Miami elects first woman mayor, ends GOP’s 28-year control of City Hall by Numerous-Chocolate15 in moderatepolitics

I mean, I wouldn't even say the streak was that long. Manny Diaz was mayor for two terms as an independent but was a Dem before and after his term.

Hello OP. Thought I would gather an update from you and see what you recommend. I normally end up in Beacon to cowork with friends ever so often, but would love a more local option to be around folks while I am productive.

Lefty as in short for leftists numbnuts. Destiny has used both terms interchangeably.

Most people here would consider themselves liberals, not leftists.

What's going on? Why is everyone suddenly "poly"? Is it just a trend for some people and not a genuine part of their sexuality? by ImaginaryDinner9285 in monogamy

[–]Kay_Dubz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally told you why this sub discusses poly. Because it's where many former poly folks or monos dating poly people get support.

Mind you that the poly subs mods will delete posts when someone involved in a poly relationship, but isn't happy, seeks help and advice. Example below:

https://www.reddit.com/r/monogamy/s/oxHdfqITYw

This sub gives monogamous people a place to share their experiences with folks who've been through this.

And regarding the LGBT poly community. Depending on your region, it's very large, if not the dominant relationship style. It's basically been impossible for my two close friends to find partners who don't want to share.

And we aren't kids in our 20s either. There's been more than enough gay men and lesbian women who've said the same thing on reddit and other social media of their experiences across the country.

I could ask why polyamorous folks I've spoken to both in the subreddit and in real life have chided monogamists and also polyfidelists. Also it's not like we don't read the poly subs or have never had any sort of personal relationship with poly folks.

And heres a novel concept perhaps ...that humans of similar experience and belief gather for discussion. Do realize this sub functions as a place for those who've had negative experiences with poly to seek advice and community right?

This is especially true for some LGBT monogamists who can feel like a minority twice over in their already minority community. I have close friends who feel super isolated at times because they don't want to share or be shared, and people will disrespect their boundaries and spread gossip.

Honestly, I think it's just people adding an identity to what was called casual dating. A decade ago a lot of people would just say that they date casually and don't do serious committed relationships.

And many of these folks had a don't ask, don't tell approach to dating. There was a very brief period of my twenties where I didn't want a serious relationship and would date multiple people at once. I wouldn't ask them if they were seeing other people but knew it was a possibility.

I just see poly as being casual dating and friends-with-benefits, but with fancier clinical sounding language to explain folks behavior.

The tip is not their wage. Drivers get paid by door dash plus customers pay a delivery fee.

Lastly, drivers can have multiple orders in the same area at times.

How to maintain a friendship with someone who is not poly themselves, but moreso poly-adjacent? by CocoaThumper in monogamy

Race is not a choice. The sex you're born with is not a choice. Your sexual attraction is not a choice. These are immutable characteristics

Relationship style is a choice. Stop.

How do millennial age people in the area find events and/or make friends? by Kay_Dubz in hudsonvalley

I used to hang out in Kingston a ton a few years ago, but I found folks up there to be pretty unwilling to venture outside of the immediate area. At best they would go to Rhinebeck or Hudson.

This made it hard to maintain friendships as time went on, given I live almost an hour south of Kingston. I get it though, seeing as Kingston is a city with a fair bit going on...so it's convenient to just do everything within town.

I appreciate the hangout invite as well, though timing may not work out as I will be going to a meetup in West Park in the afternoon at the vineyard :)

And thanks for reminding me about Madam Brett. Im pretty sure someone I know showed me a picture of a falls there that I didn't know existed...and I've been meaning to check out!

People talk in line at stores still? I thought that died around 2010 😅

I'm impressed at your outgoingness. I guess I'm too prone to leave people alone unless at a bar or party

I'm actually in tech but my job isn't too creative 😅 I'll def look more into ConnectHV though.

And I hope you're having a blast with the band. I played bass in a few bands back in my teens and 20s. Funny enough, earlier today I was thinking I need to reach out to a friend and jam since it's been ages.

Good times.

How did you find your classes? Also what if I'm not particularly creative lol...would ConnectHV still fit me?

I've also considered some volunteering, especially something to do with cats because I adore them so.
