There should be a contest which region / country / city lights up the most.

Probabl Edit: lol

How does a global spending shutdown work for those outside the US? just not buy US stuff?

I think comparing gender or sexual orientation to a disability is also not the way to go. Its a very different experience with very different challenges in our current society.

If what you say is true about not being anti queer, I think you should try to refelct the way you view and talk about queer people. The reactiona to ypur comments are so big/aggressive because the rhetoric you use is very similar to the rhetoric many bigots use when talking about queer folks. So even if you mean it differently, from our perspective it really looks the same / similar.

good that you know better than the people that write psychatric / psychological guidelines for professionals. they actually removed the classification as a mental disorder based on more uptodate research and the current scientific consensus. its sad to see people not only repeating this transphobic talking point but people on Lemmy also upvoting it.

To me this person sounds like they have too many big projects at once. I wish them success tho

As with every scam, the target are those that get most easily fooled.

He most likely will only join via video call.

Also its very unlikely for him to get arrested in Germany

The biggest news / media company in Germany (anf maybe europe?), *Axel Springer, *also invited this nazi and his nazi friends from the AfD to their yearly economic event in Berljn next week: https://www.axelspringer.com/de/ax-press-release/vor-der-bundestagswahl-politiker-und-wirtschafts-lenker-treffen-sich-zum-dialog-beim-16-welt-wirtschaftsgipfel

I feel like you are being unfair to Swiss. You slow down the speed at which your relationship progresses for the sake of a person that has no stakes in it. And now you alloe Cheddar to do the same. I think both of you give each other way to much power and weight in your relationship progress. If I put myself in Swiss or Gouda position I would also be hurt.

I once was in the situation where my partners new relationship resulted in so much jealousy. I think part of it was due to my partners actions, but mostly it was due to my own insecurities which I did not examine close enough before commiting to polyamory. This resulted in a similar situation where I wanted to feel like I had control and I did that by trying to control their relationship, which did not end well. Instead I should have reminded myself of my boundaries and examined me they where crossed (they were sometimes), should have asked for adherence to our agreements(sometimes they were broken) and should have asked for reassurance way more often(I kinda never did, I felt like a failed poly person for doing it).

Just as others suggested talking about this with Cheddar is the way to go. I would also suggest you talk with Swiss about the constraints you put on your relationship and why.

Its not a garbage take. They had the chance before and didnt, why would anyone trust them to do it this time?

To me it seems like you have a really strong image of what you actually want. Because all your questions and concerns focus on things that sound more like life partners. Poly also allows for other types of romantic and/or sexual relationships. Would you be open to that?

I judge people on plenty of things that are legal. You probably do it too

Hey I read your other posts and I agree with the cult thing. I would suggest you try to check for signs. Best of luck and please try stop engaging in sexual relationships with your partners mothers, fathers, siblings and other relatives.

I dont really pay for that stuff, but I always love to tell my loved ones about the newest and shiniest streaming website for movies, series or anime :) (Please remember to use adblockers for those!)

Bitwarden is also perfect to share the account details for all the other services securely!

I think you should try to seperate your relationship issues from the question if poly is something you want / can do.

About poly, maybe answering some questions might help:

• How do you feel about your partners having other romantic and/or sexual partners themselves?

• In an ideal situation, would you actually prefer poly or monogamous relationships?

• Have you considered or read about other non monogamous relationship structures?

Because it is essentially a prison, a place to control you while seperating you from the general population.

Also I am sorry that happened to you.

Our endgame includes everyone.

That sentence is fire

If you have no self control then you do not respect boundaries.

Like who needs self control for that? Isnt it just the most basic thing to be careful and mindful with the people you love or care about?

Maybe we have different perspectives on what self control means for us, but instead of exploring that you tell me I dont respect boundaries. Seems like we will not reach an understanding.
