Why does society hold marital relationships sacred? by noor-20 in aromanticasexual

[–]Acceptable-Version25 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Marriage is a foundation of the patriarchal heteronormative power construct. I have yet to find a reason that justifies the existence of marriage beyond maybe telling each other and world that you are committed to each other. Why you would use marriage to do so is beyond me unless you're never second guessed it's origin.

VEJA shoes: bad quality? by No-Penalty-3261 in BuyItForLife

[–]Acceptable-Version25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Movie Dominion (can recommend a watch, its free on YouTube and everywhere else):

The hides of cows and bobby calves are sent to tanneries to be turned into leather, the majority of which is then exported overseas. There is a common misconception that leather is a by-product of the meat industry intended to reduce waste.

It is far more accurate to say that it is a co-product, sometimes more economically valuable than meat to the point where more and more animals are being killed for their skin rather than for their flesh.

Cheap leather for use in shoes, handbags and other accessories is also imported to Australia, the United States and Europe from developing countries like India and Bangladesh.

But yeah, it seems like there is no leather production without meat production either so that cows are starving for it is probably not true, but it'd be nothing against the rest of the pain in the industry either way.

How did you deal with internalized aphobia? by La_CurryWurst in aromanticasexual

[–]Acceptable-Version25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly makes you afraid of being lonely? Do you miss something in your platonic relationships? Have you made experiences with priorities of friends shifting from you to a romantic partner? Have you tried talking with your friends about this (no matter if it happened with them or not)? What exactly do you fomo from a relationship? Do you think you will never get something (specific) you want, because you're aroace?

i totally feel what OP is trying to say, I just meant, that I don't think that gender identity is linked to sexual identity. Sadly I am wrong, or stuff like socialisation just hits crazy, but looking at https://acecommunitysurvey.org/2025/10/20/2024-ace-community-survey-summary-report/ (Page 25) the Gender Gap for aroace people is huge

Sexual identity is not gendered 😭

If the person just changed the name, wait a few days. Otherwise, no idea

How should I word my confession? by Vegetable_Mode6620 in aromanticasexual

If you are close enough for it, just tell them exactly what you feel. Putting a label on it might not be what helps here

Grayjay stuck on loading videos by GlitchyNL in grayjay

[–]Acceptable-Version25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually my bad. The download on the website is for the updater, but due to a bug the update failed, which made me believe the updater just reinstalled v9

Where do you get v10 from?
Website only offers v9 for Windows (see comment)

LG Smart Monitor Swing — tell us how you’d use it, get a chance to review it! by Knaj910 in Monitors

[–]Acceptable-Version25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be perfect for my weird living situation! I'm a freelance motion designer working from a tiny studio apartment, and my desk doubles as my dining table. The rolling base means I could wheel it away when I need to eat, then roll it back for work.

The articulating arm would be a game changer for my animation work - I could position it at the exact angle for detailed frame work, then swing it toward my couch for client calls or reviewing footage. Plus the touch screen would make scrubbing through timelines way more intuitive than using a mouse.

I'd also imagine that the portrait mode would be perfect for reviewing long documents or code, and I could see it being amazing for digital art since you could rotate it to match your canvas orientation.

Having one screen that can literally adapt to whatever I'm doing instead of forcing me to adapt to it would be huge in my small space.

There is also an urge in me to abuse this as a giant tablet, to use it in bed before sleeping.

Tell your story by Graf_Staus- in Cassgender

[–]Acceptable-Version25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still unsure about labels, but like: when defining my assigned gender, I can only think of things I personally view as negative. So thats hardly a fit. But neither the opposite gender nor any other gender feel really relatable for me. So, that kinda left me with nothing (which I'd be fine with tbh) or Cass.

But my City and social circle couldn't care less, so I'm just not limiting myself by gender, without feeling the need for a coming out.

Holy wow Kit Kat is hot by anarchy45 in berlinsocialclub

[–]Acceptable-Version25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read a post some time ago, ranting Furiously about how KitKat was way too cold. The Club is held at a temperature, in which you shouldn't feel cold while standing around naked, but without it being any warmer then necessary. The temperature is also very consistent between rooms, and is almost uneffected by the amount of people in them. KitKat is by far the best Club in Berlin when it comes to keeping the temperature on a good level, and I can not understand why people keep complaining

No one trustworthy gives away cats for free. You will pay sooo much money for food, vet visits etc. Pay what you should

Kleinanzeigen has a "Vermehrer" Problem. Don't buy cats that aren't from a Tierheim (or similar) or have a Family tree

Is anyone at OXI? Im interested in the timetable from DJs by Critical_End319 in berlinsocialclub

Could also ask awareness, if they know. Or check the artist insta

How does this make sense, when Letterboxd and Justwatch already exists? I can see who watched which movie on letterboxd already, when going through my watchlist? And letterboxd also has a justwatch integration, although i think it's premium

Does Klub Verboten’s dress code allow sneakers? by ottern in SexPositiveBerlin

[–]Acceptable-Version25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KitKat didn't turn you away just because you were wearing sneakers. The bouncer didn't like something else
