We’ve always been happy with that.

Wedding we priced out. For only 50 people on the cheap we found it’s be minimum 15k in my area. Fuck that. May have a small thing on an anniversary, but not a wedding

I think that’s the thing. It’s just the security. Buying a house with a decades long mortgage with someone is terrifying, being married shows there’s a commitment there. I’m reading these comments and they’re all like “love is love you shouldn’t be afraid of someone walking away”, but I’ll tell you what we were looking at buying a house while debating on marriage, and I’ll tell you we both relaxed a lot when we decided to get married.

Life throws very long term things at you that it’s very reassuring knowing you have a long term partner to be there, that they were willing to put it on the line for you and say they’re in it for the long haul with you. That if you have a child or get a mortgage or a car or anything they’ll be with you to help.

Yes there’s the legal things there too, and the tax benefits, but for me it’s all about the constant reminder around my finger that I have more than a significant other, more than just a boy/girlfriend, but a lifelong partner.

It truly is hard to describe to people who haven’t been married because we’ll, they’ve never felt it. I certainly didn’t know how it’d feel before.

I would have to be out of a job for a long time with no prospects to consider doing it. It’s so demeaning

{ r, g, b}, hex code, rgb encoded in some stupid format, types are just helpful. I don’t know why people don’t like them. 30 seconds of creating a class for your type saves you hours of debugging later

He’s the assman!

Spot on. We all have our own demons. It’s up to us to overcome them and make a life for ourselves. Life is not fair, some get it better, so e have it worse, but it’s for each of us to conquer ourselves

Life is learning that no one looks out for you, no one is going to swoop in and make it easy. Nobody wants to go to work, but we all do anyway. I’d love to take a year off, but then I’d probably go homeless, so I don’t. I can wish it all I want, but it isn’t going to happen.

So, I could be resentful that others may have it easier, or I can enjoy my days off how I want and put in my time as I go. C’est la vie.

Yeah strong disagree with this meme. 15 years into my career and everything gets a data type.

The only engineers I know who still don’t like strong types are engineers who haven’t lost a weekend due to a stupid type issue. Once you have one or a few of those, you start to like types again.
