@thomicks For real. I actively looked forward to every release of Waypoint Radio. Absolutely stellar crew that engaged with video game discussion in ways that no other pod/site is.
corporate profits are the highest in decades, weird how that doesn't factor into the inflation discourse but ordinary people's meager wage increases do

Boomer: But why can't the slackers pay for college & pay off their loans like we did?
@lexiinks @RamonaQuaxli The majority of polyamorous relationships *are* between two people though - not a triad, quad, etc. which you seem to be alluding to.
If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
@AevisXandar @RamonaQuaxli You are correct in that partners donโt have the right to influence your sexual practices/relationship style, but you can still retain your authenticity while being open and honest with them. Intentional obfuscation of the truth is just manipulation. Just sayinโ.
@RamonaQuaxli What's helped me is to shift my mindset into realizing that just because a relationship has ended, doesn't mean that it was a "failure". ALL relationships will eventually end. If everyone involved brought joy and fulfillment to each other's lives, then that 'ship was a success.
@polyamblackgirl Itโs best practice to never vent or complain about one partner to another, as sowing negativity only produces more negativity. If you need to constructively vent, use a third party. Private information that we are privy to should stay private if there is no consent to be shared.
It sucks that after over 2 years of a pandemic and a global uprising against police violence, we're still dealing with the lie that public safety comes from cops, and not from public health, housing, and folks having their needs met. And that the President is promoting this lie.
