It's dangerule to go alone

I know of one decent way to do that 🏴☠️
gex without dominating? 🥺
We still have jokes and common knowledge about being sent to the psych ward if you reveal anything weird about your mind. I've heard stories only a few years old of doctors refusing to refer trans patients to gender clinics, which quite often means either needing to circumvent the system or death. Only last year I had the revelation that doctors are supposed to help me, not just tell me what I must do.
Being with my girlfriend can get me in the mood for sex, but otherwise I'm indifferent. My sex drive's a lot lower than it used to be and that's been a good thing for me because before it just felt like a bodily obligation and gross.
When I do have sex, it's mostly just for the emotional experience with another person. The physical pleasure is pleasant too I guess, but alone it's kinda boring. I just like seeing them happy :)
Took me a while to accept the label, given I do technically enjoy sex. Eventually I realized demi matches my experience decently well.
RST!!!
Long bacon when girl :D
I have public transit near me that's "approximately every 15 minutes" but they just show up and leave whenever they like and I guess it averages to 15min(?). It's awful.
Barber shop wanted my phone number. Took over a minute to convince them no.
Capitalists found a way to exploit artists even harder, so that now they don't even need to pay them.
I don't think people would care quite as much if gen AI merely existed (I'm sure many would still dislike it, but just for being soulless). But it doesn't just do that, it also destroys artists' livelihoods and prevalence of their art using their own work. I don't really care if it's technically theft or not, it's doing bad for society regardless.
The way I see it in myself is this: it's very similar to friendships. I have stronger and weaker friendships, and those constantly change, but there's not a hierarchy of friendships. And being friends with one person shouldn't mean I'm not allowed to be friends with another, nor vice versa.
shouts POLYAMORY!! :D

Don't make perfection the enemy of progress
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I've seen many people take absolutists stances and throw accusations or insults at others who don't. While I applaud that they recognized serious problems, I want everyone to understand why I might take actions that seem to ignore or even worsen those problems: I only have so much power and so many options, none of which are ideal, so I do the best I can with what I have. I might prioritize stopping one bad thing over stopping another; that's not me excusing the other bad thing, that's me playing the cards I have to get the least bad outcome.
Personally, I base my moral decisions on expected outcomes. I would pull the lever in the trolley problem. I understand some people think me a monster for that, and I certainly wouldn't feel good pulling it, but I see it as me net saving people. I disagree with people that wouldn't pull it, but I see where they're coming from and I'm not mad at them (disappointed, maybe). Of course, as well as pulling the lever, there may be options to try helping the one person on the tracks, and we should definitely attempt such a rescue.
This whole topic can be applied to the do-i-vote-for-biden thing that this community seems divided over, but it's much more broadly applicable too.
Anyway, this is just me saying that I don't think the absolutist all-or-nothing approach some people take is a good idea, and I also don't like when some of them call me a bad person for not doing the same.

Both rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Two (presumably) girls lying in bed holding hands and looking at each other. The one on the left, labeled "Me" has shoulder-length hair, an uncomfortable :| expression, and is wearing a black hoodie, grey jeans, and sneakers. The one on the right, labeled "Also me" has longer hair, a subtle smile, a blush, and is wearing a dress and high heels.
Edited from this post, on which I commented "I wanna be both".
