Went to the first big artist show I been to since COVID last night with my best friend and danced my heart out and felt really happy! Wore a really over-the-top outfit and felt really good about my gender and my body. 
Thoughts on "evolutionary economics"? Haven't read much about it but it kinda seems some sort of whitewashing off marxism.
whats up with people that think loans are free money? is it just bad math comprehension?
Lotta folks watch movies about cool and hip grifters who outsmart everyone and get away with everything, and start thinking themselves the same. They think they can just get a credit and not return it, "beating the system" like the hip, cool, smart cats they are
you will get downvoted for saying the truth
I started dating a partnered poly guy a while ago when I wasn't in the place for a really serious relationship, but eventually got more stable and developed more serious feelings. I don't consider myself poly but have grown a lot during this relatjonship. Now his girlfriend is increasingly resentful of me and has actively started antagonizing me out of jealousy. She has several other partners and they and my bf get along well, but now says she is into 'parallel poly' and does not want to interact with me at all. This feels very hypocritical/cake-eatery/'rules for thee and not for me'. It puts me in a crappy space because our social circles interlap significantly and it makes my relationship with our bf and shared friends more difficult.
I could use advice finding the appropriate way to share this realization with my bf because I recognize my bias and conflict of interest.
Theoretically if she doesn't get along with you that's fine. Not everyone likes everyone. However she should be cool about it. This seems uncool. It seems like she is resenting the increased amount of his time and space you are occupying. Depending on how everyone is about everything I'd ask your boy to work on it. Then just sitting down and the three of you talking it out. Especially if you are new to poly they owe it to you to help work through issues as they come up.
Maybe instead of c/dating c/nonnormativedatingadvice could exist?
I am excited for the struggle session about if poly is queer
I would say part of 2LGBTQIA*+, but doesn't quite feel queer to me. Still very real struggles and contradictions in the topic.
Did you know that as bigamists aren't allowed entry in the USA?
Planning to Practice Polygamy in the U.S. Makes U.S. Immigrant Visa Applicants Inadmissible. Anyone seeking an immigrant visa (lawful permanent residence or a green card) who plans to come to the U.S. and practice polygamy is considered inadmissible (barred from U.S. entry). (See I.N.A. Section 212(a)(10)(A).)
This of course also has Islamophobic connotations, but not only those.
Especially when you go to poly munches it can feel very middle class. There isn't a particular reason for it to be queer as such but it just isn't part of the cis comp het system. So we would have several very tedious struggle sessions about it for sure.
That is an intresting contradiction. Pretty much every one of our oligarchs is openly polygamous. So in the way of patriarchy polyamory being a feminist alternative to polygamy is frowned upon by society
but it just isn't part of the cis comp het system
Absolutely agree and the middle class thing isn't wrong. Though funny enough before it became more mainstream known many places in which good munches and workshops in my city happened (often under labels somewhat different to polyamory) they were from leftists, sometimes feminist, sometimes autonomous somewhat anarchist groups. So your point about a feminist polyamory which is an alternative to both the official and inofficial polygamy (think Elon Musk or Donald Trump) as well as the patriarchial polyamory which is exclusionary in terms of gender identities in practice does really vibe with me.
it just isn't part of the cis comp het system
Absolutely.
There would of course be challenges brought in in addition to other points that poly means exclusion of neurodivergent people, not only due to sane-ism, but due to the non materialist idea that enough communication and talking about problems does fix them as example.

It is good day to be not dead!
how is this movie sound of freedom? is it worth a watch?
Based on the stuff mentioned in Rebecca Watson's video on it, I'd say it's probably best to skip it. Video: https://youtu.be/avWOnnhjxM4

Sounds like conservative crap.
There's some fuckery going on in Georgia. The one in Caucasus, not the one in yankeeland.

i had mono 2 years ago and ever since then my sleep hasn’t been right, no matter how long or how well i sleep i’ll always wake up extremely tired like i did when i had it
Maybe it was Covid and you got post/long Covid fatigue? https://urgentmednetwork.com/mono-and-covid-whats-the-difference/
i’ve considered that but i didn’t have the antibodies for covid when i checked a little over a year ago and i did test positive for mono and had the enlarged spleen and all of that (i guess covid could maybe cause that though). also it is common to still feel exhausted from mono 6 months after you have it, and while i don’t feel like i do when i have it, it’s definitely altered my sleep going on 2 years now which isn’t heard of though like that article says
Guess who said it...
A self-made legend and American treasure, Jimmy Buffett, will be sorely missed and joyfully celebrated from coast to coast, sea to sea. We crossed paths once in Austin and had many laughs that evening over a few glasses of red. Wish we'd gotten to do it again. RIP, Jimmy. We learned to be cool from you.

I need to do something about my rage. It's getting the best of me, seeping even into my dreams. Have you ever woken up because you were so absurdly pissed off in your dream? I have. It's not healthy. But I don't know what to do about it, seeing how a lot of it is caused by factors beyond my control - i.e. dumbasses in traffic and the ongoing war
<3 i wasn't ever at the level you're describing but i understand what it's like to be a 24/7 fury factory. i really hope you find some measure of peace.
Thanks! Any advice?
i wish. :( i lucked out and found most of my rage dissipated when i started transitioning. i think the things you mentioned are still worth being upset or even angry about, mind you.
idk if this is anything but pre-transition i found some modest success in reminding myself that I wasn't really angry with the individuals, but the systems. "these people suck at driving" became "driving sucks", with the understanding that most people shouldn't be doing it. if they had public transport or functionally laid out societies my issue with them would evaporate. making the target of my ire a little more abstract made it easier to shunt to the background, and not reacting with explosive rage helped break the habit of doing so (as much).
i wish you the best of luck comrade
did US outlaw slavery ever?
not for prisoners
this is true
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
