Hormones are one helluva drug xD
I hope you're doing well now. As a someone who was sexually assaulted a few times growing up, I know that it can be difficult to shake.
I know plenty of Christian girls that didn't make it to 20 before getting knocked up, so I don't know if its just Mexicans lmao
Lots of shotgun weddings!
In all seriousness, that must have been super uncomfortable.
Its crazy how social pressures inform our perspective. I had the same thing happen to me, but I was raised as a dude.
I was ecstatic that girls were into me, and was happy for the attention.
It wasn't until I was older that I realized how absolutely fucked it was that girls waaaay older than me were sending me nudes,
and girls younger than me who didn't even know my name yet were doing the same.
Somehow I never sent a single pic, unless it was my cat. I loved my cat.
I switched to startpage for this very reason, and it was better for a while! Now its not as good and I'm thinking of going Duck. Idk man, someone needs to reinvent old Google's search alg.
I'm going to be honest; either I read the comment wrong, or they edited it after the fact. Based on the edit-pencil, it looks like they edited their comment :/
As someone who is doing a massive research project on the Maya peoples right now, that civilization was technologically way ahead of the game! They had toilets with a sewage system, clean aqueducts and water purification measures, and ball sports a thousand years before the colonizers that fucked em up. A THOUSAND YEARS.
You're making a sweeping general statement.
Polygamy is just Polyamory taken to vows.
There is a problem with a lot of the people that practice polygamy in an unethical way, but not polygamy itself.
This. When I was poly my friends and fam were cool with it, but they're not religious. Every religious person I knew who found out was not too pleased with me.
If you have one guy draw the knife over a long surface and distance, the other two can use that one slicing motion to cut the apples any number of times.
You both are making such massive assumptions about the other, with these grand sweeping accusations, that I can't tell if this is satire.
I lived through George Bush, and then Obama. Yeah, we fought a war. The US was at war before either Bush took the reins, and we were still at war after Obama left office. Yeah, hundreds of thousands of innocents died. Shits no different today. We just had a guy assassinated for profiting off the deaths of hundreds of thousands of US citizens by denying care they were entitled to. No different than the war profiteering of yore or today, but far more impactful on the actual lives of most here in the USA I'd wager.
Evil people exist fucking everywhere, take a gander at your local sex offender registry. Usually has a map.
"Most degenerate generation"? Come on, if they're too young to remember Bush they haven't even had enough time to make a difference. All the shit you see in the world is two generations removed from them. Look at every person in high government; nearly all of them are over 50 years old. Last time I checked, the oldest gen Z person is half that in age.
Neither of you are making adult arguments, and are reducing yourselves to insults to feign a superior argument. Ya know, the same tactics kids at recess use.
Are you really using the same arguments as big coal?
"You, the consumer, are the problem. Not us, no", like consumers are killing the chocolate farmers. No, the people killing the chocolate farmers are killing the chocolate farmers. If you drive a car in the USA, you aren't responsible for the 100 million tons of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere, or the millions of gallons of crude oil spilled into the ocean— companies like Exon and Shell are. You merely live in a country where automobile companies lobbied hard for cities to be built dependent on cars.
You had no say in that, just like you have no say in what produce is at your supermarket, or what baby formula, or what your kids favorite drink is going to be.
That's like saying, "if you eat bannanas you endorse the murder and rape of south americans and the colonization of hawaii". Shits just not true.
I think someone else already posted the information above about hosting your own account on a private server, so I won't double dip there. But yeah, you totally could host your own server with accounts :)
Bluesky is built on an open, decentralized protocol. There are appications that allow the AT protocol to federate with Mastodon, even. So yeah, move to Bluesky. Its not like Mastodon isn't also a private company.
Literally anyone could build apps on top of the AT protocol to create a parallel Fediverse to the ActivityPub protocol Fediverse. Best case scenario is we fold them in.
