It changed my view on how true to their ideas some people are.
@jatone Every video and every model will be overly simplistic when applied to any reality. Every abstraction is a leaky abstraction.
@rocci I want this as a poll format option in the Fediverse.
@tilefan That’s weird, it’s not that I’m purposefully get rid of addictions, I just kinda… lose interest.
I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I also used to drink a lot. I don’t mind a cigarette or a beer or a shot every now and then, if the mood is right and the company is fine, but doing it every single day? Nah.
@CyberTailor @deadsuperhero Yep. That’s where we basically (the RuFedi) gather regularly every two weeks to express ourselves via the mic and video. We tell stories, discuss news, show our work, and announce projects.
The point of the show, it MUST be done as a live stream (no post-production unless absolutely necessary), regularly, with AT LEAST TWO people (no matter who) leading the show. The episode MUST happen, come Hell or high water.
The stake? The show itself.
If there’s only one person, or everybody skips the episode entirely, then the episode didn’t happen, and the show is over.
We’ve been doing this for 2,5 years already, thanks to @th3rdsergeevich and other folks. It’s been great.
@Violett_Queen I don’t think it’s already the case and we already generally do just do whatever we want, but are afraid to admit it to ourselves.
Also, are you talking about *gamy or *amory?
There’s distinction.
Polygamy is about just sex pretty much. Polyamory is about romantic relationships.
If the former, then, a lot of married people have sex outside marriage. It’s debatable how honest this is, most of it just cheating - but that already counts as polygamy.
If the latter… Unfortunately, we’re ways off universally recognizing this type of relationship. For shame.
There’s also the factor of polyamorous relationships being harder to maintain, requiring a lot more work to do properly. Despite what conservatives might say, this type of relationship demands MORE responsibility from all involved, not less. So, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and probably monoamory will be the default in most of the cases. But if you are willing and able pull it off, there’s nothing quite like it.
@Crabhands Exactly. And that’s most of them.
@wildcardology argues that “all the definitions are in the dictionary”.
True. But then it comes down to “who writes the dictionary”, so it’s just kicking the can down the road.
@pinkdrunkenelephants Solipsism? What?
Do you even understand what I’m trying to say?
@pinkdrunkenelephants Okay, whatever, looks like you don’t want to think about it, which is also fine, it’s kinda tough question.
@pinkdrunkenelephants Look, I commend and admire the power of thought-terminating cliches, they are useful (and this is part of my point as well), but still, I’d like an honest an answer:
Where Do You Think The Root Of All Authority Is?
I have my answer (or at least what I think describes the answer the best), but I’d like to hear from you.
@pinkdrunkenelephants Soo… Ultimately, it’s *you*, right? Or is there another answer?
@pinkdrunkenelephants No, no…
The dictionary is the source of authority for YOU.
What’s the source of authority for the dictionary? Where’s the root of all authority? Whom will you trust with this job?
@pinkdrunkenelephants
> authoritative
Fine. What is the source of this authority?
@UltraGiGaGigantic It’s the only way to fight, though.
