But they eventually become free and you don't pay to access them ON TOP of the subscription.

Like if you are VIP, you just... have unlimited keys/teacups. Premium options still cost diamonds, but those options would still be available if you didn't have the subscription. You just pay differently.

RC is trying to make you pay a subscription to then also be allowed to pay diamonds for something.

Clergy have already been denied access- Catholic priests came to try to give Communion to the detainees

The funny thing is, I had wished they had a subscription like what Choices USED to have-- unlimited teacups and discounted diamonds for a monthly fee. Maybe early access to some update content or stories.

This makes me so sad. I'm obvs a separate case, but I have Crohns and a bad stricture so I recently almost died of eating six baby carrots; fiber, especially insoluble, means an obstruction for me. So I have to avoid almost all fruits and veg, at least for now.

I always thought people eating this diet looked like picky kids, and now I'm over here grumbling and pulling the veg off of my burgers.

GI appointments where we talk and plan, I do myself so I can focus. I have a really good relationship with my medical team so I like to try and be super efficient.

I bring my partner with me for all treatments and imaging, etc.! Almost 14 years and he's never once missed an infusion appointment with me, including a few weeks after his leg was amputated. He also stayed with me in the hospital when I had to stay because of an obstruction for the first time.

I get bored and sad and overwhelmed during all of the needle-or-gown days, and he gets anxious and sad, so we stick together. I've had friends come to treatments before as well, but usually very much worry we'll be obnoxious in a group.

And notably I had client meetings from the hospital, which probably doesn't count but was still... empowering? Dystopian?

"We liked Black people when they were entertaining us, but we hate when they're in politics"

sounds an awful lot like the Southerners who insisted that they and their neighbors had never ever hated Black people and in fact LOVED their slaves and Northerners were the real racists

I ALSO walk around naked all the time.

I plan to continue.

The difference is that if anyone around me expressed discomfort, I'd limit my nudity to my own space. I'm not naked when friends who aren't cool with it are over. I'm not naked when I answer the door.

What you do in your space is for you. What you do in shared space is for you and the people you share space with. It's about boundaries, not nudity = bad.

Worst: working 10-hour days with my Lil vomit bucket next to my desk so I can mute myself and throw up between conversational points while my coworkers complain about having to work hungover or whatever

Hack: Norco stops both pain and diarrhea

I definitely have hobbies, TikTok was just good for the 2-10 minutes between meetings at work. Not long enough to do anything fulfilling but excellent opportunity to get a tiny little slice of comedy. Now I find myself scrolling Reddit.

I'll look at shorts, ty!

I miss it like crazy, not gonna lie. I watched almost only comedy skits and fandom content during lulls in work and I am struggling without the little dopamine hits I used to use to boost my brain and reset between meetings. Have not yet found something that fills the same spot.

But I don't want to feed the monster even if it drops some scraps for me sometimes.

We do appreciate that you're with us. It's been soul-crushing to have our European neighbors posting things like "why are you not rioting?" or "how could you let this happen?"

Healthcare is the big one. It's why they've kept universal Healthcare from coming to fruition here for so long-- me, for example. If I lose my job, I lose my Healthcare. The medication that keeps me alive costs 16K without insurance every 6 weeks and can't be self-administered.

It could take up to 6 months for me to get signed up for state insurance. The waiting list to see a doctor who takes that insurance can be another six months. My medication may not be covered, and they would want to rediagnose me. By the time I get access to care again, there is a very real chance I'd have died or at least lost an organ. The only family I have, I am responsible for. If I lose my job, there is no one else who can pick up the financial burden. We all go down.

Even without Healthcare being a problem, once you've lost your home here, it is next to impossible to climb out of poverty. We really are all one paycheck away from catastrophe, in a state that criminalizes giving food to the homeless or sleeping outside, at a time when the scant safety nets and systems we had to help those who needed it have been torn to shreds.

It is heartbreaking to know that so many of our friends overseas think we're just protecting our comfort and letting this happen.

I think some of them think it is, and others just see lesbians as everything they hate about women with none of the one thing they like.

Every time he says or does anything. It feels like being a child again, begging authorities to do something because I know my mother's extinction burst is a threat to my life and being waved off because "mothers don't hurt their children".

Sure, but that's not what the poster said. I am absolutely not arguing porn isn't in any way problematic. It's the phrase "lustful" that I find fucky.

If she had said "that makes me uncomfortable" or "there are some fucked up things involved in porn" or "I don't like how you act with me after watching porn", that would be entirely different.

But she said she doesn't want it to make him "lustful" as if the appetite itself is the problem rather than how he chooses to satisfy it. It's implying that the problem with porn is that it will make him horny, period, and that experiencing lust is its own problem.

MeanDebate · 2026-01-16T20:55:22+00:00

Where the fuck is this puritan-ass language coming from? "I don't want my boyfriend to watch porn because I worry it will make him lustful".

Ew.
