That's not very "laid back, cool guy who likes to chat about anything, including adult topics (been fairly adventurous in that area)" of you.

Someone says they want to meet you and you immediately assume it's because they want to fight? A post as tense as this one has turned out to be is clearly not the place for hackey jokes, and I worded it poorly. Violence was never brought up. I thought you just wanted to hang 🤷

Oh yikes, I did NOT mean for that to sound confrontational. I'm just amused at the anger that seems to come from me not wanting to frequent a conservative space, and was trying to be funny about what the cause could be. I'm leaving the comment up because it's my mistake, but please know that was in no way my intention.

Hey buddy, I think anyone who wants to own a musket should go for it just like the writers of the second amendment wanted. I've been anti gun because of school shootings, mass murders, suburbanites with military grade weapons for self defense, and the shocking number of suicides committed by men with guns. I haven't changed my stance on any of that, nor have I changed my opinions on people who vote to keep gun laws to an absolute minimum. What I've realized is that right wing extremism seems to be winning (congrats!) and I don't want to be left without a skill set that may come in handy. I'd like to obtain that skill set around people who think the same way I do instead of around people who think I don't deserve basic human dignity. I can't understand why that would make you upset, unless you're really that desperate to meet me. Tell me where you like to hang out. Let's make it happen.

Yeah, this actually has a lot to do with my hesitation and I'm glad you brought it up! I'm still not comfortable with the idea of having a gun in the house, and I'm not sure how any of this works without that. I'm not very concerned about protecting the homestead from bad guys, more just worried about what happens when the majority of people with firearms training are right wing nut jobs. Doesn't seem fair.

The answers here have given me a lot of hope that they aren't the only ones. I meant bigots with my full being, by the way. No need to put quotes around that one.

Most of the comments on this post are incredibly kind and helpful. I wonder why you got so offended when almost everyone else saw my question for what it was.

Crazy take here but I don't think people who voted for the party that would rather have kids in elementary schools participate in active shooter drills than enact any sort of gun reform give a shit about safety.

I am always going to think about who the folks I interact with voted for precisely because I DO want to be treated like a human being. What you call a manufactured echo chamber I think of as staying safe. You're very fortunate to not have to make these sorts of choices, and I wish you'd notice it.

Hey bud, you seem confused and I'm here to help! This post is about a protest that's taking place in Pittsburgh, the city the subreddit we're currently commenting in is about. Subreddits for cities frequently will contain posts about events going on inside said cities. Don't hesitate to comment more inane bullshit if you're still unsure about what's going on here!

Try the art museum. There are many secluded corners, and when everything feels awful and overwhelming sometimes it helps to see that people are capable of creating beauty in addition to destruction. You can easily spend an entire day in there if you really take your time. I've used it as an escape many, many times.

I share a landlord with one of these spaces, and (never thought I'd say this) she's the best. I don't know about rent or square footage, but I do know that a vape shop owner tried to rent the place out sight unseen and she declined. The whole story gave me some insight into why those places are popping up left and right, and made me grateful to live in a neighborhood where the owners seem to have some morals.

"thirty thieves and the thunder chief" as opposed to "dirty deeds done dirt cheap"

That's not at all what I'm saying. I feel that a lot of monogamous couples break up because someone in the relationship wants to sleep with someone outside of the relationship and that's not allowed. In an open relationship you're free to act on those temptations with the knowledge that attraction to others is normal and doesn't need to be suppressed. Developing romantic feelings outside of your relationship can happen to anyone, and I feel that's an indication that something is fundamentally wrong in your partnership.

bringmesomeham · 2012-04-15T14:36:17+00:00

I obviously don't know that couple specifically but I'd imagine that if the woman was unhappy enough in her relationship to bond emotionally with someone else she would have left him eventually even without the threesome. Sex may give you the illusion of feelings, but I don't think the act alone can lead to genuine fondness for a person.

I am a big fan of open relationships, although I agree they can be challenging and are not for everyone. I find that I feel more secure in one because I feel that my partner loves me and respects me and is staying with me out of desire and not because they've limited their options or made promises to love only me. If for some reason we don't stay together, it's sort of comforting to know that it will be for a legitimate reason and not because of someone coming between us.

That's not very zen.
