I'm usually all for fediverse folks shitting on big corporate social media platforms, they definitely all deserve it. But unless I'm mistaken, and I very well might be, TT seems like it gets wayyyy more vitriol than the other big bads. Hopefully that's not for "old man yells at cloud" type reasons.
Anyway, definitely looking forward to Loops when it's ready!!
I'll have to take your word for it, but I have my doubts! Regardless, I feel like it's better to focus on whether you are doing or have done bad things, than to worry about whether you're an inherently bad person. You can always work to do better in the future, and to make amends.
No, absolutely not. At least, certainly none of my own, even if I were capable of it... I don't really see the point in procreating with the world on such a catastrophic trajectory. On the other hand, if I find myself in a situation where I have a home and resources to share, and some unfortunate already-existing kids need those things, I'd certainly offer them a place. That would be just as true for non-kids though, so I dunno how much of a "parent" that'd really make me.
I came to say the same thing about Camellia sinensis, thinking "am I about to be more of a tea purist than is even encapsulated in this chart?" So I'm glad somebody else got there first lol
Me as a vampire and also Marvel's The Thing: "It's hemogobblin' time!"
Mostly I'm onboard with what you're saying here. Although, like others have said, don't forget there's plenty of people on OF who aren't women! If there is any problem at all, why isn't it also a problem for them? Second, I definitely wonder how many of the opinions in this thread are coming from other women who've done sex work. Those are mostly the only people I wanna hear from on this topic.
As far as the "fakeness" not working for you personally, I might have some good news for you. While of course capitalism does tend to suck all of the joy out of everything, like all professions, there are sex workers who definitely do enjoy their work. At least as much as anyone can feasibly enjoy working under capitalism anyway.
You'd be surprised, attractiveness is subjective!
I was saying the same thing as you a while ago and somebody told me that I'd be surprised and that attractiveness is subjective. And you know what? They were right!
An old PS1 fighting game called Unholy War. It had a lot of really unique mechanics I haven't seen since.
My boss would be really mad if I tried to not come in for that long
Lowe Mill in Huntsville, Alabama. It's like a giant collaborative art space in an old factory building. Pretty much the most anarchist space I've ever been to, although that's a very low bar for me.
It's been great honestly. I've got two boyfriends I love very much. While it's not all sunshine and roses all the time, they're the only people in my life who I feel like truly have my back, and I have theirs. Of course that's not something that's unique or inherent to romance, you could have the same thing with friends, family, etc. Just worked out that way for me.
It's been ages since I actually worked on any, but way back I got reasonably deep into Lojban
