The trope of society praising male promiscuity is largely an invention of the 20th century. Biblical and Hebrew texts all encourage punishment of both man and woman in instances of adultery. As a man I don’t like promiscuous men because the

Isn’t being a stay at home wife being compensated to do that work? Your bills and mortgage are paid for, so is the food. You get to spend time with the kids. Sounds way less stressful than a high stakes job.

Nostalgia for childhood where you had a community (family) and your needs were taken care of (dependence).

Loving people equally is impossible. Even poly people have a 'primary' introducing hierarchy and preference. A group of people sleeping together is not a stable community. It's filled with people who are trying to sleep with

How do you address the feeling that the non-committed person you're sleeping with 1) Does not prioritize you 2) Finds somebody they like more than you 3) Not actually happy with you but still uses you 4) Is going to get STDs from other

I find it funny that poly relationships will insist on talking about feelings but get very uncomfortable at any sign of jealousy or attachment.

People who do not depend on relationships simply don't enter into relationships. For everybody else, there is the normal and perfectly human feelings of jealousy, attachment, fear or loss, and feeling associated with self-confidence.

can we also blame the DNC for not holding an election for who would run against trump? Or the DNC for throwing Bernie under the bus in 2016 (he would have beaten trump)? Maybe the two party system has grown rotten to the core

Before LLMs, Google was showing highlights which took crawled content and displayed it on google search results, meaning they’d get less traffic on their site while google stole their content. It’s unfortunate that google helped kickstart t

What’s missing from these conversations are the cost of living. We’ve financialized the housing market, meaning the very basic needs of shelter now rises in price in accordance to the market. If tech workers make 2x or 3x the median annual

Blue origin just landed their new glen rocket. Not an easy feat. Although I wish billionaires would fix homelessness, I think its good there’s more competition in the space launch industry.

I think they’re doing a great thing. My area has seen some wildfire smoke season near the end of summer. It never happened when I was a kid. Now every summer there’s wildfire smoke for several days or several weeks. The climate appears to b

Right, I’m glad there’s some platforms that still ensure standards for content. Unlike facebook which recommends pornographic content and AI generated attention bait.

No need to ban speculators, just tax them fairly as the article suggests.

Buy from a speculator and you get to enter the market at a price of their choice. Vacant land is land that somebody could have built a home or a restaurant or a storefront or an apartment complex on, except it's being hoarded by specul

Before contraceptives, there was no such thing as casual sex (except for the homosexual kind). Sex produced babies, 2% of women died in childbirth. Children need a father to help provide and protect, without that, babies were often just aba

This isn’t a western view, it’s literally how the majority of the world still operates. Marriage is not an abrahamic invention, it happens in eastern cultures, middle eastern cultures, african cultures, it’s basically universal. Before cont

It was just 60 years ago, and most cultures in the world today still practice this form of sexual modesty.

This is an unusual take. People in the past made 4-10 babies per family and they did it by being celibate until marriage. Sex positivity and casual relationships were not normal, and grandparents encouraged marriage before sex, probably bec

Do you feel that this is a fair way to distribute earnings upon divorce? When no children are involved? My interpretation is that one should not marry somebody who earns significantly less than them due to how courts will force payments wit

Women can leave and get alimony, child support, and often times greater custody of the kids. Men don’t want to take that risk, so many men opt out of marriage as well.

Men are avoiding marriage due to the possibility of alimony, child support and courts favoring mother’s custody over children. It happened to my dad, my mom got over $1 million in 2011 when they divorced. Overall it seems like marriage is a
