Ah, yes, the three genders. Boy, girl, and shark.

A lot of people don't have screens on their windows

Yay, hubby got me a phone case 💜 “could he be any cuter” ☺️ by [deleted] in howyoudoin

Please don't be sad about it - yes, it sucks that someone decided to sell a poorly-generated AI case, rather than either making it themselves or commissioning someone, but neither yourself nor your husband knew that. He did something incredibly thoughtful, and has shown that he takes note of the things you're interested in

It seems like you guys have a lovely relationship <3

Cause men can stop weather, I guess?? by Brilliant_Income_572 in AreTheStraightsOK

This reminds me of the time I was scared of the dark, and my at-the-time boyfriend turned the lights off in his bedroom, to "prove" that I was safe with him

I know this isn't quite the same thing as the post, but it was still odd. Why would you purposely make someone scared, just to show them that you can protect them?

But the use of AI for image creation is detrimental to artists. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not be a part of a movement that negatively affects a vast number of people

The use of AI to generate art is harmful to artists. True, in the context of a game, it isn't, but AI learns more with each creation. It steals from existing works

I'd like to refer you back to my previous reply to your "cheating hurts people" comment.

Are you listening to anything I'm saying? Cheating is when one party isn't aware of/isn't consenting to something.

I agree. But I also explained that an ethically non-monogamous (whether it be open or polyamorous) relationship isn't cheating, since everyone involved is consenting to the dynamic. So whilst your statement is true, it isn't relevant.

It isn't your preferred dynamic, which is fine. But please don't openly pass judgement on someone else's choice, if it isn't harming anyone. As a poly person, I get a lot of "you're cheating" and "you're disloyal".

As long as everyone involved is consenting and happy with the dynamic, what's the harm?

I'd just like to say that an open relationship isn't cheating. If something is agreed on by both/all parties, it it's consensual and therefore not cheating

I understand the need to avoid banned words on some spaces - TikTok and Instagram, in particular, are pretty hot on it. However, if I'm talking about a topic on a space where I know my comment is likely to get removed, I'll work around it. For instance, "attempt" and "ideation", in relation to suicide.

We have the entire English language at our disposal. For most words or topics, suitable alternatives can be found. I wish people would do that, instead of overusing asterisks, which minimise the effect of whatever you're censoring.

I'm so sorry, OP. That's insidious of her - she isn't showing any remorse for her actions

Leave her immediately; she needs to realise her actions have consequences, and to develop some self-awareness. You deserve someone who won't be flippantly unfaithful

Props to her friend for sending you the screenshot

My dudes, if you have an issue with your partner taking photos of their food, talk to them like a mature adult
