the people below make good points, but my main thing was being a furry doesn't have to be inherently sexual. could be you just think anthropomorphic animals are cool in a platonic way and are still disgusted by the idea of fucking an animal. I mean, it's not like furry-cons are big orgies right? why wouldn't they be if it was really just a sex thing
it's certainly not the norm to call parents by thier first names in a loving way, but there's no reason it has to stay that way. Most people don't use nicknames for their best friends, siblings, some people even use first names with their spouses, and that doesn't mean these people are loved any less. using first names isn't inherently distant/cold.
but at the end of the day honestly I think what you call your loved ones isn't that important so if you're more comfortable using mom/dad, that's ok too
I'm not sure how to see, but I've blocked every non-english, sports, and state/town/city community that I've come across. I kinda wishcommunities had tags for stuff like that, cause theres a lot of languages, sports, and places to block out there
i don't think it's fair to lump furries and zoophiles in the same group. there's a pretty big difference between dressing up as a cartoon fox and wanting to f*ck the family pet imo.
I've heard the single most important purchase incredibly low income people can make is a phone, because without it they can't apply to new jobs or network with people because all applications are done online these days
yeah honestly if Linux ever goes mainstream it will probably be some monkeys paw bullshit where some corpo makes a non-Foss data hungry distro or something and it's barely batter than windows or osx
While that may be true, I don't think understanding that companies are evil is enough to convince anyone to care about privacy. I've known corporations are evil for well over a decade but I only started caring about privacy at all a few weeks ago. the issue is that privacy feels so unnatainable to average people that it may as well be a myth. how can you even think about if your internet history is private when you don't even know how to access internet history yourself? even if you do, it's not like these companies gossip to your friends about your mundane secrets anyway, it's just some faceless entity filing it away somewhere to probably be forgotten. that's the perception I had at least, and I know I wasn't the only one. what really changed my mind about privacy was being immersed in a community of people that cared about privacy and took time to show that it can be achievable and even convenient both to understand the forces and technologies at play and to actually live a more privacy focused life.
