Sucks that our society is structured to make marriage such a large gamble. While the asexual wife thing sucks, I hope you two can connect on other levels for a rich and fulfilling relationship (since it’s not all about sex)
To your larger thesis - I agree. The labels we use - “straight”, “gay”, “bi” rarely match what people think of their own sexuality. Sometimes even when accurate we can chafe at such harsh categories. It’s just more complex and nuanced then that. But society just loves it’s labels.
What would you think of the term heteroflexible? It carries the idea that as a prince, you might have a harem exclusively of women, yet as a pauper ‘any port in a storm’ as the expression goes. Or it could mean that you prefer women, but a good blowjob is a good blowjob - regardless of the sex of the lips giving it.

- Comment on Best way to drink coke? 1 week ago:
In my opinion, the original post was “some guy” reviewing their pics and asked “which of these beverage container photos is most photogenic?” - a super casual question, and @Anomalocaris@lemm.ee said “Coke-Cola is evil!” - which is absolutely true.
I tried to carefully reword the question to ask it in an unbranded way - what is @Anomalocaris@lemm.ee’s thoughts if we push past the corporation=bad thought stopper. However I failed - and you, @surewhynotlem@lemmy.world, jumped on the new thought stopper “sodastream”. I can’t say I believe sodastream is as evil as Coke™, but they’re also certainly not angels. I’m sure you can argue that case.
But the question wasn’t about really about Coke. The question definitely wasn’t about SodaStream. The question @Armand1@lemmy.world was asking is “Which drink vessel of mine do you like?” And I don’t think you two answered that part of the question. I do love the anti-capitalist messages - but would it hurt either of you to throw Armond1 a bone in your reply to address the aesthetical question they’re asking?
- Comment on Best way to drink coke? 1 week ago:
A) Your point? Just because a government has done evil things doesn’t mean its people are evil. Unless you want to demonstrate that sodastream is under direct influence of their government, this is just guilt by association.
B) Did I say we were using a Sodastream? We’re using a home made CO2 device connected to a food grade bottle that we use to fizz the drink - we just use the same screw thread size as the sodastream product because it’s currently popular.
- Comment on Best way to drink coke? 1 week ago:
Okay - how about if it were a homemade cola prepared in a sodastream style and the aluminum can in the right were sourced from a recycling center to reduce waste (and the others vessels are thrift ware)
Can you express a preference in that case? (I get the point you’re making, fine; but at least answer the question they’re about the aesthetic of the containers)

All holidays are weird. Half are choosing to celebrate some minute facet of human life and the other half are some facet of human history (often blown up into legend)
In a world where we have holidays for a fertility god long since swallowed up by mystery cult god with the symbol of an oviparous hare, and we invite children to openly impersonate devilry each year in the autumn, or how we celebrate Columbus for their “discovery” when the continent itself was named after Amerigo Vespucci (and both events glossing over the indigenous people living here already) … and you think Juneteenth is the unusual one?
What do you find so weird about the day? (Enough to go out of your way to advertise your discontent in social media) - I’m genuinely curious.
- Comment on Midweek feels 2 weeks ago:
In case you’re being genuinely naïve, both your comments read as something a racist would say.
Calling Juneteenth a weird holiday implies it makes you uncomfortable. I personally wasn’t raised celebrating the tradition - but it only took a quick web search and reading a few articles to quickly find plenty of reasons to like the holiday. What precisely do you find weird about the holiday?
Your follow-up comment was even more damning - you were asked if you wore a hood (like a Ku Klux Klansman) and your reply was as though you were asked if you wore a hoodie (cliché stereotype).
Are you like openly racist? I’d ask if it is some misunderstanding, but you’re swinging zero for two so far.

Strictly speaking, if someone asked me to do something and I agree, that makes me responsible. So because they forgot they’re tectonically responsible - but that doesn’t mean the roommate is right. They’re still a stuck-up asshole.

- Comment on Praise jeebus 2 months ago:
The First Council of Nicaea (325) established common Paschal observance by all Christians on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.[18] Even if calculated on the basis of the Gregorian calendar, the date of that full moon sometimes differs from that of the astronomical first full moon after the March equinox.[19]
They wanted “first Sunday of Spring” but defined using their calendar, but that calendar doesn’t mesh perfectly with our calendar (and has leap months every few years), so converting to Gregorian makes it appear to move around.

This is correct, for at least the scope of my life - business likes to treat other non-business organizations as simply inferior businesses.

- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 1 year ago:
For what it’s worth, it’s been suggested that Musk’s takeover of Tesla was opportunistic, and against the desire of Tarpenning and Eberhard.
From my research, Tarpenning was pressured into quitting, and Eberhard was fired by the board of directors for lying to the board. Since Elon was chairman of the board at the time, it’s plausible (and even hinted at) that Elon played dirty to push through this firing.
I cannot say for sure if they would have handled the company more ethically then Musk, but I am personally uncomfortable hanging them out to dry simply on what could have been.
That said, I agree that employee co-ops are a top tier business organization structure.
